Antique Cabinet Grow!!

small update tonight. I fed the girls last night and they seem to have adapted to the move pretty well. They have all grown alot over night. I only took one picture of all four of them together.

Looking good bro ! You might want to fill the pots to the rim it helps support the stem and will avoid moist dead air pockets where mold can grow it makes watering a bit messier but the plants will appreciate it

once i decide to flip the lights to 12 and 12 when should I start feeding the bloom nutes?

ww

i water a few times with just ph'ed water just to make sure i dont double nute them

So I started the 12/12 flower cycle yesterday. I can tell a big difference. Here's some pics.

WW

keep the light out during lights out and you will be flowering in no time

I also water at least twice with just ph'd water before flowering to get rid of veg nutes and any salt build up. Just my opinion, and can't wait to see some pubic hairs LOL..

reflective floor! i love it all the light that misses the plants keeps bouncing around!

update today. The plants are getting so big. All of them have these little pointy things where the branches come out of the main stem. Just wondering if this is new growth or signs of being female? I put a picture of what I am talking about. They've only been in flower for 3 days. Anyways let me know please

WW

these are pre flowers and not a good sign to see so early but there is no tellin for about another week! kust keep an eye out for little ball clusters they are bad!!! where the side branches meet the stalk you will start to see hairs on the girls ... im lookin for good pics now!

I read on another RIU thread that those things poking out are called stipules and occur on both male and female plants. Those "stipules" are getting bigger and there is still new growth at what I think would be bud sites. Also the thread said that those stipules show up when a plant gets around 4 weeks old regardless of flowering. I don't know but here's some more pics

WW

Thats correct al cannabis plants wether male or female have stipules. In the 3rd pic I believe I see a catalyst...... You would need to crop the original pic to confirm...

right at the base of those stips you will see a tear drop shapped nugget with two hairs coming out if its a girl... if a boy a bunch of lil balls1 will form there not good... you will see in a week or two you will be an expert plant sexer!!!!

Well one plant is for sure a girl!!!! One other is showing signs but I can't see any hairs come out. The one that did show hairs is so hard to see that I missed it the first time I looked at it. My camera won't focus that close up so I don't have any pictures for proof but they will be alot easier to see in a few days I'm guessing. The other two I don't know yet. The last one is the girl.

WW

dont worry about proving anything to us just make sur you get the males out! they usually show first so you might be good if the girls are showing already!!

Do you give your plants the bloom nutes every watering or do it every other like with the grow nutes? Just a quick question.

WW

I use my nutes every watering i start out weak and work my way up till i see burn then back it down a pinch! I water with plain water every two weeks to try to keep salt buildup down you will find what works best for you!

just wondering how long i have before its too late to pull a female out of flowering to make her a mother plant?

you can re-vegg a plant after it buds if you want to ! but anytime you put it back in 18-24 hour on light it will re-vegg..might yake a few weeks to get it back to total vegg!

Sorry its been such a long time since I posted. Been a little busy. I ended up with 3 out of 4 plants being male. But that one female ended up being really big and the lst I did in the beginning made lots of nice places to clone from. I took 9 clones tonight, 4 in soil and 5 in rockwool to see which method I like more. The ones in soil were cloned with generic lowes cloning powder and peat pellets. The ones in rockwool were done with cloning gel and rockwool cubes from a hydro store. So we shall see.

I also germed a seed of afghan kush and a seed of trainwreck, both fem seeds from attitude. Gonna see how those end up.
