started flowering her at about 12" or so.. i started with 5 plants, 3 turned out to be male so i scrapped them..
it was my first grow so I experimented with the others (LST, FIM topping, but not both for any plant)... the LST'd one looked awesome, but was male..
The female one that is in the pics got very badly stunted when it was young because it grew right up into the lights when i was gone and got burnt all over.. i chopped off pretty much every fan leaf and it didnt grow for 2 weeks.. then it started growin nice..
and the other female, its still alive and budding, but not worth posting pics lol i transplanted it completely wrong and had to cut off 3/4 of the roots! (long story) .. live and learn, or read about it first.. lol

its now 27 days since i switched to 12/12 and no more gettin burnt or probs transplanting!

sounds like you had quite a first grow there but as you said live and learn!

oh yea I checked out a couple more of your threads and came across one with your growroom and noticed your i think there called hygrometers temperature/humidity that I guess you got from Radioshack since is says Radioshack on it and was wondering how much $ did that run ya?

Looks good better than mine and I harvest the 2nd week in May, what is it that you are growing....if it is a real strain what is the flowering time.....Boy you and her did a GREAT job!!

thanks blazin!

not sure about the strain but got the seeds from a buddy who grew outdoors and it looks mostly sativa I think but Im no expert.. Im guessing anywhere from 7-9 weeks in flowering before harvest.. i got a one of those lighted 30X scopes from Radio Shack that everyone is talkin bout and have been lookin to see triclomes, but to be honest, Im not sure if I can quite tell yet clear from cloudy lol
looks pretty much the same to me

beautiful!

sweeeet.
nice prob to have

after reading videoman's thread on molasses, I bought some today and am going to start adding it tomorrow.. does 1 tbls per 2 litres sound about right? and do this once a week, so every other watering or so?

A credit to you, to achieve so much with so little light. Excellent. If you want those buds to grow nice and tight though, I'd think about adding a few more flouro's.

More light=more bud.

Nice going!

thanks skunk... dont know why u got so mad at me in your thread though, I guess i read your question wrong like everyone else.. lol
Ive thought about adding more cfls, I have like 20+ of them, but putting them in there isnt easy.. its pretty crammed with all the ones I have in there already

Great job, Chron. I have been adding 1 tbs of molasses per gallon of water. Videoman advised me that I should be adding 2 tbs per gallon.

I didn't get mad. It's just the way I am... it's very easy to take me the wrong way.

You're doing great for a flouro grow. I'm really impressed... but as you said, the flouro's take up a lot of room. Any thoughts on switching to hps?

well shes cut, trimmed and layed out for a pic..
the buds on the left have been drying for 5 days, I harvested the top colas first and left the underbuds (on the right in the pic) dense up a bit more before harvest.. The top colas weighed 84 grams trimmed and wet right off the plant and the underbuds weighed 81 grams wet and trimmed right off the plant, for a total of 165 grams wet.. If I get even 1/3 of that dry Ill be happy!

Are you sure they were ready? I've been trying to work out your flowering time and I get it to dead on 8 weeks.

Also, you're looking at a 5th of the wet weight. So you're looking about 33g.

damn..that was such a nice lookin plant. too bad its gonna suck bcuz of that molasses..
