thanks for the good feedback growwww, i'm pleased with how things are going for the moment
i'm watching/measuring the jock horror pretty close, not sure how high this thing will bolt
unless it's a male of course, in which case i don't care too much
does look like it's putting out pistils though

about a week of flowering, and the rewards are beginning to show

the nl#5 is around 10 inches, and bushing up more every day
looks like it will a dome of buds, what a change from the mom
mom threw out a large spike of a main cola
5500k is still the light, 2700k soon
i changed to 2700k at 2 weeks of flower last time
like to see the pistils well formed before changing, worked well last time anyways




jock horror is at 9 inches, squat but branchy with wide gaps between nodes
does look a lot like other jock grows i've watched
my nl#5 has a tiny bit of odor, the jock is effectively ZERO
you have to get within an inch with your nose to smell anything
and that isn't much, it is supposed to be a pretty low odor strain
can't make a flower call for sure yet, but does look female

just realised, is the top of the tube sealed, or is it the lights dangling in them...Also to water do you just get a bottle and poor it in or do you lift the tube?

evening growww, the top is a steel pizza dish
lights are mounted in sockets, dish fits like a dome on top of the tube
now watering, that i've done several ways
currently, just pop the pot right out by lifting
the pot is on top of a pedestal of bricks, which gets the plant right up to the cfl's
when the pedestal gets low, i lift up the tube, that's at the end of the flowering stage

what kind of rocks are you growing in ? sorry if this has been answered before.
nope, hasn't come up yet
it's actually just a layer of pebbles over dirt
it keeps the top layer of dirt moist, get root growth right up to the top of the soil
 
Plants are lookin great growone...what a comeback! NL#5 is lookin great... If that Jock Horror is a sativa it has some pretty fat leaves...I see the holes on top of your pot for the JH, you thinkin about doin a bit of training on her?

hey there cypress, good to hear from you again
yah,it's amazing how a damaged plant can spring back, i really tried the micro setup to the bitter end, just wouldn't work for me
and the JH fat indica leaves, some JH show this indica trait, it's a pheno that is out there
training is my fall back plan, hoping i can pull it off as a natural plant

It's about the knowledge, and if you can do it small, then you'll be better off if you feel it's time for a bigger scale. It's inspiring and motivating to see other do their thing and don't worry about haters. Peace

just kind of talking to theme of size and hps/cfls
i'm kind of amazed at the 1 kw HPS grows, but grows like those give you a good pound of weed(with most strains)
i do not want a pound of bud, it's a lot more than i need and is a pretty nasty risk
for those fortunate to be legal, that's a lot more understandable
but to tell you the truth, i probably wouldn't do a 1 kw grow even if legal, just burning up electric power
no reservations on HPS, probably the biggest grow i would do would be a 250w one

nl#5, so very nice - jock horror, i think a rooster is in the hen house

nl#5 is up around 13 inches, the budding is just starting to begin
the few brown spots are cfl burn, cfl's will burn if they touch the leaf
a bit over 13 inches tall, she's going to be a plump girl
the 2700k cfl's have replaced the 5500k



jock horror, i'm pretty sure i see balls, or the beginning of balls
plant has really shot up in the last few days, that smells like a male
well, i did want some pollen at some point, a nl#5 cross with jock might be nice
just have to be ready to move to 'male safe zone', and collect some pollen there

around 2 weeks of flowering, and the nl#5 is really budding strong
the jock horror, well he went to the place all males go
i cut some tops to try my hand at pollen collection
i think the nl is ripening too quick for pollinating though
nl is at 15 inches, and is definitely budding faster than from seedling
shame about those little cfl burns, kind of distracts from all the green
different color in pic, using flash now, the 2700k bulbs give funky looking pics
