Welcome to the first ever easy going tokers grow. Ill be going posting up the past week of the 4 Master Kush and 1 BubbleGum x Superskunk seedlings and how they'v been doing.

Initialy it started with 4 kush seeds and 4 bubblegum, i put them in moist papper towls folded twice and then inside 2plates put ontop of my wooden light box for warmth.
By Day -2 four of the Kush seeds had popped open but none of the bubblegum
By Day -2 1/2 they roots for 3 of the kush seeds were 1 1/2 inches long and they went into soil.

By Day -3 1/2 The fourth kush seed went ino the soil. I added 3more bubblegum seeds after this.
By Day -4 The 3 kush seeds were out out and growing! (oldest to youngest)
By Day -4 1/2 The 4th kush seed was poking its head outta the soil and the bubblegum seeds went into soil. Still no other bubblegum seeds had popped but i will be adding more seeds for new sprouts after these babies flower and i get some viable mothers :twisted:

By Day -5 The 4th and final kush seed made its apearance =) and the other 3 were growing strong!
By Day -5 1/2 The Bubblegum seed had made its appearance!
By Day -6 The 3 Master Kush sprouts were fattening up there leaves and just getting bigger and The 4th one was starting to grow its first leaf set, The bubblegum sprout was also starting its leaf growth.
By Day -7 wich is Today! All 5 sprouts are going good!
Lighting - 70w Bright White CFL and 60w Warm White. ill be adding another 50w of warm white once they go into flowering in 2 to 3 weeks.
Soil - 50% palm peat mixed with 50% EasyGrow 7N,5P,5K Vermiculite. i plan to grow these sprouts to a height of 3inches over the next 2 to 3weeks then i will flower them, by the time they show sex they should be 5inches in height after 2weeks and i will then take out the males if any and a good mother or 2. After this they will flower to a height of +/- 10inches for 7 to 10 weeks.
As for air, i have 2 turbo PC fans, one inlet and one outlet. Also 1 fan for air movement but it doesnt get that hot in the cab, i hav to actually turn the fan on and turn the inlet/outlet fans off for the cab to build up some heat and humidity which is cool. The lights are on a timer and are running for 24h, inlet/outlet fan stays on and room fan is turned on when needed.
Nutrients - Ill be started the srouts on Seaweed Concentrate in a weeks time twice a week then for flowering i will be starting with half dose Chimicult Orchid Nutes 10|30|30. then move up to full dose, then 1 and a half dose then stop for the final 2weeks and just flush with some good old Crude Black Strap Mollases every 3 or 4 Days. And thats it for now! Enjoy.

Heres the Pics :joint:

Looks good bro, but you should be flowering with the HPS. Use tube floros or Bright White CFL's to veg but otherwise some of your babies are a bit older than mine and they look good, hopefully ill have a few more plants coming in soon.

nice pics. check these out: random seeds, some could be years old. all were planted on the same day and manipulated in different ways, bending and topping. These are 12 days in:

The one on the top left is the shiznit. It's been a month and 3 days now, and it has been flowering for 3 weeks already! Using 8-8-8 miracle grow potting soil, cfl's and plain ol' h2o. whachya think?

sorry for hogging your log, just want to compare and see what you think? I am going for quick, cheap, low profile and low maintenance. just to see what yield I can get without putting hardly any effort in. it's doing amazingly well, I think. only 3 or 4 weeks till harvest, and it's only 12 inches tall. LOL :)

OutdoIndo - lol, hey man, plants are looking ok, not years old tho. they look just a few weeks older than my little babies, so they 3weeks into flowering...hav they shown any sex yet? im also going for low maintenance/biggest yeild but there is still a good amount of hobby work involved.

Ok so today is day 10 of vegging for my little sprouts and the 3 Master Kush seeds are already starting to grow their 3rd leaf sets, the 4th Kush seed is lagging a little bit and seems to have taken off slower than the Bubblegum, the Bubblegum Superskunk is doing well and working on its 2nd leaf set while the 4th Kush is still tryna fatten up its first set. So so far all is going well and tomorow i will be starting the 3 Kush sprouts on Seaweed Concentrate, the 4th kush seems to be the runt so far but who knows, she may just take off in a few days so im holding thumbs but it wouldnt be a major loss.

No, no, I'm sorry... the seeds could be years old, i have hundreds all mixed together, lol. ;) Those last pix were of day 12. Check out today's pix... only day 35, I planted the germinated seeds on May 1st, but I did have a lot of males to kill. :( Obviously, the bushier, shorter ones, I topped. All are 35 days old though! And yes there is a Red & Blue Led panel to the left.

it's crazy to me three very different strains, plus one is not topped, one is topped to 2 colas, and the other is topped to 4 colas... they are all the same exact age, but they look so different. The shortest one hasn't even sexed yet. i'm hoping for tiny clear hairs tomorrow morning. keep your fingers crossed 4 me!

Trippy setup bra. I like those photos, they're kinda artsy, nice form bra. How close do those LED need to be? looks like they're not casting much light. For flowering you may consider making some reflectors, it will increases the the power of your light system.

thanks northwest,
actually, the led's can touch the leaves without damaging them. i have it set there to maximize reflection in the corner mylar as well as from the two walls. they are bright enough to penetrate the 10,200 lumes of daylight-light cfl's and visibly reflect off the mylar! i can see it, althought very lightly, on the backside of the plants.

i would have hung it at 45 degrees downward too, but i literally just got it last week, and my wiring is a mess... i refuse to post pix of that, they are safe, but embarrassingly tangled and pinned so i can move the CFL's wherever i need to move them... good enough 4 temporary, but when this batch is done, i need to do some serious re-arranging.

ok ok, lets slow down with the journal hogging OutdoIndo :roll::eyesmoke:
yeah your plants are lookin good dude, the LED panel is sick too, a tip for growing with CFL's is that they emit more
light out of the sides of the bulb than they do out of the top, my light box has all my CFL's running horizontal or
slightly tipped to allow as much light as possible to be on my plants. just my 2cents lol. u can see in the pics.

So! Today is Day 11 of Vegging for my little babies and they are doing great! the 4th Master Kush sprout is still lagging behind the Bubblegum and i noticed today that the 4th Kush has a bit of stunted growth with one of the leaves on her second set but shes doing ok and coming along nicely. Today is also the first day ill feeding my babies with Seaweed Concentrate, gonna start off on half strength and then move up to full strength in a week or so. Just gonna feed the 3 Kush's today since they are ready, monday ill be feeding all the plants and hopefully the Bubblegum and 4th Kush will be big enough which im sure they will by then, and then Thursday ill be flushing to leech out any buildup in the soil, then ill be repeating the process - Friday Feed, Monday Feed, Thursday Flush, until we reach about Day 25 at which ill be putting my babies into 24h of darkness to get them started in Flowering :bigjoint: then they will go onto 13h OFF and 11h ON and flower for about 6 to 9 weeks! more info on flowering feeding times to come on Day 25.
But for now here are the pictures for today! Enjoy! im off to Blaze a some Hindu Kush :blsmoke::joint:

Hello everybody! Today is Day 13 of Vegging for my 4 Master Kush and 1 Bubblegum x Superskunk plants. The 3 first Kush sprouts to take off have started growing their third leaf set now
and its coming along nice, if they keep up the good growth then i could flower early :hump: The biggest one also has sights of branches begining to grow. The Bubblegum isnt far behind and the 4th Kush is still lagging a bit but doing better. Tomorow will be Week2 which means all plants will be getting a feeding and then there is just a week left until flowering begins! then shit gets exiting...

Anyway, heres the Pics! :joint:
