Day 15

I watered yesterday with molasses and superthrive, no problems as of yet so it's liking them I think. Today I took out the exhaust fan and replaced it with a different 120mm fan that is rated at about 45cfm and is on a separate charger, so I'm getting better airflow now and reduced the temps by about 2 degrees inside the case.

I bought an ozone generator for the smell just to make things easy on myself. This removes any worries I had over the smell and for a reasonable price since it will probably last a long time. Yay! I'm glad I have a job...

I went outside to survey the pastures behind my house because I'd like to attempt an outdoor grow this summer. I bought 5 kiwiskunk seeds, they claim they are pretty mold-resistant, and still smell skunky, they're sativas and I will eventually start a thread for those once I'm ready to plant them and show you all the place I picked out for them.

Anyways, here's pics.

Yes, but I think I need to either change the way the lights are setup (still figuring what I can hold them in place with) but I may add 2 lights sometime this week and that will probably be it. Thanks for following.

Day 16

I did some more LST today to get Stubby going in a circle. Hard to tell she's turning but she is believe me. It will show in a few days probably. I moved one light and taped it to the side of the pot, not sure if it will be any more effective since it's kinda far but the undergrowth should get a little more light.

Also, I was thumbing through the fan leaves to check out all the branch nodes and undergrowth, and I think I see two separate
preflowers so I will keep an eye on those and take pics if I'm able in a few days. Maybe plants mature faster under a 24/0 cycle? I hope so! Okay here's some pics.

You can definately tell they are getting much better from that heat burn a few days back. are you gonan do that thing where it gets your like 2+ main collas?

Nah, honestly the heat stress scared me into thinking that it could hermie potentially, since I heard fem. seeds tend to do that. So no topping on this grow. I really just want to get this one finished before I try anything fancier than LST. I'm also wondering when I should actually switch to 12/12... I was going for day 21, but I may go as early as day 18.

Oh yeah i guess your right that would suck if it hermied >.< Well How tall can your plant grow since its in your pc case? Might be a good idea to do it soon if your low on room

Well.. since I'll be lsting the whole way the only thing I have to worry about is the shoots going up from the main cola rather than the height of the main cola itself.. I am anxious to start 12/12 don't get me wrong.. And I probably won't get a huge harvest anyways so maybe I should just go for 18 to make myself happy lol. 18 is plenty anyways for a pc grow..

Day 17

Hey all.

Took some pictures quickly because I'm going out to dinner soon. Stubby is just becoming more and more of a bush every day. I need to take pictures of all the undergrowth because it's almost growing just as fast at various nodes than the main cola growth. It's amazing. I ordered some 42W 2700k lights, but they were only like 3 bucks a pop so I'm not really sure how good they will be for that cheap lol but we will see. Still don't know when I'll switch to 12/12. Today i kinda thought of waiting till Day 21 again, so I probably will wait till then. I didn't check if it needed water, probably will tomorrow. So an update with a little more pictures tomorrow.

looking good bro. how much vertical height do you have left. usually takes alround 2 weeks to show sex. the first 4 weeks of flowering is when they will stretch the most so be ready for that. you may want to switch em over now. from what i have noticed, plants stretch more under 2700k than under 6500k. when plants get too tall in my case i use this stuff called bushmaster. it helps to stop vert growth and throws em into flower faster.

Well they are sitting on top of 5 or 6 dvds but I thought if I keep doing lst then then the vertical height wont be an issue. But I will take your word for it and switch to 12/12 tomorrow. If I have space left at the end of this grow I will just know next time. Thanks man. I may look into bushmaster if it isn't that pricey.
