Got a couple pics. Today is the start of day 4 of flower. About how many days does it take to show sex? I accidentally let a leaf touch a light and it sat there too long and burnt it. Im sure it should be ok tho. The bottom is full of new leaves and nodes its crazy. Its like a dense jungle on the bottom half. Havent fed any kind of nutes. Just tap water left to sit out. What is the NPK of the nutes i should use? Has to be something i can get from walmart or menards. Living in a tiny town sucks.
Todays measurements.
8 inches from soil to top of plant.
9 nodes.
74 degrees
39% humidity.

nooooooooooo! ok? no
trimming removes valuable food he plant could use and it stunts growth lol.
some people do trim for certain reasons but i really wouldn't advise it mate.
Oh yeah shit hes right. I was just sayin the plants looked
good from a pic i saw probably a post or so back lol.
I didnt read that last post, my bad.
(im pretty high so if this doesnt make sence my bad again
)

Start of day 5 of flowering.
5-23w 2700k
still 8 inches tall
74 degrees
40% humidity
Hasnt really changed much at all since yesterday. When i switched from the 6500k to 2700 for 12/12 it pretty much stopped all growth and has been growing much slower. Hopefully will see signs of sex soon. Still no calyx or anything. I wish i had some kind of box or cab i could use so i could line it with mylar and shit. Anyone know of a super cheap way to build a box or a premade one good for 1 plant? I wanna keep all the light in and on my plant. Right now it just goes all over my closet and im sure thats not helping much. The burnt leaf tip is from letting a light sit on it for too long the other day when i was adjusting them.

You will notice a slowing down of growth initially when you start the flowering phase as the plant starts to stop using energy on growing and use it on starting the flowering phase. get me?
cant you just get some cheap plywood and 2x1 and make a little enclosed area in your cupboard? then you can get mylar or blackout sheeting it would stop the wasting of so much light.
other than that there looking great, keep it up.

i wish i could build one but i cant. i have no tools at all except a couple screw drivers. no one i know has a saw or anything either so im kinda screwed unless i go buy all those tools. i was thinking about putting the plant in the corner of the wall and then go to walmart and get an emergency blanket and hang it from the shelves in my closet to act as the other 2 walls.

it might work that way mate,
if you can get a saw a hammer and some nails you would be sorted prob cost you about a £5
plus the wood which isnt expensive.
if all else fails you could try just hanging the sheets, just watch your temp and airflow. and make sure the blankets dont touch the light.

Start of day 6 of flower.
Still no signs of sex, no calyx anywhere or anything. Hope it shows soon.
grew to 9 inches tall.
Just watered.
I was thinking about maybe changing out one of the 5 2700k with one of the 6500k so instead of having 5 2700k lights on it there will be 4-2700k and 1-6500k. might help it grow i dunno. what do you think? next time i stop by walmart ill look for some y splitters.
