1 unknown seed in DWC (about 1wk into flowering)

[Super Grower]

Ok, so i germinated about 6 seeds at once, a couple chyrstal couple T*hazexskunk1 and an unknown bagseed, welll the good strains didnt make it because once i took the humidity dome off them the grodan dried to fast and killed all but the bagseed which was the biggest,

after that I was told on another site that i needed to keep watering with plain water, and my plant was already growing in hydroton then, but for some reason the leafs were really crisping at the edges and wasnt growing fast at all, so i stopped taking that advice and came here, and found i need to feed it a lot if i was top watering and it was only in hydroton and not into the water at the bottom yet. so i did and it got a little better, but still slow on growth! cant wait to see and taste the buds to see if it is a good bagseed or noT!

so it has been growing out of the cracked shell since about dec.10, and i switched it to flowering about 5 days ago, you might think its big! but its not! damnit well anyways heres some pics!
so u can see they were a little sick! well its just one plant, so i started giving nutes and it helped a lot!! i use aqua flakes from house and garden, also some superthrive and SWEET, o and some kln root, the light is 400w hps floralux not air cooled it gets from 78-90 degrees but been keeping that under 85 as much as possible.




i now flipped the lights to 12/12 about 5 days ago still under same light 400w hps , switched to feeding them same aqua flakes, but adding moab to it for the flowering stage and SWEET still. any suggestions would be SOOO APPRECIATED!!! heres some pics up to date, taken today of the plant!














the temp is 79 right now cuz im leaving my closet door open, does that affect lightbecause its leaking in my room? and the humidity is 36 should that be ok or will higher make a difference in growing? the plant is about an inch shorter then that arrowhead 1gal jug . any helpful thoughts would be nice! will update soon!

that plant is in bad shape. i cant tell from the pics, but if thats 2 months of growth under a 400w i suggest you just trash that plant. go get you some weed with seeds in it and start over again.

 

[Super Grower]

Any other helpful suggestions to my questions would be highly appreciated

ALL the leafs in the first pics were bad, but my plant is growing good again, it just got its first 5 finger leafs 2 at the top and at about every internode there are little leaf spurs coming out, and i am pretty sure it is showing signs of white pistils also! = ) so i still want to say and harvest since its about 1 week into flowerin! thanks!


im using aqua flakes, and moab and SWEET for flowering stages! any other products im lacking and need would be appreciated if i got that answer!!

That Plant is not ready for flowering, not even close. I would revert back to 18/6 untill it grows way bigger then that. The latest pictures shows it seems to be somewhat healthy.

My 2 cents.

 

[FreezerBoy]

I've never understod how starving a plant is good for it. I never let a plant, seed or unrooted cutting sit in plain water. I start all with General Hydroponics FloraMicro and FloraBloom (no Flora Grow) at 1/4 tsp per gallon.

Until you have roots sticking out of your net pot, keep the bottom inch or three submerged in your res. When roots are long enough, drop the water level an inch or so below the pot (some would say even with the pot)

I'm doing the T*Haze also. As you can see, happy roots make a happy plant. It's a weed. That it's survived this long is a testament to it's strength. Give it some diluted food (don't want to burn it), maybe a few drops of B1 (rooting hormones such as liquid Hormex) see if she doesn't reward you.

Note the black tub if the first shot. That's because I'm too stupid to live. Water temps quickly soared to 100+ Hence the frozen bottle of water to cool it down. Again, it's a weed. Even our best attempts to kill it usually fail.







One last note. The blue plant went male. The orange one, Wilma, was one ugly duckling. Small, twisted, puny. Look at her now. You can do this.

THANKS!

THANKS!

Blunt 69: hey thanks for the advice, its actually showing about 8 white pistils 2 each in 4 different internodes, so i know its a female,

so if i reverted back to veg would that stress it to become male when i try to flower again???

ALSO the temps were usually at 78-96 ranging, so i think that might have been why it was stunted in growing a lot? ?? any opinions? so im keeping the temp as low as i can its at 76 right now buts its the morning for me and im going to work and its gonna raise i just knowit, ive been keeping the door open to let warm air into my room, does that affect how many lumens the plant gets
???


Freezerboy: good going! Great revive from that plant that was pruny! do u have a pic of it?? awesome job! yeah any help from the above questions would be GREAT! does my clothes hanging in the closet effect the plants either?

 

[Guest]

1 plant under a 400 seems like a waste of energy. all that light for one small plant. not that there is anything wrong with going ahead with the one, but maybe you would be better off cracking like 40 seeds, keep the females, then keep only the best 16 and run with those. or veg the one a bit longer and clone her for a harvest that will last you about 3 months.

 

[Super Grower]

1ft tall

1ft tall

Shenanigans:i totally would do that if i had the seeds. i have to buy mine, and yeah 40 seeds would be a lot of money, is there anyway u know i can come across some seeds....like in these forums or something? THA NKS

its about a foot tall, its growing leafs outta every internode there is. and growing new 5 finger leafs, how much bud do u think i will get out of this plant? also need the questions above last post answered still if anyone can help THANKS!

I didn't reveg, it was from seed. Wilma just wasn't pretty like Betty was. Betty was beautiful, symetrical, stronger root growth. Then Betty went Barney and, suddenly, Wilma looked prety good. But, at first, she was twisted and curled. Bizarre leaves, holes, even numbered fans, roots much slower to develope ...

answer my questions above PLEASE!!!

answer my questions above PLEASE!!!

i said revive not reveg .......so i was meaning like that it came from being all bad to great again.. not to be mean or anything!


can u help me tho on some of my questions please freezerboy, or anyone?

also does hot boxing your room with a freshly sprouted seedling effect it?

 

[Super Grower]

UPDATE

UPDATE

here are some pics to size it, thats a 1gal arrowhead jug, its about 14inch right now tall! with female signs coming up at each internode! YAY

 

[FreezerBoy]

i said revive not reveg .......

D'oh. Gotta learn to read someday.

I really don't have an answer for you but, I do have some questions. pH and EC? Can you give us before and after numbers? Bad water can prevent nutrient absorption.

Hotboxing has me stumped I don't know what it is.

 

[Super Grower]

the big problem is FREEZERBOY is that i only have a vial ph tester so its not that accurate, and i have no idea what the ec level is of my water, thats probably hurting me but i dont have the money for a meter right now.

Question though, please answer as quick as possible....

i already know its a true female but if i revert back to 18/6 since ive been on 12/12 for like 8-9 days will that stress the plant so that once i do go to 12/12 again it will have a chance of being a male? because i want the plant a little bigger and more bud sites to get more bud, or is my plant big enough to get atleast an oz. from?


an if i do revert back to 18/6 should i buy a mh to veg quicker under because i only have a t5 thats growing my 1 little plant and my hps which my big plant vegged under and is flowering under now. so im asking would be getting an mh and turning back to 18/6 stress it to much to become a male perhaps? and would the mh work a lot more better then my 400whps floralux or is it just a slight difference as i dont have to much money but probably could get enough for a bulb.

 

[cygnus]

You should definentley go back to veg it won't make her turn male. You should also LST or top it so you can get some clones asap.

 

[FreezerBoy]

I've no experiance with revegging so I can't help you there.

Just dropped $160 on a BlueLab EC Truncheon (great choice) and pHion pH Stix test strips (bad choice) and now that I've used them I can say I didn't need either. But, that's just the water situation I'm in. Who knows what the next water supply will be. I've found the pH vial kits to be accurate, they're just a bit of a pain to use.

If this is same plant as that at the top of the page, it looks like you saved her. I'd clone her and, once I see roots, flip the lights on the donor.

Good save.

 

[GreenBowlsmoker]

i agree i would veg it longer i would also top it and let it bush out , i have a 400 w hps and ui use it for both cycles , here is a good example of a plat in a dwc bucket at about a month and a half . not trying to hyjack the post or brag , just trying to help ya out , i toped my girls twice .






oh yea , also watch out for ROOT-ROT , its a killer , keep you bucket water temps in the low 70's and you will be ok , also if you need to cool water , you can freeze 20oz bottles and drop them in there. if you do get root-rot use a product called sm-90 , and fallow the back of the bottle. hope this helps .

 

[Super Grower]

Greenbowlsmoker: thanks man for the advice i appreciated it,

a couple questions......

Will my female plant since i already know the sex, and its about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks into flower, will it go male if i switch it back to 18/6 right now and then when i flower it might become male from the stress? or what?

Also once i revert back to 18/6 then do i top it like the picture below, it goes fan leaves, then another set of fan leaves then 1 set of 5 finger real big leaves then above that there is another set of 5 finger then more 5 finger growing right above that, so do i chop right above last 5 finger internode like pic below? (its circled in red)


also is it a slanted cut or just straight across? and is it the main stem i cut? And do i leave like an inch of main stem sticking up or do i cut right above last set of leaves? THANKS just dont wanna mess up!

 

[Super Grower]

update coming soon!!! is it better to take pics when lights are off or on??? thanks! and does flash mess with the plants?

 

[NZjay]

i still think you should have gone back to veg, but now you are 2 weeks in flower?...
the longer you are in flower, the harder it is on the plant to go back into veg.

i certainly would not expect a dry ounce of that my man.

and NO, you putting a plant from flower - back into veg will not turn it male.

best of luck

 

[Super Grower]

thanks a lot NZjay, im just flowering it and will reveg just wanna see what kinda weed it is, its an unknown bagseed thats why and u think if i reveg it how long would it take for it to get big enough for about an ounce or more? its 3 ft right now.
