First 600 watt Grow

Alright it has been a little while now so time for an update!

It's 19 days into the 12/12 lighting. Pretty much all have shown signs of flowering, only 2 of the seeds ended up being male surprisingly.


So here is the whole tent as of today. Pretty cramped in there.




Trainwreck #1:

This trainwreck I FIM'd. Came out nice with 4 main colas and two smaller ones in the middle. Few days into flowering.


Trainwreck #2:

I topped this Trainwreck. Came out with 2 main colas and 4 smaller. Few days into flowering.


Trainwreck #3:

I failed at FIM this one, so it has 1 main cola and is pretty much unaltered. Few days into flowering.

Green Crack #1:

Topped and showing about 4 main colas. Few days into flowering.



Green Crack #2:

Failed FIM for this Green Crack so 1 main cola. This one grew one pollen sack along with pistils, I'm keeping my eye on it to see if it's a hermie. Few days into flowering.

The very last seed that sprouted around June 23rd. Just popped some pisitls yesterday, really curious to how something this young will turn out. It's in a 2 liter pot as well.

Sugar Kane:

It's doing much better than when I first got it. The buds on it look funny to me though, not really too many hairs on them like the others and the leaves are pretty wilted, but it's still holding up! About 1.5 weeks into flowering.




Illumanati OG:

Has been growing decently, not anything impressive. I chopped off the lower branches on this hoping to lollipop and get one good size bud from it.

White Fire OG #1:

The pot has been pretty heavy as if the soil is full of water, so I haven't watered in about a week. It's been doing better since then, but still not good as you can see. Thinking about trashing this one to make some more room if things don't change.




White Fire OG #2:


Hasn't grown much since I got it and seems like the same case as the other one. It's just sitting in the very corner of the tent, away from direct light. Kind of lost interest and hope in this one.

Girl Scout Cookies:

Bushed out really nicely with training using the tomatoe cage. Has a good amount of tops on it, about 1.5 weeks into flowering now.

So far I would say this is the winner in the group. The buds are covered in white hairs, huge leaves, and a handful of tops from LST. I took out the lower bud sites on this one. Really pleased so far, about 1.5 weeks into flowering.

Has been growing real nice since it's been switched to flowering. Was growing pretty slowly during veg, but now it is taking off nicely. I have't chopped a single leaf of this one nor any LST, I'm going to let it grow all natural.

Herojuana:

Growing pretty great, really strong during veg then seemed to be a little slower now a couple weeks into 12/12 lighting. I took off most of the lower branches and bud sites on this one along with LST.




LA Confidential:

Growning nicely, did LST on this one along with partially removing lower branches and bud sites. Forgot to take a bud shot on this one!




Sorry about all these posts, I don't know there would be a limit of only 5 pictures per post.

It's been a little while so time for another update! It's now day 27 of 12/12 light cycle and the plants have been growing very nicely. I think the stretch is pretty much done and now it's time for bud production.

Here is the whole tent:

I would post a lot more pictures but I keep getting error messages so I can't.

Sweet thanks for the advice. I'm new to this site so I haven't checked everything out yet, just using it mostly to record my grow and for any input.

Awesome, the clones I got already have pistils. The dispensary I got them from said count the flowering time from the light switch, but that is probably because they list flowering times on the diiferent strains anywhere from 9 to 11 weeks. I can see how this can be inconsistent though because an immature plant being switched to flowering probably won't show pistils as fast as a matured one. For my seeds though I'm going to take the flowering start as soon as they show their sex, hopefully soon! Thanks for your input!

Count flower time from when you switch lights. NOT when the first PREflowers occur. the pistils you witness in veg are pre-flowers and typically start to show after several weeks of vegatative growth. the 9-11 weeks is flower time after lights are switched. the variance is in part strain specific, but also due to environmental conditions and grower's preference.
-CO2 can speed up maturation in flower.
-and as for preference, I know folks growing for terpenes to blow bho are harvesting on the early side, where as those cbd lovers are pushing there plants as long as they can for higher cbd levels.

it does look good though! For your next run, with the 600 watt (which i love) I'd suggest losing the tomato cages and going with a horizontal trellis and scrogging. The tomato cages will hold up lanky branches, but with the light penetration of a 600, you'll get better, denser nugs if you focus on filling a solid canopy and less on hight. also, if I had those leds to play with in conjuction with the 600 wat, I'd concider throughing them up virtically allong the sides of the canopy.
Good luck, great job so far!
