1st time grow|Northern Lights|Bubblegum|Big Bud|Afghan

I have grown in clear containers without any problems. If it bothers you you can always get some black spray paint and paint them next time.The bags will work fine but I don't like them very much. I like something a little more sturdy.

Thanks TD.

Yeah, I might not like the 'unsturdiness' either...

Day 3 Flowering (We are in the flip)

Day 3 Flowering (We are in the flip)

Hello all,

Forgive me...it has been 8 days since my last confession.

So- we are in the flip. We vegged 6 weeks. I have 4 obvious females, and 4 almost as obvious males. The males are lined up and ready to be killed at the first sign of flowering.

I have a few clones but I don't think I can be bothered with them right now. Think I'm going to kill them tomorrow at sun up. I want only my SPGBX sprouts to deal with.

Some pictures of the flowering peeps.... worked on light leaks for a week-pretty sure we are good. Sun up is around 11:45 pm, sundown is 11:45 am. This should keep my temps nice and easy.

This is Bubblegum#2 and the Afghan. Afghan is so strange looking. Dense growth on top where I topped it:



Big Bud #1 and Big Bud #3. Both have been topped and have 4 tops now:



All 4 females from the other side. I added 3 2700k bulbs as side lighting:



The males. They are not confirmed yet but...nice looking group. A shame I plan to kill them. Left to right it is Northern Lights, Big Bud#2, Big Bud#4, and Bubblegum#1:



And this is BubbleGum#2 again, same day as the above shot. After much deliberation I decided to pull a couple fan leaves that were directly covering all this new undergrowth:



Much love,
GP

Well done so far GP :tiphat: For a 1st grow your plants are looking remarkably happy.

I like how you have caught the bug already - I just read the whole thread from the start and it's cool to see how much you are progressing.

Peace

Day 16 - Flower

Day 16 - Flower

Well, helloooo-

Long time-no talk.

We are on Day 16. I brutally chopped the 4 males and they are hanging in my closet destined for canna butter.

The 4 females remain with no signs of boy parts. Just working on keeping the canopy as even as possible. They are drinking a little over a quart of water a piece every other day. That seems to be keeping them happy. Any more or less and they get a little droopy. I fill a gallon jug with water, and I am up to 4 teaspoons of FlouroGro Bloom. Then I just split that between them.

Herr is a group shot. Left to right we have: The Afghan, BubbleGum, Big Bud, and Big Bud. I topped the Afghan and the two Big Buds and so we now have 4 tops. I did not top the BubbleGum-kind of wish I did. So there is one main cola going crazy on the BubbleGum...



Here is a close up of one of the Afghan tops:



Here is a close up of one of the Big Bud tops:



Here are two close ups of the BubbleGum main cola:



I have a scope on the way and I am hoping I can use it with my camera to get you guys some better shots. It is also difficult to get up under the canopy for a good aerial shot with the T5 fixture.

The Pistils are going crazy and over the last two days I moved the lights up a total of 6 inches. I wish I could afford to get some 3000k T5's but right now I am just supplementing with 4 x 23 watt 3000k cfl's. So they have 416 watts total beaming down on them. Better than nothin'!!

Hope you all are doing well...

Week 5 Flower

Week 5 Flower

Hi all!

Sorry for the delay-I have missed you. Things have been crazy busy on the homefront. But, on to the show...

It's week 5 and I am frickin' drooling. It's starting to look downright dank in the flower shed, and me with only a seedy gram given to me since, like, June! I am sitting on my hands.

So, all are doing well. The slow to keep up Afghan ended up having dense growth just before flower and I am definitely seeing that in the bud development. Slow to get going, but nice, dense buds developing.

The bubblegum smells so good I just want to snap a stalk off with my teeth and run into fields of rainbows and unicorns. Looking really good. Pistils look really yellow.

The two bigs buds are looking frosty as f**ck! I have been looking at the trichomes of all the plants and for the most part we are still crystal clear.

Here are some shots~

The whole crew:

OKD, Nkots(rabbit), dabsnob, LTTG, Twist1-all you guys (and the lady), thanks for hanging in with me-I hope the bud porn gets truly offensive!!!

:laughing:

P.S. Jhene Aiko's 3:16 am is such a rad track.
