plants are looking good - lots of bottom side branches - they'll train nicely especially if you bend the main stem horizontal and let the side branches catch up - they also appear to have come out of the funk they were in which is good. I like what you have done with the reflective material on top of the soil to keep the containers cooler.

pothead- :joint: damn right man!

sugabear- thanks man! they do seem to be doing much better! i may train them a little just so the bottom does catch up a bit, but im mostly going to be fimming and supercropping. that stuff on top of the pots is just cardboard with aluminum tape over it, it also helps with keeping the soil moist since my humidity is so low.

so, i may be paranoid, its really hard to tell right now, but i think i have a male. theres a really small nub right now so i cant really tell. ill update that in a few days.

Peace!

update, 12/20/07 found this guy in my box... sounds dirty, but look.








its hard to see in the pics but it grew some nuts. down to 1 for now...

Budluver- definitely looking forward to it!


little update for ya. i transplanted the plant into a 1 gallon pot 2 days ago, it was beginning to get root bound already. so after 2 days heres some pics, the plant looks like it has grown like an inch or more in 2 or 3 days! i also have changed the light cycle down to 18/6.

thanks zappa!

Alright all,
got my flower box up and running today. i will be using my bureau for seedlings and mothers soon... but for now heres the new set up! the flowering chamber's dimensions are 48"h x 16.25"d x 38"w.



outside.




the back.. the pvc intake baffles are a little ghetto but its cool.







the guts of the operation... i keep a fan blowing on the ballast and the 12v plug so they stay cool, i had issues before with the plug crapping out if it got too hot... problem solved!







business.



ITS A GIRL!!

i was gonna go into detail about how i made it.... but its self explanatory... i stuck a shelf in the top for the power and exhaust. made some holes in some places and covered light leaks up. then i got baked and dont wanna type... hahaha!!! :joint:

Peace!!!

Nice cab St: She looks happy in there. Congrats on the fem. Is she in flower yet? Be sure to take a clone after about 3 weeks in flower. If you love the smoke, you'll want to reveg her.

thanks kid! she is definitely bushing out pretty well. i "supercropped" the main stem and also a few side branches so they would reach the light better. she really didnt react to the fimming that i did like 2 weeks ago at all. just kept on growing straight up. she does love the larger pot too, grew lots of side branches and vertical growth over the last week.

vintner- thanks bro, she is not in flower just yet, im still waiting on some other beans so i dont want to start flowering it until i have my other seeds started in the other cab. and i definitely plan on taking some cuts from her soon!

Peace!

HerbGlaze- word, word, word, word, and word!!!!!!!

Pipedream- Thanks Brother!

Misses- Thanks man! keep me posted!

Update time.


so i switched to 12/12 last night!!! heres some updated pics of the new box, i really only added the light sockets on the ceiling but shes bushed out some more too.....

heres a few of the cab.. i put a y connector in the one socket with 2 bulbs because it seemed like a waste of space/electricity to keep em so far away since my plant is still small. ill probably have to change that when she gets a little bigger.









the old lady...













getting super bushy and theres tons of undergrowth! the side branches are really starting to shoot out now too. i have put 2 bends in it on the main shoot to keep it from taking off too much and allowing the side shoots to catch up..

well, thats it for now!!!

Peace!

Oh yeah, GO PATS!!!
