12/12 from seed with CFLs

[PeeDee420]

Well finally I have decided to start my second grow! These are seeds from the only plant I have ever grown. Her name was oddly enough Adam lol. I had started 2 plants, Adam & Eve. Eve grew some big ole balls so I was left with Adam. The smoke from Adam was amazing and me and my wife called it Adam Bomb. We have a full mason jar left of her.

Since it was my first grow I stressed the hell out of Adam while she grew. So she grew a few balls that I never found but they did their job and she was then with child lol. So now I have a shit load of seeds from her that we have named Poodle Doodle. I know I know really gay name right? Well my wife likes to call me Poodle so just lay off! lol I read a few places that hermie plants give seeds that will probably be hermie, but I have also read that hermie plants that turned hermie from stress produce fem seeds. I hope the second one is right.

On 7/1 I put 8 Poodle Doodle seeds in wet paper towel and they are in our closet. I put a heater in there and they are at a comfortable 85 degrees. Now lets hope they sprout! Its good to be growing again.

On 7/4 6 of the 8 had germinated so I planted them in a mixture of 50% FFOF 25% vermiculite and 25% Miracle Grow perlite. Last night 3 of the six had broken the surface but hadn't shed the shell yet so no leaves. I'm hoping when I go home tonight I will have my first leaves.

ur good for N for a while. i hate that MG perlite that they have to add their chemicals to it, cant find anything but MG around here. but between the FFOF and the N in the perlite your good probably up til flowering. good luck!

I know what you mean about the miracle grow. I didnt want to use it but just like you they dont sell regular perlite here. My plan was to start adding nutes when they go into flower mode so I'm glad you suggested the same thing, it makes me more confident with my decision.

I will try to get pictures up tonight finally. The ladies poked their heads up yesterday morning so I set my lights to turn on at 8AM then left for work. When I got home I found that the circuit breaker had tripped so the lights never came on. The sprouts were all stretched out and none of them had any green or leaves showing. They looked really sad. I fixed the lights and decided to give them a few days of 24 hour light to perk them up. This morning all but 1 had nice bright leaves. I will probably switch them to 12/12 in the next day or two.

Ok so I promised pictures tonight finally lol. So i got 6/6 females! So it seems that by stressing my first plant I ever grew I turned her hermie thus she created fem seeds! That is awesome news cause now I have a couple hundred free fem seeds

Lastnight I transplanted them all into 1 gallon pots and there they will stay until harvest. I used a mixture of 70/30 Ocean Forrest/Light Warrior. I also did my first 90 degree bend on all of them to start my LST. I can't wait to see what they look like when I get home tonight.

One last thing, until now I have fed them nothing. However now that the hairs are starting to pop up all over I decided to start the molasses. I gave them a Tbl/gallon of distilled water lastnight after the transplant.

Pictures will come tonight!

So here are the pictures finally. They may look a little sad because I was doing some LST but trust me by tomorrow they will explode. I will try to get more pics tomorrow after they turn fully back up towards the lights.

Here are the gals! They are lookin amazing! I can't believe how good these plants look, I really hope I get an ounce per plant off these babies. I switched my lighting around and it looks much better now. I started feeding them a few days ago with the full fox farms line at 1/2 strength. I also started adding molasses at 1Tbl per gallon.

Now I have 12 43w daylight CFLs and 4 23w bright white CFLs. I read that if I add a few of the veg lights the end result would be more potent. I don't know if thats true but I figure more light can't hurt.

Looking pretty healthy PD

Looks like you should get some buds to smoke here, another month and a half you should be laughing

Good luck with teh rest of your grow

Nice. Do you know the watts per square foot?

 

[PeeDee420]

It's 67.6w/sq foot if I go by the entire closet floor space but the plants are in a container that is 2x3 so that would bring the total to 101.3w/sq foot.

[PeeDee420]

Thanks for all the encouragement! I will try to get pics of the grow closet tonight.

 

[PeeDee420]

The hairs on two of my plants are starting to turn pink. Now besides that being totally awesome lol, does that indicate anything? Like strain, potency, possible stress?

I tried to get pictures but I could not get close enough without making blurry pictures. And no my camera does not have a macro mode, its an old one.
