Well here is my test run. It is a mix of DR's and DR/RR's done with the DR's method. These are under 26wx4 till I get them sexed. I started these under 12/12 for the first week... bad math. Got them on 19/5. I'll put up pics every week so we can see what happens from here.

Nice dude, I would have had them under lights 24 hours a day in the first week, but they look good. I look forward to updates!

Yeah that's what I wanted to do... bad math.

Day 22 for most of the plants. Today 3/12 showed themselves to be females. No males yet... seems a bit odd. resin production has started. They already smell great. A few minutes with the cab open and the room is filled with the smell of Hell Yeah!

 

[vicious bee]

Excellent.

 

[MicroDude]

At day 26. I see 4 females and 1 male out of 12. Hopefully by next Friday I will be able to have just the girls left in the cab. I'm going to put the best male outside and collect some pollen.

Looks great man, good luck. Are these those high lumen bulbs you posted about? (I'm pretty sure it was you?)

 

[Seedling]

Looking good Micro, keep the updates coming. Looking forward to some sweet sweet bud porn! Good luck with the grow.

I am using 4x42w 2600 lumen 2700k bulbs. Home Depot style. I was looking into the smaller tube style bulbs. But not yet. I still got about 7 years left in these bulbs. heh

So far I have 5 females, 3 males, 1 herm, 3 undecided. A couple of my girls turned into bushes so I transplanted 2 of them so they could have a little more room to grow. The next day I noticed some rusting on my tall girl. I had already pruned everything off the bottom to see if it would produce as good as its sisters. Well It started getting rust spots and they got worse. Then I noticed it on 2 others. All three were in soda bottles. It looked like a cal def. So I have tried a foliar feeding of some dolomite. It doesnt look like it has gotten any worse over night at the spray... So hopefully that was it. I also moved another mini bush into one of my 4" pots. Also one of the undecided is really droopy and it showed the early signs of rusting. I think when I mixed the vermiculite in the bottle got too much. The plant looks really over watered. It's not Friday, but I have made some changes so here is a photo update. I see I forget to upload the mini bush porn... will have some on Friday. Cal def on pic 3 and 4? Too much water on pic 5? Feel free to tell me what you think!

So its Friday. I removed 8/12 plants that were in soda bottles. 3 of the keepers I moved into 4" square pots. The DR I cleared all the lower branches off of is the only dew survivor. Seemed like they hated the idea of bottles. So the cab is only about half full. Ill try and find some better pics next time.

 

[lowrydergrower]

wow everything seems to be coming along very nice keep it up.

 

[MicroDude]

Its going pretty good. I cant seem to get this problem fixed. Not sure what it is. My soil run off is a little low maybe the cal is getting locked out...

 

[BluestreakJon]

What kind of water you watering with? City or well... Those white spots on the leaves might be cause by hardwater (alot of minerals)

Other than that looking good.

 

[MicroDude]

I probably do have hard water, but the white spots I think you see are from a foliar feeding with dolomite lime. I will be trying some epsom salt tonight... Never needed to change anything before so it is a bit confusing. =[

 

[MicroDude]

Friday is here. They still look sick, but I hope the worst of it is over. 2 pics of each girl and a partial profile pic.

Day 48

 

[*mr.mike*]

Those pots look to be about two liters. I'd expect at least 16 to 18 inches for that... but everything looks good enough to not be disappointed, for sure.

 

[MicroDude]

The one I forgot to picture is about 16" tall no side branching in a 20oz mtn dew bottle. I clipped it all off at the start of the grow to see what it would do. =] these little bushes are going to do better in there 4" pots. But I lost weight for sure. =\
