Hey all...a quick update...Here are some pics I took yesterday...Nute def. in some of the weaker plants. I am gonna change my nutes to EJ, and that should fix the problem. Wadda u all think????

Your plants are looking good. I got some BMR that are purpling up also. :D

I would say thats a ph problem. Youre using Pro Mix as your medium right? Have you checked the ph recently? ProMix IME tends to cause ph drifts and should be monitered as closely if not more closely than soil. Also EJ can throw the ph out of range so be careful with the feedings. :canabis:

Thanks for the kind words Indo... How many BMR do you have goin right now, and what kind of phenos do u have??? I popped 11 beans, and I seem to have a number of diff. phenos goin on. At least 4 of them are purpling, short, tight nodes and bushy growth.I have one sativa looking pheno, almost a runt, but nice thin leaves and some purple too. Afew Im gonna get rid of soon, cause they are a little mutated, but the rest seem like keepers. I hope one of the purp ones is a nice femme so I can turn her into a momma and keep this shit in my garden for a LONG time. I love BMR. Def one of my fave strains that Ive smoked...and grown. Is this ur 1st run w/ them Indo???

I only have 3 seedlings of BMR going right now. 1 of them has the purpling and is the only one of my seedlings thats showing purple.
They are only a week into veg so I dont know which phenos but my friend has grown BMR and hasnt found an unworthy pheno... so well see. I also have some BOG Grape Punch at the same age. Havent heard or seen much on the GP but it sounds interesting.

A little update for all interested...In regards to the nute problem, I fed yesterday with fish emulsion and Mor Bloom, and the plants did a complete 360 overnight, and today they look amazing!!!!They all grew about 2 inches overnight, and all of them have bushed out more and perked the fuck up. I am so glad...I always get a little down when my plants aren't 100% healthy. So I feel much better today, and can wait the few more days for new nutes and grow bags for the transplant...I'll have pics later today!!! Peace.

By the way, in case anyone's interested, I was gonna get a 400w hps, but Ive decided to go all CFL's on this grow. I have 6 lights right now...213 watts total, and Im gonna add another 250 watts approx.. I really like the way they grow under the cfl's, short, stocky and bushy. nice tight nodes too. Once I sex these babies, I'll transplant, take clones for the next round, and flower all the femmes. I'll prolly turn 1 clone from each strain into a Momma...

CFLs are great for veg. But flower? I dunno. They would need to stay short, all depends on how much bud you want. They look great though.

Z looking good bro, I have 4 female blue mystics and 4 ak-48 going now myself had nl also but only one and turned out to be a male (which i had a hard time killing realy wanted to make some seeds with the bm x nl ) but didnt have room for something like that at this time . cfl work just fine if thats what your budget can offered . the way i look at it some self grown is much more appreciated then bought smoke IMHO.
keep it growing green!!!

Thanks for the kind words all.
Aeric - I myself have never floered under CFL's, but my girlfriend did with her last grow, and I have to say, the buds were impressive. Very potent, sticky and prety good yield cosidering. I have added more watts for this grow, so the results should be even better... Ive seen some impressive CFL grows here that inspired me to go this way. By the time I go into 12/12, they will be under almost 500 watts of cfl's, thats alot of light for my small closet, so Im thinkin a good yield and harvest is in my future....

UPDATE...we have females!!!

UPDATE...we have females!!!

well, I checked yesterday, and so far, Ive got 3 confirmed females!!! Yea!! Still got alot more to show, but they should be showin any day now. Depending on my female/male ratio, I may have too many plants for my space, but we'll see...almost 1/2 of the BMR are starting to really purple up, so Im lookin forward to seeing what they have to offer...They get a transplant in a few days, then on to 12/12 and clones galore!!! Peace all, and stay warm!!! :joint: :wave: :moon:

Update...Transplant shots!!

Update...Transplant shots!!

Hello again all..hop you are all well. We are just tryin to stay warm here, with the wind chill bein' - 50 and the high is 5...but the grow is coming along nicely. I added some more wattage today of cfl's, so the babies should like that. They all but 5 got transplanted yesterday into 2 gallon pots with fresh Pro-Mix and just a fresh water feeding. I'll give them some nutes in a few days when they dry out, but for now they seem pretty happy. I figured out that Ive got 303watts of cfl's goin right now. In incandescent watts, thats over 1,000watts!!! I dont know how many lumens they each put out, but its a lot of light for my closet. I'm gonna have some nice buds I hope...So the pics are of the new pots, etc...I know the closet looks really tight right now, but once I get rid of the males, I'll have alot more space, unless I get alot of females!!! Anyhow, thanks for all stoppin by, I know they arent very exciting to you guys in veg, but I'll be flowering and taking clones really soon. They are at day 36 of veg right now, I think I'll go 1 more week, then flip to 12/12. They seem ready to start flowering, what do you guys think?? Any opinions are welcome...Peace.. :joint: :wave:

They look good and I know its frustrating when no one responds.Putting up a decent grow report takes a lot of work.Like you said you have to want to do it for yourself.I have a grow report going on another site.Over 600 people have looked at it but only limited replies.Your plants look good but i have to agree with the guy awhile back about your ph.I think its still alittle out of whack.The ferts will help temporarily look better but I think your plants would really benefit from a couple of epsom salt waterings.One tablespoon epsom salt to one gallon of 6.5 ph water.I'll be watching..best budluver

Thanks for stoppin by BudLuver...and thanks for the PH advice...Im gonna get some Cal-Mag and epsom salts this week for their next feeding, along with some EJ ferts...Yes, its very frustrating when noone responds to the thread. It seems my little thread ain't good enuf for the serious growers out there, the ones I actually want the advice from!!!So, I'll keep posting and hopefully when they start flowering, people will become more interested...Peace bro'...

Zeus...... Hey what's up... nice little cfl run you have going here.... I too run all my veg under cfl... put the old 400 mh to rest.... I do like cfl being they run waaaay cooler and it seems to take a-lot less power/watts to get the same growth... I use roughly 200+- cfl for veg... Can't wait to see how the AK-48 turn out... I too am running them along side nirvana ICE.... good luck and peace....

thanks berry...I grew Nirvana's ICE my 1st grow. They stretched like a mofo in flower, but the buds were the size of my arm!!! It would of been some great smoke, had I not dried it in a dehydrator, never make that mistake again!!! Thanks for the kind words, and keep checkin in. I just put them all in darkness for 48hrs, then I'll put them on 12/12...so should get very exciting real soon here...can't wait. Peace out...

Update...crazy male/female ratio!!!!!

Update...crazy male/female ratio!!!!!

Well, its day 2 of 12/12, and just about all my girls!!! are showing sex. I seem to have lucked out on this grow, cause from what I can tell, out of 21 plants, I've got somewhere around 16 or 17 females!!! Alittle more than I was expecting, and a little too many for my wattage...so, I dont know what to do. If I flower them all out, my yeild will suffer IMO. I dont wanna kill any of them, cause they are all so nice and uniform. We'll see, I guess I could have bigger prob.'s, HUH??!!Anyhow, they've all started the sstrreettchhh, and they are lookin good IMHO. I seem to have a zinc def. in one of them, but my new ferts should take care of that next watering. I also picked up some Epsom salts, I'll see how they like 'em...On to the pics.....
