Thanks. I forsee myself having a hard time getting around the tent. I have netting and 20 yo-yos, gonna install netting when I see the sex of my final 4 non showing plants. I was planning on only having 8 or so females so if there's more I'm gonna have to figure something out. I guess it's one of those good problems lol.

My soil is ph 7.0, should I try to lower it or is 7 ok?

Scrog eh? I made one once out of bamboo steaks but I had a 3x3 tent with 4 photos it worked well till our dog got ahold of it I stored it under a bed he was a young pup crawled under there and chewed it all loose from bindings. Not tried one since. But you may need yours big time. Looking forward to the grow and hang in there.

December 15th. 9 verified females and two with the tiniest pre flowers with no hairs, I think they are Male. A few days and I'll know for sure.

 

[FunkyButtLovin]

They're looking very nice. You're doing great, keep it up.

Dec 18. All 11 plants are female. I need to play the lottery. Out of 12 bag seeds 11 sprouted and all 11 are ladies.

A garden of Weedon, you'll be a busy one they look great. Good luck!

Wow , I would absolutely go buy a lottery ticket. That is going be a forest. Good Growing !!

I am stoked and worried at the same time, I'm already having trouble getting around to water and tuck leaves. I defoliated today, minimally. Just a few of the original fan leaves because all the plants are all so dense. I have scrog netting but I dont think its gonna be possible. I have 20 yo-yos and have ordered 20 more just to be safe. This is my first semi serious indoor grow.

Dec 20. My first little pencil eraser buds. I dont have kids but I imagine the feeling I get when I look at my tent is similar to that of a proud father lol.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Hey Pop's get ready to discipline those kids may have to tie them down for a few months LOL don't tell your friends

 

[StillHigh1982]

Haha. I just got a bunch of pipe cleaners today. They are going wild in there. I have two more "1200 watt equivalent" leds, I'm gonna see if I can get away with another one in there today. There's 4 of them running now.

Dec 24th. 16 days into flower. I added more lights and have turned my 6" vivisun exhaust up to full blast. So far so good. Been two days and the high temp is 78 and the low is 66. No signs of light stress so far either. Now I have 6 "1200w equivalent" LEDs. 4 bestva and 2 off brands that i picked up on the cheap. I'm venting down the hall and using the hot air to heat the other bedrooms at night lol.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Heck yes I would do the same venting the hot air. And the space between pots looks great for air flow, all looks good keep it up.

First I want to thank everyone for their likes/comments/info and interest. You guys are an invaluable resource. These are the babies 3 weeks into flower. I have given up on scrog. Just too much going on for my noob ass.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Well I have some experience with scrog did it a couple times but could not imagine doing that amount under a net. Most I had I think was 3 photos. Anyhow I think you made the easy choice now you can move them around and fix or trim issues easier. Man that's really going for it what your doing I admire your spirt just keep up the vigilant watchful care. We are rooting for you.

 

[StillHigh1982]

Thanks budgal, I actually just installed the net over the 5 tallest plants to spread em out more. Not exactly scrog but its gonna do the job. This is day 22 of flower. They are stinky and getting frosty. Here's a pic of the new layout. It was tedious getting the net arranged without disturbing the buds too much.

 

[StillHigh1982]

Day 25 of flower. I found 3 hermie plants yesterday, roughly 10 spots between the three. I used a scalpel and a shop vac to remove the offensive growth. Where there were true male flowers I just removed the flower and the buds with bananas in them were totally removed. I have tons of ventilation and the hermie plants were luckily downwind from my five favorites. I'm optimistic in hoping for minimal pollination. Other than that they look great, getting more frosty by the day. And the smell is excellent, they are bag seed so I have no clue what most are but they all smell different, I love it.

StillHigh1982 Great Job, SH! Your plants look very Nice! You sure aren't lacking in the Light Department - LOL Your gonna be a busy beaver come Harvest/Trim time. (We started 12x12 about the same time - I flipped mine on Dec 9th.) You make me feel like a Slacker with all those beautiful plants :fear: I only have a White Widow and a Pineapple Kush. The buds are fattening up nicely! Will take some pics soon. And I'll be watching your grow closely! Good Luck - looks like you've got everything well under control!
