After 7 days of 12/12 my plants are still stretching but they appear to be slowing down. I removed males including 2 of 2 White Widow, 1 of 3 Vortex, and 1 of 4 bagseed. I trashed the WW because other than hearty growth these plants didn't show me much promise. At this point there are 4 girls in the tent: 1 BLTxBW clone, 2 Vortex, and 1 bagseed. Two of the remaining bagseed still haven't shown their sex yet but they are looking like males. So I may only flower four plants this grow, which is fine because it's a nice variety and they'll have plenty of room. I'm so happy #1 Vortex is a girl, because her roots mostly fill her 5-gal bucket, her stem is already sticky and she has flower sites showing up everywhere. I added another airstone to each of the Vortex buckets because their roots are so massive. I'm going to try to keep the Vortex male and one or two bagseed males for some pollen chucking and it'll be interesting to see if they can survive the transfer from hydroponics to soil. I dumped out the clay pellets, cut away the plastic basket to expose the roots, which I trimmed back with a scissor. I then transplanted it into fresh, dry potting mix, flooded it with water, flushed with a diluted nute solution, and set it inside next to a south-facing window. My non-grower friend has agreed to look after a few male plants on my behalf. Hopefully these male plants will survive the transfer and go back to veg, eventually outside this summer, and yield pollen. Unfortunately, that'll be too late to make F1s of the bagseed. I rearranged the tent and removed a lot of lower growth and fan leaves that were blocking light from bud sites. I'll do some training with the girls next week. Nutes are good and pH has been relatively stable. Hopefully warm weather arrives soon and the plants won't get blasted with cold basement air every time I work in the tent.

@OldCoolSativa, I am by no means a pro, but I usually start lst week 3,4, maybe 5, so by flower stretch her branching is already moved and stable in the new way I have it growing. I would say just get in there!! You never know till you do, but it's a lot harder when she starts getting woody. Stresses em more I think. Your gonna love it!!

@HydroKitty, I've already done a little defol but should probably do some more this week. The internode spacing is small enough that I don't think I need much LST yet. But since I've never done LST before, I could be wrong. 😊 Thanks for stopping by.

Ideal day temp is 25C and the bigger they get the less humidity they like - the difference between the day and night temperatures will affect the distance between the nodes - all look nice and green πŸ‘

Nice grow Bro. Regarding ur week 5 update, I bought my whole setup from kingbriteled, you shouldn't have any problem with them. If you use 2 different fixture for veg and flo why didn't u choose 4000k and 2700k? Just curious.I stopped at cobs' basics but will research some info about adding 730nm diodes, maybe I'll add some for the next grow. Keep us update man!

@Nutria, Far red only runs 20 minutes per day. Flower schedule is for COBS only.

@OldCoolSativa, same timing I saw on rollitup.org. By 13.5 you mean both cob+red or 12cob and 1.5red?
OldCoolSativa

@Nutria, I just looked on Ebay for 730nm and found a USA seller. Specs are 3W 20mm Star LED, 720-730nm, 1.5V - 1.7V, 600 mA - 700 mA, 40 LM, 120 degree viewing angle. I'm going to run them in a single 3-ft strip in the middle of my tent between my two lights. I plan to turn them on 5 minutes before lights out and turn them off 15 minutes after lights out. This should allow me to use more light during the flower cycle. I plan to go 600W 12/12 for the first week of flower or until the girls reveal themselves. Then I'll ramp up to 13.5/10.5 for most of the flowering period, then back it down to 12/12 for the last week or two to finish them off.

Hope you have a strong fan for room circulation because that could be another factor why they look squishy.Waiting anxiously for new updates.PEACE. :)

@@Kkkkkk, thanks for the heads up. I have a couple circulation fans in there and all the plants leaves move around in the breeze a bit so I think ventilation is OK for now.

I have a similar problem. I am on week 6. A bit slow for sure in the beginning. Temps are usually above 26 and up to 32 someone time. But my plants are stubby and wide. But since this is my first grow, I thought maybe it has to do with the strain? Can someone with experience check out my grow? thanks man.

Your guy is right. The temp is way to low! You need constant 25 grad celsius. And your air humandity was to low, thats why you leafs looking squishy. But at all it looks very good. Wish you much luck and awaiting interessted what you get out. ;) Keep on. ;)

Very cool broπŸ‘πŸ» If you cross with a auto, are the results auto seeds? And are most of the seeds viable?

Where did you saving 10 years old seeds? How did you germinate them?

@OldCoolSativa, you lucky bastard. πŸ˜ƒ Mine are 1 year old and don't want germinate.

@KonopCh, I found them in bags of weed from a Deadhead friend, reportedly grown in Western Massachusetts. They germinated easily...hardly any duds. I germinated them in Rapid Rooters.

How's the humidity ?
BigDaddyK
BigDaddyK
@OldCoolSativa,big grows generate a lot of moisture , filter out into the fresh air if you can, I have a fresh air in as well to keep it flowing πŸ’¨
OldCoolSativa
OldCoolSativa
@BigDaddyK, good question. It has been pretty high, like upwards of 80% at the end of the day. Condensation on tent walls, etc. Today I finally set up a blower and charcoal filter and humidity is down around 60%. Running a dehumidifer in the basement to help keep things under control.

hey man nice grow. i tried a bagseed in my grow, it's in my current journal. it was a herm :(glad you got away with it. this is twice i had bag seed herms so be careful using bagseed in with real genetics. i don't think my other girls were effected and i got some wax off the 4-5week old herm so not the end of the world. nice job though keep growin'
