Hey this is my first time posting on the website, and i just wanted to get a little feed back to what everyone thinks about how my grow is going. I am on day 20 since they popped out of the soil. I have 1 Pyramid Purple Auto which is the plant in the bottom right corner of the picture, and i have 5 Buddha Assorted Auto's in the other pots. The plant in the left bottom corner of the picture i caught my cats throwing around in the air right when it only had 2 leaves coming up, so that is why that one is stunted. The 3 plants in the bottom picture have started to show pistols within the last 3 days, and the Pyramid Purple Auto is weird because it also has ball sacks as well.... don't really know what that is about but we shall see. IMG_20140311_222552.jpgThey are currently under a 400w MH on 20/4, in 3 gallon Yield pots(fabric pots, cheaper then smart pots), with the bottom 3/4 soil a mix of TGA supersoil and base, and the top 1/4 is Roots Organics soil. Last night i picked up the Aurora Master Pack of Nutes, and i just picked up on the week 2 veg cycle of the feed chart. Seems to me that they really liked it. According to the directions for the nutes it says to give 5 ml's of each, but i only gave them half nutes on everything, and there was a lot of stuff that went into it, i think 8 things went into the water... Seems to do them just fine and they loved it, i will be raising it up to 3/4 of the recommended next feeding. also i have 2 exhale co2 bags and for flowering i will be using a 400+w Reflex bulb, but am currently unsure of when i should switch that in. According to the feeding schedule i still have 2 more weeks of veg nutes to give, and then 8 weeks of bloom, which i am kind of expecting to be finished up by May 15th. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
 
If you are certain your Pyramid Purple has ball sacks you need to isolate it from the rest of the room right now before those sacks burst and pollinate everything else. This is whats known as a hermaphrodite and it can be caused by either genetics or stress, but if you leave it, you will end up with a room full of seeds and not much usable yield.

Keep an eye on them,

might be a female yet. You still got a day or two I think. make sure they are pistils and not leaves. But the time is right for sexing.

Don't panic, your doin' great.

Peace

Well i looked in on them this morning and it seems to be looking the same, so i will be watching them closely, i have off tomorrow so i should be able to spot a difference if there are any... IMG_20140313_111152.jpg but i would say they look real healthy, and i plan on feeding them probably on saturday morning, i'll mix up the water tomorrow and let it sit overnight, they are starting to feel a little light. i did notice a couple of fruit flies in the tent today so i guess they like the nutes as well.... time to hang a couple of strips up to try and catch those little buggers before they multiply. anyone know of a home spray i could make with maybe some bleach and cinnamon or mint and cinnamon, just thinking what those fuckers don't like

So day 23 has come and I'm going to give them week 3 of the aurora master pack but only 3mls of each. Just mixed it up tonight and will be feeding them in the morning. Starting to see some preflowering from the pyramid purple. Decided I didn't want to take any chances with the balls so I removed just the balls, and everything seems to be fine!!!!

One last question when should I be thinking about switching the bulb to my hps? Going to be making a phone call tomorrow to inquire about a 42" tower fan on craigslist, thinking that should cover all the plants and the whole 2x4 tent without anything else.... Happy Growing

ok guys sorry for the delay on updates, but i got a little too medicated the other day, and miss placed my phone at a buddies house and left it there when he went out of town so i had no means of taking a photo.
So today is the start of day 38 (day 45 since germ) and the ladies are really starting to fill out. I have one that is really sluggish, and hasn't really started to go into preflower yet, but other then that one the other 5 are looking beautiful. Today was the first day i really could start to smell the Pyramid Purple Auto, and OMG it smells so delicious already. the smell hasn't started to overtake the room, but i'm sure given a week or 2 it will start to smell overwhelming. Over the last 2 days i have started to notice tricombes developing on the Pyramid Purple Auto. The leaves are very sativa like, and i love my sativa's so i can't wait for her to be ready. The other plants are starting to preflower very heavily and i am hoping to see tricomb development in the next couple of days. here are a couple of pictures of the ladies..... Grow For the Gold
