Looking great dude. Man those things are bushing on out.

I dig the side lights. Whatever works for you man. I have a much smaller box than your tent, but I am pulling through my filter too and keeping my fan and all on the outside. I have seen it done successfully and I am having no issues. With a tent and/or more space I would keep it on the inside, but that's just me. It cuts down on the fan noise when it's in the tent too.

You can go ahead and order the 2700K if that was the plan. Are you keeping both or just switching the bulb?
Yellow tip looks like Ph fluctuation. It happens and that one got down a little low. You're letting them dry out pretty good between waterings right?

yup they get dry pretty quick about every 3rd or 4th day. I am out of town again for most of the week, I sure hope wife has been paying attention LOL. I am going to try blowing the air into the filter for a few days if it does not work I will change it back. She said room was warm and temp in tent was 84 but it was kind of warm around here today so she turned heat off and opened all the windows EXCEPT IN THE GUEST ROOM dang it. According to Life-cycle of Autos, shouldn't I see me something like flowers soon. They are 41 days old 6 going on 7 weeks. I guess we will see how stunted they really were huh. Thanks for hanging with me. We will get there I hope maybe I could give them some nutes huh ?
I will order the 2700k when I get back home. Is it better to have all the same light at once or mix and match you think ?

I prefer mixed spectrum. I have not personally don't a whole ton of testing, but from everything I have read and tried. Mixed is the way to go. I just roll back and forth on my ratio.

Example: You have a 4 light cfl setup. For the first 3-5 weeks I would use 3 6500K and 1 2700K bulb. Then in flower switch to 1 6500K and 3 2700K. See what I mean? Just how I do it.
84 is fine as long as it didn't stay there for long. Don't sweat her out over it, then she won't like it and that's not good for you.

At this point you should at least be seeing preflowers. I always forget...they're Northern Lights and they're fem beans right? Hmmm..
And how long have they been in the Ocean Forest?
Take care and have a good day. I'll try and get back with you during the day, if not it'll be tonight. :smokebuds:

I'm dying here, stuck in swampmans part of the woods. New Orleans and Mardi gras is going on. And all I do is work. I miss my girls. I will add some 2700 on them when I get home tomorrow. it was approx day 24 they got put in pots and now they are 44 days so approx 3 weeks in OF. I will update when I get home. I just wanted to let you know I was still around, just out of pocket this past week.

 

[The Squid]

Hey dude. Having any fun at all? I'm sure the girls are fine and growing along fine. Any updates from the missus?
3 weeks in. You could give light veg nute feed I think. Don't wanna over do it. Take care until next time.

Back from the Big Easy

Hey Squid is there a category for longest grow and no flowers or white dewy looking stuff or buds or color or anything but just leafs. if so I win. If my counting is right this is day 45 since they popped there lil heads up and this is what they look like at a glance side by side. :hot::hot::hot: well I want to put just a pic or two here JPG JPG

and then tell you to look at these spots
(a couple more JPG JPG JPG)

and then ask about the new growth here on these pics
(JPG JPG JPG)

but damn if I can figure out how to do that. so I hope you can put the pieces together from the group shot of pics i will insert. I will figure it out soon and that way it will be easier for you to see exactly what pics I am talking about. but the beige pot is looking a lot better I don't really see anything wrong with it except no buds yet LOL. The Pink pot is also looking OK to me but it does have these very few spots on just a couple leaves. I don't know if you can see but also in the pink pot some of the leaves seem to have a darker shade to them I don't know if they are supposed to be that way or not ?
but even with the slow start do you think I should be seeing any flowers or something ? and then again I only added a lil bit of the Big Bloom on day 33 and they have been strictly 6500k lights 18/6. I will get run off levels Sunday when I water them next, to make it easy on the wife she did water them with some plain bottle water while I was in New Orleans, not bubbled and she said it was 6.8 pH. I told her THANKS :thumbs: and yes they were Northern Lights Fem, Auto's from Nirvana. I have 3 seeds left. Tell me what you think brudda.

Um my cream caramel auto took 64 days to show flowers. Some just ain't in no hurry.

 

[Bromeo]

Oh yea I also just remembered being just as pissed as you are. It will get there.:thumbs:

 

[wileywilly53]

well I don't feel so bad then THANKS, I guess they are still green and they are still getting bigger so I should just quit bitchin and watch them grow. According to what I read I want to wait until they slow or stop growing up before I try to put them in flower anyway huh ?

flip to 12/12 until she shows flowers, then flip back. why not grow a photo if you're gonna wait 64 days? I'd never wait 64 days for an auto to show sex, I'd force it long before then.
