day 12
The first pic is the largest and oldest plant, then 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and a group photo. It seems like on at least one plant a day i see new leaves, not all of the plants are at the same stage but hopefully some will catch up by the time i move to flowering, i have no doubt they will.
It has almost been 2 weeks since theyve been planted so im sure the food supply from the soil is gradually getting used up and should be gone in the next 2 to 3 days..
Ive decided to wait for some of the plants to catch up before i transplant them because of the amount of lit space i have, how much does anyone think i should start feeding them? 2? 3? times a week?

They aren't going to need a transplant for a good solid week or 2. Try shuffling them around to give the stragglers more intense light position and catch up if that is important to you. But they look very healthy so word up homeslice.

Thanks stinky and cede, I have been putting the older ones on the outer limits of the light but im being a little selfish and keeping my nice younger ones close in, i think im doin my bro a favor growing his seeds out for him so no guilt felt lol.
Any opinions on the feeding? im new to this obviously so i don't want to muf it up

Alright i put one and a half tsp of ff grow big in the gallon of water that im using, i gave them a generous portion of water, probably the most water ive given them.
They look great tho and the leave just multiply and grow over and over, very fun yet tedious process to watch!
Pics will be up tonight
toke on

Here are some pics, i put the more mature plants to the outer edge of the light and the second picture (oldest) really shows nicely how the plant turns its leaves toward the light, incredible.
enjoy the pics and more will be coming tomorrow or friday.
dodo
also, the close up of the stem shows little developments, what exactly are those? is that where i should be looking for the pre-flower?

Little Tiny White Hairs
This is just my recent experience with indica afghani type plants. But usually the plants are much larger by the time they show the hairs, starting at 5 weeks from seed. I've not seen maturing plants that small. Is there a reason why they should be showing so soon? Are they clones or are they under 12-12 lights?

You know what shov, these plants are under 18/6 and were naturally germinated seeds, and the fact that you, Shovelhandle, dont know what going on kinda puts me in a blah mode lol.
I have no idea even what they are?!? if they are showing sex this soon i am in awe, ive never heard of it. but please let me know if hear or see anything that will help me out..
THANKS!
STINKY PLEASE CHECK THIS

no idea why the little white hairs are there, only strains that i know for a fact are growing are strawberry cough and crystal, and i dont know which ones they are at that! that are random strains in there as well but if they really are maturing rapidly maybe harvest wont be so far away...

those are some prime genetics, dodo. Early preflowers isn't a bad thing, I think

awesome, maybe ill need to do some research on cloning and try to grow a few out, if its female. If its a good looking male who knows, maybe i could try to collect some pollen and if in fact they are early pre-flowers maybe the genetics will be carried on into the cross.
Anythings possible eh? haha
Pics posted tonight. these plants grow like crazy! sooo much more development coming through, theyre staying nice and short for now, however i do have one plant, the oldest one, is quite a bit taller than the others and has narrower leaves, so im thinking it could be a sativa leaning strain. I hope so at least! i dont want a whole mess of couch lock ganja.
check back later, toke on.
Ohhhh and yes, my bro got sensi star and mighty mite, these are amazing nugs! ill try to post some pics it later

day 18
No ruderalis, the plants are looking great though and it seems that my plants are pulling further away from my brothers than i expected.
I think im going to give them another 2 weeks under 18/6 then slowly work them down to 12/12. I might go one week 16/8 then one more at 14/10, that will be about 6 and a half weeks in veg, then i will go 12/12 after that. I wont be surprised if they start showing sexes in the 14/10, at least i hope they do!
Enjoy the pics, you can compare the leaves and really be able to tell difference in strains. there are a lot in here!
I was also thinking about getting a 250 watt hps to stick in my closet for my favorite girl or 2 that i get, i think ill get a bigger yield out of the best ones if i put them under a bigger light during flowering. might be a good idea!

Hey dodo your plants are looking great.
If you're talking about the little split in the stem at the bottom I wouldn't worry, it's just the outer skin of the stem splitting due to the growth I think, it'll just gradually peel away to reveal the new skin beneath.
Keep up the good work!

smell
I checked on the plants and a few of the leaves look sparkly so i rubbed them gently in between my fingers and the smell was fine marijuana. Its hard to tell which plants are the same strain but the scent is definitely getting stronger and more distinct.
I thought i could smell strawberries slightly from the plant in that second picture...could be mental so im not going to get my hopes up.
Picture updates every 2 days for noticeable growth

Day 20
End of day 20, lights turned off while i was in the room, cool temps tonight...i wish i had started 2 or 3 months ago so i couldve had nice cool temps throughout the whole grow, but well see. I think im going to get a carbon filter with a nice powerful fan suckin air outta the room.
Do i need to have an intake fan also because the AC isnt always on? or do yo think itll get hotter during the summer w an intake?

Day 20 cont...
Well those of you that have been silently and verbally following along, you may notice the straggler is out of there...
My brother and i decided to make and experiment out of it and took it deep in the woods and planted it where there is moderate sunlight. I think well check up on it every 2 or three weeks and give it a good heavy FF feeding 
Here are some close ups of some of the more mature stems, one of them is quite a good pic i must say! the duet picture is of the two oldest plants, however the plant on the left is the oldest, it hasnt developed leaves by the stem like the others have. Im just guessing its the strain well have to wait and see if it takes longer to flower also!!
toke on and on...and on!

Burning
I have spotted some minor nute burn on some of the leaves, coulld be over fertilizing or just the fox farm...im not to worried about it im going to give them a little fresh water flush tomorrow.
Im leaving for a week, and my bro is going to do me a favor and look after them for a little bit...Im setting out a little over 2 and a half gallons of water to get impurities out and tomorrow before i leave im going to put some big bloom and grow big into the water, low dosage. He will be giving them one double shot of water every morning, im fairly comfortable with this, not an over abundant source of nutrients yet not too little, and still have some water everyday, but i think itll do the job for a week. Any objections?
One leaf on a plant in the pot with the two plants was too close to the light for too long and half of a leaf turned brown, not worried about it im sure itll still be just fine
Gettin ready for a night cap, toke on ill let you guys and gals kno of any updates as soon as i get em!
