here are some pics from my plants, here they have 3 weeks from seed.
from 1 to 5:
1-hash plant
2-liamba from angola(africa)
3-skunk
4-mexican sativa
5-mexican sativa

i already make one transplant to them all to large pots and plan to do one more, i use light soil without ferts. i just go start with ferts half strenght in week 4 or 5, i use fert with N-P-K 12-12-17 and with all micro nutrients. i have more updated pics i post next time.
and next month i go start with some new great genetics i brought from amsterdam. if you want ask something, just do it. i answer every question.

shakur · #2 (**permalink**) Dec-07-2007, 11:59

here some uptdate, now they have 1 month old from seed and i been thinking on make a transplant to bigger pots, here the last pics, i like to hear what you think!

shakur · #3 (**permalink**) Dec-07-2007, 12:24

here are the ladys( i hope them all turn female) from up, they have about 40-50 cm tall, what you people think?
i want to top them all, what is the best time?

klondike_bar · #4 (**permalink**) Dec-07-2007, 16:44

they look good, how old are they, cuz they may be stretched a bit at 40-50cm (1.5ft aprx.)

thanks, they are 1 month old and almost 1 week. maybe they stretch a bit, you can pass by here and see my grow log to the end(harvest), soon i put 2 great strains in my grow log, right now i cant decide i just now they gonna be one indica and one sativa/indica. updating soon.

klondike_bar · #6 (**permalink**) Dec-07-2007, 18:15

hm, should be perfect to flower now! what kind of lighting? your gonna need 12-16cfls or a 400w hps for all 5

Chronisseur · #7 (**permalink**) Dec-07-2007, 20:26

I would say the best time to top is between the 7-10th node IMO, depending on strain and headspace.

Chronisseur · #8 (**permalink**) Dec-07-2007, 20:39

Klondike; how bout you just DONT POST?

You probably dont wanna flower those yet. I'd pinch the tops, and let em veg out for about 2 more weeks. That is, if you want to crop more than the Klondike on his best run,...of powerplant,...in hydro,....with all the lights in the world and the best nutes money could buy

......lol......

Seriously dude, do you TRY to fuck up peeps grows?

If so, can I ask why? It's really quite frusterating to see you still havent got a clue. KNOW YOUR ROLE!....(maybe I should've left that one for FBR!) Just please quit openly displaying your ignorance, and I'm sure this site would a better place for all of us.

klondike_bar · #9 (**permalink**) Dec-07-2007, 22:36

it appears to be a 5 week-old, good hieght plant, so i see no reason not to flower anytime from now in. i dont think he HAS to, but its something id be preparing for if they were mine. (interpret what you want, my current crop is suffering nute problems and insufficient light in veg caused small plants)

My interpretation:
First of all, nutes dont have problems. GROWERS have problems nourishing. Second; insuffiect light does not cause small plants. (unless autoflowering strain involved)

klondike_bar · #11 (**permalink**) Dec-07-2007, 23:31

true, but low-quality solid nutrients are garbage.....never again for me.
second, insufficient lighting causes plants to stretch a lot (plus my preflowers came at 3 weeks veg, so i panicked and began flowering-yes it was stupid, but my other plant had never preflowered by almost 2 mos and 3ft of veg, so i figured they were flowering at the wrong lighting)

either way, we are way off topic, and i have my own threads on the overnuting where you can bash me if you feel inclined

**stinkyattic** · #12 (**permalink**) Dec-08-2007, 06:24

Welcome back, ceasarhorta... I knew that terra-cotta tile patio looked familiar. It's quite tasteful by the way.

The plants look SO much healthier this go-round. Good work. You DEFINITELY need to get them into larger pots.

They don't look quite ready to flower. It's a hard camera angle but I can't see evidence of sexual maturity.

If you pinch them you have to wait 2 weeks minimum before flowering.

Anyway, RE-POT!!! They are getting big!

Dude, man guy.....NOBODY WANTS TO BASH YOU!
We just dont wanna have to fix peoples grows after you lead them astray with shitty advice that you know nothing about. It's OK that you are not an expert, but dont try to sound like one, that's all. You are only doing a disservice by giving such advice.

thanks Chronisseur, its what i thinking, this should be almost the perfect time to top them.because they have 8 to 9th node and they start all to show pre-flowers.
p.s. but first i have to re-pot all, and then top the plants.

thanks stinky for your words, i go re-pot the plants to bigger pots and then top the babies and give 2 more weeks in veg, before start to force flower.thanks again for the tip. next time i take some zoom in pics. and i agree with you stinky about sexual maturity.

thanks twitch, next time i take some pics from side angles.
right now i use CFL for the seedling stage and for the vegetative stage then i put the plants outdoor to flower under the natural sun.

shakur · #19 (**permalink**) Dec-09-2007, 08:07

like i promise here are the pics of side angle, today i go re-pot the bigger ones, almost all the plants show growing shoots in the nodes, and they start to smell in vegetative stage.
i go to make a re-pot in the end of the day for the ladys have all night to recover from the shock of transplant.
I forgot to say they are in 18/6 light schedule.
P.S. i like to know what you people of the cannabis.com think about my new grow.

shakur · #20 (**permalink**) Dec-09-2007, 13:35

i just finish the re-pot of 3 girls and i be suprise with very much roots, and i damage 1 fan leaf of the liamba(Africa), this transplants just turn to be a little hard not to damage the roots ball but the roots are very healthy and with very good white colored. Tomorow i post some pics of the girls i transplant, right now i dont want to disturbe the plants recovery from the shock, they are in the dark room. next thing to do is top the girls, just give them 2 days to fully recover and new roots start to grow. keep looking for updating soon.

shakur · #21 (**permalink**) Dec-10-2007, 11:50

UPDATING. here they are after the re-pot. it looks they react very well, is the first 3 pics from left to right: liamba(Africa),hash plant and the skunk( not pure) i put some mexican sativa genetics in this skunk( i cross one mexican sativa female with one skunk nº1 male, she gift me with more than 100 very healthy seeds.now i cant wait to see and smoke the end result from this one).
the last 2 pics is the mexican sativa(Sensi Seeds) F2 generation seeds made by "me". again i cross one mexican male(F1 generation) with one mexican female(F1 generation) and give me more healthy seeds.
the last 2 plants i have to re-pot today or very soon. the first 3 plants i go top them maybe tomorow.
i love to know what you people think about my grow.

**stinkyattic** · #22 (**permalink**) Dec-10-2007, 12:19

They look REALLY healthy. You need more light if you want them to stay shorter and not as lanky.

Chronisseur · #23 (**permalink**) Dec-10-2007, 16:30

Lookin' good bro!

What I would do next time around, is bring those CFLs closer to the plant, as to reduce stretch. OR, like I did yesterday; pickup a few shoplights. I like them ALOT, mainly for the lack of heat. I've got 4 t-12 fixtures with 2 40watt cool white bulbs in each. The numbers just seem to workout PERFECTLY; 6 sq. feet is covered by 320 watts (25,600 lumens), giving me OVER 4,000 lumens per square foot, and I get to use em ALL, thanx to the low bulb temps! Another thing I like, is the clear bulb covers. I've been misting my veg. twice a day and I like to keep the moisture off of the bulb. It also makes it possible for the plant to TOUCH the bulb (casing) without any stress or burn.

So it sounds like you've got the topping down to a science, nice! All of that secondary growth will reach for the sky as soon as you pinch the top.

One other thing you want to do is drill a couple of extra holes on the sides of your pots, about 5-6 inches from the bottom.

Keep up the good work man

thank you stinky, yes i have to buy a couple more of CFLs and keep the next plants close as possible from the bulbs. the next month when i come back from dam marijuana disneyland with my new great strains(i decide to buy the white widow,papaya and hindu kush, i aceppt sugestions), now with my actual grow is more to see how the plants grow and they strecht a bit, but i go top the plants in the 10th node and see how the secondary growth grow and the stem and branches also get thicker, i think.

thanks chron, yes i go pinch the tops tomorow and see how the secondary growth "explode".
yes i have to drill a couple extra holes for sure, thanks for the tips,and good luck for your grows chronisseur. soon i post pics from the plants with the tops cut off.

Earthy Dank · #25 (**permalink**) Dec-13-2007, 21:12

Dude what kind of soil is that? it seems kinda muddy and doesn't look to have any perlite. Get some better soil and add a cup of perlite per gallon and you will se amazing growth. The roots can't breath in compacted soil... thats why hydro is so good the roots can breathe...
