Well im borred so i thought i would do an update. plants gotten about an inch taller and pistals are coming in nicely Finally a female! ahww.. took a few shots of what i see every morning when i turn on the box. plants starting to look sativa to me now but could be wrong. again this is bagseed purple strain. tasted like purple kush to me had the bag it was in looking like there was coke in it afterwards so man crystals. soo im hoping this is a High quality strain atleast whatever it may exactly be. anyways ramping on

Ive taken the desk lamp out for now its been getting to hot in there even when its 35 degrees out. plant seems to like it better but well see lately shes just been filling outward new branches and bud spots have been poping up like crazy. some chem burn still but shes pulling through and now that the buds will start coming in soon shes gonna start eating up alot more of those bloom ferts which should clean out my over ferting job once and for all, which ive been flushing alot.

she was underwatered for the first time in my growing exp. usually my plants are throwing up water. anyways heres some pics!

hey yah gg .... congrats on your grow man ....

something for you to concider is your growing in a coffee can .... usually this isnt good for roots and or your baby .... reason y is one the coffee can absorbs heat from your lights making it possable for your roots ta burn up from the heat under your lights ... though you may not feel it im sure the baby does ... and two the reflection on the bottom of the leaves from light shining up from the silver lips of the can will make thats thing stretch like no tomorrow .. just something for yah ta think about .... though in my grow i did the same thing i noticed that the can in my grow was inhibbiting my plant from growing and was starting to collect rust in the bottom of the can ....If anything transplant to a plastic potter or a plastic container that isnt transparent ... Im sure that your baby will appreciate it and show yah the love ...

Some green mojo for your grow ... :watchplant:

Hey thanks for stoping by Chuck Soil temp stays the same as my last plant that was in plastic bucket , ive got the inside of it lined with thick plastic sheeting. and it grows noticably every day i dont really have the option to transplant it now its in flowering and would cause far to much stress trying to get it out of the metal can. its actually a giant bean can that has metal sealer to prevent rust on the inside of it to keep food fresh. unlike coffee cans which use a chemical preservative and will rust ( i read the label ) plus ive seen MJ plants grow out of green bean cans that are twice as big as my plant lol Theres alot of concerns out there but when it rly comes down to it you gotta work with what you got on hand..

Bent526 · Jan 23, 2008

Does she smell? I'm a total noob, and I'm wondering when the plants really start to smell.

Thanks!

sportcardiva · Jan 23, 2008

Thanks!

if you put your nose pretty much on the very top of the plant it has a faint pine/skunk smell to it but not strong enough to smell other wise. once it gets semi mature buds on it i will have to invest in some air filters and odor control.

THE BROTHER'S GRUNT · Jan 23, 2008

Everything is coming right along and looking great GG. Keep it up and you'll be smoking some dank bud before ya know it my friend.

Ganja_Greg · Jan 25, 2008

Just stoping in, plants doing great gets bigger every day lots of new branches on exisisting branches and fan leaves on new branches are getting quite big almost half the size of large fans. i almost am starting to notice quite a bit of alternating nodes , especially at the very top of the plant and on new branches. probably do a pic update tomorrow might even have me a wiseman lookin plant =P

Anyone guesstimate on a plant thats been 12/12 light cycle since seed and with 9,500 lumens of CFL's how long sativa's can take to get to harvest? its at like 45-46 days now. Thanks again

GG

akirahz · Jan 25, 2008

well some can take 12 weeks, thats what 84 days? .. but most take about 9-10 i think 63-70

do you have pre-flowers yet? are you aware that it is a female then? hope this helps
