Some green mojo your way! My first grow is 3 weeks flower and I def plan to train next time. Will be watching how yours goes. Lookin' good.

What did you use to tie them down? Speaker wire :holysheep: ???

hey to answer your question na it's not speaker wire it's called Vinyl Coated wire i picked it up at walmart in the hardware section it was a 50ft roll for $4. and works great.

But good news i have some preflowers on one of my ladies.woot wooot. Its nice to see that some of my work is going to pay off being a first timer and all So im going to be veggin for another week then start to flower let me know what you think.

looking good! i never get tired of seeing the new sets of leaves emerge out of nowhere day after day during veg....

but seeing the pistils develop is a whole new ballgame, which i'm sure you will enjoy!!

good luck to ya, i'll have my fingers crossed for them to be female.

ok so when i woke up this morn i always check my plant and the height of the lights and i didn't like an *** this morn and when i came home my one plant grew to the light and burnt a couple of leave what should i do? just cut them of or leave them?

 

[the chef]

I say leave em, just my opinion, get more before you decide. One thing i noticed with my first grow is once i started messing with trimming certain leaves bud production seemed to almost halt, if your gonna do it try it with one leaf and wait around a week to see if affects your lady. Gl and green mojo prayers go to your burnt ones.

pre-flowers...oooohhh, got mine on lady blue and she's a sshhtinkin! How tall she getting?:bong1:

 

[J Cakes]

i'd say that two of them are about a foot and the other two are kinda behind there like bout 8 inches i'd say it's a little hard to tell cause of the low stress training.

Lookin good. i want to know how much you harvest. =)

I am part of the outsiders that believes a little light leak is cool. Which is your intake? I see several fans...

If it was my box I would have a piece of cardboard the size of the side of the box(so you can set it aside when the lights are on). Around the intakes / exhaust I would make a staggered "shield". Basically a hole in the cardboard for the fan, with another piece of cardboard twice the size of the hole on top. Offset the shield maybe a quarter to half an inch. Dowell rods, chop sticks, folded over cardboard pieces into cubes then zip tied in. lots of ways to do the "shield". Cut a bic pen into 4 pieces and use that for the spacers. Get some black plastic/paper plates maybe?

I am drunk but that is what is most logical/cheapest to me right now. You could even make the shield out of foil or whatever and make them more concave to help block more light.

 

[the chef]

thats what i was thinking cardboard and tape.

thanks for stoppin in guys thanks for the input last nite i went out and got some black plastic and covered my whole box and removed the door and made a velcro one seems to work well haven't did the fan yet. but will try some cardboard thxs.
