Picked up my new seeds from the PO today. Seedsman had me laughing the whole time I was opening the package. I'll illustrate with pics.
It came in a tube with [REDACTED] listed on the customs form.

And they weren't kidding...
Doc McStuffins apparently had the prescription I...
Hey y'all -
The boys got ditched right after my last post. I couldn't bear to kill them so I dug three holes out in the woods and I'm letting nature do the rest.
I ordered from Seedsman and it should be arriving ...uhm... eventually.
So in the meantime, out of boredom, I planted 3 more...
Yeah, I'm kinda bummed. I was hoping at least one of them would sprout female for me, but this whole grow was a gamble.
These things EXPLODED under the T5s! Amazing.
Figuring on ordering some AK48 from Nirvana this Friday when I get paid.
2nd T5 ballast installed last night. Snapped a quick pic of the set-up.
These kick off WAY less heat than the cfl's did, and I can finally close the doors to the cabinet. Still feel like I need more light though - it just doesn't seem as bright in there now. Yeah, I know I need to straighten...
So I mentioned that they were preflowering/sexing a little last post, so I snapped the best pic of the best example I could for y'all to see. This just happens to be 'Barbara' - the eldest.
I don't know which way this goes.. M or F?
'Spec' is just tall and wiry. Not a lot of girth...
I don't know what I did to my pics, but apparently I messed up them up where they're being hosted.
I have quite a few updates to show/tell about, but I still have to take some new pics. The plants are showing early signs of their sex (all 3), but still too soon for me to be able to identify...
I really like this DIY cabinet here: http://www.marijuanapassion.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3260
I would want to go a little less tall, of course, so it'll fit in the space I have. What are your thoughts on that set-up? I like to build things, and this seems like something I could handle. Could...
For you all that use them - HPS lights get real hot, right? Are they big electricity/energy drains, too? I'd like to get the best lights for my situation/space and there are a few of these that are relatively inexpensive on the ol' CraigsList - but if they're gonna pack too much heat or double...
I should've worded that more carefully. The leaves themselves had gone from super-droopy to lifted and perky - that's what I meant by reaching for the sky. I think they were underwatered - I watered them real good yesterday before I left for work - might explain the drastic change in their...
Quick update:
This morning when I woke up two of the 3 were looking really droopy and ...sad. So I grabbed my other lamp, removed the hoods, and added 5 more lights to the set-up. I started to worry about so many lights but luckily about midday my gf swung home to check on them and they'd...
Yeah, Lesso, you called that pretty early on. I just got schooled by the Goddess.
For THG - Thanks for all the info, and the time you spent adding your knowledge. That alone shows a lot of love and dedication to this whole practice. I intend to purchase a good, reputable stash of seeds, and...
