ok wow, some of the plants look way brighter in the picture, at least the underside of them. I think the HPS lights are making the colors look a little different. I had the flash on, so thats probably why. They look a lot stranger in real life.
Our veg isnt ready to be transplanted so we are letting our flower stay under the lights as long as possible. These plants are almost in their 10th week of flowering which is why they look so old..beucase they are. The last few buds are bearly hitting their 70% brown hairs anyways so at least we are getting something from our patience.
While im here, I might as well update on the rest of our situation.
We will probably pull our flower in the next day or two, its really up in the air right now beucase we dont have anything to put in there yet.
Here is the no-no's we did with our veg and why its not ready:
1. Somehow, dont ask me how, but somehow our friend gave us clones that were in flowering. Most of them are not vegging properly, some of them have not even grown. We were going to pull all of them and replace them but we were already short on plants, thats why we had to borrow some from our friend.
2. Our 1000w HPS light was not centered evenly over all the plants beucase we wanted to make sure the freshly planted babies didnt die and we installed an MH light but my friend never told me to turn it on for fear that it would fry our clones. Plus most of the plants were growing so we didnt realize until further down the road that there was a problem.
3. Our veg was planted at different times. 20 of them were left over from our 32 bucket flower transplant. We planted another 40 or so clones a few days later, some from our friend(the flowered ones) and then we planted the other 20 or so another 3-5 days later. 3 days ago we came to the conclusion that 3 or so werent growing properly so we(well not 'we', morel like 'I') switched to 24/7 vegging, moved the light closer to the young'ens, pulled the 6" ducting that pulls air from outside to the back of the room so that air would be pulled from the doorway to the back of the veg giving us unlimited co2(our temps stay around 80 max plus we have the ac).
So far our efforts have shown some improvement in our veg's growth, but we are looking at at least another week of veg before they are ready to go into the next room.
On a happy note, our 32 plant flowering is running smoothly. big white hairs and they run all the way down the cola of the plant. I just got our co2 tanks filled. I just flushed the resivior. I think our 32 plant room might give us as much as our 72 plant room. :yay:
The plants we pulled with those massive buds turned out to be a litttle less than a lb which was way less than what we thought it was going to be. Basically 14 plants = 1lb for what we pulled. Our friend that has the same strain is doing about 1lb per
8 plants so that is why we thought it would be a lot more. But at least we can say that we have probably had bigger nugs than he probably ever has.
