7 weeks of life in veg area.
Couldn't find any bugs in flower box or sauna.
I've noticed some chew marks on plants in veg area. Only bug I seen in house was one of those Asian beetles. They look like orange lady bugs. Minnesota brought them in to state to do something now the bastards are everywhere. They also bite. But other than that shits going good. Plants are green and healthy!

2 weeks of flower done. Plants stretching out some. Got the starting of some little buds!

Shits looking pretty good. Plants are all green and growing. Gonna pop some seeds soon and get ready to refill the veg area. These ones are 7ish weeks. I've been flipping at 10 11 weeks.

Pictures from the box. Plants still green. Gonna up the nutes from 3/4 to full dose and hope these bitches stay green.

8 weeks of life in veg area
Plants are still looking good. Gonna up the nutes to 3/4 dose next feeding. Trying to stay ahead on nutrients so they stay green. That's the plan anyways. We will see I guess.

3 weeks of flower completed. Same plan for these ones. Up em more nutes. Hope everyone stays green.

Pictures from the veg area. Popped some seeds and got a new area set up. Gonna use the shitty 600 watt first light 8 bought for seedlings. On the veg switch it only is 35watt.
But should work for seedlings. So far 11 heads popping up. I need a area for just seedlings. It's to hard trying to fit different stages of plants under one light.

Pictures from the box plants still budding up.
There's a little ugly on the bigger one.

All in all I think shits going pretty good.

It can definitely get tricky with different stages....it looks like you've got it way under control!!! Looks great!!

By all means, a bigger light usually means better, but little lights can work wonders....especially for seedlings.....

Things are looking very good!
Regarding lights, I have tried CFL, HPS, LED, tube fluorescents etc.
I found tube fluorescents in a shop light to be perfect for seedlings, clones and all stages of veg. They’re very affordable to purchase and operate with minimal heat compared to all other bulbs.

A standard 4 foot shop light with (2) 6500 K “daylight” bulbs is perfect for 1’ x 4’ shelf. Grab a box of the bulbs if you go that route, because they are being phased out.
I veg all my plants under fluorescent tubes, sometimes up to 3 feet tall before they go outside or before they go under HPS or LED for flowering.

Here’s an example of three stages of my vegging plants, all grown under fluorescent tubes.

Because I keep the light so close they grow into it quickly but will not burn the leaves. Worst case is the leaves become deformed and/or there can be condensation between the leaf and the bulb, so don’t be careless like me, keep the lights a little higher.

Seedlings 5 days of life..
Fuck there doing alright not stressing not stretching we're good! Shit that hundred spend won't be a waste now! Good news..

4 weeks 1 good one discolored
So my big girl turning dark! I've had yellow in flower. This hoe turned black with green edges. Same strand same seeds. other sister green and strong. Actually she's probably the best I've done at 4 weeks of flower.

I often got 2 seeds from the same seedpack and one will eat 800 one 600

Both are larger plants. Longest I ever vegged.
11 weeks. The discoloration is within last 2 weeks. Furthest I've got into flower green.
It's crazy because I've been trying to feed heavy because last run my plants turned yellow with half dose feedings. The plants were green 3/4 dose through veg. Soon as I upped the nutes the one started changing. The other plant still green.

Dadman86 · May 20, 2025

Damn so what's causing discoloration.
Im thinking deficiency of some sort.
Does anybody feed more than suggested dose. I'm winging it when it comes to feeding.
I started 1/2 dose when I up potted. When they got big I upped to 3/4 dose. Just 2 weeks back I started full dose. I could use some help from the masters here.

o yea forgot to ask where did the problems start how high on the plant did you notice it first time

Time for you to try cloning quicker than seeds. Take a few cuts from your best plant, thin side shoots are best but tops work too. Have a cup of tap water to put the cuts in right after cutting. Use one of the clone gels or powders to coat the cut end and put them in soil/coco/rockwool, etc. They'll usually root within 2 weeks if given good conditions. Clones will pretty much be duplicates, depending on the conditions you give them so always use your best plant. Once you get the cloning down you can flower the mom and use one of the clones as a new mom. That's the circle of weed life, Simba

BearWater · May 20, 2025

I’ve three different things I would be looking at. It’s only speculation though. If it were my plant I’d water with cal-mag

Another thought ( if it’s locked out you do t really want to be throwing a bunch of stuff at it) but I’d be looking at upping the plants bloom. And bumping the N a bit. Again this is just what I would do and Im not suggesting you do this. Just some food for thought, get the wheels turning on something you know? : ) I defer to the elders here though : )

Rafiki the monkey is pretty dope. I bet that fool could grow green plants.
I tried cloning. Windowsill method. They grew some little nubs but died before they grew any. Water got slimy. Leaves started dieing. I'm going to attempt to make a bucket cloner. I have the nozzles bucket. I need 1/2 inch hose t stem adapter and water pump. Less than 20 worth of supplies and I can attempt to make one.
