Rearranged my lights in prep for the flowering process. Rearranging the plants opened up the canopy by adding space between the rows, and each plant is getting more light. I will need 2 more lights to hang between the 7 plants leaving me with 8 lights to use in 2nd cabinet to start a perpetual grow. Watered plants, and made sure my lights were secure. The damaged plants have recovered from the light slip/fall. Two of them now have multiple branches above the main body of plant. The accident was like a topping of the plant. Day 3 of 12/12. At the moment, the plants are a bit shorter than the plants I normally produce. These were only vegged for 3 weeks, while my usual veg time is 4 weeks.

No signs of plants sexes today. I gave them some food rated 5n 15p 5k yesterday. Would like the plants to show soon so I can free up more space by ripping the males, and in turn add more light per plant. Started the perpetual grow with six Bubblicious Seeds today. The Bubblicious will be a seed harvest, so all I need is one male and one female. Any addition females will be put into the big box for continued flowering. Since I am thinking about it, at some point the pollinated plants will need to be moved if this is going to be a never ending grow. Will work on the plan.

Looks like the plants are starting to show. Not certain yet, but it looks like 1 female and two males with 4 plants to go. Hoping for a few more fems, but that's not under my control, yet. I went shopping for some rooting gels, powders and hormones, but the two home stores I looked at didn't have any. There's a garden store around, but it's just a strange request for me. I also took a look at some lighting. I saw a 6 light light rack that I liked for 30 bucks, but I think I'm going to go DYI. My seed order was shipped today. Will see how long it takes for an order to arrive from the UK. Measured plants today. They are are currently at 20 inches.

Weeded out another male leaving two definite females and 2 yet to show sex. Not able to provide good light to all plants from conopy to container. Gave up on the Bubblicious. After 6 days from experience, if the seed hasn't produced a tap root, the seeds are no good. Did notice that one of the seeds was cracked without a tap root. I think it was cracked prior to being put into the soil. The other seeds looked shriveled and poocked. Switched over to ICE. 7 seeds started. After thought is telling that I should have
gone straight with the White Widow seeds I have. They are fresh and I have had 80 percent germ rate within 5 days. While I don't blame the breeder or distributor, it would have been nice to get some seeds from the pack I bought. With luck, the ICE will come through and I can run a batch of seeds.
