First time ever. by Eliza Cattingnark - Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:37:39 EST ID:1Tute0Kx No.126650 Ignore Report Reply Quick Reply

First time growing any plant of any kind. I decided to grow some Northern Lights x Skunk/ Auto Kaya 47. I have them both under a 600w MH bulb (set it to 300 though for the first few weeks). They're both about a foot and a half-2 feet underneath the light.

Pic is what the NLxS looks like at 2 weeks. I've fed them both once with a very weak solution of Fish/seaweed and threw in a very minute amount of epsom salt.
Progress going as usual?

I also have a vegetable garden in the room right now with a pomegranate tree underneath as well. I'm hoping to separate everything soon.

Yeah I figured it'd be a bit strong, do you think it will spread out or should I move it further away from the light? I have to water quite frequently (about every 2 days) because they're in peat pots and like to breath.

San Pedro cutting by Nigger Secklebury - Tue, 18 Jun 2013 15:22:30 EST ID:r5NVRy/D No.126649 Ignore Report Reply Quick Reply

Soon I'll be buying a San Pedro cutting. This will be 50+ cm, weigthing somewhere between 600 grams and avarage is 750 grams. This means that it is more than enough for one dose.
That being said, I wanted to consume a dose (yet to be established after purchase, probably some 400-500 grams) and I want to let the rest of the cutting grow. Now my question is as follows: what is more or less the minimum length of a cutting to be able to grow it?

so I just started these from seed on may 28th. it's june 5th. I am new and this is my first grow. Im running a DWC 5 gal setup in rocks and rockwool with a few in peat pellets. What should I do now, I am going to put them in netpots and buckets soon, but should I keep 24/7 light ont hem?
Also, nutes or too early?
Also, lights are 3-100Wcfl with a cheap flourescent on the other side. gonna switch when in veg.

If so it might not recover. I'd try not to over wet it, and just replant as usual.

Sup /grow/

I've started growing a plant a few days ago. Soaked it in water overnight, and then palanted it on good soil. Few days went past and the fucker didn't show up, so I poked around for a bit and *somehow* the seed had managed to rotate 180º and the shoot was digging into the ground, instead of out into the open. As carefully as I could I took the seed and rotated it, then covered it up, leaving a bit of the stem uncovered by soil. Is this too much stress for a seedling or should I be ok? Should I just have left it as it was?

Pic related, what I'm attempting to grow.

I would just make sure the soil is fairly moist and keep it in a warm but dark area with good humidity and see what happens.

No one can tell you if it's okay or not but digging it up more will further stress out the plant.

Comment Here is my first grow attempt. Outdoor.
This is the second day they're in soil .
Red marked are Skunk 1 (5x) and the others Super Skunk(5x).
I want to let them grow there until they're... lets say ... 8 cm, then i will move them on my balcony outdoor and fill them in a bigger pot.
When they're like 18-25 cm I'll plant two of them in my garden and 8 st some other placees.
What do you think? Any recommendation?
Should i give them direct Sunlight already or is it too early?
How much water should I give them?

4 plant per pot SoG by Graham Candergold - Tue, 18 Jun 2013 11:50:41 EST ID:x2wvE9jB No.126644 Ignore Report Reply Quick Reply
1371570641640.jpg -(355508 B, 780x1891) Thumbnail displayed, click image for full size. 355508
Have a question about a SoG method I read somewhere a few weeks ago. I thought I had it bookmarked but couldn't find it.

Someone told a guy to put plants 4 to a pot of about 1-2 gal and train them outwards. Said they would be ready for harvest much faster and they give about an oz from each plant. Advantage of this being one month per one gallon pot is 4oz and you can fit tons more into the same space.

Sounds a bit hopeful but still plausible since plants with less root space grow smaller and faster. I just can't remember the exact pot size and if it was autoflower or not. Anyone try this method or at least hear about it? How well does it work?

I'm currently in the process of setting up a box grow and I'm entirely unsure what kind of light to get or where to even buy it. I looked at Lowe's but they didn't have anything explicitly labeled as a "grow light". Does anyone know of usable bulbs that can be easily found at a hardware store?

CFL will be your best bet, just get three 42W bulbs, and some cheap fixtures to mount in your box. They sell all of this at the store. Don't bother looking for 'grow' lights, just make sure it has a color temp around 2700k. 6500k is better for the veg stage, but with your limited space you should go straight into 12/12 and try to flower ASAP to limit stretching.

if you can fit in and afford a aircooled 250w hps that would be the best, if not look for cfl envirolites which come in 125w, 200w, 300w i think or even loads of little cfls to make up to the same wattage

you want the most watts you can fit in to get the most light but be careful about overheating
this is where cfl is better for small spaces because it has less heat but also loses light intensity with distance from bulb dramatically which is where hps comes in with better light penetration and but more heat

dude read a book or guide on how to grow if you dont know what you're doing

its not as easy and straightforward as you might think

Wouldn't that cause stretching? I'd rather make sure it's strong and healthy before it flowers and not try to rush it.

While we're on the topic of grow boxes, will the activated carbon from an aquarium filter be sufficient to mitigate the smell outside the box?

question on an autoflower plant I have. It was a clone and I planted it outside not realizing it was an autoflower. It's in a movable pot. I live in California and the days are still getting longer. It's flowering like crazy, but we have about 14-15 hours of light right now.
So best thing i should do is build a box wrapped it in thick black plastic to seal out light which I can put over the plant at 6pm. If the sun comes up at 6, that gives 12 hours of light/dark.
I should do this right? the plant would already be in the shade. Also I'm starting to give it blooming fertilizer.

Lab tests show that the grounds contain useful amounts of phosphorus and potassium, are a low-level source of nitrogen and also contain minor amounts of calcium, magnesium, copper, and other trace minerals, carbohydrates, sugars, some vitamins, and some caffeine.
Coffee grounds are particularly good for acid-loving plants, like tomatoes, roses, azaleas & blueberries, evergreens, camellias, avocados, and some fruit trees.
But you can use coffee grounds for most plants as the acid level is not as high as you would think as a substantial amount of the ‘acid’ is cooked out of the coffee and consumed. Just reduce the amount used for other plants.

A plant will grow with just water and what minimal nutrients are in the ground. You're supplementing organic fertilizer. It'll be just fine.

You won't fully maximize the genetic potential of the plant like people using chemical fertilizers and organic compost teas, but you'll grow some bud you won't hate smoking.

Cannabis is a very hearty plant and can handle some abuse, so don't get too worked up. It's not a weed, anybody saying so is uneducated. A weed is a plant where it is not wanted. Anything can be a weed.
