help us grow our plants please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!PICS!!!

[noob8]

ok we got 4 plants growing right now in a treasure chest with 2 floro bulbs and one grow and show tube light we have 1 fan going in there right now. we want to grow all the plants in the chest so we have to bend the stems and stuff we need alot of help so everyone leave advise for please ...check out the one plant with 2 stems

[CRIME IN STEREO]

more lights, how many watts are the ones you have??

[TheGreenFog]

Are you sure that plant with "two stems" isn't actually TWO PLANTS? Just making sure.

It will be a large challenge to grow 4 plants in a small treasure chest like that. Maybe you can veg them until mature (all the while topping/LST to keep them short), then when you flower them to determine sex, you keep maybe ONE female and spread her out among the whole space.

If you do not fix your ghetto lighting system, you will soon be creating a new thread entitled "MY LIGHT FELL ON MY PLANTS...WHAT DO I DO?!!!"

You will need proper ventilation in there. If you are hiding it, you will need to mask the smell. Keeping the plant horizontal will be an everyday feat. You would do best to scrog. Good luck. Be safe and responsible.

Check out the Cabinet/Closet Growing Section in the Cultivation list. You should find lots of good stuff there.


Be cool.

hahaha

[TheGreenFog]

Well, that is one of the most common new grower problems that I see, especially when they are working with duct tape and wire coat hangers to hold up their lights/fans.

I'm just trying to help prevent that atrocity from happening this time. :D

thanks for the advice so far everyone about the wattage question so far i got 2 100 watt floros and the shitty tube lite but if you look at my last grow i had alot of lights in there so ill definetly get those in there soon and about the ventilation ill get two computer fans for an inlit and outlit like my last grow and thoes pics are pretty bad so mayb ill get thoes up 2day later and the plant with 2 stems is obviously 2 plants i just dont know how there are 2 cause i planted 1 but idk if i shud just take it out now or what cause wont that stun the growth?

[TheGreenFog]

Well, if it is two plants, I would remove one. That's just me, though. You may want to wait for another answer.

Those 100 watt flourescents...are they 100 equivalent watts? Well, what I mean to say is they are MOST LIKELY 100 equivalent watts, which mean you only have about 26 real watts. Just keep that in mind. Look on the package.

Fix ur duct tape light rig. ;)

Not enough light, period. And once you have space, lighting, and ventilation settled, you need something to feed them with.

:jointsmile: Bree

[noob8]

got 2 new lights and a fan in i still need to get the computer fans for em but ill do that and i also moved one of the two plants that were close to each other into the middle (look at the pics) and the temp is between 78-82 f.

[TheGreenFog]

Dude...what is UP with the duct tape, man? :wtf: lol. What is that circle thing? A reflector? You'd be best off taking all that out...except the lights, cover the inside with reflective mylar, then just leave the lights as they are. You're gonna have to cut a hole or holes in the side/or back of the chest for ventilation air when you get your cpu fans.

I dunno if it's just me, but your plants look like they are needing some nutrients...maybe some root stimulator. Why are the leaves so tiny? I forget how old you said they were...hld on...(looks)...you didn't say how old. Anyway, that's my :twocents:

Your temps look ok for now. Is that with the chest closed or open?

Be cool. :)


The Fog :rastasmoke:

[noob8]

haha yea that ghetto light thing is a glass layer between the lights and the plants cause the leaves kept burning and about the age its a little sketchy but id say they are about a month old they were growing under this tiny lite before so i decided to make something better and for the cpu fans i allready have 2 holes drilled that are good size u can see them in my last pic i posted and the chest is mostly closed exept for when i open it about 3 times a day just to check the temps

[CRIME IN STEREO]

looks like they need some nutrients, like fog said, maybe some root stimulator

and you need to do something about that duct tape and stuff

also you should do is either get some mylar, and cover the inside with that...or spraypaint it white...

[RedEye69]

Dood, those are pretty stretched out. Needed lights closer to them when they were smaller, like 1-1.5 inches away. And time for nutes. 1/4 - 1/2 strength at first. Not gonna be very big plants in that small space, might need to flower pretty soon. Clones would be better suited to a small space like that, if possible.

[RedEye69]

Also, individual pots would be ALOT better. As for size Stinky says "1 gallon per foot of plant height". :thumbsup:

[noob8]

ok so we got the root stimulator and i gave the plants half strength of the stuff but shud i give it the nute everytime i water it? or just once every 2-3 weeks like it says on the bottle next i moved one of my outside plants inside cause it was growing bent and it was perfect for the box after that i got one cpu fan in for now blowing air in but tomarrow im getting another fan for an outlet i also have a small fan inside the box blowing the plants next i added 2 more lights on the top of the box

[noob8]

new plant and i put a fence like wire to stop the plants from growing too tall but they are still right under the light and my one littler plant looks like its trying to flower??/? weird any thoughts

[TheGreenFog]

Looking good, man! :) Glad you took those comment seriously and you're actually doing something about it! More than can be said by most. :) So, now just go buy some emergency blankets (the cheap mylar kind) and some spray glue, then completely cover the inside of your cab (maybe not the bottom) with that stuff and you'll have some good reflection. Hope you can keep all that stuff straight. I like the metal screen. C00L. :)

[TheGreenFog]

15? :( Shucks, I hope you're not growing in a treasure chest to hide it from you parents now, are you? I can't support that, man.

[noob8]

im kinda having a problem with the mylar does anyone think its ok to paint the inside white?

[the image reaper]

noob8, you haven't asked one single question that isn't already answered, time and time again, all over this Forum ... especially the FAQ sections .. do some READING and RESEARCH ... we're all here to help, and respond to questions, but you have to do your part, too ... best tip for new growers, READ everything you can get your hands on, BEFORE putting seed into soil, you will have much happier, more productive grows ... don't hesitate to ask, if you can't find your answers (after looking for them yourself) ... good luck :thumbsup:

[TheGreenFog]

Check out KP's Cannabis College (http://boards.cannabis.com/basic-growing/94493-kps-cannabis-college-cannabis-issues-facts-guide.html).

Flat, white paint will work okay, not as well as mylar, but better than nothing. Make sure it dries WELL before you put the girls back in.

[noob8]

ok i got both of the plants steaked in


the leaves arent really that yellow their actually really green but my flash is being stupid

[CRIME IN STEREO]

wiring a cpu fan is simple, find a 12 V adapter, like a phone plug, or anything like that, and then just bassicaly hack off the ends of both and tape it all up and vwala you have a fan that plugs into the wall. as for sites i cant think of any. and yea looking good man. and i dont think many people have any problems with questions being repeated. just a few.

good luck man:thumbsup:

P.S. Spray painting white is the next best thing to mylar

[the image reaper]

I say this only as 'constructive criticism', don't be offended ... that vine-like mj plant you are growing, is a waste of time and electricity ... it is stretched so badly from inferior lighting, etc., it can NEVER grow into anything healthy (those silly replies you received, telling you how good it looks, are just ridiculous:wtf:) ... no worries, you learn as you go, just as we all do ... just dump it, and start over ... :smokin:

[noob8]

dont worry no offense taken, i was thinking of starting from scratch seeing that i wasnt prepaired to put the plants in, the chest wasnt done and eveything pretty much just went wrong.....

BUT that being said, do you think that i shud remove both and start completley from scratch??? ....

yea im pretty sure ill just put them in the woods or something (its not like me to just KILL a weed plant)

ive been doing alot of homework on the scrog method, i think i might attempt it but i want to start from seed because i dont have any expierience with cloning, but then again i wont learn if i dont try sooo wat im going to do is veg a plant till it gets pretty big, take some clones, move the mama outside and grow the clones inside

SOOO just for a heads up i think ill keep this thread just start a new log... i go on vacation on friday, soo before i leave ill have the germ. seed in the dirt and hopefully it will be bigger when i get back and well go from there


AND thank you everyone for your advice it has been and WILL BE very helpfull

shibby

[freewheelinfrank]

yup, plant them outside, you may get a lucky surprise - they will be very sensitive to the sunlight, after coming from inside (even with good lighting), so be sure to introduce them to the sun gradually over 3-4 days - good luck - :thumbsup:
