Looking good man!

You inspire me to get my rig setup..

[DAP8026]

Be careful not to let the light get too close to the plants. Also a circulation or exaust fan would be great for an area that small to extract the excessive heat.

[fUNKYcDOG]

i have a sliding closet, so i vent alot of the heat out that way, and in my room i have a big over head fan.

i need some help on the strains that are growing, ie. grow times, etc. etc. i cant seem to find any info on the lemon green skunk.

[fUNKYcDOG]

updt its been about 11 days into flowering and my sage plants are popping up with all kinds of white pistol hairs!!!


ps anyone watching my log?

[fUNKYcDOG]

new pics, sorry do not have that great of a camera

[headshake]

did you veg at all? how close is the light? for having a 400w MH they are awfully skimpy. not trying to be insulting, but you should be doing much better.

the one looks like a clone maybe?

are you feeding nutes?

i vegged for a week under a 1x13w cf.
light is 18inch way from the plants.
they were all clones.
no, not feeding nutes, just using fox farm soil.

[headshake]

funky, the distance you should be aiming for with the light is when you can put your hand at the top of the plant(s) and keep it there for about 5 seconds before having to move it. move the light up just a tad. if that's the case cool.

you probably want to look into some nutes. i use miracle grow with no problems. others say it sucks. i am looking for some different nutes (i'm still in veg). i found some super bloom at lowes for like $6. it something like 10-50-10. i haven't used it yet so i don't know how good it is. but you want a high amount of phosphorus in flower, with low nitrogen and potassium.

[fUNKYcDOG]

1-2 pics are lemon green skunk
3-4 pics are durban poison and cough

[fUNKYcDOG]

anyone out there that can give this newbie advice ??

[DTRave420]

Howdy FcD!!! I think your plants are starvin'...I've read all kinds of opinions about the feeding of seedlings...Many say to hold off on nutes until they're two or even three weeks old...I think those opinions are incorrect...I feed mine at least once during their first week and that's besides the lump of earthworm castings they're sittin' in...:jointsmile:

[fUNKYcDOG]

alright i bought me some nutes this morning :giggity::rastabanna::greenthumb::greenthumb:

[fUNKYcDOG]

:vap_smiley::smokebong::bigsmoke:

i added nutes to the 2 sage plants, hopefuly we will see some improvment

[fUNKYcDOG]

2 lemon green skunk
1 durban poison
1 cough

[fUNKYcDOG]

the rest. i havent feed nutes to the young'ins yet, any idea to how long i should wait to start feeding nutes? should i wait til there about as tall as the sage plants are as of now?

[DTRave420]

I usually feed small plants 1/4 strength nutes,1/4 tsp SuperThrive,and 1 tbs of Sweet per gallon...Don't use the Sweet if you're going to also use this as a foliar spray...:jointsmile:

[LolaGal]

Congrats on the girl! A small fan blowing on the plants really strengthens their stems, like they were outside in the wind.

I got good news today too. My NLHaze babies are all 3 girls. It always is a happy day when you know you have a girl after all that hard work isn't it?

Keep up the hard work:thumbsup:

[MaryJaneMonkey]

Good 1st grow, Im no expert, but I would say those plants are too small for the MH. A cheap $10 t-12 lighting fixture with 2 40w 6500k bulbs works very well for my plants for the first 2-3 weeks. You can keep the light within inches, no heat, save some electricity, companct growth.

I would say raise the light up some, I dont think they can use all of those lumens with so few leaves. (I recently put my 6" clones under a 600W MH at a big distance and the plants didnt like it, now they're back under their easy does it CFL light)

others starting to grow:rastasmoke:

[LolaGal]

It's Northern Lights #5 and Haze, so that would make it's genetics Northern Lights/Thai and on the other side Haze is a sativa which if I remember is Colombian/Mexican. I can't remember if it has any Brazilian in it or not. So it's a hybrid. Looks totally indica however. Best plant I've ever seen at this stage.

None of my business, but I'd veg those plants a little more under the MH before
flowering. Buff em up a little. But I tend to grow trees.....so maybe shouldn't listen to me..LOL

[DTRave420]

Looking OK...:)Hope everything works out 4 ya "FcD"...Forgot to mention,while I am a proponent of early feeding,take into account the amount of light you're able to provide to the plants when feeding em...To much food can be just as bad as not enough...:smokin:

Again looking good man..
Can't wait to pick your brain when all this is done to get myself setup with something.

Quick Question for you.
How strong is the smell in that room from the plants?

as of right now no smell so far... they havent fully budded yet, so im thinking when they start to fourm nice dense flowers they will start to smell....


we will see....:rastasmoke:

[Weezard]

Aloha FCD,

Thanks for the rep.

I do have one suggestion.
You'll need to re-pot soon.
When you do, use a little more soil.
Fill the pot almost level, it will settle when watered.
That "bowl" of dead air can promote mold.
It's also a good idea to have an oscillating fan blowing across the tops of the pots.

Still, they're looking good.
Best of luck with it.

Are you switching for an HPS when flowering the ladies?

all i have is 400w mh

[fUNKYcDOG]

all i have is 400w mh

everything was free light and clones. this is suppose to be a small closet grow. just a small grow for personal uses. not looking to have the tallest dankest blooming buds. i need it to be small. so if this 1st grow good awesome then i dont need to buy any more buds. sure could i get better improvements with diff. light, etc. etc. im just happing with the production ive gotten so far. other reason iam very very poor right now. in the future i would like to get 400w hps and get a veg grow box going.... one day at a time

thanks too evry one bong hits for alll

love all the advice......

When you get a couple of extra bucks,you don't need to buy a HPS system...Just buy a 400WATT HPS conversion bulb...It will work in your present system...:)

no shit i didnt know that. even though my system is 400w mh only? where can i get that bulb. will ur typical grow shop have it?

[dodo5678]

Very cool. I'm curious to know more about that bulb too.

Thanks for sharing,

Very common bulb fellas...Just google or whatever you do,(400WATT HPS conversion bulb), into your computer and grow shops will be trippin' over each other to sell ya one...

[LolaGal]

Yup, Dave is right. They are in all the grow catalogs. I like the 400w MH/HPS switchable ballasts too. All you do is flip a switch and change the bulb.

They also have 400 w MH conversion bulbs if you have a HPS system.


FunkycDog: It sucks being poor.....I know too! I'm using FoodSaver vacuum bags to grow in right now..LOL

[dodo5678]

Thanks DTR. I have a switchable ballast, just didn't hear about a conversion bulb.

Rock On!

hey there guys. some of my stems on the plant are purple is tha good or bad

Normal dude...look at my plants for comparison! they are 1/3 purple 2/3 green! and healthy as hell!!!

[headshake]

purple usually derives from cold temps. it might just streak in the stems. also for the plant to turn purple it must have purple genetics. this is just what i gather.

[b0n3ZA]

durban poison, yay :)

i'll be watching the grow. haven't seen an indoor durban poison grow before.

what kinds of buds to you like?

thanks for the great info btw :jointsmile: +REP

[LolaGal]

Out here in the sticks, lucky to find Mexi-Brick. Right now trying first new genetics. NLHaze, California Orange Bud and White Rhino. Never tried any "name brand" buds in my life.:(

If all goes well, will probably stick with these 3, as I am a big chicken with no access to genetics. Only took a few decades to get up nerve to order these 3 strains....LOL. I think I'll quit while I'm a head (haha).

Oh, to be in cool MMJ state like California, where you can walk in and pick up buds at dispensary.........I don't think I'd stop till I tried everything, probably in one day.

I dream of Amsterdam..............
