Closet Grow> Fluro veg - HID Flower - Hashplant

[Trivium]

Hey everyone.

I do believe I started off on the wrong foot with some of you and for that I apologize and have found more info then I need on here.:rasta:

Alright well tommorow I plan on putting together my room.
Its going to consist of:

-6 Stierofoam cups
-4 Fluorecent 60w (each, 2 tubes, 4ft long ballast.)
-Scholtz soil 50%
-Perlite 50%
-125cfm Fan

Im going to try and get this done in a time period of 3 months.

During my flower I plan on using a 600w HPS w/ hood.
Odor is not of concern to me.

My over all goal is to achieve atleast half oz/plant.

I have a few grows under my belt that were successful and I will post more tommorow with update of closet progress.

**** The photo below is a picture of the plant I valued the most of my last grow done under my 4 fluorecent lights, now this was done in my old dresser so you must understand the angle of the photo ****

Hey everyone.

I have setup my grow room today and am germinating my seedlings as we speak.:cool:

I am using a home heating pad beneath the ziploc with damp papertowel ontop with seeds on top.

I have also placed them under neath 2 of the 4 fluorecent lights to add some light for when they sprout, should I correct this or is it fine?

Do you guys have any suggestions on what type of grow I should do?
ex. SCRoG / SOG / LST. If you know of one that is unique, I could give it a try and read up on it, just leave a post:thumbsup:

Now pictures of the whole room soon, I got all of the seedlings germing atm.:smokin:

[Trivium]

Alright well since I got some time Ill put up a list of what I am going to be purchasing offline throughout my veg period to use and finish flower with.:stoned:

1. 600w HPS Kit with White batwing and bulb complete for 309.00$ CDN with 25$ shipping.

I do not have anything else on my list right now haha, what would you guys suggest to enhance my flowering stage

Also I have questions about CO2.
-When should I apply CO2 to make the most affective effect.
-How much should I apply?
I suppose I should go read up on CO2 eh.:pimp:

Suggestions and comments welcome.

gl man. its all im thinking about also.

Shit.... I forgot to feed myself!!!! HELP im wilting!! :P

[Trivium]

The last thing I want are wilting plants :O

I would only really worry about wilting when I do my cloning, and even then I will be prepared.

[Trivium]

Alright 2/6 have sprouted, and the others are peaking there shells open :)

Shouldnt be long now.

[Trivium]

77 views and I have 1 post from another user....No one here can tell me what style they want them grown like I asked, Ive also asked if you guys know of any good items to purchase but yet out of 77 people nothing.... what the hell this just isnt right

[Trivium]

Alright well nothing special, they're on day 2 under 240watts of fluorecent lighting.

Photos kinda shitty, but its because of shitty camera.

[gtscruggs]

Where are the younglings, and how are they doing?

[Trivium]

Hey gts, the seedlings are on there 2nd pair of leaves, and its day2. They're dong fine, aslong as I keep up the water right now nothing can go wrong.

Thx for your reply.

[Trivium]

Abandoned.

Will continue to grow it solo and still show my face, just not record logs on here because I find Im doing nothing but handing out evidence and recieving no help.

:(

Sorry we forgot about this man... it isn't like we saw it an on purpose ignored it. Again, sorry man... trust me, I know how much it sucks to keep the updates coming, and having no feedback.

Regarding CO2
You can use it both in vegetative (faster growth) and flowering (you can guess). It's good for both times.

If you're going to use it, you should get a controller for it. BGHydro sells various good ones.

You have to use CO2 during daylight... and CO2 + fluorescents = waste
CO2 *has* to be used with HIDs, and slightly higher temperatures.

Ideal leavels range around 1500 - 1800 ppm.

Hope this helps man... sorry for the abandonment... :)

Keep it up dude, please... don't be discouraged!

The HPS looks sweet. Nice buds coming your way.

[turtle420]

BUMP!

How's it going Triv???

[Trivium]

BUMP!

How's it going Triv???

Hey turtle, great to hear from somebody.

I dont even want to continue this log .... I'll give you an update and decide.

Day 5 from seed, currently only underneath 1 40w 2 4ft sun tube fluoro.

I dont think I'll even bother with Co2, it was just something I wanted to learn about but I had to find more valuable resources, so I was educated on Co2.

Picture #1 Indicates that these may be indica plants, could be jumping the gun though.

looking good dude, dont worry about the feedback, sometimes less is more than you need:thumbsup:

I guess, its not really the feed back I wanted for my plants atm, it was more of what they wanted to see. My first couple of posts have some questions for users, but its cool.

Im thinking about throwing in 2 cool white tubes into another ballast and locating it into my grow room. What do you think? Now for those of you that are asking why I dont show my grow room , its because I do not have a digital camera atm, but I am using a web camera. Hopefully going to borrow a mates asap:thumbsup:

[bob bobbinson]

Hey Trivium. Sry bout the lack of posting. I would give more insight, but as u know im on first grow, so I only know for sure, as much as ive actually done.

I think if u did a log in the indoor growing it would get much more views etc. Casue I think alot of people just read those forums. sometimes im a victim on that. I kinda hang in plant probs/indoor growing.

But hey man, look at my log. I have almost 800 reads but only 5 different people posting. U included. But I think I got those reads casue it was in indoor growing.

Im not trying to make excuses. People should post more, not just read. But that how they all go usually.

Anyhow... Im still here following ur grow :} And about the CFLs. Since ive only don HIDs i would say.... Id like to see u do that. hehe But im sure u have ur reasons. Cant wait till u get that new camera though.... Id like to see the whole shot.

[cactusman23]

as long as you keep those tubes 1" from your babies they'll be alright, how are your temps? the extra light will be good, but if y0ur temps become a problem, the extra lights wont be very beneficial. Also do you have a fan blowing on your younglings? one more thing, dont get the 4200k cool whites, they're too white, you want something more blue like 5000 or 5500k, or even one 5000k and one 3000k would provide a more balanced spectrum, thats what I think:thumbsup:

[Trivium]

Hey guys, thanks for the encouraging words.

Cactus , Im unaware of the K in the bulbs, they purchased a while ago. This sunlight is working wonders, I have plenty of new growth everywhere on the plants and are growing rapidly.

Now I will d another update tommorow mates, leave questions or what not here.

Going to add a fan to my grow room tonight. Forgot to dig her out of the old shed.

Hey mate, HPS makes wonders come flower, I love them. Keep those seedlings about 1-2" away from the light to minimize stretching @ max.

Niiiice!!!

Yeah man, yeah! :)

[Trivium]

In couple of weeks here my mate is going to set me up a hydro for 40$. So I will be doing hydro sooner then I though, Im not sure if I can change plants from soil to hydro. Im pretty sure I can take them out of the pots and wash off the dirt carefully and then place the rootball and plant in the hydro. If anyone has further info on this please post to help , thanks alot :)

[Trivium]

Hey guys, this is I think Day 8 or 9.

I gave them there first food today, it consisted of 250mL/water and 1 drop of Earth Juice ( 2.1.1 ) I love earth juice, has anyone else used this fert? They've taken it very well and have been more then perked up since this morning. Also the first picture is a picture of the sativa, its putty off a very intense smell of hashplant. The indica has no smell atm.

[Trivium]

Plants were showing signs of a nitrogen diffeciency. I used 1tsp of Iron Green (8-0-0) with 700mL of water and they've gone right back to lucious green. Awaiting your comments. In a weeks time I'll have a hydro. Im hopefully going to purchase the HPS sooner then I thought and going to go ahead and start another grow in another closet doing hydro. Ive done some of my reading, but definatly have much much more to do. Your comments are widley accepted, so please dont be affraid to post.
