My 1st grow room

[Gatekeeper777]

OK peeps here is my grow room dedicated to the peeps here. I put to use some of what i have learned.
The wife said we cant afford HPS or MH till spring(high gas bills) so i did the next best thing. mylar surrounded by Fluorescents then to give it a lil boost a 175 watt MV.
I follar spray them 3 times a day with cow poo tea. and they are on a 18/6.
I also have my poor mans CO2 going(Suger water and yeast)with a line feeding the plants and a regular window fan on low to wind stress them.
they are at 3 weeks

Am i correct that these are little girls??? They dont have hairs they look like leafs. Or those are NOT preeflowers.

[invision]

ummmm is that plant saturated in water?

water way less and no those are too young to sex

[Gatekeeper777]

yes i just watered it as well as folar sprayed.

[invision]

ok but make sure the dirt is completly dry before you water again, how far is your light from the tops

[Gatekeeper777]

about 20" for the MV it throws alot of heat and i dont wanna burn em

[invision]

can you put a fan right on the bulb itself to help dispense the heat at all

[Bree1978]

What you thought were preflowers is secondary growth..not too long now! B

[Gatekeeper777]

secondary growth... they must goona be some tight compact plants. there is only about 1/2 inch or about 20 mm between nodes.

[Gatekeeper777]

I am goona grow it 1 meter high befor i flower.
at approx 20 MM between the nodes thats alot of braches for potential budsites.

:jointsmile: here are a 2 girls under Low Stress Training. I used a shoe string to tie em down.
these girls like bondage.lol
the little balls in the soil is time released nutes 6/6/6 lol

the jug is water and corn syrup water that i folar feed with.
they are about 3 weeks old.:smokin:

[Gatekeeper777]

here you can see the MV light i use . i just raised it to about 30 inches above the plants to promote a lil streatching.

also you will notice the one that i didnt tie down it looks a little sickly. you will also see where it looks as if something is eating it. (but my room is clean) and there is some yellowing on the leaves. could it be undernourished?
there is apic of a small window fan i have for air circulation.

the yellow hose you see is from my yeast sugar water co2 maker. lol

take that mv apart and separate the ballast from the socket (very important for heat reasons) I've used 2 of those mv lights before, they work fine but you need that bulb oriented horizontally to maximise output, once separated from the ballast, you can put it 4 inches away and not risk burning. Also get a coated bulb for that, the clear bulbs put out poor light compared to phosphor coated ones (6500k for clear, 5900k for coated). I will give you a link to help the wiring: How to wire your own Marijuana Grow lights &Save Money & Wiring 2 Rooms With 1 Ballast, (http://www.onlinepot.org/grow/wiringlights.htm)

thanks
I will take a look
at it

[Gatekeeper777]

24 hours of flowering....what do you think? can you see preflowers on them?

[Gatekeeper777]

If any males show up they or it will get pulled and the POOR MANS CFL boxed grow light will get put over the female like a cover.:hippy:

[Gatekeeper777]

the shine on the leaves is because i spinkled sugar on them and folar feed them with a sugary syrup and cow poo tea.

[Gatekeeper777]

ok getting on 5 weeks of flower time here is a few pics.
she is from bag seed. strain unknown.

[Gatekeeper777]

I also took a couple of empty 2 liter coke bottles and put a cfl in them and stuck them inside the little girl and BOOM! she is really budding on the inside too.
but you still have to watch the heat.
I burned a branch in half by accident. its curently drying and will be a test subject ;)
