I'm in southern Cali and one of the shops I go to has Clones for $17 (good deal?) I'm not sure what strain it is since all they know is that its "top-shelf" lol. Anyways I'm going to use a grow box with about 6 CFLs, 5 feet tall, one plant and the inside lined with mirrors or tin foil (which is better?). Also how much water and sunlight should I give it? I know I got a lot of questions here so if anyone could help me I would really appreciate it. ;)
Hey priest,
generally starting with clones is not a good idea since you have no idea if they have any kind of infection or just general plant problems. Did they verify that it's a girl?
You can get like 10-15 seeds for $50, but it would extend the total growth time.
Whats the wattage on those CFLs?
ALso, lining up the internal room with mirrors is a bad idea since they will actually absorb some light, either paint it white, use mylar, or go to wallmart and get a fire blanket (or two of them) and line the internals with that, each blanket is like 2 bucks, so it's real cheap.
The water and the sunlight will depend on the age of the clone and how you want to grow it. Are you using soil or hydro? If using soil, make sure you check it because a lot of soils already have nutes in them. In any case, you probably want to start with something like 25% of the recommended nutes dosage. In soil, you will water your plant when the soil is dry, should be like every 3 or 4 days.
Thank you so much that is a lot of good information. They say its female but with this place you never know. Sounds like I should get some seeds instead so whats a good website to get them? Also as far as the grow box I'm basically following this thread by bodom http://boards.cannabis.com/growroom-...b-growbox.html I'm using the same basic design but I want to make mine out of wood instead
that works, thats a good post.
Seeds are win or loose, I am having a very hard time getting my shit to germiate and root properly. I have tried probably every method out there.
As far as different seed banks, I am too paranoid to order from any place like that, so I am using bag seeds.
