My first grow

need to figure out how many days into flower and total I'm at. I want to figure out how to make pictures not orange.

Cloaning is easy you just have to have everything in place to do it. Read the bubbler sticky at the top of this folder. There are a lot of threads in here on how to build a cloaning box out of rubbermaid toats and many other household things that are close to a garentee to root every time.
This is a skill you are going to have to master to get the most out of growing! :) So I suggest read, read, read on cloaning, figure out the best setup for you, get all the materials to build your cloan box, have all tools and materials needed for cloaning before you attempt cloaning. It is a very exact step by step process, almost like sugery so if anything is not there at the right time or wrong time you are almost bound to fail as you can see.

Just keep trying!!!
Just fyi it takes 2 or more weeks before you see roots and yellowing leaves is normal. All the energy is going to root growth, so it is using the stored nutes in the leaves. Basically the plant is growing backwards until enough roots have grown enough to start taking in nutes. Then new growth will start that will more than likely NOT look like normal mj leaves. This is ok eventually they will come.

So just read as much as you can on it and keep trying you need to learn this.

for green pics i switch my light off 2 minutes early and use the time taking pics using the cameras flash,gets rid of orange hps glow

All my harvests have been in 2 - 2.5 gallons. Here some pics of my stuff right now in 2 gallons. I start them in a 1 gallon for veg and when Im about to induce flowering I then put them into 2 gallons for he last 8 weeks. On average there about 2-3 ft tall and yield about 1.5-2 ounces dried. I have to keep them this size because of my closet setup isnt very tall

Olliegrow,
Thanks for getting back.

Yes there is a difference, Deaner and I have been blessed with a space that he and I can grow trees, that is why I instructed him to transplant to 5 gallon buckets, in my grow I shoot for a yeild of 2 to 3 or more onces per plant. I haven't harvested my best plants yet but I can tell I will most likely break 3 ounces on 4 plants. This is just not possiable in 2 gallon buckets.
Very nice setup and plants by the way. Have you got a grow log going I look a little didn't see one by you?

Yeah without the space to grow, I'd have a problem fast in the new buckets, but now they can get huge and have more time to mature. I'm goin 2 gallon for veggin, except for the baby stage 0-2 weeks, they start in paper cups and dixie cups for the start. Then 5 gallon for the flower room. Are square buckets ok, seem like you could fit more, but the one I have thats square doesn't seem to drain as well, and it is very well draining soil mix with those volcanic rocks on the very bottom for even better drainage.

Deaner,
You have the potting schedule exactly right, nice pics looking very nice great work.

Now my worry is, will my plants in flower be out of the flower room before the ones in veg get too big? I'm thinking no, that they should be nicely lst'd and thick, ready to go nuts in the flower room. I'm gonna try to get a couple to grow (looking from the top) in a circle, the topmost portion of the plant will slowly go round the outside of the pot, making a circle (again, when viewed from above) that will grow vertically as a cylinder, with a deep hole running top to bottom for air circulation, should be some serious bud loading going on, on those, shit how many colas could you get, like 12? Bang, massive buddage for my long term storage.. Gonna try that radical lst plan on at least a couple plants, 1 each bubblegum and s.queen? If I have only 8 in veg, assuming half are girls, then I'm gonna be real short of my goal, 2nd grow, unless some clones make it. I may plant some more seeds, I really want a stockpile. 4mnbvcx444444444444444444444444444444444444 <-- kid had to type a bit, he likes the number 4. I may start some skunk/haze,big bud,mystery seeds, satori, 6 or so, I gotta have 6 under the lights at a time, 12-15 minimum when I get another 600 wt. Next batch of seeds will be ready to go flower when my vegging plants show sex, so if alot of girls, I'd need another 600 wt, pronto. And if only half girls, then I'm ok too. I can still get 6+ plants budding on my 2nd round. My end goal is 15 plants flowering at a time, always rotating out and in, am I on the right track? sometimes it's easier to feel smart than BE smart, ya know? I'm in that boat frequently. :stoned:

You have got the right idea:) best time to start from seed is right when into flower, becarful with quantity with 8 weeks of growing they will be monsters and are going to need room to breath. try and keep it down to 12 in a 4'x4' box.

how bout 12 or 15 in a 6.0' x 3.5' closet, bout 6' high? so 3 5 gallon pots deep, by 5 wide, definately fit, and add lst, plus the second 600 wt. hps? should be sweet huh?
