Day 13 .Growth has seem to come to a hault. Have no idea whats wrong .
Day 15. Growth is still kinda slow .So upped the dose on SUPERthrive(was only giveing 1/3 teaspoon to every gallon. Now 1/4 teaspoon to every 2 litr.).Gonna put it in to 12/12 Day 19 witch will be Monday
#1....your plants wont make it to flower like this with your lighting situation.
#2....you're gonna kill tehm with superthrive....you're supposed to use one drop per gallon...I can see going over that a bit but you're talking 1/4 teaspoon :eek: I would re-read the directions :)
While your attempts are ambitious and admirable, your lights do not provide the spectrum the plants need...nor do they posses the lumens you need now and will later.
But, I cannot fault you for trying :)
Keep up the effort.
Hehehe thanks for posting Hard .I was not gonna do the overkill of superthrive.Just was mad because the plants seemd to have a good start first couple days then boom. Not a thang but 1 set of leafs perday .Also what would be your suggestion about my lighting .I got a 250hps for flowering.If i make it to flowering .Just last year i vegg. 1 plant under one 4footer. And plant was atleast 10inchto a foot in 28days .So any input would be great from anyone.
Hello everyone. I need some advice.I thought i knew what i was doin. But as of now im reading every pieace of info i can get into my brain.Ok here's the advice i need. should i trash this grow or not.Because as i kept reading HARDDONS post he gave me.I now know that i know nothing about growing.also any help would be great asap
they wont bud..their way too young...cant go to 12-12
till around 8 weeks..
I am sorry someone threw that advice out there. That simply isnt true. You can go 12/12 as early as you want. By day 25, the plants, if raised properly, already have alternating nodes which indicates maturity in the plant.Quote:

BigBud.....
Your humbleness has me ROFLMAO....
Quite a change from your initial charge :D
Its not too late to fix your grow. No sense in trashing it....
But....you gotta whole lotta work to do starting with your grow room :)
Like get some mylar instead of the flannel shirts for the reflection :)
Yes, you would need to create a grow environment for your plants rather than forcing your plants to grow in your environment. And by the looks, it really needs some help.
You need to decide a couple of things...
1. How much you willing to spend. You have:
a) Lights
b) Fans
c) Ventilation
d) Odor Control
e) Nutes
.............you must be prepared to deal with these issues. You need some funds.....too many peeps come here with $12.00 worth of lights and wonder why they grow stick plants.
I have a 3.75 Sq. Ft. box that I have almost $1,100.00 into so I can grow tomatos. And I can only grow them in small batches :)
2. How committed are you? To grow good tomatos, you need patience, some learning and reading, and time and more patience.
You need to just think about these things. Once youre in the hobby of growing indoor veggies, you can get hooked. Addicted. Read some of Latewoods posts and look what can happen to you :eek:
Just think about it and if you decide you dont wanna fuck with it, thats cool too. Growing tomatos is harder than people think.
But as I said, many here will help if you decide to take the plunge.......
Many many good people here will help you... :)
Good luck.
Thanks HARDDON. And yes im addicted to growing anything allready.im willing to invest around 300-400$ .Its no where near the amount you have spent .But i only have 4 closet grows under my belt.And im more than willing to take the plunge .---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.Mylar where do i get it .(Do not like ordering).
2.Odor (Does not need to be controled)
3.Ventalation (i got a duct that goes from my hps to a fan outside of room.Then another duct takeing heat out .78 deg. when light is on.70 when light off
4.Nutes (never really gave none till this grow.(Got SUPERthrive as you know LMFAO) Any other nutes i need?
5.Flannal Shirts are not reflectng any more.

Ill be goin today to get 2 more 4footers with 6500k spec. bulbs in all of them.320 watts 25,600 lum's to vegg.This sound ok for 2 plants?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anything that im missing please inform me.Also Strains are Trainwreck atleast one of them should be lol.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mylar can be bought at hobby stores I think and also wal mart.
Where are planning to buy 4 foot 6500K light tubes?
If you can, buy instead the small CFL's. a four foot tube will wste far too much light for two plants. YOu want it direct and concentrated. THe way you currently have it leaning against the wall shining down will not work.
FLoros must be within inches of the plant top.
I mean an inch :)
So lets start with mylaring the walls and geting some good cfl bulbs.
lose the tubes friend.
Damn i wish i knew all this befor i started lol.Ok cfl's i know homedepot has them but what watt what color ?.And can just get same ol same light socket and wire it up my self .I decided to finish this grow of how its goin right now .Since last time i got an 1 and half ounce off 1 plant with 2 fluros put to it. So im just gonna finish this grow first.But as of right now im constructing everything.Gonna have a 3x3x3 cabnet made out of 2 inch marine board.4 cfl's comeing down from top .Coverd with mylar inside .One duct moving air in another duct moving air out.Then for flowering all i have to do is unscrew bulb's and clamp my hps to top.So ima have about 15 inch's to play with between the top of plants and HPS (Its 250hps ).I spent all half of yesterday and all las night reading and reading and reading and reading and reading.So now i got kind of a guide line to go by .But i will probally still need help .lol
