how am i doing????

hi new at this.. congrats on the new grow.. like mctuffet said, you need to get a fan running in the room.. just to cause the plant to move.. it can be pointed anywhere for now.. ideally you want to blow it at the light and push the heat up and away from your plant..

speaking of your light, you want to bring it as close to your plant as possible without burning it.. if you are using fluorescent lights and you incorporate simple airflow, you should have the light 1-2 inches from the plant.. keep us posted..

you rOCK

thanks for the info.

what kind of fan is best to use?

one that blows air....:p

come on guys i really need help here...would a wee table fan do the job??

LOL ahhaha

any fan..

: )

probably nothing that will blow your plant over and kill it..
oscillating is nice to have

yea a table fan will work fine.

garden knome konw his stuff. he wont lead you wrong.

as far as lights. i would get 2, on efor each plant. that would work well if you got those 100watt cfls. those things are beasts. but if you realy wat to get those pupies pumpin you could get another light to put down between them for side lighting. top lights only get about 1/3 of the plant, (thats info from zandor i believe)

i don'tknow if i would put a 100 watt inbetween them though because that could produde a good bit of heat and when they get bigger they will gro too close to it. you could mabe put a small cfl in the middle of them.

i like helping this guy. your A ok by me.

thanks alot for all the info i hope i get a good first grow.

is bat guano any good for feed???

and once again thanks for taking time to reply back :)

Bat guano is the shit. hahahha. yea bat quano works well. people like to make what is called guano tea. you put the bat shit in some water and get it pretty watered doen. then just water your plants with it.

Just a couple things...
1. Tear out the foil if you can have white walls - Foil absorbes your light!
If you can't get rid of the foil, use the DULL side. I know that means
more work, but you need to get as much out of your light sourse as
possible. Believe me, light is the most important thing to do right.


2. Think about your space - it looks pretty cramped. Read up on growing
in small spaces - "Cabinet Growing."
If you get them to maturity, it gets hard working around them and you
will be spending many hours at it. It's a labor of love, but my last
space was killing my back trying to reach far parts of the plants.

3. Think possitive, it may take a few tries to get where you want to go
with this, but it's not rocket science - however, sometimes I wonder ;)
