Most problems in life can be solved with enough lubricant and a hard enough smack on the bottom.

too big, well yeah you can but all that means is that the plant will grow LOTS of roots... a gallon per foot of main stem is ideal. If you have multiple main stems figure that into it too. A plant pruned young to 4 leaders is going to need more space than a plant the same HEIGHT with only 1 stem. First grows are for experimentation anyway.
well this is my first indoor grow so im still learning but to me its looking good and smelling good...now for the molasses could i do that up till harvesting
What are you growing - mj trees?Quote:

so should i try that next grow?
why wait?
i dont know?
where would i find info on flushing soil? is it just watering?
lol this thread is too funny, it just rambles along doing its thing....
go ahead and molasses-ize any time, even in veg it doesn't hurt, =CARBON SOURCE= plant mass. Look up the term 'brix' if yer bored; it's a measure of sugar content in a plant and an indicator of health. I give my vegging plants molasses maybe once or twice during the veg cycle for shits n giggles and because i get molasses so cheap at the 'used food' [crash n dent] store.
Flsuhing is more like rinsing than watering. I mean, you pour water into the pot, but not for the benefit of the plant as much as to condition the soil- well durr that benefits the plant of course but you know- there's a Zandor sticky on flushing somewhere around here but the basic things to remember when flushing are:
-use about 3 gallons water for each gallon of dirt, pour it through slowly so you don't splash dirt all over
-water should be at room temperature about, and with a pH that is correct. Now, I'm growing in buffered compost so I don't check my pH, also because I know my tap water is STABLE at 7 and my soil is lower.
-after flushing, water with your fertilizer at ~1/4-1/2 strength to re-condition the dirt
Tahts it, it's simple. Now that's also why you should use a lot of soil lightener, because it makes flushing easier and less stressful to the plant.
LOL, good one stinky. a little smack on the bottom and some lubricant. 2boys and 2 girls for me, i killed the males today, but saved some flowers in a paper bag for seeding. i used the very last of my seeds this yr and kept(still am) my fingers crossed that something good will come out of it. when this grow is over or i get a cam cord i will post pics. ive been taking pics along the way. later and good luck.
you wouldnt happen to know how many gallons are in 42.5 qts?
it'd be about 10.5 gallons...4 quarts = ~1 gallon
yea man id start 12/12 if i was you...and really nice plants man...mine was about 2 times the size my first grow because i didnt know it had to have 12/12 and i left the lights on 24/7...and you have a good light there man 7 hands...good grow...and post pikz after it matures a bit more and gets some bud...
ummm i made a lil mistake but its not too big the tote i got em in is 45 instead of 42.5 but theres no biggie....thanks, their my pride and joy. ive been smelling the biggest one and damn im wanting to cut it down and roll all of it into a paper and get blazed, but all things good come in time..i doubled up on the light instead of having just one up i got two
so to flush my dirt i need 11 gallons? wouldnt that over water it and kill it? just asking
you have to have drainage holes in the bottom for sure. then put it in your tub and water it slowly untill water comes out the bottom, then let it sit for a while and do it again, as many time as you need to. it wont over water it unless you dont have drainage. i did this to mine when i over fertilized then made a weeker solution of ferts and fed it after a couple of days.
oh ok...what if you dont have drainage holes?
If you don't have drainage holes you need to make some in there quick as you can. Without the ability for the roots to get some air to them by draining out the water the roots can suffocate from being too wet which will cause root rot. Do you have a drill you can use?
yeah i do i was just wondering
i was wondering something else...i know your not supposed to use incandescent if thats how you spell it...but would it do any good to use softwhite bulbs?
no matter what incandescent bulb you have, it still produces a lot of bad heat, and you don't get as many lumens per watt as you would with a compact fluorescent bulb.
well i dont really have a problem with heat at the moment though so should that still be a problem? i dont mean to sound like a smart ass but my crop is still looking great though heres a recent pic....if its blurry sorry
if i had a choice i wouldnt use the incadecent lights, i wouldnt even try. you can get better.
well i didnt have a choice i just used what was on hand and so far its doing good i mean its just bag seed
true but if you do decide to invest any money, the first thing I would put my money into, would be lights.
#1=lights
#2=air cooled hood
trust me on that one!!!!
if there is any misunderstanding , it is on YOUR part, smartass - Stinky is trying to help you, you should pay close attention to her - re-potting is a simple as anything you will ever do with plants - if you can't re-pot a plant without killing it, you should NOT be trying to grow a simple weed, it is obviously beyond your capabilities - :smokin:Quote:

what assholes? the only asshole here is you sorry to say that but the shit with me and stinky is in the past too bad that you cant understand that.....i know i need to invest more money into my growing but right now in my life i dont really have the money it takes when im trying to pay off a fine thats close to 4 grand just to stay out of jail, this what im growing is just regular bag seed that i liked so if i dont have that much at the end i dont really mind, like youve said i think. first grow=exprince(dont know if i spelled that right been out in the sun too long today)
I got the molasses, and I need to know how much I should mix in with a gallon of water? Is unsulphured golden molasses okay to use?
WOW looking amazingly good for incandesants. Usually they just stretch to shit. I suggest you look into getting some floros to finish up your grow. You can get a nice setup for 60-200$.
thanks, theres a nice sticky bud forming on the top and damn it looks good....anyone care to answer about the molasses? would it hurt if i mixed a little into a spray bottle and sprayed some on the bud/plant itself?
well if you start out with it close enough but not too close so it burns and you start out with the right bulb, i started with a grow light bulb that i bought at the trusty wal-mart well that burned out and i switched to regular light bulbs, but you can see that it aint doing too bad for bag seed, but i wouldnt grow bubblegum under it
spraying stuff on the plant itself with cause burn spots. not sure of this but it may stress the plant from that?
and i thought molasses is one of those things you use in like the 2nd to last watering?
stinky said that you could use molasses up till harvesting, some plants can take water in through their leaves though, ive been watering them like that as well as with watering the soil and you can look back and see the pics of my plants, the most recent one is just the other day...dont mean to sound like a smart-ass
