pics LST
if you broke off the actual top of the plant, you "topped" it. now growth will slow for a bit but you'll now have two colas (main tops). this is a good thing. you can continue to top the main colas and end up with probably 4-8.
are the leaves spost to be like this when i LST? They are curling in all kinds of fucked up ways?this normal gg84? And damn for this little, this thing sure does put off sum smell! like a bunk ass homegrown smell :weedpoke:
K im bout to move the operation to the garage. My 22nd birthday is coming up so might have people over, so i dont want them to see this. This is pics to my soon to be Grow Box. Might i add its much bigger! The dimensions are 6Ft High x 4Ft Length x 2Ft Width. I added 2x's 3inch PVC for "Passive:" intake. On left and right bottom
**Now is PAssive intake NO FANS suckin In? On the Top i plan to "Get" a inline exhaust fan but if not i am gonna cut 4 holes with 4 CPU fans for Exhaust.
***Now will this pvc turned at a angle trap the light from escaping from the bottom or am i gonna have to make it a sharper Angle?
**** Okay i live in a frezzin ass cold place. I plan to insulate the box. Sumtimes it does get below 0 do you think with a small space heater this will keep it warm enought when the lights are off?
*Plz any suggestions to the cold would be GREATLY appreciated. And answer to all questions would be Cool:thumbsup:

good lookin grow. im doin a micro grow. my box is like 4 feet wide foot and a half deep and about two and a half feet tall. but i am planning on doin somethin like your box your buildin. hope your baby turns out good.
cfl grower quote-"i do because i can,i can because i want to, i want to because you said i couldn't"
no, that leaf curl isn't normal. i'd check the plant problems area on the forums. maybe start a new thread and fill out the troubleshooting form. love the grow box! now as for the freezing temps, i'd pick up some reflective insulation. its like bubblewrap covered in a mylar-like film. you can see it in my pic of my lights. that with a small space heater should keep it good. yes passive intake is no fans in, all fans out. and yes the pvc pipe will need a sharper angle. keep it up, sorry for not posting for a while.
I did sum looking on the curling. Sumone says it is in genetics. Thx for all your help. Here is a few updates on the plants. Seem to look okay. I can notice new shoots all over the plant. The spot where i topped is growing back with 2 more shoots. Anyways ill get another pvc and angle that more. And i will be looking for mylar insulation. Also Do u think that if i use regular insulation and staple that Mylar blanket that will be the same? And im thinking of adding another 100-150 watts of cfls once i move to the Garage. Also i seen 4ft Flouro reflectors and ballast at habitat for humanity with bulbs in them for only 9.99. Should i Probally pick 2 of theese up?Quote:

it says so in my Jorge Cervantes Book

the improper pH won't help the plant, thats for sure. since you're in soil, i'd get a mid-range pH tester at any aquarium/fish store (maybe even wal-mart). i got mine at a local fish shop for 7 bucks. good for 200+ tests. stay away from the test strips as even touching them with bare skin can cause deviations of true readouts. the kit i bought has a little vial that you fill to the 5mL mark and add 2 drops of test solution. shake it up, and read the color against the chart provided. there are some ways to adjust pH without buying the "pH up/pH down" stuff. research the boards here and you'll find them, but i'd reccomend getting the real deal.
the mylar emergency blanket might be perfect. they are engineered to keep heat in, so why not?
those 4' fluoros might be worth a look, but i tried 2 of them of either side of my current grow and since removing them (about 2.5 months ago), i've noticed no decrease in growth. couldn't hurt though. all depends on how high your folks will let the electric bill creep up. :jointsmile:
Thx for advice gG84. Today is my Bday Whoo.. Canceled people coming over due to i have not completed the box. But i am going to work on it right now! Here is sum Pics from today
-Swish
happy birthday! :jointsmile:
Thx! heres sum pics of my "Gurl" Anyways looks alot better I flushed a little cuz the soil u been usin since seedling is MG with NPK. So the leaves perked back up and it grew alot more in 1 day then 3-4 days. So hopefully more will come. Will have pics of the box i was workin on tomarrow. Peace

damn those are some fat leaves lol
Is this Indica or Sativa Dominant. and How can i tell for future Reference?
-swish
looks sativa to me.
fat leaves, stocky plant usually = sativa
thinner leaves, taller plant = indica
just so you know, sativas usually require a longer flower time.
I think you mean the other way around
Sativas have tall thinner leaves and Indicas have short fat bushy plants
but yea, sativas take longer to flower
yeah my bad. i was WAY drunk on 151 when i posted that. and the 7.5/500 lortab didn't help. sorry to all for inaccurate post!
haha 151 = EVILQuote:

Should i start tying down the side shoots off the main stem. Also i topped the main so side branches are taller than main shoot now.???? Anyways Here's Pics and Yeah 151 is sum good shit. If u like drinking fire
-Swisssh
also this is a 8 1/2 inch pot am i gonna need to transplant?
Aite, I lst'd Some more and Things look to be going alright. Got to be close to day 20 maybe less i dunno. When should i start to add nutes. And whats is the cheapest that i can purchase. Got to be low don't got massive cash on hand right now. But if its a must i will proceed to "get" then anyway possible.
Here is sum pics.
-Swisha
First Pic is a little inspiration i put up in the grow room to persuade
Last Pic is fucked up. No editing just took a picture and that was the outcome.
Definitely bout to tr to save for two of these. 1 for 20 , 2 for 40 i could just Use cfl's for veg and 2 of theese lamps for buddinz. Anyways tell me what u think. http://www.e-conolight.com/Product/E...ber=E-MT6H151G
got to click link twice for sum reason
swisha the Ph kit is like $7 its made by general hydroponics, comes with a little vial and small bottle of test solution, like GG said I have it work good,
for cheap nutes I don't know what kinda stores you avail but the alaska brand is cheap its what i started with veg&bloom like $12 bottle ea. gallon i have seen like quart size for $7 at a ace hardware thats enough if you can find it. if you can spend a little bit more like $45 bucks I highly recomend using the fox farm grow big$15/tiger bloom$15/big bloom$15 as its not too much more.the FF comes in quart size bottles sometimes you can find them in a 3pack for a little less. do you have a hydro store near you?
oh yea amost for got they look hungry might start nutes soon 1/4 strenght what do they say the 5th node I ferget you can if makes easier get the FF nutes seperate you'll have too get the grow big and big bloom rite away can wait on the tiger for flower stage it says too start feeding 2 week in FF nute schedule.
let us know if you get that 150watt HPS seems kinda hard to believe its only $20 fixture ballast and bulb . lol if you don't get it you can use 3000k CFL's
I picked up a case 24ea of them 2weeks ago for $12 thats 50 cents a piece got a deal power companay subsidized them..sweet l8trs good luck
Hell yeah thx for The Info Man. In fact i have been talking to sumone who purchased that 20$ HPS 150 Lamp. It DID In Fact include The Bulb BALLAST and 3way power cord for ez hook to an extension cord or wall cord. I will diffidently try to get this b4 Flowering. But if not that's cheap enough for CFL's.
As for the Plant "She looks good" today has got to be close to a month or so of Veg. Still on 18/6 Light. Anyone Know how much longer till Sex? Im not too worried about it. If its a male i guess try again till i get a female to clone off Of. Anyways Here is sum pics of "Her" today. Thx for all the post and Advise Hope to Keep this post going for a while.
-Swishhhhhhshshshshaaaaa
Maybe female preflower in last pic I dunno i just see 2 little poke things coming out of everywhere
Growing in your parents house with them not knowing? Not cool, not cool at all.
Yo, Read Up to the part in the Post where they find out and it IS okay to grow as long as i keep it on the D/L. So sorry. Growing in my parents house with them knowing is Cool.... Very CoolQuote:

Its all good yo:S5:
Looks good. What exactly did you do to start the LSN, as well as breaking off the top to produce 2 tops instead of one? I'm new to this and am about to start my first grow soon so any help on these two subjects would be great. I hope it turns out to be a female.
Its LST and all i Did was wait for the 4th node of leaves to start then i put a screw in my pot. the i just used twisty ties on the plant and used fish line to tie the twisty's down. As for "topping" it was accidental but beneficial. all you do is cut the top upcomming leaves. Look up "Growing Marijuana Topping" in google and "growing Marijuana LST" thats where i learned all my stuff. Pays to do research =D
-Swisha
preflowers could start soon. keep an eye out and make sure you're familiar with what male and female preflowers look like. or you could temporarily put them in flower to sex them. either way, looking good & good luck!
I haven't grown for a few years, but it looks like your preflowers are in fact female flowers. The plant looks good. Have you considered trying to open the middle of the plant up to more light by tying its branches down. I did this with some super silver haze a few years ago and had nice buds almost down to the base.
hey nice grow dude, i'm doing my first right now. i'm on a 16/8 light cycle. should i switch to just always on? i'm only on day 3 after sprout. and for watering ive been using a spray bottle and spraying it every morning. should i just dump a bunch of water on there like every other day instead?
I just let mine go for a few days then water it. I Left mine on 24/7 for first 1 1/2 weeks now i am on 18/6 and i think the Plant likes it more. I wouldnt dump a bunch of water on it might plop it over :mad:Quote:

Speaking of wich bout to blaze a swisha right now:S5:
Last Pic is 100 and 8th shit. Looks bad pic but looked Beautiful in real life !!!
Nice grow man!
If you plan to flower with CFL...I will go with that so I planned myself up.
6 x 42 watts 2700k cfl per plants in a really small closet with white walls
putting 2 at the top, 1 each side and 2 pointing up on the floor. HPS is costly for me right now.
Are your veg. lights 6500k?
2 are 6500k my two 65w are 4100k and i have one 3000kQuote:

damn, been busy eh? :jointsmile:
yeah, use the rose fert. the other will definitely give you nute burn. neither would be great for flowering though.
whoa, whoa, whoa... $100/eighth? damn man, that's outrageous. hope it was REALLY fat and REALLY good. i've never paid more than $60 and eighth, and thats usually from the "white" family (white rhino, white widow, white russian) which is some of the most potent stuff around. had a buddy who paid $70 for light of jah but i never got to try it. :(
yea ive never EVER paid more than 50$ for an 8thQuote:
