yea i mean i wanna transplant them really bad since there in the same pot and shit... but i'm sooooo scared that i will cut the roots figurein that they spread out and probably got intertwined and i would have to like surgically rove the plants from the dirt, you know what i mean....
unless i could just keep them together and move them into a bigger pot altogether but i'm afraid i just dont wanna fuck em up:(:(:(
does anybody have any tips on what i should do?????
just a couple pics but i really need the post above it to be answered it's like super important....
thankx
yes you can still transplant. you have to have some time available after to let the plants recover if you have to damage the roots. I'd give it 1-2 weeks after transplant before flowering. love the ghetto-grow-box.
thanks bunches golden graham i think i might go aheads and do it but i just dont wanna cut the roots but i cant think of any other way to do it. I was playing on cutting the soil like cake and moving the plants out in portions but i figured the roots would be all bound up and intertwined. i know i gotta saturate the soil to pick it up and out and everything but i never transplanted before and read up a whole lot about it over time, and all they do is transfer from 1 little pot to 1 big pot. instead for my need of transplanting multiple plants from the same pot to multiple pots...
shit, it's really easy to divide up plants like that (only a few weeks of growing together. You can either take a garden spade and cut between the plants and lift out the plant by the roots with the spade or you can carefully dump them out and using a hose, wash the soil and roots while you separate them. Then take the cleaned roots and spread them out horizontally in the new pot of soil (filled part way). Then fill in the rest of the soil. and water it in.

yea i was thinking of using a spade too but i'm wondering now how big of a pot to put them in???
anybody got any other ideas
Do not divide 'em. Think of them like ONE plant. So transplant the whole thing in a bigger pot or something. They'll grow well even if they are 2-3 of them. Just put them in something that have 2-3 times the normal capacity of 1 plant.
It will work.:thumbsup:
hey-
i would transplant into seperate pots. listen to Shovelhandle. planter size should reflect desired final plant size. with the grow "tent" :) you have, i'd go no bigger than 1 gallon planters. i re-read through this thread and noticed no one gave you any ideas for a CFL setup. here's mine. you could add some braces to it and make it a single unit for your tent. you could at least do one of the 3 bulb strips with Y splitters and run 6 CFLs.
Cool. Looks like your working your way up the ranks there, gettin your hands dirty and what not. I like your home made tent.
Here's what i would suggest. Finish this up and learn all you can from it. Hopefully you'll have a female you can take clones from. So take some clones and once they root pick out the best one and grow that one. Just keep it simple with one plant.
you have a bunch of CFLs already, so i would continue using them for veg. 1 plant with a handful of CFLs will veg fine. but come flower i would really take the advice of an earlier post that suggested a 150w HPS. They are incredibly cheap and readily available at Home Depot or Lowes. It won't throw much more heat than the CFLs and you will piss your pants when you see the buds that come up. And energy wise, 150w is NOTHING.
Once you get a bit more experienced, i would suggest looking into LST and SCROG. There are some great articles on maximizing yield with low wattage lights (Fluoros and up to 250w HPS) that i think you could really benefit from.
here's a quick glimpse: CannaStats - The ScrOG Technique
keep at it, you've done well considering the circumstances.
skeet.
PS - Just a quick search on homedepot.com gave me this Lithonia Lighting Bronze High Pressure Sodium Flood - OFL 70S 120 LP BZ M4 at The Home Depot
You can get a 150w-400w HPS light from HTGsupply.com for between $100-$150...bulb and shipping included.
Well im suprised there doing that well looks as light has burnt tham a litlle or a bit of nut burn.I personly use t5 for veg and 1000hps for budding.One thing you must do is give them each there own pot of soil 3 to 5 gal pot.If you wont any kinda yeald ate all your going to have to change the light sourse even a small 400 to 600hps would work but over all they dont look bade for the tools your useing wish ya all the luck and happy growing..peice out from humbold own:rasta:
400 and 600 aren't small. perhaps compared to your 1000. but a 600 throws tons of heat and ain't no joke. if he's using that tent he built...a 400 would burn it to the ground. i would say 250w max for his current setup.Quote:

It's certainly an attainable goal that you should work towards. But you've got a long road ahead. Just FYI and IMHO.
Big ups though. i really do dig that tent.
skeet.
PS- here's a 150w HPS, bulb and shipping included is $82 High Tech Garden Supply
Can't beat that.
thanks for the input GGQuote:

thanks skeet i will have to look into that. i knida wanted to keep my grow cfl, but i'm starting another one next week with a friend and we just could possibly use the HPS....Quote:

thanks...
oh yea i was think could i use a gallon Hawaiian punch bottle as a pot for my plant
That's usin' your noggin!!! Pure stoner intuitiveness. Everything i see i think "how can i use that in my grow".Quote:

The 3 light fixture is definitely at lowes. i got one there. in fact i posted in-store photos from another thread: http://boards.cannabis.com/indoor-gr...ml#post1929494
Those 3 bulb fixtures are awesome. Also, Lowes has 4' fluorescent fixtures for $8.98. They say that they are only for T12 bulbs, but i opened one up and the ballast says it'll run T8 bulbs. So you can't go wrong with a T8 fixture for under $10. I have 3 of them on my veg.
alright. keep it cool.
skeet.
i mean i went to lowes i just couldn't find anywhere but that is one huge ass store maybe i looked in the wrong place...but i was where the light bulbs and light fixtures are....
so today was the day i decided to transplant my babies:)
only i'm just so worried that with me doing so i might have killed them. i mean there still standing and all it's just that i had to push a lot of the roots down and gently almost into a ball to get them to fit inside there new homes...:(
but for the most part i think i did a okay job.:thumbsup: i'll leave it up to you guys to tells me what ya think???
Also take a look at pic 4.... is it bad to be able to see the roots on the top of the dirt like that???:wtf:
so is it okay to see the roots on top like that????
so...ummm....yea..... anybody.....help:(Quote:

Wanna fix it redneckstyle, (fast, cheap and easy)?
Just drop it into a plastic "bread-bag" and add some dirt until the roots are covered.
Now ya got a "bubba-pot."
Easy to upgrade as well.
Getta-bigga-bag, slit the old bag down one side and across the bottom, pop it in the bigga bag w/soil, then slide the old bag out.
No forget the drainage holes.:)

i sorry it must be because i'm stoned but i didn't understand what your sayingQuote:

thanks shov as of right now i'm still stoned on to the food
with that said i would have to transplant again right????:what::confused:
i sorry to keep asking but i'm the type of person where if i dont get an answer i'll jump the gun and do somthing stupid in which you, the guys here will usally helps me out...
i kinda think that the plants are doing okay considering their roots are kinda showing on the top and it has only been one day since the transplant.....
when do you think i should water it???? the soil stills looks pretty damn damp from yesterdays transplant, but tell me what ya think...
:( no more answers hun????:(

Do not shrink from it.
As an object, it is harmless.
An inexpesive, threadbare, towel.
Nor is the significance of it's arrival and prescence, cause for any real alarm.
It bodes only abandonment edged with regret.

one of the plants were droopy as hell but after i stop giving it water it started to perk up a little bit this morning. i just went out yesterday and found me a 3 light fixture and three y sockets:D i couldn't find those anywhere when they were actually right in front of my face. i didn't know they kept them in a glass case.... i guess cause so nobody steals them:wtf: but i put the light fixture together which really wasn't all that hard as i thought it would be and put it in the grow box. I also added one 23 watt soft white CFL in the mix. But since i only had 4 daylight CFL i thought i could keep a 3:1 ratio as it would be best right??? i was thinking of picking up so more soon for flowering on thursday but i already got 4-23 watt and 2-26 watt soft whites, think i need more???
i was planing on putting 2 23watt daylights as well as the 6 soft white ones on thursday, 3:1 flowering???
but anyway i gots to get back to this blunt:rastasmoke: more pics after i gets done....
OH YEAH THE LAST PIC WAS A FIM I TIRED TELL IF IT WORKED I THINNK SO?????
-M DOT CITY
nice... did i inspire you?
hellz yay gg a whole lots if i knew how to give you rep for it you would certianly be seeing some points from me.Quote:

EDIT: do you think that FIM worked?????:cool:
:cool: i thought i would just throw up some pics before flowering begins :cool:
it seems like the droopy one is starting to perk up a lil bit... see if you can point out which one that is...
also one the plants had a growth spurt out of nowhere and was pushed directly into the side of the CFL:( yes it got burned but hey....you live and you learn.
but enough rambling (I'm:stoned::rasta::rastasmoke::pimp::smokin::bong hit::S5::joint1::bong::rastabong::420thought: :rasta::smokin:)
on to pics....
can anyone tell if this FIM worked???
that FIM... hard to tell, but i'm thinking it didn't work. what i see is two new growths from that area. but i'm drunk, so don't take me too seriously. even if the FIM didn't work, at least you topped it. yay for 2 instead of 1!
as far as rep goes, there's a little old-school scale on everyone's post at the top. click that, and you'll be prompted whether you approve or disapprove of that person. comments are optional.
good luck man, hope you succeed! :thumbsup::jointsmile:
What kind of light are you going to use for flowering? Maybe hit up craigslist for a deal on a hps. I bought a hydro setup and a 600w with an air cooled hood for $220. You could also pick up a cheap 400w on ebay for a hundred bucks that would make you're plants bud like crazy. I'm just against the cfl's for budding since light penetration is so damn important.
nah not enough Cheddar for the hps plus it'll most likly burn down my grow box and/or house. but thats for stopping in wit the support turbo....
okay i'll post another pic of the FIM to see if you can see 4 instead of two.
cause i think i see 4:cool:....shit looks wild now:D
Dude, Man, thats BALLER! I think i'll try FIM on one of my clones. I'm also subscribing to this thread! can't wait to see it grow 4 big ones :)
oh there they are... nicely done! i'm drooling!
Hell yuh. Shit looks dolo. Yo your plants look good. Im gonna transplant "sylvia" today. Hope it goes good. Yours are looking good. Keep it up. If u go to homedepot shits a bitch to find -_-
