It just straight MGOS, Keep checking and I'll keep it updated with resaults.

I have seen other people in here carefully use tweezers to pick the shell of if it is stuck on, it may break of though?Quote:

So I checked the plant today, And I noticed where the fourth node up, There is a couple what look like little white hairs, Could this possible be showing the sex of the plant, If I switch it to 12/12 and its female, I would probly only get like a bowls worth lol.
I'll get a pic tonight If I can.
Quick question, Does any one know the kelvin rating on this bulb.
Its a 42 watt General Purpose bulb. I just picked up at walmart for like 12 dollares.
Heres a pic.
I guess its 2700k as it's a general purpose household bulb (90% certain), if you send a picture of it on then can guess a bit better. Look around the plastic base of the bulb it may say on that?
look at the picture attatched: you can work it out roughly yourself.
I have noticed The US and the UK CFL's vary in wattage usage and equivilence, eg. in the UK a 20watt (even an 18watt phillips brand) = 100watt output, for 150watt output, the bulbs are only 30watts.... strange???
Okay they seam to be a 2700k.
But Ill just save it for flowering.
I guess it will come in use one day.
So I noticed my plant has like white hairs at the nodes, Does that mean its showing its sex.
Another question do you have Aol Instant messanger Evil trees?
Because it seams like your the only one really helping me out.
Idk, Itd just seam alott faster then posting on here.
:rastasmoke:
Hey again, Sorry I dont use messenger programmes. Glad to help out on here though. I'm on the net as good as every night and most lunch times too (well UK time)
Your Plant may be showing its sex but it may be something else (well I forgot the name of them but they happen at every node) is there 4 in total all around the node (2 on one side, 2 the other?) But it could be pre flowers! - I would concentrate on your new seedlings though and stick to the veg light cycle even if they were pre flowers. Have you got them underneath the lights yet? on a 18/6 or 17/7 cycle?
Shame bout the bulb, at least it won't go out of date or anything!
Okay, Well atleaste you will be stoping by from time to time to help.
:cool: .
I'm going to take some close up picks here in a little bit and post them.
I just started the seedlings under the lights for 18/6.
But one plants looking a beauty, Even though it most likely will never make it to harvest.
why's that?Quote:

So heres an update.
My one plant at the first set of leafs has 2 little hairs, And at the top there four little hairs. I'm not sure what they are, If any one has an idea. I couldnt get a close up pic my cam sucks.
Look at the comparison, My plant at almost 2 months.
And my other plant at 2 days.
I remembered what they might be... bugged me all day, Stipules! they are probably stipules. are they on the stem? I doubt a plant of such small size is producing pistols yet. Your new seedling is looking good, Glad its under the right lights (5500k) and on the right schedule now. give it 10 days and it will have outgrown your '2 month' old plant easily!
Well theres like two on the stem, And the four uptop the plant are like on the two sides where it branches off. But not on the stem.
Yeah i wouldnt doubt it will sure pass the other one. Just two days its looking good and over 2 inch tall.
Sorry for updating so much.
Got home from work today, Decided I needed a new sett up, The other one was to ghetto looking. So I put this together.
Also what would be good plant foods to buy, That most local stores cary.
Like whats the Npk rating for vegg. And npk optimal for Flowering?
i use shultz with great succes 10-15-10 for veg and 10-55-10 for flowering but youll have to flush your plants once a month with shultz for salt buildup and it works great for me except i get a freakin MALES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn that sucks to get all males.
Well I think Im good with out nutrients till about a month in vegg, As my composit consists of an Npk Rating of 5-10-5.
How much does that stuff normally cost?
I figured I need about 50 more dollares for my totall set up to be finish, It would consist of 4 more 5600k bulbs, And a ph kit + A Humidity gauge.
And some nutrients.
nutes for shultz should be about 5 bucks each maybe cheaper!7 males out of 8 so far..
Alright so the nodes on my big plant, Have the more and more green like hair things growing off it, And theres also like alott of light green hairs at the top.
Ima post pics soon,
The other plants, Germinaited 4-5 days ago, And there already on there third set of leafs, And looking good.
Woot.
So my plants are 9 days in the vegg, I just picked up some... Mirical Grow All Purpose Plant food, With an NpK rating of 24-8-16.
When can I start using this?, Its 1/4 table spood per gallon of water correct?
My other plant I just started in 12/12 today.
Pics soon.
So heres some pics, I gave them a feeding of the fertz last night.
About half a teaspoon I added to a gallon of water.
About how ofton should I be ferting them, 7-14 days?
Temps at a constant 75.5
Day 10 of Vegg,
I wish more people would post to this.
Personally, I'd feed them with that stuff at 50% strength every third watering.
Keep up the good work, Bub! :thumbsup:
ps. and I like your new set up too.
Thanks man, I'm going to make another similar box, But bigger for flowering if I ever get there lol.
So about a half a table spoon, Every third watering?
Sometimes I have to water two times a day, Because the soil gets really dry.
You don't think it will over fert them?
Another question I have, I filled a gallon milk jug with the water and ferts, Can I just keep using that? Or should I change that water every couple days, Due to it becoming stagment? I watered my plants with the fertz yesterday it didn't even take nearly a quarter a gallon of water for all my plants.
maybe i'd use it later that day or on some other plants that need it but it's not advised to store most fertilizer once you mix em in water.
question, spike. how much water does each plant get that it dires up so quickly. The miracle grow is very strong chemically and the salts left behind by the plant can get to critical levels so it's important to see how much chems you're putting in the 1 gallon pails and the smaller peat pots. It's un-good to have too much ferterlizer and/or byproducts.
Good Luck
Thanks for letting me know.
I'm not sure on how much Im watering them exactly.
So I'll just guess about 2-3 ounce of water.
Ruffly that much.
I wouldn't be giving any nutes to those seedlings. Wait a couple weeks, they will tell you when you need to give them nutes.
I just don't want you to kill them off because it has happened to me, they look fine, then in a week they're dead and it is hard super hard to pull them back.
Okay, I fed them once, But it wasn't much.
I'll waitt off a couple weaks for the next feeding.
:thumbsup:
and start off week on the nutes and go stronger as they grow :thumbsup:
^Word.
So I let the runt grow up some more.
And just like two weeks look how big it got.
Glad I didn't ripp it up.
I'm for sure starting to flower in a couple days.
:jointsmile:
The plant is small but it is half grown (one month into veg). I would still feed it every third water, If it were in my garden.
Actually its a little over 2 months old.
But it had a slow dying start.
Im flowering it at the moment.
Im still going to feed it nutrients.
Saw your grow cab there, and you got some lights up top... they won't do much at all. A clf or flouro must be within a couple inches of the plant at all times.
I ditched the cab.
I got a differnt set up now.
With a closet covered in mylar.
nice lets see some pics :jointsmile:
I'll post some up here in a bit. If you look a couple posts ahead, I have to pictures of the plant I took today.
How are they looking?
I thought about flowering, But Im going to wait till the little one gets older,
:thumbsup:
