since im tight on change i dont really want to go buy a 3 gal pot when i got so many alternative right here in my humble aboud. i have seen many pics of people growing in 2 L pop bottles. could i just cut off the top 1/4 or more of the bottle and put some holes in the bottom and use that? just wondering.
lololololololololollololololol
Thanks for a good laugh
Go to Home Depot and buy the 3 gal like Garden Knomn suggested...you can even buy the clay pots for a few $, they are cheaper then plastic...it may make a big difference.
Stop using tap water....try spring water at the store.
I am using the same 2300 lumen cfl you got a HD, and my plant is 1+ ft tall and 1+ ft wide at over a months age.
lololololol
thanks ill do that. one question what would be a good ONA to buy? i saw a thred that showed a way to make a thing that will deorderize the roon. and it says you need an ONA. what is it? because its starting to smell
got more pics day 38. it wasnt looking good but that was because it was a little dry and i vaugly remember closing my window last night b4 bed which cut off new fresh air flow to my baby. so a lot of the lower fan leaves turned brown and libped over.
tried to get them as clear as possible
ok just got some more info. in side the grow area it is at 21 C or 70 F with 50% humidity. is that too cold or too humid?
no that temp is fine and so is the humidity.. but the plant is not FINE : (
I like stupids suggestions regarding spring wate.. I'd go a step further and transplant and use distilled water...
You got to get that plant out of that container.. it is haveing some aversion to the nuts in that soil.. you need a bigger pot... and not a soda bottle... lol .. nice try..
any big container will do.. shit, if all you have is 5 gallon pots, go 5 gallons...
see if you can get a bag of perlite to mix with your new soil.. perlite is 3-4 dollars for a big bag.. mix that with the soil.. 30% perlite 70% soil...
oh yeah.. and stop spraying the leaves.. bring everything to a hault.. just plain distilled water in some new soil.. let her get stable
thanks. i moved her to a 5 quart bucket with about 10-15 holes poked in the bottom. and i switched to bottled water. now i have a question shes at day 39 from seed and i dont have much more room going up with the light and all. so if shes going to double or even trip in size when i put her into flower, i wolnt be able tokeep her in there any more. i have no other place to put her. so should i put her in flower soon?
i was also wondering if i could use the FIM technq. in order to increse my yeild?
Johnny, post another pic would ya...
FIM?
You will need to pull her over.. meaning you will slowly need to bend her over to the side and tie her down.... this will obviosly make her shorter and give you more vertical room... you can do this using.. strings, sticks, tacks, twist ties, etc
unfortunatley she is not 100% healthy and it would be a shame to flower her when she is nt in perfect health.. onthe other hand, if you are running out of room, you have no choice..
ok i know im might get scolded for this but i trimed some of the lower leafs off because they were looking really bad (pre- re potting) so now she is fat from one side and skinny on the other at day 40. got some pics too. and one of my goofy eyed dog.
i brought back the lighters in these just for you GK. thats right lighters, as in two.
if i could do that to one of the flat sides it could add about 4-5 inches plus what i have left. that would be great. how should i go about doing that?
ok so i tied it down with some green plant wire. and took some pics. looks really good. and shes starting to smell great i mean bad i mean skunky?
sorry lost signal here are the pics
nice, bend, looks like she is getting ready to take one for the team.. LOL
and yes you are busted.. no more trimming leaves.. she has enough problems withouut you being concerned about the aesthetics of her backside...lol
after you transplanted her, you should drench the soil with 120-150 ounces of ph 6.5 water... and then don't water it again until the top 3 inches of your soil are dry..
I will be gone for a couple days.. but MY thoughts will be with you and your goofy as plant that matches your incredibly cute and dorky ass dog..
word to your mother
i love you
ok so day 41 less than one full day since the bend. and she is looking really good and smelling amazing, just like the muther bud. her top has already turned up and almost all the undergrowth has turned strait up so now i have 7 places comming up ( not including the top) so 8. sorry no pics today the batteries on my cam died last night as i was taking the bend pics. so ill replace them and get some pics tom. and i still need to know what a good ONA is? thanks a lot again.
got some more pics sorry they werent sooner. its day 45 of veg. and shes lloking good i think. i accadently moved a lamp and didnt know i did it till later but when it moved it was laying against a new growth spot on the plant and it burned it. im kind of mad at myself for that. but anyways here they are. i tried to get a pic of the burn too. and the very tips of some of her leaves are kind of dry and brown. if you look at the bottom middle of the second pic you can see the burn from today. lucky it wasnt the kola or any other big grow spot.
heres some more
the fifth pics above is a pic of the burn site not to clear but you got the idear. hears 2 more.
shes likin her new home. how do yall think she looks. i know Garden has some knowlegable (sory high and exosted from GWAR concert) input. all is apreiciated.
Johnny C.
I like it!
What are you going to do with her? SoG? LST? SCRoG? All of the above?
I really, really like her. She's short... bushy... thick stem... lots of leaves... Nice!!!
thanks turtle. i dont know this is my first time so i was just planning on putting her into flower and letting her go. but i dont know when to put her in. what method would be easiest and produce the most? ps i like the red eared slider on your pic. i have 4 of them myself all ALIVE too.
i have another question. is it normal for there to be 9 leafs on the kola but 7 or 5 leafs other places?
got some more pics of day 45. i tied down all of the big branches to let them get more light, more bud points, and to keep her short. she looks good too. i really hope shes a she.
some more
uno mas
damn that is an ugly ass plant.. but she is growing.. thanks for all the pics...
don't worry about the burn.. we all do that now and again..
the bend is turning out real nice... you can flower her at anytime...
have you taken a clone?
Have we established that this is a female plant?
keep up the good work JOHNNY... i really dig your perserverance and comitment to your lady!!
thank Knowm im very faithful to my ladies. but wtf about it being ugly? i think it beautiful if it is a she. if not i fing kill it dead. very dead. then bring it back to life and kill it again. sorry just dont want HER to turn put a mail. if it is a she would i want a clone? i mean with her being a mutant and all
sorry for all the posts im just excited and this had kind of turned out to be a grow log hasnt it? sorry
its starting to smell. i need something that i can make that is small and effecient. if theres something cheap that i can buy i might have to. it gets worse every day. luckily it doesnt travel to the upstairs but it wouldnt be long.
Build a carbon air scrubber...
You can make a search for "carbon" "scrubber", "filter" on these threads... I know that Zandor has posted a couple of times how to make one... Search his posts...
And/or you can go to Overgrow's FAQs... they have a scrubber how-to with pictures.
Out of curiosity... Today it would be her 45 or 46th day of 'flowering' ? or 'vegetative' ?
I'd like to know so I can have an idea as to when my plants will start to smell skunky.
Thanks johnny
-turtle420 :cool:
today is the 46th day of veg. i saqw some of those threds you speek of but all of them are too big i will look for a smaller one thanks.
ok today is day 3 of 12/12 and she (i hope) looks great. i was checking her out and i dont know for sure if what i saw was what i wanted to see. i dont know if the pistles come out after 3 days? but here are some pics ill get some closer ones later. they look the same but there all different pics.
fuck YEAH!!!!!!!!
ok so i bought a timer but it only times in 4 hour intervules. so is it ok to have 4 h on and 4 h off and so on and so on?
what?
NO
your flowering right?
they need 12 hours of continuous dark and 12 hours of continuous light....
congrats dude... johnny they look pretty decent..
did you take clones?
ok i thought that the 4 on 4 off thing wasnt right thats y i didnt do it. and no i didnt take clones dont really know. iv tried on other plants but i can never get the roots to take. but is it to late to take some? its day 4 of flowering.
no, it is not to late..
I guess "we" can wait until it shows white hairs...
if you can, get this stuff
razor blade
rockwool cubes
root gel or root tone
wilt spray
you will get some GOOD clones!!
: )
how long will it take to know if shes a she? my problem is space. i really only need enough for me and a clone for a friend. so three four?
