pics
#1 my new lighting "arrangement" haha ghetto rigged i know, but its studry and its doing the job
#2 30/60 sprout, its now like an inch and 1/2 tall
wow is this the most popular thread around or what, i went away came back and just spent half an hour readin 3/4 of the posts! i cba to read the rest so i scanned most of them sorry guys.
c no ones answered ur q bout nodes - nodes are the umm i forgot the word, the place where a leaf grows, i would upload pics but i cant... if you look at a plant and follow the main stem up untill the first branch comes off that bit is called a node (where it joins or forms). Trichomes are the crystals on the bud.
Feel free to correct or expand on anythin i say ppl
Below i have 2 diagrams that show you exactly what the node is and wht and were to find trichomes.
thats what i ment lol
yo im back home now but before i left i put 2 more mids seeds in pots that had been germinating, so hopefully by the time i get back (on sunday) they will all be growing/at least sprouted.... i watered them generously before i left as that i'll be gone for a while
Happy turkey day weekend and be sure to get cfls 3 or so inches away from your plants once they have established some roots.

hey thanks for the info, what kind of cfl's do u reccomend and how many? do you think those aluminum housing things will work good for the cfls? (the domes i have my lights in now?) how can i figure out the roots are good and solid?
Nice setup, i'm using miracle grow,, its the only thing i can get my hands on. This thread is quickly becoming very educational lol, i reckon by the time you harvest you''l be a pro ;) goodluck!

You can find mylar at wal-mart. Just go to the camping section, look for those emergency blankets that look like shiny foil. Only $1.98. Works like a charm.Quote:

You see the "kelvin temperature" they refer to? A higher number = more blue-ish white looking light, a lower number = more reddish white looking.
Yes, the "domes" you have your lights in work great for CFLs, although I found out that I got better light distribution without the dome part on. You can also pick up some chains or rope to hang the lights from, the clamp just clips right on to the chain. I took the reflectors off and hung a lot of them close together, so each light wasn't just focused on one plant. It wastes a little light, but you get better light coverage overall.
How many plants are you planning on vegging? You want at least 1 42 watt bulb per plant, preferably more. Remember, more light = more growth.
If you wanna see some pictures of what LST'ing does to plants, look at how many tops mine have from tying them over. I can count 44 one one of them :)

New pics are on page 2 :rasta:
Also, i use that Scotts Seed Starting mix for starting seeds too, then transplant to Fox Farms Ocean Forest (best soil ever made for pot) and use the fox farms fertilizer system. You should be able to find that at your local hydroponics shop. In my case, there isn't a local one, but its worth the drive.
As far as the roots, you won't be able to tell til you transplant. But one good indication of big healthy roots is a big healthy plant. Pot size also helps determine plant size. And always remember ONLY ONE PLANT PER POT. All sharing pots does is increase your chance of having a problem, and makes plants fight for nutrients/space.
Your lights still look a little far... Have you tried 2 hangers?
wow i completely FUCKED my plants
i was back home (im at school where im growing) for thanksgiving, i was gome from mid day wed till now (6:44pm sunday) i came home not able to wait to see the progress of my plants well yeah, one of 4 sprouted and the 2 that had already sprouted died, im home now so i'll be able to see if i can revitalize them or fix them or w/e but im thinkin fat chance, my friend just got a fat sack of some nice bud with a bunch of seeds so i plan on planting those if theres dont turn out as planned
here are pics
#1 this one was the mids that sprouted and died
#2 this one was the mids that sprouted and died
#3 this one grew and died when i was gone
#4 grew like 2 more inches and died (dro plant)
#5 my set up
i plan on going to get cfls tonight or tomorrow
what should i do, new plants, or try to revive these
LOL dosent sound too good from all the seeds.Quote:

Yea u gotta water them regularly, they are like a baby u dont feed her, she dies of starvation. one way 1 remedy this is to build a Deep Water Culture Hydro system, u never have to worry about regular feeding, its allways in water
sorry here are the pics for above
it was nice because it was like some middle breed between mids and dro, it was wierd, there were like no seeds for mids, but for dro it would be considered a lot u no what im sayin? the bud is awesomeQuote:

i did do a lot of research all over various websites and forums and i talked to poeple who grow, they told me this would get the job done, what have i not done? i posted this thread for peoples help, gimme some input if u know so muchQuote:

well i removed all my mids plants so that i only had the one dro plant, i revived it and it was standing up straight again so i moved the lights together and closer like everyone said and i went to work out, came back, and it was fucking deader than anything so fuck these plants, im starting over from scratch, ima do it right, mylar, fans, bigger pots, new seeds, new soil, and a fuckin hps light
how many watts should i get in the same amount of room i used before?
i wouldnt use a hps for veg if thats what ur planning, mh are better as they have the rite spectrum, took me months to get around the light problem, i thought i new it then somethin else would come thru.. im not listenin to what anyone says bout lites now as i got mine and dont wanna go thru it again lol.
how big was ur grow room? i forgot soz. I went tru lites wiv someone told the all about how many lumens per sq ft and all bout lumens from the sun ill try n find it...
that was itQuote:

Hey, aznson. I'm glad you decided to take it seriously this time around. :thumbsup: Do your research, and it will pay off, seriously.
Yea, bro, you can't really leave little sprouts like that for days unattended and expect them to live. But, meh...good you killed 'em now and had that experience instead of killing them after a month or 2 and having to start all over then.
Give your room a makeover. Mylar or matte white paint on the walls. Get some good lights (CFLs and/or HPS or T5 lights) Keep them as close as you can. Ventilation is champ...Then you will be on the right track.
Good luck. Looking forward to your new grow. :greenthumb:

i'll post the link as soon as i post it, i already got mylar i just have to put it on the walls, and i got 4 42watt cfl's rated at 150 watts with like 1950 lumens each, 2 more of those lamp clamp things, my set up will be similar but much improved i cant wait till tonite, i got a bunch of seeds germinating as we speakQuote:

o i cant wait haha i got a thermometer too and a time release watering thingy
FUCK ME i just noticed this, i already had one 42 watt bulb and it was rated at 2700 lumens, the ones i bought are the exact same thing (42 watts but puts out like 150 watts) but the lumens are different the one i bought earlier puts out 2700 lumens and the 3 i just got only put out 1950 lumens, is this a problem for like 4 plants? i'll have 600 watts total, is that enough? am i going to need to switch cfl's to some other tyhpe of light? ive heard of grows with cfl's for veg and flower, i hope i'll be able to, if i need to buy mroe i will
1 cfl per plant is gd, if you have daylight spectrum (lots of blue and red spec) that will alow u to veg and flower under one lite, wish i could build a proper grow room, start ova, get lots of cfls, get 1000 watt hps, get mylar all over, proper heatin and water, correct watering technics... Man all my research and i still didnt do it rite!
first, im also gald your starting over. ill try to watch your next better and help anyway i can. here some pointers to start you off. if you got to go soil and cheap on soil then go with Sta-Green flower planting mix from lowes no nutes. its a 1 cu. ft bag and mix it with a 8 qt. bag of Schultz perlite. i like to put a layer of rocks in the bottom of my pots when using soil. i have found plants love this mix. with this mix and anyway i go i go with Pure blend pro grow and bloom, karma, and super thive. go Mh and hps or if only one then hps. if not in budget then cfls, (lots of them) cool and soft. mylar or black/white poly if not flat white paint.
perlite and super thive from walmart. if your getting hps then try to wait to start then. i would do hps for both veg/flower before cfls for veg and hps for flower, but cfls for first week. with hps you will need to think about venting the grow room. "heat" i did the same light thing your doing in the begining. got to walmart in the lights there is a that light fixture that replaces the fixture on bottom of your ceilingfans that holds 4 light bulbs in the same amount of space that yours do. two of those would be 8 cfls in the same space you have two. but this will that some basic wiring on your part. just get exten. cord and elc. tape. and mount on piece of wood and hang works great for cfls. ill try to find some of my old pics.
sta green, i'll pick some up today...i have scotts perlite, i'll get some rocks, any kind in particular, whats "pure blend pro grow and bloom" "karma" and "super thrive" im doing the 42 watt cfl's i plan on getting more i have 3 right now, i already put mylar all over the wallsQuote:
