first grow log - only flouros for entirety of grow

get a moister reader there only like 5 bucks at HD. Good luck and yea check out Skillz thread it will be helpfull

i bought a moisture tester, a soil testing kit (which says i have too much of everything NPK each one is too much, and a ph around 6.5 but i really dont trust that empty a capsule of powder into soil water solution and shake shit) and a 150 watt halogen flood light

when i felt the heat comming off of that thing i was really surprised. and the light didnt seem to be even as powerful as the cfls.. i think i may take it back and get some 42 watt warm white cfl bulbs instead.

you guys help me weigh out my options by telling whats good about halogen flood lights... if anything at all that is....

thanks
Dion

No its good for nothing go and return that halogen light those are not good for growing

it was long gone the moment i read that... ty man, i got a 42 watt warm white cfl added to the mix now.

my plants are acting strange, will explain tomorrow

ty again

this is my problem plant as of now, some kind of burn to it. im really baffeled by this one guys. is it a heat burn from that damn halogen light or is it from nutes (of which i barely put any on at all, a good liquid substitute recommendation would be appreciated, right now im using those shitty granules.)

ill show some other pics of how they are doing.

i covered up my gargantuan hole. i cut a hole in the side put my little fan up in there facing outwards to promote suction. then i noticed the heat wasn't directed away enough so i covered it up with a box and put a hole in the side of it away.. you can see how its set up in these pictures.

then here are some pics of my best plant which my lovely beautiful girl beat the shit out of and ripped a leave to hell and back. but its ok it'll be fine.

here are the other two plants as they are today.

they have been reading completely moist except for the biggest plant which sucks up water better i guess so i haven't watered them since i complained of overwatering. im gonna let them dry out very well this time. the top layers of soil are very dry and crispy already but those damn roots are still very wet. ill let them get oxygenated before i continue onwards.

im growing concerned about the size of my grow space, but i guess i can bent the stems and hold them down, but this presents a future challenge. i got to stay stealth with all this business here, but all i can do now anyway is throw a blanket on top of it and say "weed, what weed?"

oh well thanks for all the looks and thank you very much for the comments.
someone tell me about the stretching situation. what does it look like now?
im getting small stalks growing out of the nodes so when am i going to be able to tell wether or not its male or female, i dont want to fuck this up after all the time i spent into it. you know, if you are gonna spend that much money on something then you want to reap what you sow.


adios muchachos

Hey all! I'm a newb to growing and want to know if having an Air Filter/Ionizer helps or harms the plants in anyway. My thinking is that it will help with the smell or help circulate air around. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

:smokin:

its all very nasty and what not, but i had a little ionic breeze car purifier once and i had fast food left in my car in the hot texas summer for like 3 days and i was alway smoking in my car and whenever i hopped back in there it was smelling like fresh air.

i love ionizers, but i think im partial to the ionic breeze, unless they all work that well.

well i tried to get these to work earlier, how bout that now.
