my first grow 250 watts cfl
Hi I seen that your growing is a good sucess over the number of days :) I was wondering have you any tips for growing because it's my first time. I have only planted one to start and its sprouting now. I'm still living at home with my mother so it's kinda hard for me to grow it while she's still there ha any tips on growing?

follow everything I did get quality stuff such as soil, ph meter( you can not grow without this, dont even bother trying),botanicare fertilizers, timer, keep a good watering schedule, a quality veg light of at least 250 watts possibly more depending on your grow area but that seems to do the trick, idk man just be consistent with what you do. Read stuff online, can't really tell you how to grow,but if you have any questions about problems I could be more specific. Make sure your getting good air circulation your living with your mom so I imagine that will be a problem for you,but it's gotta be done.

Looking good there Billy..
The plants seem to be going through a stretch. Have you thought of some low stress training ? This might be good to even out your canopy and let the light dissipate more evenly.
It will also give you more 'tops' as the lower branches start to get more light.
Nice little log going on :)
Take care

Billy,
Your looking good - Hopefully I'll catch up soon. You do need more LST/twisting/fim
If you would have FIM'd while topping, and topped twice in the process, you'd be about two weeks behind, but you'd have 3 massive short bushes instead of 3 trees. Check out my log and you'll see what I mean, I haven't topped at all, but I've taken several clones, and my plant is 1 month old, and I've already put her into flower (about 9" total) but only about 4" tall :D
Talk soon, I hope they yield well for you, take your biggest plant, and we'll compare that yield to my pineapple, see who wins :D
Oh, and I'm STILL only using CFL :D
But great job, looking good!
(Btw, sorry I haven't been around, got banned for mouthing off to toast)

Hey SL it's a lil too late for lst I believe i'm 3 weeks into flower,I did top one of them and it worked very well I have at least 6 main tops with many secondary ones. I did fim and I don'y know if I didn't do something right or whatever but it didn't really seem to do anything besides stunt growth and give me deformed leaves. As it was my first time topping I only did it to one plant. Next time I will be topping all of them numerous times cause it did wonders. What is twisting? From the pics you guys are looking at things have really changed I have not posted pics cause I have a little bullshit phone now. I just pulled out the digital camera today and I will post pics. I am definetley having some problems with yellowing and brown spots and dying leaves. Please check back with me later see if you can help me. How did your harvest go?

If anyone has any idea what the brown spots are excluding off PH and pests and overfeeding that would be very appreciated. I have already ruled those three out. I have no idea whats going on with them I'm losing leaves so rapidly if this keeps up I may be forced to harvest early. Unless I am under the wrong impression that if all the leaves fall off that the buds will no longer grow due to not taking in the light anymore. I know it's normal for some older fan leaves to yellow and die,but now the fresh leaves coming out of the buds are getting brown spots on them. I already tried epsom salt and cal-mag and nothing. One thing I have noticed is that when the lights go out and then come back on I can really notice more spots, so I believe the majority of it is happening in the dark cycle. I'm baffled it was really easy to veg them and everything was great, but once I switched the lights that's when the real test starts ,and you really start running into problems.
