NEWB,1st GROW, THOUGHT I'D SHARE EXPERIENCE W/ OTHERS FOR INPUT!

excellent advice, gotta let em breathe..

after the transplant just let them grow........


one love

hey i really appreciate the advice.. i really do think that it could be that the roots are not breathing properly at all..
really sucks , cause that means i have to go and spend some more money..
i have spent so much damn money on this grow!!! i hope that it produces good for me at the end.. it should. :D
my wife is just nagging and bitching about all the money i spend, but hey I can't lose my ladies... that's my biggest one too, the one that is starting to show possible yellow leaf's ...

*** i origianally planted the seeds in small peat pellets, and now they are 15 days old..
do you think that the root system has grown out of the peat pellets yet, or can i just dig around the plant to pull up just the peat pellets.?
and the reason i ask this is b/c they are already in 1.5 gallon pots, and transplanting means i need to transplant into larger pots, which i do not have room for...
but if i need to transplant into larger pots i guess i can find a way to make space...
thanks Mr. GrimReefer for your thoughts!

so last night i went out and bought a squirrelcage fan and set it up.. says that it will clear out 300 cubic feet per minute.. ( i think that my room is smaller than that.. )
so i hooked up one end of the dryer hose to the fan, and the other end through the ceiling and onto the hood of my light...
when i put my hand up to the hold on the hood where it is sucking i can feel decent suction,
but when i power on the light, in less than 10 mins gets to nearly 100 degrees F...
pisses me off, spent freaking 90 bucks on the fan and still doesnt do what i want..
i even cut a hole in the ceiling of my rented place to make it work, and still way too hott....:mad:
any idea's anyone..?????
home depot had those small window A/C units on sale for about 90 bucks, should i get one of these?
now there is not a window any where near my closet, so i can't hang it out a window, would it be okay to just set it at the base of the door on maybe a couple of crates.?
i really need somem help controlling the temp in there, so any input is greatly appreciated...

**** 1st and 2nd pic are from ontop of the ceiling, and looking in through the hold i cut in the ceiling..

3rd and 4th are just other pics from normal point of view.

oh yeah, haven't transplanted the plant yet, i'm kinda worried about it.. the 4th pic above is that plant.. you can see where the leaf's are turning yellow..
i guess if it is still the same when i get home, or worse, then i am going to have to transplant..
the soil that i put that plant in , you can tell came w/ small amounts of perlite if you look in the pic ( i didnt mix it in so it's not much ),
but is that enough, or should i transplant?
i just dont want to stress my lady, she is by far my finest!

oh yeah, planted my other 2 NL's that sprouted in paper towels yesterday..
now i've got 12 going!!

was looking through the threads, and my damn names was on there 8 times for the last post posted...
i ask a bunch of questions!

just want to say that i greatly appreciate everyones help, and input on the grow and issues that come up..
i'm one of those people that learns better from other's and being taught.. i dont really lilke to read, and take in too much what i read.. but i do!!!
hey but thanks, if i can be of any assistance holla at me!!

just cheefed a fat ass blunt, straight to the head.. just for you people!!!!!!
:cool: :D :rasta: :rasta: :stoned: :stoned:

here is a small update,
i put my plants under the MH now 24/0 and they are absoulutely loving it.. every time i look at them they are expanding a little bit...
i lowered the MH to about 3 ft above them as well, so hopefully they'll be getting little more lumens..
some of them are still showing signs of nute burn, but they are growing much more quicker than they're burning, so i guess things are in a decent stage right now..
12 plants going in there right now, so we'll see what happens..
if anyone has any input or advice that may make my grow a little nicer, please let me know..
( i'm sure no one does, the way these boards work.. got to be a professional grower here, in order to get some kind of input. )
doesn't mean i'm not thankful, just putting it out there how it is..
:pimp: :pimp:

You have to hang those ac units out the window. Or it will make your room hotter. If you rig up a rubbermade tub around it and seal to the window ,this works too. Mine is like that now. Or buy one for indoors like what you want it for. Just make sure it is at least 8000 BTU's or you are wasting your money.

lovin ur setup and process bro,im also a newb - but didnt read shit about growing before planting my seeds, still trying to germinate in the soil.. which was a big mistake!...Keep us informed with th process m8:D
P.S i'll post here when my plants finally decide to sprout;)

Hey SJ........sorry I haven't posted in a bit...life is a bit frantic right now ...............including my garden......

pics look great, you can probably agree now that the MH could have definitely waited a bit when you first started out as well as the small presence of nute burn. Seedlings just don't need much in the beginning, now it is a trial an error game to find the proper height for your light. Lessons learned, but hey you have a nice crop going now . Give your plants plenty of positive vibes and you're on your way to some killer oregano;)
