Grow update, multiple stage plants

Hey there! Here are some pics of the garden!

I'm gonna make 2 comments in this, so I can include all the photos.

These pics are of the flowering plants. Their harvest time is late June, but It seems they might be ready even sooner. The single plant in the pic is a bag seed that turned out to be a Sativa, so we moved it into flowering early, and it's already huge! I'm worried about room size.

Because of blower issues, we haven't been able to move the plants into the area we wanted to grow them in. Hopefully either tomorrow or this weekend we'll have both our flowering and veg in the same area, and the blower and filter completely set up. I know they the flowering plants can't stay where they are, or at least they can't stay that close to the light.

We're using a 400w HPS for flowering, and Jacks Classic 10-30-20 blossom booster for nutes

Nice setup... What kind of nutrients and are you using CO2?

Here is the veg closet, it has a lot going on. There's 3 plants about 1-2 weeks away from flowering, 3 seedlings, 4 potted clones (1 is weak and I'm expecting it not to last though), and 4 clones in a home made hydro system (btw those pics are in the hydroponics forum if you're interested)

Veg is under a 2 bulb HO T5 Fixture, and they're being fed Peters 20-20-20

We're not using CO2 right now, but growth and health don't seem to be affected, and it's a small garden. I just can't wait until we set up the blower and are able to keep the plants where we want them.

I would look in to some better more cannabis specific nuterients. And plants really only need CO2 in the later stages in flowerring and if you don't have ventilation then it will seriously hurt your yeild not to use it. Check this out, It tells you how to make a sugarwater co2 generator. Costs like maybe 5 bucks and will last 2 weeks.

I'm happy with my nutrients personally. The friend which we got our original stock from uses them, and I'll just say he produces quite a lot of ganja.

in the next couple days, we will have ventilation, but I appreciate the advice.

Well at least look into co2 trust me... It can increase your yeild by at least 40%

Im looking into it, but right now it's an extra expense. If I was planning on selling, I would DEF have a C02 setup.

Yeast: $1.... sugar: $0.10....Water:$0.0001... 40% increased yeild...priceless

I'm talking about the real systems. The cheap alternatives tend to not work, but like I said, it's worth a try.

It does work... i wouldn't suggest it if it didn't;).... The yeast eat sugar and make alcohol and co2.... easy as that... use about a 1/2 pound of sugar dissolved in water and add a pinch of yeast and shake.

Yeah I'll try it, the other half said he would be in charge of it, haha

Katyowns - Nice grow!

How big is your box? Your light?

It looks like you've got six girls in there. Have you ever harvested in that box? If so, what kind of yields did you get?

I'm trying to find a good size for a box for my sister. She spends a small fortune on pot and wants to grow some plants, but she needs something self-contained and simple to operate. I figured I'd make her a flowering box and then just take her fully-vegged plants when she needed a new crop.

The damn woman lives alone in a home she owns. it's a three bedroom house with a two car garage - she has growing room out the kazoo, an MMJ prescription and yet she spends a fortune on pot.

I've explained to her how she is upside down in the whole MMJ thing, and she agrees that she should be growing, but getting her started is like pushing a rope. So, anyway, that's why all the questions about your box. I just want to do something nice for my sis.

well right now flowering is in a 2'x3' closest, soon to be moved to a 2'x4" area with a lot more headroom.


this will be the 1st harvest, so I can't tell you much about the outcome. I wish I could tell you more!

Katyowns - thanks for the info, it actually tells me a lot.

Is it ideal to keep the plants in one room from a seedling to harvest time?

what sort of ventilation do you have in there? are you using a cooltube on that light? You have it really nice and close to your plants and they don't seem to be getting burned
