so will this plant produce any thc because it keeps growing and the leaves have started to expand more as i do not know if it is a male or female yet. As these are much better quality pics than before and should i bother to continue its life or start over? Is their anything i can do with this guy/girl? also included is a picture of the space i have to work with and the lights as well 2 60w and one 20w so total 140w
as i am in desperate need of guidance
congratulations! you have the most stretched out plant i have ever seen. its caused by not enough light and the light isnt close enough to the plant. i would honestly start over if its some bag seed. whats that silly contraption its planted in?
its a autofeed hydro with an nutrient strip underneath is their any thc in this plant though?
Not until it buds for all intesive purposes, and it's at least 2.5 months away from harvest...
Cigarette42 is absolutely right, its stretched badly. It can be saved, and if you want to save it, the first thing I would do is take a string and tie it to the top of the plant and slowly bend it over as much as you can without breaking the stem. See if you can bend it so its almost an upside down "U". Then take your lights and get them within 3 or 4 inches to what is now the top. ....and then get a proper light, or at least more light.

will this guy have any thc in him?
none
no thc atm but will have when older. I suggest reading ALOT!!!! I'm not trying to be an ass but asking bout buds when not flowering, wondering if plant has any thc when it is barely a toothpick. Like I said I'm not trying to be an ass but you need to atleast read the basics and from what I can see you kinda threw a seed in, it sprouted and now your looking for people online to answer all your questions because you didnt read anything. Simple question for ya, what's your PH at?? and what is the stuff that looks like sand??
ROFLMAO!
Is there any THC in HIM! LOL
I say cut HIM down and smoke HIM (if you think sticks and leaves are good smoke!).
It's painfully obvious this person has read very little about growing. So I'll give some advise.
First, plant a seed however you did it before. BUT put it in soil, not a cat auto waterer.
Then get your CFL bulbs within 2-3 inches of the top of the leaves (adjust as needed (best is bulbs with a 6500K rating)).
Grow the plant for a month or so, adding as many CFL lights as you can during the growing (veg) period.
Once they are as big as you want. Give them 12 hours of light and 12 hours of DARK. (this makes the plant make buds). It's best to switch all your 6500K bulbs to 2100K CFLs at this point, Buds need RED light, Growing needs more blue light.
AFTER 8-12 WEEKS of 12/12, You'll have buds ready to harvest. THEN and only THEN will you have product full of THC.:thumbsup:
Total amount of time needed to make a large THC coated bud-y plant,... 16 weeks from a seed. Assuming you don't do something odd like flower that thing you've already grown AS IS.
So, stop asking if your stick with two leaves has THC! :D
Figured sence reading isn't likely going to happen overnight (but could :D) I could post some pics.
First is my seedling under three 23w (60w equ?) CFLs. (one-ish weeks)
Second is AFTER adding two shop lights, FOUR more CFLs and still having the three CFLs I started with. PLUS I had direct sun light. (About one month of VEG) This is where I started bending the plant (LST).
Third is the same plant (more tied back) after 10 more days of VEG.
Fourth is the same plant LAST WEEK! with ONE week of flower.
Last pic is Yesterday! Those fuzzy balls on the tops of the branches,... THOSE are buds with THC. However they will not be ready for another 6-8 weeks!
dont HIJACK my thread post your own thanks for the advice guys i will probably let him continue to grow for another three weeks and make some nice ice tea see what kinda flavor it is knowing that their will be no thc. as this was a first time grow and i just threw the seed in their after letting it germinate. and what appears to be sand is some type of white rock very brittle. Its on a balanced feed solution to
Research, research, research! Get some personal trial and errors experienced. Error! Can't get much worse. At least you could sprout it. Nice pics Vance.
well ill be able to grow again next month and from the looks of my growing device do you think i will be able to support life for a female and male plant?
I don't think anyone's hijacking here, Vancefish is showing you what your plant should look like...
Your growing device will not grow cannabis. PERIOD. You'll need dixie cups to start in, 1-2 gallon pots to replant in, and 3-5 gallon pots to finish in. Try out soil first, then switch to hydro/coco once you get the hang of things. And only 1 plant per container.
You need to do a lot of reading if you really want to produce something smokeable. Start here: http://boards.cannabis.com/basic-gro...-dankness.html The first post has a link to Growroom Setup. Check out the Indoor Growing/Indoor Lighting section for info about lighting. The stickies (in red) at the top of each forum are stickies because the information is GOLDEN, and shouldn't be ignored.
You have already received a lot of good tips and information here, yet no responses from you as to whether you're actually taking anyone's advice. Did you lower the lights? Did you get more lights? Are you willing to dish out a few hundred bucks and spend hours upon hours of reading how to grow cannabis? If the answer is no to any of these, then you are just wasting people's time here.
Happy growing :jointsmile:
yes i am but this is all the space i have to work with and i will be getting new lights and my device that i have did sustain two plants at one point.:thumbsup:
i use a different device that holds only 1 plant at any one time,its a pot,and you put a plant in it,its called a plant-pot.you should try it!!!
but it doesnt have a auto feed system.......Quote:

the color may look good but what ever feeds that system isnt designed to flower cannabis. during flowering stage cannabis needs a different ratio of nutrients which that thing cannot provide. it can maybe only provide vegetative plants and thats it. if you really think your set up is good, run with it and waste your time, not ours....
[attachment=o239534]
I second the question .... how old are you?? My opionon is your a young kid trying to grow something in your bedroom without mom and pops finding out. You won't listen to what everyone is trying to tell you. You have been told numerous times that your setup will NOT work correctly for what you want. I can understand the problem of cash being tight but how much did that "hydro" unit of your cost? Give me a bucket, air pump and couple of air stones and your in business for under $20!! You are not even close when it comes to light, don't get me wrong you can grow with cfl's but not when they are 2 ft away from the stick (sorry I mean plant). Here is my last bit of advice and you can do whatever you want with it, get a couple more years under you, move outa mom and pops house and get apt or something (that way mom and pop dont get in trouble when you tell all your friends and LEO comes knocking), save up some cash to get correct equipment (E-bay or Craigslist is good place to start), and READ READ READ!!!!!! Read every sticky on this site then search the type of growing you plan on doing and read that. When your done reading go back and read the basic stuff 1 or 2 more times! Again I must apologize if I am coming off as an ass but enough is enough. Trash the stick my clones are bigger and healthier than that! :wtf:

You thank me by ignoring it all, and claim I'm hijacking your thread.:thumbsup:
My opinion is,... Do what you want! Grow a 5 foot two leaf stick for all I care.
Hope it IS a He as you so fondly keep calling it. Your not to far from it falling over dead ALL on it's own anyway. All it needs is a little more stretch, maybe when it gets a bit taller MAYBE grows an extra set of leaves. Then that sand your in won't hold the weight.... FLUMP... DEAD!
Mmmm Seedling tea,.... What a complete waste of time!
OH BTW, it's NOT growing, it's stretching to try to get enough light! Your plant is BEYOND stretched. THIS is a stretched plant at 2 weeks since a seed!
well i thank you guys for your advice plus i live in a dorm at college so i cant have a grow room ppl if i do i get kicked out so this is all i can have
No one said you needed a grow room. Many people have a grow BOX.
Look in grow logs. In there you can see a thread called tiny DWC. THAT guy is growing hydroponic in a COMPUTER CASE!
He however read a LOT! He's using CFLs that are CLOSE to the plant, not 3-5 feet away.
HOWEVER! Is it really worth loosing you college education over this? If you were to get a plant up to flower. It will smell a LOT! Your dorm supervisor will surely catch you once that smell picks up!
I say drop it! Kill that twig and throw it away a couple blocks down the street before it cost you everything.
It's already a failior anyway!
Oops, sorry it's http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-log/...-g-13-dwc.html
But there is the link so you don't have to even look around.
this say it all....thanks for the laugh this morning!:S2:Quote:

Its probably one of the WORST MARIJUANA GROWING ATTEMPTS IVE EVER SEEN.Quote:

your set up wont work, period. You will not even get enough leaf to roll a joint with, let alone feel a buzz.
Get a plastic pot , some good soil, and get some lights that are adequate(no house lamps, get a MH, HPS, CFL's, T5's or something)
You should only half too water couple of days. How much more "Auto Feed" do you need than watering twice a week?
You come to a site of marijuana growing enthusiasts and ask us questions like your a ra tard. It makes us wonder if your either a cop, a child, or just a dumbass. You could have answered all of your own questions if you did a simple google search of "How to grow marijuana?"
I know im an asshole................but someone has to be that guy
as i have stretched the plant and moved the lights closer and the leaves seem to be growing more
This site has most of the resources you need to get a good stealth grow going but you need to read, read, read.... I would definatly not be growing in a dorm room; Once your plant gets big enough to even start budding it will smell potent. Why get kicked out or have your stuff stolen for doing a half ass grow. Not worth it the pot you will get.
either invest some $$$, read a lot, or go back to buyin.
cheers,
MJ
ok it is perfectly clear to me that jamesbud420 has his head shoved up his arse and isnt going to listen to anything we say. So I will just sit back and laugh my arse off reading this thread as it continues. Oh btw if in fact you really are in college and are representing what the next generation has to offer I guess there is only one thing to say for us older peeps that will be looking to that generation to take care of us ................... we're screwed! :wtf:

That is scary!

You mention you grew it under 6500K lighting, but no mention of wattage.Quote:

You mention nothing of your dark space. Is this in a closet? Might there be any light leaks during the night cycle?
You might want to start your own thread, because this one is not even on the subject your asking about.
This thread is an idiot college student trying to throw his life away over a two dollar stick. :D People are tired of this guy not paying attention. So not many will reply or even look at this thread.
ok i will do that...post a new tread with more details i hope you can help me out on this.
thanx a lot
