MMJ Patients first grow....

Good evening everyone. Im a MMJ patient that suffers from severe migraines and nerve damage in my head:(. Im trying to find some straines that will suite me and my needs. Im not working now and I definately dont have the cash to run to the local dispensary.
I started off by getting a mother that was a clone from another patient I knew. I just dont know the strain. I bought a OG KUSH clone from the dispensery. I have a bag of seeds so I germinated those. I have a CHOCOLOPE & BUBBA KUSH seed that just poped. Im running all florescent bulbs at the time..... I dont have alot of room and I plan on fixing that but for now im in a bath room. I will have pics next time...

Sorry for the long post just had to introduce myself.:baggy:

I know that all of the "white" strians are very cerebal, white widow, white rhino, white shark, and indica cross strains. Talk to a knowledgable dispensary owner and they will help you out more.

Thanks 420somehow I will look into that but for now since the dispenseries are so far im going to grow these out but I will look into those other straines... Thanks again.:jointsmile:

You might need to have so many posts, before you can put pic's up. So read grow logs, that way you learn tons of info you will need. Ask about there grow to have at least 50 posts i think you need before posting pic's. Im not sure but its in the rules, so ya might find it there.

Keep me updated man:rasta:

:jointsmile::joint1:Okay 4/7/2010 I planted some BLUE CHEESE BUBBA KUSH and CHOCOLOPE seeds. I have them under 2 17watt floros from my old fish tank to get them gowing before I put them with the rest of the group.

My other seedlings (BAG-O-SEEDS) I started on 3/31/2010 are growing under a 100watt cfl next to my OG KUSH CLONE that is growing rapidly also under another 100 watt cfl. Next to the clone is a mother I found out to be part of a blood weed group...It bleeds red but smells like lemon.. Thats under a 80/65 watt floros....

This is my first grow so any input I will highly appreciate it..Oh LETSEEYA I took out that 250 watt infared light til i start flowering...

Man il tell ya you need more light. They say around 5,000 lumen's per sq ft. Now could ya grow them with less then 5,000, yes, but in the end you will kick yourself for not getting more. If you can, buy something every payday, even if its a splitter for 3-4 bucks. Because then you double your cfl's cheaply.I know its tough man, it took me 3 months before i could even call what i had going on a ''grow''. Its just i only had 5 plants and its a good thing one went male, or it would have hurt my yield. I didn't think i told ya to take it out, i ask if it was hot. Im not familiar with what kind of light it is, but id use it now. Mine liked a mixed spectrum, so get a deal on any lights you can, cuz i saw success with 11 cfls. I had a 30w, seven 26w'ers and three 23w'ers and this was with only 4 plants. I just want ya to know cuz i sorta gotta ahead of myself on my first indoor. BTW did ya check it out, it just put it in my sig. Let me know what ya think.

But your plants look great:thumbsup:I just want the best possible light, so in the end, you'll be happy with your investment. Then you can work on creating a perpetual grow. Plant for a mother or two, then use cuttings to grow. Always have something vegging and something flowering, while never running out of smoke:smokin:

Keep up the pic's of your girls and just do your best at picking up a light here an there and maybe a thermometer. I thought it was something i could do without, but when problems come up, its a way to rule out, as i learned that today. My battery's went out and i was using a box to veg a few seedlings. I had issues and after i put new batteries in, i found it was 89 degrees in there, so i put a couple vents in it. Now its at 79, i thought that there was enough vantage but i was wrong:wtf:

See Ya:rasta:

I am going to get some more cfl's... Now tell me can I buy the splitter or will I have to make it? I look at your indoor grow op and its nice... thermometer and more bulbs I will be getting. We are about to move soon and that means more room.
You are so rite on all levels and im very appreciative of the help you are giving me. I can say that its about 70degrees in there, but like you said I dont want to wait til the end and be upset... I got a STRAWBERRY COUGH seed today im going to hold on too that til I get these other kids going.....Thanks again talk too you soon.:jointsmile:

Actually I will plant that seed on 4/20.....

You can get little jobs like this guy for dirt cheap at (probably :)) any hardware store.

Hey thanks FIRSTFIRST im on it today I will have pics posted later... Thanks :hippy:

Ok im back today I went out and picked up 3 spliters and 4 more 100watt cfls.. My girls are happy now only thing I need to figure out is what am I going to do about the out going air... I have the window cracked but I know I need more then that.... You can say this is going to be very interesting....heres a few pics

No nutes yet just fox farm ocean soil ph 6.2

24 hour lights til I make flowering area/room.

Alittle more light letseeya.... Thanks firstfirst again.:rastasmoke:

Today I put the BLUE CHEESE BUBBA KUSH and CHOCOLOPE seedlings in cups today because the pots were to little that they were in. Had to get rid of some of my bag-o-seeds plants that were 2 weeks old to make way for these... with the extra cfl's its bomming brite now. The leaves are standing straight up and the plants are smiling:thumbsup:

The humidity is cool but its like 80degreese had to turn the fan up. Well hopefully these seedlings will some ladies....I will be going to 12/12 once they get 25 days old...

Tomorrow I hope to take a trip to the hydroponics store to get some nutes.

Looks like your gaining on on the set-up. If you can get 2 more splitters, you can take out both cfl's and put a splitter in both of the sockets. This makes it possible to have four cfl's on one light.

If you can i might try to make a reflective hood for the top of your lights, so you can take advantage of as much light as your putting out. If you can direct the light back to your grow area, its like adding more. I see that everything is white in there, but ya might try something around the sides. You could use anything white to sit on the sides of your tub to reflect your light back to your plants, rather then let it escape out into the room. The hook lights i use reflect a lot of light for me and im sure it would help you. You might find something around your house, like card board covered in crinkled tin foil, held on with duct tape or something. Anything at this point, till you can get a hook light. They are around 7.99.

Keep er green man:rasta:

Thanks alot man thats a good idea... I was thinking about setting up a banner I have its all white I was going to hang up on the side maybe I will take a pic today of it after I get back from football practice...Thanks again.:hippy:

Ok since I added the extra lights I keep checking the thermometer its staying at 89 degrees, humidity is between 40 and 50 and with the lights & fans on 24/7 im a little concern. As I want to add more cfls...:jointsmile:

What can I get or do to make the temp stay between 70 and 80 degreese??

Thanks:hippy:

And tomorrow I will be adding nutes and more lites if I can get this temp thing under control soon...

Well i might get another fan blowing air around. Yeah 89 is a bit high, if ya can get it down a bit with a fan blowing right at the lights, i think will bring it down a bit. I have one in a box with a fan half in and half out and i suck air out, but my temps are at 80 which is fine, as the plant is telling me that. An osculating fan might work the best:hippy:

If ya got a fan in the ceiling, id keep it on, it may help some:rasta:

I defianantly agree with an added fan, a 12" oscillating fan would work great. When i ran into heat problems I would open a north facing window to basically cool the fresh air going into the room. Do you keep your door closed? open it and stick the fan in the doorway. You can veg them at a higher temp as long as they have enough water and fresh air. You can keep the plants cooler by watering with colder water. not to cold as you'll shock your plants. i run my veg at 85 by choice. i had it at low 70's with 3000w, but now that it's warmer they use thier water faster and have had a growth spurt. more airflow will also build you thicker stems= thicker buds and help coltrol pests. spider mites can't function properly with a lot of airflow. i keep my mites in check by using 2 16" and one 12" oscillating fans for an 8x10 area and they blow directly on the plants, above and below.

Thanks you guys extra fan I will be getting.... Maybe I will open the window more to...I appreciate it.:pimp:

Ok im setting my questionable big plant outside.. Im starting to notice what I think is going to be male pollin sacks.... Not for sure but I definatly dont want to take any chances with my other little plants rite next to it.... I will keep you posted once I get settled and I have taken care of this heat problem..

Well the last time I was on I was setting out the big plant... The craczy eather we just had beat the shit out of it outside so thats a goner...

Today is my second feeding with nutes and I can see the plants love it.
I went down to my local HYDRO store and picked up "recipe for success" starter kit. Im posting up pics anymore advice I would really appreciate it....I know I need more lights im on it...:hippy:

RIP....Big Plant!

:(

Its looking good. I would definitly make a sheild for ur lights. Or go to a hardware store and get some. And are your lights are staying on 24/7?

Anyway your plants look great man:thumbsup:very green and healthy:) just keep doing what your doing man. It wont be long and you can post some nice bud shots:jointsmile:

:rasta:

Thanx letseeya I garantee after I saw the claw looking thing I almost fliped... Its cool man I definatly understand what your saying....Plus I need the room til I move, these plants are going to take up lot of room and remember I have 1 CHOCOLOPE 1 BUBBA KUSH AND 12 BLUE CHEESE seedlings thats 2 weeks in the veg... Hopefully majority are ladies. How long do you think it will be before I can really tell the sex on them....?:stoned:

As far as sexing them, you might want to veg till there big enough to take a clone and put it in12/12 from each and in 2 weeks or so, it will show sex. If ya cant do this, then its basically a waiting game. Which sucks, i know. But, id treat them as females and keep up what your doing, cuz they look great now. When there at about a month on 18/6 id look for pistils everyday. Mine showed sex pretty fast, but that was because i had to take them away from the lights and the grew as house plants for a week an a half. But, that made pistils pop out big time. You don't want to do this, its to much stress and it was a safety thing for me that had to be done. A lot of people use a clone for sexing tho.

Also, people just flower at a month and when the lights go to 12/12 pistils begin to show. You will have plenty of time to get a male out before it pollinates your girls. I think this is your best plan:hippy: Il be back bro, im getting my outdoor ready now, so my thread will be up soon:jointsmile:

Thanks for stopping by.... No im actually going to clone the OG KUSH in a week or two,I havent made up my mine which do I want to flower the clone or the mother... Hopefully I get a few BLUE CHEESE mothers and I will keep 1-2 others and flower the rest... The BUBBA KUSH and CHOCOLOPE is a single seed so im hoping there females I will clone and keep a mother....:S5:
Im kinda lost on the hood I think I know what your talking about... Do they sell the lids or its something they through away after stocking the shelves?

I really dont like the tieing down thing but something I know I might need to do in the future. I will be topping the plants off...If I tie them down does the branches grow the way there tied?:hippy:

After you lst, they will just keep growing toward the light. So, you tie em down, they grow, ya tie em again and you could have a plant thats 10' tall thats tied down to maybe 3 or 4 feet tall. So more yield indoors and if ya Scrog it like Finn does, the top spreads out for a nice canopy on top for multiple bud sites. Now iv never tried this, but iv seen it in grow logs and the end result was incredible:hippy: Its something im going to do this year outside.
