Ok here it is wish me luck :)
hell yeah thats real creative homie good job
you need to lower your light to within 2" of seedling to keep it from stretching...this will allow the plant to develop roots, instead of reaching for the light and having poor root development...and put small fan in there to stimulate girth/thicker plant...nice box...I see that you put dull side of aluminum foil...if you remove foil and paint inside of box with flat white paint, you will get better light reflection...imho, goodluck
Ok I Latewood thanks for the advise. I really need a fan ;) . Today has been REALLY irritating i have gone through a wall :mad: heh I hope no one tells me this was a dumb idea :p The Fertiliser has a N-P-K of 10.6-4.4-1.7 is it any good?
cool hole... that fert, never heard of. What is the amount per gallon to be used?
what do directions say it was made for?...maybe try 1/4 strength...update us with more info on the ferts...where did you get it?
I googled baby bio and found there website...went to ready to use and the faqs...
notice the bottom faq. It states, "care should be taken with regards to some plants, such as Orchids, Cacti and Bromeliads, as these do not require such frequent feeding. It is always advisable to check the plant label"...
...With that said. I would advise that this stuff might work although I would use 1/4 strength at first and alternate feeding with ph ro/distilled water
w/superthrive 1/4 tsp per gallon...BUT...Pay Attention! But, Do not give seedlings any ferts until it has 4-5 tiers/knodes and has established a root system on it's own...
...then you start feeding regimen... keep us advised...
...I imagine Zandor or someone else might chime in on the topic of baby bio...
...I might try a plant grow; using baby bio and superthrive through out
veg, along with bat guano and fishmeal or something like that...perhaps Mand will send me a bag of her "Magic Homemade English Compost"...later
OK here is what I found at Baby Bio site
Q. When feeding my house plants with Baby Bio Ready To Use should I make sure the compost is either wet or dry before application of the feed?
A. When applying Baby Bio Ready To Use to the compost of a house plant it is advisable to ensure the compost is just moist. If a plant is in compost that is either too dry or too wet then it may be stressed and therefore will be unable to absorb the nutrients from the feed. If you are unsure about the correct watering of a plant, may I suggest you try the Baby Bio When To Water Indicators.
Q. When is the best time to feed my house plants with Baby Bio Ready To Use? The best time to feed house plants, and indeed any plant, is when they are actively growing (i.e. that is when new growth can be clearly seen).
A. For house plants this can be all-year-round. It is advisable to check the plant label for specific advice or refer to 'The House Plant Expert' by Dr Hessayon.
Q. Can I use Baby Bio Ready To Use on my herbs growing on my kitchen windowsill?
A. Yes. Baby Bio Ready To Use is a fertilizer based on nutrients which are essential for all plant growth. It is blended in such a way as to provide the optimum feed for house plants but any plant, especially pot plants could benefit from an additional feed with it.
Are there any house plants that I should avoid using Baby Bio Ready To Use on? No. Baby Bio Ready To Use can be used on all house plants. However care should be taken with regards to some plants, such as Orchids, Cacti and Bromeliads, as these do not require such frequent feeding. It is always advisable to check the plant label or refer to 'The House Plant Expert' by Dr D G Hessayon if
ehh everything grey? anyways Thank you latewood for finding that for me :) and thanks for the warning because I was already feeding it with the baby bio :dance: only once though ... and it said 5 to 10 drops per pint of water so I put 3 drops but im not using it know k. Yeah I live in the UK and got it from Homebase that we have here.. wanted to get the bat guano and asked someone and the guy there just looked at me like I was asking him about some excotic plant or something so i knew they didnt have it..I also wanted an extractor fan but decided to go cheap. I found some thread were Turtle420 is growing dont know which hmmmm rastakaze I think told him to just put a plastic bag over the fan and get the tube :confused: anyways pics below. I know the new growspace sucks in terms of neatness and such but yeah :thumbsup:
keep it up, man...your box is cool but, flat white...google hydroponics. Then, when you get 456,765 hits...pick a few and check out all the grow products! Even if you are not growing hydro, you will find a wealth of products and info
to fit your needs, then when you find it...look around a few sites and find the least expensive way to procure it, be sure to check S&H before you buy...
...gotta go.peace
arrrgh just realised i did the fan thing wrong it needs two tubes damn. one at the back one in the front.
Heh maybe im stupid maybe it doesnt matter ? anyone? hmm what do you think of this light? http://www.drchronic.com/products.asp?recnumber=1017
That would probably do great fugitive!:)
The price Isn't that much either!:dance:
How tall is your plant now?
And with a HPS, wouldn't it be better to have a few more plants?
How many days ago is it your plant sprouted? What are you naming her? (hopefully a she):)
that light is good.. I don't know about the quality of that bulb though.. I'd suggest going here http://www.insidesun.com/index.php?a...=2&prevstart=0 and get that 250w system with a hortilux upgrade.. and btw you did the rastafan right, Sometimes when temps creep up in the summer I cut the front of the bag so I get more direct airflow to my plants.. :) peace and good luck with your girls
oh wait your in uk... i would say order from the doc but do try to find an enhanced spectrum bulb they make a shitload of a difference
OK havent thought of a name actually :) plant is probably 5-15 cm :D ehh sprouted 4 days ago was so happy. Yes I hear that the hortilux bulb is the best? and thank you Rasta for posting your rastafan tutorial should go into faq if you ask me :thumbsup:
Maybe not 15 cm more like 8ish lol
Ok..
Thats great for 4 days..! (In my book!!):dance:
Oh man whenever I get into the grow room my plant is fallen over and is resting against the soil (only check once a day). I then put the soil against the plant so it will stand up. Is this unwise too do? and when will it stand properly?
She's stretching. More light is what you need... and pushing the soil to straighten the stem is a very nasty habit not only is it a huge mechanical disturbance but your actually bending the stem when you do that.. this is almost training your plant to fall over, because when the stem streches it's growing from the base, therefore any new growth will be bent in the direction opposite you've been pushing the soil... You shouldn't try supporting her early on as long as the foliage looks healthy just let her grow and acclimate herself to the environment :)
Well it seems like alot of thhings are going against me already. I have spotted a few bugs in my grow room probably beacause there are leaks everywhere and I dont know what to do about it :( but here is an update and sorry about the blurry picture.
GRRRR! :pimp:
Looking fine!:)
Do you wanna :dance: and frolic?
Well I'm going to be completely honest and tell you all that I was hiding this grow from my parents :o Yesterday my mom found out and she didn't seem to care much :dance: YAy so I took all the shit out of my attic and it is now in my bedroom :D if anyone cares there are some new pics :)
Hello Fugitive :) It seems to be coming on fine love, Just keep posting ;)
Oh by the way you need a mum like me then you wouldn't need to grow :)
love mand xxx :)
looks better than the other day, I find that when my plants struggle a bit opening up panda plastic wall and airing them out for a while makes them healthier...maybe the change in environment made your babe happy...
OH, and did you really think that your Mom wouldn't look in a box with wires coming out of it?...roflmao ;) :) :D :o :p
...or did she check your computer history and see all the pix; you been postin'
...
Yes that would be pretty sweet Mand :D Hehe My mom caught me very unfortunately Because of some damn noisy ladder lol I waited until I thought they were sound asleep then made my move :D tried going up in the attic pulling down the latch and ladder etc. and just as ive gone up, I hear my mom asking me what the hell im doing in the attic in the middle of the night :o sooo yea had to come clean. But all is well now :rasta:
Ok here is the current situation :cool: too many pics perhaps you might say :D well I just want to show off my minion ! thank you very much :pimp:

Hello :) so far so good. Still waiting for the Envirolites :cool: I have been away from the plant since monday morning and came back really surprised It seems to have come off to a good start, and smell really closely I can smell a very familiar smell :D preditcting that this one is gonna be a stinker :p not such a good thing in my book :o will have to sort it out.
anyways I love this hobby yay!If any one has any advice or anything at all to say then just say so :rasta:
There is no such thing as "stinker"!

Hey what does everyone think should I cut away the burnt bits or just leave it?
Ok after careful assesment and evaluation of all your replys I have decided to keep the burnt leaves on. Thanks everyone :eek: I have a new plant it is C99 from spice brothers. I will get those damn envirolites tommorow (or so they said) I hope so because my plants really need the additional light :)
Hello Fugitive :) well the burnt damage doesn't seem to be too bad at all ;)
Just keep doing what you're doing it (she) is coming on fine.
I wouldn't have cut anything off ethier ;)
love mand xxx :)
Hello Mr. Fugitive!:)
Your plant is growing awsomely good!:) After MY mind..! :dance:
When will you start flower??
Thanks for the replys Mand and PP :) I think I will start flowering in two weeks time :cool: I am really worried that its a male because I read that males develop faster and this one seems to be doing just that... BUt I have faith in HER. Oh yeah I found some great nutrients called Iguana Juice they have one for veg and one for bloom, its totally organic which I have heard makes the taste nicer (apparently). Will this be enough for her whole life cycle? and what is everyones view on these nutrients?

http://www.drchronic.com/products.asp?recnumber=932 bloom
Hello Fugitive :) Well I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that's it's a girl ;)
Honestly love it's quite immpossible to tell, in this present crop there is one plant that I would have bet money on it was a boy. I usually get a rough idea because the boys mostly grow taller and look healthier, and are usually a little stringier. Well this one is the tallest one I have and it just seemed to fit the bill of being a boy................totally shocked me as it was the first one to develop female flowers :eek: .........so you never can tell ;)
Sorry I can't help you out on the nutrient question Fugitive, I know nothing about them, all I give mine is a little Phostogen plant food now and again :o
Good luck .........................love mand xxx :)
Sucks for the males in the cannabis world, most don't even get to have sex before they die. I just hope I'm not reincarnated into a homegrowers male cannabis plant.
The moral of this story is that I hope you got yourself a pretty ladie. Good luck
All smiles here as I enter the third week of veg :) I came home today and was expecting a very high or low skunk odor because it changes regularly. When I came into my room I was so surprised it smelt of skunk yet there was a delicious hint of candy kinda fruity smell :D the enirolites are here and stupid me thought they would fit in a normal ES fitting :o they are massive lol. I have also recieved the MKxLW today and I am going to grow all 10 after New Year :rasta:
