First grow. Looking for advice

[LetsSeeYa]

There is prep to be done.. im going to have to get lights for another room and timer for 12/12 etc. I was looking for a more scientific answer........ i know it has to be done but about how long do i have?

Hey Cann, looking great man. As far as the male, the pollen will not bug your girls till the sac's open, but you dont wanna wake up one day and there open, you will have a seeded crop. If you can move it into a box in a different room and put a couple cfl's on it, when it flowers you can get some pollen then ditch it. The male i posted in here was sitting by my biggest female, but i only found 2 seeds. Now it wasn't long after i took the pic that i moved the male. Also, if you see an open flower spray it with water, then the pollen cant escape. So if you keep it misted everyday and keep an eye on it, move it just before it looks like what i posted.

Hope this helps, ya got a nice grow going on there. Not sure if you have seen mine, but i have 11 cfl's and the buds look good and will be harvesting soon. I think the cfl's work better then i thought in the beginning.

keep er green man :weedpoke:

Rep given:thumbsup:

Thanks LSY, ive been misting them everyday. im nuting about every 1 1/2 weeks. They seem to be doing good so far. MY other female is just now starting to bud but i have feeling she is going to be much much bigger my other one. These are just mixed bagseed from some great bud. They are turning out better then expected considering what im working with. Next grow i will step it up to a real lighting system, better soil and maybe some good nuts as well as some known strain seeds. This was a learning phase for me as ive never grew any kind of plant before. Just gonna keep learning

I'm in the process of growing my second batch of bag seeds and I just germinated some seeds from Attitude. They germinated in a day and already are 3 inches out of the soil after just 2 1/2 days!! Bagseeds were used to get a feel for growing and now I'm amazed with the growth of genetic seeds!!I'm sure you'll say the same when you get around to getting some.

well as for watering i usually go every 3 to 4 days and then check...i check by putting finger in soil about 2 inches deep and if its COMPLETELY dry then i water but if there is any moisture at all then i let her stay... sometimes i like to leave her in a drought though to make the roots stretch out because the bigger the roots usuallly bigger the plant.


and for the flowering thing usually people say when the plant is a little over half the size you want it to be at the end flower it...good luck and happy growing...:thumbsup:

sorry i just forgot to ask...you said you wanted to upgrade you lighting system well im just curious as to what you are using now. because im in the beggining stages of veg right now and my plants are doing great right now but idk what kind of light im going to need for fowering and for bud so i was just wondering...thanks.

looks like you could use a little cal mag, it will help the yellowing~i use it through week 6 and it really gives your girls a more vibrant green~happy plant=better bud :jointsmile:

keep em griowing...good work!

hi everyone,just wondering weather i could get some advice aswell.my first grow went o.k-ish.....then when i started my second grow i listen to a friend and put my second grow on 12/12 from week 2 (from seeds).i know now that i shouldnt have listened but i did......so i'm at week 5 and would love to boost my yield by going back to veg....has anyone got any advice....or well changing them back to 18/6 for a bit stress them out to much........advice anyone?

Thanks everyone checking out the thread. This is my frist grow and ive learned alot but nit even close to being done.

GIjaneBRAD for lighting upgrade, right now im using 8 cfl's 4-43w and 4-23w. I think i will prolly get a Amazon.com: Sun System 150w Grow Light Fixture with Bulb: Patio, Lawn & Garden or something similar. right now im using 260+ watts and getting about 16000 lumens. Seems much more practical to use 1 bulb that can produce that. Plus its HPS and will give me much better light pentatration.

kevin10 as for going back to 24/0 from 12 /12 it is possible but will take awhile for the plant to adjust back.

DocKgreenThumb i would start by either creating a grow log or another thread for your specific grow that way people can subcribe to it and follow your grow and answer questions and give advice to it.


stra8outtaWeed right now this grow is nut free other then what was in the soil. Im not experienced enough i feel to really troubleshoot and remedy plants with nuts. My next grow i will give it a shot thou.

[DocKgreenThumb]

Thanks
about your possible hps upgrade which would be more economical in the long run
your current cfl setup??
Or the 1 hps??
Or maybe the 1 hps and like 4 cfls one at each side of the plant


Hope you don't mind but if you or any one has the chance give it a look
