:rastabanna:Cool,... Found one of the pics from when we brought the little girl home and got that posted in an album,... Now I'm gonna spend a while searching my hard drive for the more recent pics, and pics of the light swap.

u were of to a bad start but it will grow good. lower your lights try to keep them like 4-5 inches from the tops.

I moved some things around in my grow "room" a little today,... got a consistent temp just over 80* now,... still no luck on upping my humidity.

It is colorado after all, It rained outside all day, and my max humidity was 40%


I've got the lights only 3.5-4" off the top of the plant, even in the picture's I've already posted,... she's still really small, only had her for a week today.

According to the ultimate grow dvd you can increase humidity by simply placing a bucket/container of water in your grow room.

.. but I still feel they were a tax on the plant as they were mostly yellow and the tips were brown/dry/curling.

A yellow leaf does not tax a plants resources. It is, in fact, in the process of being recycled. The plant uses much less energy to recycle components than to create new ones, so... removing yellowing leaves actually costs the plant rather than benefits it.

Thanks for the info, this has so far been a learning experience. Yesterday's temps peaked at 91.1 (I believe that was while I was moving stuff around and not an ambient temp) and overnight with the lights off dropped to 67.9 I'm using a 18/6 lighting cycle to let the leaves rest and encourage strong root growth

I read in another section about the disadvantages of potting a small plant in a large pot, so I've changed my watering schedule to not soak the soil until she's considerably larger. Instead I'm watering lesser amounts more often and just around the stem.


I'm working on cleaning out my basement, there's a nook that's 4.5x6.5' that I'm going to convert into a proper grow area. I'm questioning if I will be able to partition it into veg and separate flowering areas,... I know it can be done if we keep the plants small before flowering, but I'm thinking of 4 months veg time before flowering, so I might be flowering small trees! :hippy:
