manicureing!!! please reply. its important ADVISE NEEDED
Woa woa woa...take those down quick. You don't want ur mug on here. What I was really after was pics from the plants point for view
Ur making me piss my pants over here...:yippee:
I think what we are dealing with is a lack of sunlight. I really think that's what is causing your problems. Lumens are the scientific term for light out put since many of us don't use the sun, we need a way of talking about how much sun we have in our grow space, without there being a sun. Make sense? U can start with this to learn more wiki lumens Bottom line is that there is a minimum necessary for a plant to survive and then another level necessary to thrive. Ur plant doesn't appear to be thriving at the moment and in my mind that's due to lack of proper sunlight or lumens.
So what does a person do about such a thing? Depends on ur situation and space. If you want the natural approach then move your plants outside. If you want a more efficient method move them further indoors and start creating a happy space with ventilation and proper lighting. In the mean time, hows about cleaning ur windows or possibly even opening them if you don't think your getting enough light coming in due to the windows filtering it. A light meter would tell you exactly how much light the plant was getting. I do not know off hand what the minimum necessary is for proper plant growth and fruiting, but most people would think 5k lumens per plant would be about the minimum you could get away with. For reference I veg my plants for about 4 weeks under 25k lumens and then flower for 8 weeks under 60k lumens. This across a 2x3' table.
I suppose you could add in more light to supplement the sunlight possibly. Not sure how that would play out though. You would want to keep the artificial lights on the same schedule as the window I would think. Never tried growing mj on a windowsill before. A green house lets in much more sunlight then I think your patio is. I could be wrong, but a light meter will show you for sure. Was this any more helpful then my last post? lol :P
Ur fucking hilarious in those pics though. rofl
It occurs to me that if your plant is by the windowsill then for how many hours each day is it really getting light? I can see on that second pic that the sun is coming in fine, but at 12:00 what happens? I bet after a few hours no more direct sunlight is coming in your window which means your really only giving your plant about 3 or 4 hours of light each day. Can you put it outside where it can obtain more direct sunlight for a longer period in the day? If even for only 6 hours each day, if it were direct sunlight and could then continue to get indirect light for a further 6 or 8 hours you would be right where you need them to be. I don't think 18 hours of direct sunlight is necessary but certainly half of that should be direct and half indirect as in some shade as the sun passes along in the sky. I'm talked out. Any of this sitting well with you?
