the cheapest, amature grow you have ever seen

I like 400 watt for great results. Good equipment, knowledgeable friends and this website will be the ticket to your success.

Looks like a bigger pot is needed?... soon...like a week ago?

Well, after much thought, i bought a 400W grow light, and it has worked WONDERS with the plant, as you can see with the fans, im having alot of trouble venting the hot air from the light, so if you have any ideas? would be greatly appreciated, anyway, picture time!!!

thanks

Most important, what D.P. said!
A slightly bigger pot now, and then again just before you switch to 12/12.

Looks like you have enough cord to move the ballast outside the box.

They generate heat so outside and up high for the ballast is best.

If it's still too hot, make a "cooltube" for the light and use an exhaust fan.
Your present fans just keep the hot air moving.
You want it out of there, and that will serve to suck in cooler fresh air.

When you re-pot, you will be watering less often, and it looks like she'll get very tall when you switch to flower.
They can double in height then, so plan ahead.

Lookin' good.
Aloha,

Well, thankyou all for your help, since these pictures, alot of the leaves have died and gone....the main stem of the plant is healthy and the bud's are healthy, just the leaves (i dont know why, my guess is the heat, maybe?

a friend came today, and trimmed the dead leaves, and said apparently, if he cuts them at an angle, it wont effect the plant, and will make it healthier (grow extra leaves? i think he said).

if you have anymore tips for me, please, tell me, as im such a noob these will help lol!

Thanks

What are your temps running? I dont think you mentioned an exhaust.

Also, I would tell you to get that plant into a bigger pot but unlike what weezard
said I would make it permanent and not transplant before 12/12. I never saw the point in risking another transplant. Yeah, I'd go right into a 5 gallon bucket/bag...soon.

Another thing I'd do is when I transplanted into the 5 gallon is bury the main stem a few inches. I'd go right up to the lowest leafs. Doing that will get rid of some of that stretch and make your plant a bit more sturdy for the upcoming heavy nuggets I know you'll grow!:greenthumb:

Oh and when you transplant bring the dirt to the top. Dont be shy with the soil, use your whole container!!

Have you done anything after our help besides letting your friend to cut leaves?
Already told what you need at the moment.
Plant need food and roots need space. If you don't give, plant will die after the leaves.
Don't touch the leaves. It will take time but new leaves will grow soon if you do what to do and don't let your friend in there.
