First Ever Grow! ok so around 3-4 weeks ago i was havin a smoke down a mates house, he picked up some new bud and it was lovely. nice lump of chocolate chunk. anyway he had loads of seeds from the bottom of the bag and i thought id give it a go, (didnt think anythin of it) and 2 weeks later i got a nice looking plant and another bad lookin one. planted a new seed 3 days ago and its lookin much stronger than the other ones already as its had a better boost of light, i only kept the other ones on my window sill Rating: 5

DO NOT post links to any other site than this one. Just a heads up: http://boards.cannabis.com/cannabis-...ard-rules.html, Here's the rules!

Also If you would like us to see what it is you are lookin at, copy and paste the pic to a post.

What are the dimensions of your grow area? Depending on the amount of plants you are growing, you will want a minimum of 50w/ sq ft or more. Up to 100w/ sq ft.

Also 1 other thing, nutes on a plant that young is the reason why you were having yellow tips. The plant doesn't need nutes for the first 4 or 5 weeks after sprout. And then you start em at 1/4 strength.

All looks well so far though. Good Luck!

That sounds just fine for veg. Keep in mind when building the Flower box, the plant doubles in height and the plants canopy should be 10 to 18 inches from the HID lighting. So if you take a plant that is 2 ft tall in veg, expect it to reach almost 5ft by the end of flower. CFL's aren't a heat issue.

ok thanks for replyin to my questions. you dont realise how much it helps when Some1 answers a question lol. if i were to get a 250w cfl red spectrum whats the limit on the amount of plants i can flower under it? im not lookin to go nuts and grow plants 3ft tall ect.. im just lookin to grow autoflowers and possibly flower 2 plants at a time? im only growing for my own smoke. not fussed on sellin it and whatever. and thanks again .
