anon12 Reviewed by anon12 on 12-13-2013. What do you think? Hi all, I am currently doing my own small indoor grow and when i say small i mean only one plant. Was wandering if someone could tell me how my weed plant is doing from the pics below. Its been growing for a little over 6 weeks now and is getting bigger every day. Btw the bottom have yellow spots which then turn yellow and shrivel up and die as you will see in the pics Rating: 5

Also, how far saway should the light bulb be from the plant? I'm using a:

MiniSun 65w BC B22 Energy Saving Daylight CFL Spiral Bulb

Colour Temperature: 6500K
Equivalent to a 325w standard bulb

It was approx 30cm away for the first day in my new grow box but then i read online that CFL's need to be about 2-4 inches away from the plant which i thought was very close, but apprently thats what everyone is saying. I guess its to do with the heat emitted from the CFL bulb. So now the CFL bulb is 3 inches away from my plant with a little usb fan blowing at the plant about 5 hours a day.

Got a head's up for you.

Best to empty the saucer right away.
Standing water keeps the soil too wet and the roots run out of oxygen.

She's looking good.

You can figure the distance to that CFL with a thermometer.
No got?
Use the back of your hand.
Too hot for you?
Not good for her.

Carry on, carrying on.

Aloha,

Hey anon, great to see you adapting and being proactive! You have a GREAT resource following you in the Weeze! I was having an issue with drainage water pooling in the tub that my soiled plant pots were resting in. I flipped over an entire Rapid Rooter plug-holder and cut it up to adequately fit my 3 large pots. The pots stay on top and drip the water freely through the homemade drip filter, and my plants sit, happily about 3 inches off the basin. Then, I drain and disinfect the basin every 2-3 days to avoid water pools which attract insects and algae/various bacteria.

My plan is to buy individual catch-basins (Weezard calls them saucers - I'll go with his terminology!) for each one of my 3 plants. This will help in ease of draining excess water after waterings, measuring runoff pH, and they'll also make it easier to spin the ladies to spread the light until they're big enough to tie them down. I will put the upside-down RR holders in them, too.

Just purchased a:

3in1 Soil Moisture/Humidity Light PH Tester Meter for Plant Flowers Fruits added to soil

Which looks like this:

My question is: Do i leave the soil probe in the soil 24/7 and just just flip the switch when i want my 3 readings, or do i take it out every single day and clean it then re insert it the next day when i want another reading? I'm just worried about damaging the roots if you see what i mean?

Thanks,

Started the flower cycle a couple days ago and i am wondering what a good amount of lights i should use. I was using a cool white 65w(equivalent to 325 standard watt bulb) with 6500k cfl bulb.

I have switched to a 35w (equivalent to 175w standard watt bulb) with 4100k cfl bulb.

I have three different cfl light bulbs to my disposal as seen further above in this thread. However, i was wandering what bulb i should be using for the flowering stage and how many bulbs i should be using.

Thanks

Hey anon -

For flowering stage you will want to use Warm White bulbs in the range of 2200K-3200K. You need to switch from the 4100K as soon as possible. The more light you can get on your plant, the better. Reflectors also direct the light to increase the amount of light that is reaching the plant.

Looking forward to seeing some new pictures.

Same here, there changing colour and everything! Added the Mylar today. Just waiting on several light bulbs to come in the post to assit in the flowering stage and my grow setup will be almost complete. Might buy some slow release plant food aswell to boost growth. I can't wait to see how my plant buds. It's meant to be white widow so im expecting lots of white crystals to emerge.

You posted up any pics of yours? What strain isit btw?
