SeedKing's 1st Grow Northenr Lights/ W Rhino

[Marc Benson]

"I will go get some smaller pots, like 3 gallons.. go into 5 gallons right before flower"

That suggestion was made to me also but do you understand how hard that's going to be?! Think of a 3 gallon chunk of loose airy dirt with a big plant sticking out of it turning it upside down and then right side up and trying to put it in a 5 gallon container without it falling apart?! Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. And especially if you have to do it by yourself. Even with someone else it'll be tough. Sorry. I'd go from the 6" containers right to the 5's. Not that much difference between the 3 and the 5 anyway. FWIW.

SeedKing's 1st Grow Northenr Lights/ W Rhino Okay, well now is the time to get this going: First thing first, thanks to all the people who have been very helpful. Especially Harddon and Marc Benson.. I am hoping you treat me like a apprentice... This is my first grow, these are the specs: Closet Grow: Roughly 5.5 * 2 feet, 400 Watt HPS and MH converter bulb and 5 2*40 Watts 4 foot flourescents (mixture of Cool white/and warm) inside walls painted flat white and then lined with Thermal blankets that you get from Walmart for Rating: 5

You may be right, because I am using 1/2 soil 1/2 perlite and that shit is loose.. I mean its really loose like an overworked female.. will keep this in mind as I go on.. something to think about..

[HARDDON]

YOu transplant with a wet root/dirt ball.

You will lose not one grain of dirt.

If you transplant a dry plant, yes, your dirt will be everywhere.

Besides a guy with 20" arms shouldnt have any probs handling a pussy pot plant

Day 3: Sept 24th

1. Okay still growing like a weed, but I have to admit my CUNTS are destined for the WNBA, they sure are tall and lanky and I got the light right on them 1.5 inches.. This has me somewhat worried.. but maybe my BROADS are just tall and lanky. I will be glad when they are a little more sturdier, then I wont fret in my sleep. May bury 1/2 way in dirt like I did Senorita Hermosa

2. Senorita Hermosa (AKA DROOPY), seems to still be growing, I love her so much, I though I had killed her with my HALF ASS transplant job, where I burried half her ass in dirt to give her some more strength... I am still praying for her Bow your heads: (Oh father who are in heaven....)

3. WARNING This shit is addictive, I think about my PUNTAS all day long. I fret, I worry and love them all.. Its kinda crazy, becuase I have put bag seeds in dirt before just to see them grow and I didnt even give a fuck about them, I would come back 2 weeks later and there would be a strong chron-plant, and I didnt DO ANYTHING to them.. I think I just got first DADDY jitters.. but This shit is ADDICTIVE.. fun though...

4. Still Fretting about wether to go into 3 gal or 5 gal right away.. have about 10-12 days to think about it.. LESS TRANSPLANT THE BETTER and my soil mix is 1/2 soil 1/2 perlite and the shit is SUPER LOOSE, just like a whore..

SeedKing,

I'm a noob... but anyways... why don't you do a SoG setup? If they're stretching so much...

On a side note: I was glad to see the spanish names you gave your plants... Fun. Just one thought: What are you calling "PUNTAS"? Puntas is spanish for female points. If you want to call them prostitues, that would be "PUTAS".

Please let me know how they react to the new verbal "support".

Muchas Gracias, mi espansol es muy mal.. I though Punta was BITCH, I could be wrong.. All the spanish I am learning is non-cussing.. Donde esta el bano (where is the bathroom)..

Why I did not do SOG: Well I started with seeds and I am a firm believer that you should use female clones for SOG.. I may do SOG once I get some clones from these PUTAS

All these PUTAS will have spanish names, once I know they are going to live, there will be a Senora Harddonita and perhaps a Senorita Marcita B
Adios

Seedking here's some pics of some of the plants I had/have going. Not to rub it in but all 4 of these plants looked like this when they were just seedlings. Super low. Sprouted and then just spread out. But I used cfl's and had them right down on them. You can see that in one of the pics. I think maybe this is your problem. The big 4 footers put out some light but they do all along the length where as the cfl's are concentrated to one small area.

And it doesn't matter how big your arms are, it's still going to be as bitch to translplant 3 gallons of dirt with a plant hanging out of it into a 5 gallon container. One reason being that the 5 gallon container is probably not going to be that much larger in diameter than the 3 gallon. If you go from a flower pot to a 5 gallon bucket there probably won't be any difference. So how are you going to sit it down in there? You can't get your hands down there if it's the same size. Grab it by the stalk? Not this kid. Once again, sorry but it doesn't make any sense when going from a large container to one that's just a little larger. Small to large I totally agree.

[meloncoly]

that's lots of stretch, replant deeper as suggested, I thought you were using good lights if I remember your first post

[SeedKing72]

Damn damn damn.. My ladies dont look anything like that.. WHAT TO DO? WHAT TO DO? Oh father in heaven, hallow be thy name...

[SeedKing72]

Yeah, I think I need to plan those bitches deeper.. ON MY WAY TO THE NURSERY now, gonna buy 10 6 inch pots so I have the same consistent pots.. This is a lesson learned... I will know better next time...
