Before i started, i have researched a lot in books, on the net and stuff, but i really need some one who has the know how to tell me if i am at least close to to what a growing set uo should look like! It has been a month since my greenhouse seeds germinated, and i am worried they are not growing as they should. These week they really started to develop new leafs and stuff. So, i will be waiting for a repply from you guys! Rating: 5

id just let those puppies grow it does take time as you can only rush a plants growth so much.. which you seem to have it covered,, remember to start with fairly dilluted feed and gradually make it richer as the plant becomes bigger and gets use to the feed.. (depend on what food that is)

Dude, I've read your other post, and you probably don't have enough space to finish flowering them. You only have 60cm total height? Might work but you'll need to flower quickly. Calm down, you are worrying like a freak. Remember, that a plant may double in size during flowering, so that needs to be taken into consideration. The earlier you flower in relation to plant size, the smaller the yield. Oh and also, it's too difficult to tell male or female unless- 1: you flower. 2: you veg long enough for the plant to show either horns/balls(male) at the nodes or a couple white hairs(females) reaching out. Peace.

Maybe ive waited a little too long to flower my plants, but i guess its too late now! lets see how it goes.
The total growing space is around 65cm plus 25cm from the pot! Anytihng i can do to avoid them growing that much???
If they grow bigger then the box, could i put the plants outside for 12 hours of natural day light and put them back inside my house for the dark period???
Thanks for the tips guys!!!

That would work, but they may not get enough lumens from outside light so you will have a smaller harvest.

Hey Khan, do you think by looking at my setup, that i will run out of growing space by harvest time???

[bud breath420]

not enough lumens outside? that doesnt click for me.. i dont know much about lumens but wouldnt the sun put out more light than all of his lights put together... not having a go at you khan.. but uhh do you know what i mean?
(baked my bad if im not making sense)

Thats funny, if u put it outside in a place that gets good sun it will do just fine. Its no need to worry about not a sufficient amount of light coming off of the sun. For christ's sakes its the SUN. Anyway you should top your plant so that it will stop growing right were u top it but the side colas could still grow taller but u can tie them down so in that case u can veg until the height that is desired.

[iarbaman]

But if i top the plants, wouldnt they put an effort towards growing back the prtion i toped, instead of growing flowers???

[delta9thc06]

Not really cause if that were the case then nobody would top there plants, and then after u top the plant the side branches will start to reach up to get to the light and u could tie them down and then instead of 1 big kola ull have 4 good size kolas.
