Comes a Time, First Grow, Please Step Inside -- 2000 watt Sour Diesel

[Cornelius]

if you let them get a little dry it will encourage the roots to grow more. I don't know too much a/b clones, but i know it works this way in regular plants.

Yeah, I am trying to find the comfortable medium really. I have read it's good to let em dry, but not start to droop as that's stress that isn't needed. My problem si that I have a hard time knowing when to water them besides basing it on time and the fact that I observed they started to droop a tad at about 36 hours... anyone else have input? Especially someone using SunShine, this stuff breathes quite a bit!

Where did you find sour diesel seeds???

Hi RAZZ..

I am assuming that your kids have all rooted... you want to bring the light as close as possible without burning your plants.. A method that you can use is the HAND method.. Put your hand at the TOPS of your plants.. If your hand is comfortable with the heat, then your plants should be fine..

7-14 days after your plants have rooted HID lights should be no further than 12 inches from your foliage (if you want maximum yield).. This may require your to exhaust your lights or get a fan and angel it up toward your light.. Blowing the heat up and away from your BABIES..

Thanks for all the pictures.

If you plant to veg for more than 14 days, you will need transpant into 3 gallon comntainers...

Will you be cloning?

Hey bro I am finally tuning in to your show. First thing, try to get a moisture meter from a garden store or Wally Mart, they are only a few bucks and they even have some that are both PH and moisture meters in one for about $10.00 and they are a nice tool to have around which can help you get used to your babies feeding habits.
Also, once you introduce any dark periods you want to have all light leeks taken care of or else plants can go hermy or have other problems that are stress related, especially in flower. Like GK said if veging for more than 2 weeks you will want to eventually put into 3 gal or more and that being the case make sure you map out a plan in order to fit all of them in your room under the lights with 3 gal pots which can take up quite a bit of room. I use square trash cans that I picked up from Wall Mart for under 2 bucks and they work fine, you just have to drill about 3 dozen holes in the bottom for good drainage.
Well, I wish the best for you and welcome to the world of growing..
Adieu

Hey Guys


You are two of the people I wanted to drop by this thread - much appreciated.

To answer the questions popped at me...

Yep, plan to veg for about three weeks, well aware they will need three gallon pots, thanks for the heads up! Plan to transplant a few days before I put them to 12.12
They are going to take up alot of space, that's why I have *two* 1000 watt lamps, not one :thumbsup:
I will go check out the moisture meters and buy one, only problem is... I have found that even when the SunShine#4 is still moist as hell (thus the meter will tell me no need to water) the plant is thirsty. Guess this means my plants are losing alot of water through their leaves?

Known- Yep, my clones are well rooted now. I would think so anyhow, they have been in there for about four days now and are growing great. I am really scared to burn them, so I had it at four feet. Given your instructions, I just lowered it to about 37 inches off the tops of the plants - will keep a close eye on them since I am done with work for the day. Also pointed the fan so they blow warm up...

Thanks for the info, will keep you guys posted. I have a feeling they are going to shoot up quickly with the light this close.

P.S Knowm you asked me if I am cloning. The answer is, yes and no. I do plan to clone for sure, however I have to leave town for 9 days on the 18th. Since I won't be around for that 9 days, I am not sure they would given enough attention to live while I am gone. But actually, upon thinking about it, I would want to grow my mother out for at least three-four weeks prior to taking clones off, correct? What type of lamp would I need to support the mommy? I am running low on cash but could see what I can come up with prior to leaving... Thanks again!

How does flowering with the six 40 watt flouros work out for you? What type of investment? Appreciate the help...
