1ST indoor GROW

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Yes Whisky, guano is poop.

[whisky]

oh.. hurray for guano. ill be putting both plants into 18/6 tonight is that ok or too much stressing?

[whisky]

theyve been on 24 all their life i need them on 18/6 bc of the new place will be growing new plants on 18/6 .. reverting these plants to 18/6 is too much stress? or should i go with it.. i could also not do that and let the new plants grow 24/7 but that is not so good and electricity bills... please answer this ..

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

You should be fine on 18/6. Just don't keep switching up on them. Leave them on 18/6 until you go 12/12.

Yeah switch to 18/6, it shouldnt stress them.
Ive read alot about how 18/6 is much better for the plants, they grow better if they have some dark, i mean that plant didnt evolve in 24 hour light! Nature has a dark period, your plants will love it

I went from 24-0 to 18-6 right before it started to show its sex, and Im thinking the darkness helped out with that... and now its in 12/12 and lookin grreattt

im feeling much better today and im recovering from the flu.

the plants are on 18/6 now and im sure they like it, this morning i noticed some more browning on bob and i couldnt help giving it some nutes that have MG in them and one leaf virtually turned from brown to green infront of my eyes that was really cool, there are still some leaves with browning on them but i dont want to over nute so ill give it nutes again the next time i water.

the assplant ill change the name to daisy because it sounds better that way. daisy is hasnt decieved me and is showing more feminality in her every day those hairs are growing. i think shes begging to get 12/12 so im going to foliar feed her on her next feeding which is in 2 days and then i will move her back to the other grow area and flower her.

this morning i planted 8 seeds in little picnic cups all of them had germinated and had little white tails so those will be sprouting in 5-6 days. i was planning to put plants in 2 liter bottles until i saw which were females then put females in big pots and flower but i think the 2 lt bottles are gna be really small so i might go buy pots for them actually. ive put 4 seeds in the same soil i used before and 4 in the new guano soil.

here are some pics to show you what i did today and some pics of daisy`s hairs which im sure are purely visible now.

Looking good Whisky! Get well soon!:thumbsup:

I've finally got some replies and I'm at the point where the information is helping out big time invision and weedhound + a few others explained some stuff in a way that's got the girls...(hopefully) looking better I know what ya mean about the replies cause once you go through the effort of putting up the post you want to get the feedback I'm trying to be as patient as possible with mine cause even in the aero setup they seem to be growing really slow...just have to wait and see

But anyway bout your plants and setup it looks like they are doin just fine from a growth standpoint, I do remember reading several things about what affects gender or atleast makes a gender more likely so if I can remember where that was I'll point ya in the right direction...as for the 18/6 I'd definately go with that

Think of the plants as little people and the nutes you give them mixed with water are like the blood so human babies need baby food with everything all exact to make sure they don't get messed up I'd assume that once they get older you will have a much easier time just feeding them a certain amount and notice a steady growth I've done 2 grows in soil and this is my first attempt with aero but yours look better than mine have so far for all 3

I have a tendancy to ramble as well so don't feel bad about that especially when I feel like the plants have done something really cool or are looking much better I wanna tell people about it...as far as the medicinal growers who knows I mean everyone is different and until there is a computer that can pinpoint all the chemicals in the body and say which are too high or too low it'll be a crapshoot to say what people really need/don't need I've just tried to adopt the idea of live and let live cause hell if some guy is growin 120 plants or more he's probably got some real experience and a wide variety of problems successes to share ;-)

they're definately lookin killer so far keep up the good work ttyl

thanks asd!
today i went to the shop in a hunt for bulbs and ive gone mad. first i went and bought 2 20w CFLs each 2700k 1100 lumens. then i said these suck and gave them back and started looking at other bulbs. i though id go with one halogen ( btw these bulbs im buying is for red spectrum for flowering ms.daisy ) im stupid i shouldve stuck to the cfls they look like they dont give light but they do.. whatever. so i was looking at halogens 150W and 230W the small one gave out 2100 lumens the other 4300. i tried them out and yea thats alot of light there! but it goes up to like 70degrees celcius in about 0.01 seconds from turning it on and burned my hand really quick and on the box sais it can go up to +200 degrees celcius... and .. lol so after this little adventure i felt bad about giving back those cfls and stupid and i didnt wanna go get them again cuz id feel like a stupid smurf so i searched around a little bit and i bought a 100W incandescant spotlight. it gives off alot of light ill stick to it it was really cheap. so now ill be separating daisy from her little box ( btw this morning i foliar fed her and ive seen those side shoots growing up and looking really cool ) there is one side shot from the very bottom that hasnt grown at all im thinking about cutting it and using it as a clone but weel see. i will put daisy 18/6 in the other place with 3 cfls and the incandescant and by the end of the week ill check her out if she has grown enough ill put her 12/12 if not ill let her another week. im not at home atm so i cant upload pics but i will tonight. give me opinions about how im doing and what i should do ty all if it werent for this thread and this great forum i wouldnt have made it this far at all. :rastasmoke:
