I'm new to growing and need advice plz

[Ivorydoom420]

welcome to RIU @Ivorydoom420

regarding stretch on your girls, here are some real-life examples for you:
in at: 12" and end of stretch: 37" that's a stretch of 308%
in at 5" and end of stretch: 18" that's a stretch of 360%

first example was topped, second example wasn't. you will find a lot of variations with the stretch not only with the strain you choose, but also how choose to grow the plant. so be mindful of your height restrictions in flowering. you'll notice by end of day 21 in flower, they're usually done with the stretch.

no worries on your seed not being from a seed bank; it will be a good learning experience. my last bean purchase was from midweek song (they're advertised on here with a 20% discount code you should utilize, it's a good deal imo) and the stealth was pretty good.

have you fed your plant at all--you're using FFOF, right? when you up-pot next, plant some of that stem in the dirt too. look on RIU for a thread about planting a stretchy stem.

...and listen to @Gary Goodson's advice re: lighting.

Thanks for the info. No feeding yet. I was told by a friend not to feed early with ffof.

Transplant it

yw. that's what i've heard with that soil too. i agree with @woody333333 too-go ahead and transplant it.

 

[Ivorydoom420]

Will it be OK to transplant tonight? I have to go to work in a few.

 

[Ivorydoom420]

Do I need to transplant both? The smaller one was planted about 24 hours after the taller one.

 

[woody333333]

I wouldn't

Give the one just a little water before work.... Maybe a half a cup it helps hold the soil when you transplant and the top looks real dry

 

[Ivorydoom420]

Do I empty out the runoff?

 

[Desr]

yeah dont let it soak back up, and 4 plants is going to smell a lot more than just some smoked weed. id prepare for that.

 

[Ivorydoom420]

my buddy had six plants you coulnt smell them outside. just inside. it was dank tho. im not hiding it from anyone in my house.

 

[nflguy]

I wouldnt transplant anything yet...its not necessary at this stage and why cause undue stress to a small plant like that

 

[nflguy]

Theres also nothing wrong with "fat leaves" lol where do these people come up with this stuff is beyond me

 

[Dr.Pecker]

The plants look fine I would do as recommended and transplant If you have a tight root ball rough them up a little before potting up. I wouldn't worry so much about the seeds right now. Growing from bag seed is a good idea for a new grower. You can order seeds and when you get a handle on it, then try them. All seeds came from someones bag at some point or another.

 

[nflguy]

Yes I did. Its a 20oz bottle cut in half

next time if possible, start it in the same container you want to finish in. There's zero need for all this transplanting

I transplant 3 to 4 times during a plants life cycle. Autoflowers don't like transplanting photoperiod plants love it.

will do. thanks for the info again. i will be taking all this into consideration my next grow. i just wanna get something to harvest so i know whats its like

and I never transplant, and I don't run autos, so I guess its just one of those opinion things which we all have

 

[woody333333]

It's not opinion.... You're wrong

 

[nflguy]

It's not opinion.... You're wrong

no. its opinion. How can the results that I've gotten be wrong? And you're the guy who thinks theres something wrong with "fat leaves"...seriously?? lol

 

[Roobarb]

I also transplant 3-4 times. It helps build a fat rootball. A little sprinkle of mycorrhizae(sp) into the pot each time. As the saying goes
"The bigger the root the bigger fruit"

Welcome to the forum Ivory.
There's a wealth of great knowledge on this site. Be careful who you take advice from. That's all I'm saying

 

[nflguy]

yes...be very very careful
