haha i had no intent to start. It was just random and i decided to try it.

I REFUSE TO GIVE UP

Heres my thoughts
(captions above the picture)

This one is gone for sure


This one also done for



This one makes me smile still



If you focus on the center of this one, a brand new leaf is still growing out of the stalk (sp? stock?) I didnt see this last night, hence why i still have hope for this entire thing



The next 2 have burnt outer leaves, but the base is still goodish... I have hope for them






As for the no research thing. Ive done my research now, hence why im trying to bring them back to life...

My advice....see if you Bro in law has another cutting!!!!

Good Luck.....my plants looked bad in the first part of life....but i brought them back to life....hell...if I can do it anyone can!!!

yah, hes gonna hook up about 5 - 10 seeds and another clone

hopefully

but i wanna test myself to be able to be the hand of the leaf gods and bring this shiz back to life

also, what are your guys' thoughts on me killing the light tonight for about 8 hours?

Currently my light has been running for 22.5 hours. Come sleeping time, it will be at about 28.

Kill it for 8? then Continue my 24/0 schedule?

this is all part of the learning experience man! i couldnt tell you how many beginners go out and buy those "plant lights" including myself. everyone has a rough start, but it really seems like you are doing everything you can to get every bit of learning out of this, i am confident you will do well in the future.

as for the lights i would leave them on a 18/6 schedual from now on untill flowering.

ok, any preferences when? should the 6 be at night? From what ive learned, complete darkness is the way to go.

Ok. Check it out. Some basics..for Veg (which it needs to be in) it needs to be anywhere between 18-24 hours of light. 16 wont hurt it, but neither will making sure its on for 2 more hours either to make sure that its between 18-24. Depending on heat issues and what you have going on in your space. I recommend throwing the light on at night to help even out the temp. Since its usually cooler at night it can help bring the temp down about 3-5 degrees. I might not seem like much but it helps. Also..find one of the "dead" ones and pluck it out. What do the roots look like? What color, size, little hairs on them. Just trying to cover all bases here.

No dude this is what im looking for! Would it be good to pull the plant out to look at the roots? (i doubt it...) but the plant itself i can describe. Also if you look at the pictures. Its base is still nice and strong, just a few that were gonners. Imma go ahead and take off the dead ones now.

The live plants leave alone. They are going to stress out and die if that happens. What you need to do to help ease the transition is get some Vitamin B from a hydro store, or garden center. It will essentially make the plant drunk and help it ease through the process. Let me look at all the pics.

I'd stay away from the C02 as well with the little amount of plants you have it doesnt make sense. Its not to cost efficient either. Think of it this way, with C02 you will generally produce 20-30 % higher yields, but also need 35-40% more nutrient to accomidate it. Start simple first, this is yer first grow, so just focus on the basics...you also need to find out if its a male or female it would suck if you did all this work only to find nutsacks..

Ok cool. Vitamin B. Ill pick some up in the morning. or maybe now...

I just finished adding a daytime light resister to my cabinet. So i can leave the lights off during my school hours (lol 2 hours haha college) and whatnot. Ill leave the light on at night. I also added a high up Vent, and will work on adding a lower fan.

ALSO.

called my brother in law,

i have 2 clones (1 large 1 small) as well as seeds on the way to my house on wed. i believe. .


Edit;
as a reply, its female, its a clone

Cool. So now check it out..your gonna need two parts for ventilation..one pulling in and one going out...generally with ducting for your space 6" should be enough..bend it into an elbow and spray paint it black on the inside that way NO light will get to it. Have the one pulling in the air come into the bottom and the one pulling out of the air on top, if you can get a little 4-5" computer fan from radioshack that would be cool. Make sure its 110v and place that on the top part so it constantly pulls out air. With air comes CO2 and the more you pull in the fresher the supply. Next put a small adjustable speed fan IN the space and make it osicalate slowly so that way the leaves just move a little. This will develop strong stems and help move air. #1 mistake I have seen with most grows. NOT ENOUGH AIR FLOW!! Hope this helps.

Heres the back to my current housing

Flap Up - to let out hot air while lamp is on.



Flap Down - To prevent any excess light from entering.



Whats a good brand for my vitamins?
I cant seem to find any online at HomeDepot's garden center. Which buggs me...lol.


EDIT: Gonna toss duct tape around all of the white as well except the hole

Update: Ive clipped all the dead ones, except one, which i see potential.

Im monitoring its stem for the night, and if it changes in the morning, its good to go, and if not its off with its head!

Here it is.

MAN im awesome! (Lol)

Check it out! New additions!

Fan!


Mounted fan



and the inside

i love how people try to give advice but dont read through everything the persong theyre helping posts... you could just forget the co2 for sure, looks like you got the fan set up nice man, thats a good area for some plants. and i love the ghetto pop can reflectors, GENIOUS!

LOL on the pepsi! Aluminum though is a poor reflector. If you can find some flat white paint as well. Paint the whole inside of the space white, and the underside of those cans too.

The can idea i got from a video that was posted by another fellow grower with the genius idea. Yes, ill go to home depot today and pick up a small can of paint and a brush.

I just picked up some vitamins. Is this correct or did i just spend $10 on really bad smelling chemicals lol.
