First time grower, any tips/comments GREATLY appreciated

a 2 gallon would be perfect i think. my girlfriend had a sativa in a gallon milk jug and it was 4 1/2 feet tall....it was a male though (still teaching her some things lol)

Damn Your Plants Look Great,


What Type Are They...

Yeah i was thinking 2 gallon should be fine..5 gallons is huge

And I guess i forgot to mention its bagseeds
I got them from some good nuggets so hopefully i get some good buds

Thanks for the comments, ill try to get new pics soon

UPDATE:: DAY 24 Been on 24hr lighting since day 1

Sorry for the shitty pics my camera died and I didnt get enough good ones so ill have to get more later if i remember

Oh btw the first pic Im trying to show you guys my light setup but it didnt turn out too good but here is my light setup for now.....dont hate, im pretty broke

LIGHTING :

• 2x cfl's @ 13W each

• 4x fluorescent bulbs in the hood assembly (from a saltwater tank, used for growing coral) @ approx 30W each I think

• 1x 65W flood light. Friend passed it over to me, he used it to grow a plant at his house

What kinda light does that flood put out.

Its just a regular 65w floodlight

get rid of the 13w's and get some 42w's, that'll give u about 3 times the light of the two 13w's

i really would like to put them into flowering soon..is it too soon?? if not I will start asap

UPDATE AGAIN!! Day 31
Day 1 flowering

So last night I decided to change the light cycle to 12/12. The plants had a month to veg so I figured I would start to flower them finally!!

Here are pics once I turned the lights back on this morning

oh and a few leaves got burned from the light, no biggy.

I do have a concern though, some of the tips of the leaves are turning brown and part of the leaf is dead? I dont know what it is.. I was thinking it could also be burn from the CFL's

damn good looking plants cant wait to see the bud on them

thanks man! I know other people on here have plants 10x better than mine who started growing around the same time as me..but this is my first grow and Im real happy with whats happened so far

Time to go puff

how much growspace up do you have, your plants will double or tripple in size

well i basically have 2 smaller rooms as my whole room..im growing in the room i dont sleep in so im willing to sacrifice as much space as i need to so i can grow..and how long after starting to flower can i sex them?

UPDATE AGAIN : Day 33
Day 3 flowering

Very nice looking considering the amount of light you are using also you let them stretch way too much, you should of replanted and buried them to the first set of leaves as stated earlier in your journal, you're growing bean stalks.

I also started with standard light bulbs (like a dumb ass) and had real bad stretching problems, as soon as I posted pics I was told to replant them to the first set of water leaves, I did that, added some cfl's and now my plants are growing nice and tight.

Thanks for the advice..I am going to replant them that way as soon as I determine sex and transplant them into bigger buckets

Cool but I would recommend putting some gravel or small rocks in the bottom of your pots, I read that somewhere after not doing it and now my plants are sinking in the pots, I may have to lift them out and ad some gravel but I'm a bit hesitant because I don't want to risk damaging any of them, as they are growing so well I may just leave them this go around.

The only thing is if I don't lift the plants up the bottoms of the plants will get no light, it's hard enough to get light to the bottoms of the plants to begin with, I may just trim the bottoms take a couple clones or something.

Keep up the good work keeping your babies alive!
