Here to help... Ask me anything

my plant is drooping all over, its been fine the first 22 days but i think there is a problem. im growing in an areogarden pro, this has happened a few days back but my plant grew back its strength and stiffned up. i fill the water res. back up every week and use the AG nutes every 2 weks. here are some pics.

PLEEZ Help me. My plants are 2 weeks 2 1/2 inches==6.4cm they are in 5inch==13cm deep styrofoam cups. medium is 1pt fox farm ocean forest 1pt coco coir 1pt sand 1pt perlite. so far all is good, but the roots are growing out the bottom through the holes for drainage. I am going to transplant them into 3gal===11.5L pots. my question is. Should i do this now or when they get taller? the roots are 3in==7cm out of the holes. i put a taller cup under the top one to catch the drainage but the roots are growing down into that cup of drainage water that is 7.2ph dirt is 7.0ph

i put my plants in to flowering mode its about 12 and half hours of darkness and the rest of the hours its light on... its been about 6 days and no signs of sex i vegged 4 weeks after 2 weeks of germinating. in total 6 weeks from seed.. on the 7th week now... flowering.. whats my issues.. i have pictures on my post... if you click down i had issues when added anohter 3 gallons of soil... but i flushed it down with water and gave it a feeding of molasses...

Hey M.O.G.
I asked this in a different thread but didn't get much of a response.
I've got some seeds trying to germ now in paper towel. Got one split put it in rockwool cube, and put it in plastic container with saran wrap w/ holes on top. Then I set it on heated tile floor. Should I have a fl light on it? How moist should it be? And is the heat good right now?
One more thing what type of small cfl will work for seedlings? Is a 14w warm ok?
Thanks in advance for any and all advice?

p.s. how long will I be a stranger?

Dear master,

I am glad you made this thread,It's really informative and helpful. You sir are a beakon of light in a sea of blood. Its nice to read the answers to the questions people have,and when I disagree with something you say, I then bring up my concern. It is not meant to diss you,but more or less a shared knowlege from one grower to another. Alot of the main problems have a simple solution,and some are just a bitch. All I really am saying is, thankyou for the entertainment you present.

Lol,well
The real answers are in the growers them selves
if you a cool laid back person then you grow cool laid back buds, but if you always on the edge and can't chill, then you'll bud will display your childishness..
I was growing just veggies in back yard most of my adult life..
I know that shit to the T,
When people get down to the science of it they lose respect for God..
Regardless, If you look outside, the world is blooming without you..
I am just shining the light at the end of tunnel to let the blind find the way..

thats respect for mother earth..

Yea, I ordered some high-quality seeds, and did everything I was suppose to and there not doing anything. I planted them inside about a month ago. I'm thinking about transplanting them outside somehow. But I would much rather keep them inside. Any advice as to why there not growing and what I can do to make them start. Would greatly appreciate any good advice.

im using Black gold african violet mix. do you have any experience with this soil and what do you think is a good nute regimen to start and when?

No I haven't ever used it. BUt It looks to have the right mixture...
I'd say your good

I'd start it off on just good nute's
foxfarm is always a good starter

If they are a month old and have done nothing. There are not worth keeping, but nothing is a strong word so...
What is nothing mean...
Sprouted and came up, or grew alittle then just stoped and how many leaves does it have?

I hear so many bad stories about people ordering seed and nothing happends..

Id say get cut's or get directly from a breeder...

heyyy back again, my plants are looking great so far, they are standing strong and are begining to suprise me with their growth,
the website that i ordered from gave me free seeds for ordering, these seeds include thai super skunk and pure gold, both of which im not to sure of their hieight, i was thinking that i would like to grow them but since im a stealth grower am thinking that this is impossible unless i somehow stunt their growth, is that possible at all? (healthy or unhealthy)?
thanks again MOF

I don't know about the pure gold, But both skunk#1 and Thia both grow very tall,(sativa's)

I would not suggest anything with the word thia for stealth

Where did you order your beans from.. I am trying to pick some up too..

yeah it took 7 days to the jersey shore, i bought a pack of lowryder 2 feminized which was 60 dollars us, if you spend more than 2 cents which is their current deal on their home page you get five seeds free, so if you order some then you can get even more of them for no charge, i shipped mine with their t-shirt stealth shipping but the dvd case for less than a buck works as well, many people say that they dont even ask for stealth and it still arrives,, they are a very reputable source.
i know i asked already but what do you think about growing them small against their genetics, possible? impossible? worth the attempt?
my idea was just to limit their pot size, im no expert i have no idea what will happen

im using my t5 ATM to veg 3 new babies i got in hydroton on a continuous drip system, im thinking of moving those into DWC buckets...whats your opinion??
my flowering plants are 4 feet 1" and 4 feet 3" the measurement i remembered was with the bucket, my bad...i was high
i watered 2 days ago with 1/2 strength nutes and tomorow ill start flushing them, or should i wait since im not sure theyll be done in 2 weeks??
anyways i pruned about a good 8-10 inches of branches off the botom of both the plants most of em barley had any bud on em, the higher branches have some decent buds and the top 2 feet of both plant are beautiful

thanks for your feedback

Hell yeah 5ft with a 250 nice bro!,.
Yeah for sure shave that girl up, or stick your T5 under...
You could have flower another plant with that T5..
I am strickly a HID grower but I won't deny that the T5 are great for veg and flwr...

A lil root bound is good, I don't know if i told you but some nice buds man...

You have a sativa domn hybrid plant most likely...
Let me show you a pic of my friends plant, that was huge in day 110 of flower.. It was a long flowering strain sour thai... And look at the nute burn that is the same.. His ended up being great!!

Can you transplant rockwool cubes into soil? When you start seeds in rockwool, do you just wet the cubes, plant the seed in the whole, and wait for a sprout?

cubes in soil works great, and yes you can just pop a seed in and let it grow but its better to germinate the seeds first in wet paper towel sandwiched between 2 plates then plant the seed with a taproot into the presoaked (soak in ph 5.5 water overnight) rockwool cube and water the cube once its just damp but not dry

hope you dont mind master, not trying to take your thread

My life would be so much easier if somebody could please answer my questions? They're on page 27. I want to grow some good stuff but theres always room to learn.
