Porch Monkey Ghetto Grow

After last years attempt with 2 plants that was successful to a limit.

Im attempting to do 20. Counting on some being males. The major difference this year, will a bigger budget, including a plastic covering of the porch.

For now since it is too cold to over night them, the plants come inside in a warm spot with some evening light. i try to make sure they are inside if its below 55, and outside when its above.

The porch gets morning sun till about 1130am then from there it doesnt get any direct sun for the rest of the day. Its well hidden, and with the plastic no one can see when they start getting tall.

I started half of the seeds in peat pods and half of them germinating with a paper towel in a zip lock. About 2 weeks ago.

Im pretty sure some are ready to go into a 5 gallon bucket.

Ive never done a grow of this scale so im some wut of a noob but i do have lots of plant experience in general.

Ill take any info i can get.

This is where they are right now.

Those are extremely streched.

They look really stretched, are sure their getting enough light? Also I'd wait on the bigger pots till they grow more in nodes not height.

They must be only getting light from the right side, look how far their stetching that way.

They get rotated, the lean wutever way the sun is, and yes i would agree they are stretched but i can plant them deep.

Which is why i primarily said to go into bigger buckets, why do you think thats a bad idea?

Golly gee willickers Batman...Those marijuna plants are streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeched. They stretch when they arent getting enough light. The lighting you have will never be enough to sustain those over the length of the grow. Figure out something different, or dont waste your time. Theres no way thats gunna work...

Good luck homey!

noted.

dont think so huh?

my plants were small last year but produced some nice sticky buds. ive only spent a few bucks on plastic so i will keep it going. see wut happens.

i wish i had the extra money to start something inside. some of these guys have crazy plants.

planting them up to the leaves is about the only thing you can do to save them.... and its not necessarily a bad idea, its just that its obvious that you arent getting enough light to them because they are stretching so bad. Which means that if it isnt improved then they wont get any better.

the only thing i can do is count on the days getting longer.

eventually they will be outside all night and be able to get all the light there is to offer in that spot. so it will improve some.

yep! totally agree.

the days getting longer would help, can you not set them somewhere off the porch where they can get full sun instead of reaching for light off of it?

the plastic must be blocking the sunlight. if you ever have any kind of wind you will be doomed. they should have leaves that size and be about 2 inches high max. these people know what they are talking about trust me, figure out something different.

i dont have another spot.

this wouldnt be a ghetto grow if it wasnt ghetto.

i am in no way doubting any of these people.

racist prick

Get a fucking life and a sense of humor.

Are they just getting light say when the sun sets? As in the houes is blocking the sunrise? Maybe you could put them along the other edge of the house, or try putting them in the corner.

I would put em up on yor roof or somethin' so they get a little more light, because it looks like theyre not gettin the right amount of light. also they tend to like morning sun light better than afternoon.

What direction do the monkey's face when they are on the porch? If they face north northwest or northeast you don't have a good porch. Northwest could be fine during the main part of the summer, but in the fall it will be shady alot.

PROBLEM IS:

you are taking the plants in at night...and not putting them outside till late morning....

early morning is the most important light for plants and they arent getting any
