The Official Ghetto Growers Group

wuts up mistioud,
i have tried the MRSing, it works wonders! lol
and about the spectrums, yes you want mostly blue for vegg, and mostly yellow/red for flower. in nature the sun is much stronger in the summer, with mostly blue PAR(photosythiclly active radiation) witch is what plants use from light(not lummens, LUX, watts etc..)
and mostly yellow/red/far red PAR in the winter. so to follow "mother nature" you would want **example** 6 5600k cfls and 2 2700k for vegg, and 5 2700k, 1 5600k cfls for flowering. seems sketchy to drop power when starting flowering, but actually increases yeild and potency, increases the productivity of photoperiods because the plant actually "feels" like its becoming fall/winter.

i was just looking through some of the post in this forum and i think i finally found a place where i fit in how can i get in this ghetto growers group ? check my sig and let me know am i worthy enough

what up jumbo, thank you, LoL. knew it was something like that, just couldnt find it in my notes, i'll copy that so i'll have it.

yeah thanks, she was a wild ass plant. yeah nice bulbs, but watch out for heat/temp problems though depending on the size of grow box.

just got done LSTing the HOLY HELL out of my blue dream mother plant and put her in the flowering room. i mean you guys seen the pics of the last blue dream clones.. 4 inches tall to 3-3 1/2 feet during flowering. this 3 1/2ft tall mother plant is going to be incredible i believe. it looks alot like your "super pin wheel" plant concord haha
ill have pics soon
n glad i could help out CD =] lol

This is what I got to see when I woke up ! Some of them sprouted. I hope they look healthy. I am not exactly sure how much I should be watering I also moved some cups around and moved the lights as you can see in the pic just until my supplies get here this week.

hell yeah, the little beans are on there way, good job man.

yeah, wanna see those pics jumbo.

Well after only 17 days of 24 hour light I have one of my plants showing sex. It is a male but I need the pollen anywayView attachment 1217494View attachment 1217495. I have two others that were started at the same time but they are not showing sex yet.

well, males tend to show first, so that might be a good sign. 17 days? thats pretty cool.

Made it so the soil was at the brim. I felt the little guys werent all receiving adequate light. Now all of them are getting cfl instead of it being blocked by an inch of cup. Took the reflective shields off for that reason as well. and hung the fan like so. on speed 2 yay. cant wait to be using 5 lights

yeah, need more light for sure, but looking good!!

heres a pic of that mother plant. camera died on me.. ill get some better close up when she starts bending back towards the light

yeah man 17 days, Shortstuff seeds has top shelf autos

if you cut the top off, it will give you more tops, once they form, you can tie them down, Low Stress Training. heres a couple pic of my first plant, new bean, she was sweet. i topped her day 12, and then later tied her down, the pic is what i ended up with, 5 main colas, would have been 6, but i broke off one of the branches pulling it down, gotta watch that, LoL. got just over 2 oz.

For those of you planting autos keep in mind that low stress training is not ideal for autos with short lifespans because there really isn't enough time for the plant to deal with the stress and put out all the buds. I have some experience with LST on auto AK47 and I'm getting better yields without the LST.

Otherwise, I would LST a normal plant aggressively during grow and moderatly during bloom. In my opinion LST is all about letting light through the canopy and not about "grooming" the plant. If you want to groom a plant get a bonsai.

all good points there NL, i tied new bean down and in the pic i posted all the smaller buds had already been cut off due to testing, LoL. but it did make a difference for sure. also, cloning is useless with autos, right NL? my next grow, i think im just gonna top them and let them go.

I think they looking goood. I have them on a 24 hours schedule. I get my timer and and fan tomorrow I think. Would it be wise to have a 18/6 or 20/4 schedule. Also, since I am changing its schedule will it have a negative effect?

yeah bro, looking good, your on your way. you need to get more light on them soon or they will start stretching bad and you dont want that. i believe in the 18/6 then to 12/12 light cycles, some may say different. if you go to the 18/6 now, they will be ok.

all the info I have come across on autos say that you shouldn't top them. the life span is so short that FIMing the will only hurt your yield. As for the cloning Being a no go their is always the option of pollinating them and producing your own seeds. Just order regular seeds. I have 3 shortstuff autos that are just under three weeks old. 2 of them are clearly showing sex already. one male and one female. the other looks like it is probably male but I can't tell yet I have three more started 2 days ago. I also have a dinafem roadrunner auto but I want to collect pollen first so I can pollinate a branch or two

Changing your light should not effect anything. Although once you have it on a schedule You want to keep it the same. In other words pick one 20/4 18/6 and stick with it.
