Hey, I'm a new grower, and I'm currently in the middle of my first grow. Half a week into flowering, I placed an air stone powered by a 20gal rated pump into the bottom of my girl and she responded quite nicely to it. I then went out and purchased another 6in airstone and a 100gal rated pump...

Hey man, this thread is awesome. +reps for so many of you guys. Currently I'm running roughly 800W (including ballasts) worth of CFLs (not all in one grow area though). I'm hoping to switch to induction lights after I make some money and seriously decrease my power consumption. If you had...

Yo son, did you not read the rest of this? If you want to do something like this you need to READ READ READ, spend some money on a lab kit, sterilizing equipment and a whole fuckton of other shit. Just clone the old fashioned way or breed and get seeds.

Its been a few days since pics, time to do some. I have started seeding out one of the stems, the last picture is of one of the flowers I pollenated. Each one of the bud shots is of a different top. This isn't pictured, but I added 3 litres of water mixed with blackstrap unsulphured molasses...

I second that^. I was planning on using blackstrap molasses, I've heard that molasses helps the nutrients already in the soil and plant bind better and therefore are more readily accepted. I guess we'll see though, no harm in trying

Bump, Hey, does anyone have any info on molasses? I've been reading up on it and have no real evidence one way or the other on whether it works.

Hey man, I'd say make sure you get good nutes, good soil that has plenty of air, I'd say go for coco, perilite and vermiculite. In addition, I've found through my own experiments that putting an airstone or two connected to a big pump at the bottom of each plant can really boost production. If...

I'm keeping them and cutting my personal energy usage otherwise by a lot. I only have to run the big guys until the main baby is done, then I'll put through the rest of the plants and by then I'll be able to go outdoors. PLANS SON!!!!

Well I found out that phone, computer and Ipod chargers are considerably huge wattage and run a large portion of the day. I also went around and unplugged anything that isn't too terribly useful. KZ and I figured out that my wattage was somewhat closer to 800 or so in terms of growing power...

Actually I've been crunching numbers and I think that leaving things as thy are is just fine. The 700w only costs like 30$ where I am. Ill just pay the extra, unles my roommates are just pounding out watts on amps or tvs.

Yo, I'm subbed, this is so fucking cool. Seriously son, bravo. How much did that cost?

Well in the mail, came a bill for the electricity. I live in an apartment and the utilities are included. I totalled up my wattage cost and its upwards of 700W. I have to cut some of my programs for now.

Bump, Oh please bump this. This has to be one of the funniest threads in existence on RIU.

Yo son, if you can, veg under both using the tubes as side lighting. You can get those floros a whole hell of a lot closer to avoid stretching. Get it to like an inch away with the floros, just make sure you have a fan going.

In order to get a better spectrum on my main girl, I put in two new 27W Blue CFLs, I'm pretty sure they are 5000k and I added a 25W UV CFL to increase potency. The flowers are really going on the plant, and KZ came over today and helped me LST the plant down because it had just grown way too...

As of tonight, 8 seedlings have started in my little solo cup box grow. I came up with a design last night after taking a bong rip, a design that might allow for a really simple pseudo hydro grow. Take a 18gal rubbermaid and drill holes in the bottom for drainage and place on top of a shallow...

Hey I used MG in the beginning of this grow and it worked amazingly! My plant got to close to 2 feet in main stem length with just MG houseplant concentrate. I only just started using CNS17 Bloom nutes. https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-growing/403190-315w-cfl-grow.html MG can do work, especially...

Hey man, you're grow is looking pretty good. With pots that small I would recommend using something I did, get an aquarium pump and a small airstone and insert it into the bottom of the pot to blow air through the roots then douse them with water. My girl loves it.

Thanks, Lee.

My female has now been under 12/12 for 2 weeks and 4 days. The buds are starting to grow, and my plant is continuing to get really big. I can't wait to see what happens when the new nutes kick in. I had to lst the main stem down today because it was a good 5 inches taller than everything else...
