Id say you can fit 9 square 4 x 4 inch pots in a square foot.. so you have 6 square foot that could mean.. 56 small plants..

But not every strain is made for sea of green...

Just a little suggestion do alittle home work..... I only vegged for about 2 weeks this run and still ended up four foot tall plants...

so make sure... you have a strain.. that would be a good for a sea green project..

I have seen huge results with god bud and big bud....

thanks but if you dont mind im still not cleaar on a few things last things

56 plants that would be about what height at harvest time ...

i also dont get the 4x4 pots ..netted pots??? for rockwool??

In ebb n flow you want perfect pots... they are small square pots, usually black, And if you use coco coir, im my eye's taste better...
Net pots are used for dwc, and areoponics...
Now you get superstar and go with a all coco table..with homemade plastic dividers...
and rocks work great too..
I don't suggest rock wool thats euro thrash...

sorry man it took me so long... at first glance, it look great.. Then I saw small spots..
It looks like it's due to cold temps...
But It could be some kinda def...
BUt the strain doesn't look anything like the lowrider Ive seen...
But it does look like some dank...
and day 45 is close to be finished with lr right?
It appears that your buds still have another month left?

Apparently harvest time is day 67-70 from seed. Friday (tomm) is 7 weeks for me (or day 49) so im looking at around another 2 or 3 weeks.

The growth rate of flowering has slowed over the past few days which is making me think defficiency or lockout but i cant quite put my dinger on it. There is discoloartions forming in the bed fan leaves as well as crispier partially burnt leaves. I am almost certain this is a cause of over fert as well as a little ph inbalance. Hopefully these babies pack on some weight they look a little thin for my liking. Bud is top notch wuality though adn wreaks of something sweet and citrus. I agree though i havent seen another lowryder grow with the same traits as mine. we will see. I also seeded both ladies, maybe ill ship you a few seeds and have you grow it out to give an autoflower journal to everyone. nobody has seemed to harness the quality of these plants yet.

Pics of your plant look top notch as always. Good to see more quality things coming from your end. As always thanks for the advice.

Hey all;

im a first time grower using a hydro set up. Not too sure what to think about my 3 plants at the moment.
Their (first) bottom leaves are a little dark, twisted, and one plant has a crack and a brown spot. They are currently under a 1000 watt MH light, about 2 feet away. Temp(lights on 78, lights off 66) and humidity(40-50%) good.

Currently they are about 3-4 inches tall, and on 1/2 strength nutes being watered 2-3 times a day. I had scheduled to move them to full strength as of monday night. Roots of two plants have now reached the reservoir. Gradually introducing them to the nutes.

my res temp is about 72 deg, and my ph is around 5.5 to 6.0.( i have shitty cheap droplet ph tester)
I also have a fan on them currently 24/7 but i have since changed it to come on when the lights come on.

I have attached photos.

Any help is appreciated. Not sure if I should be worried or if i am worrying for nothing.
The strain is Bubblegum, seeds bought from marijuana-seeds.nl

Thanks

looks like it was a bit over nuted at the beginning but the new growth looks healthy, hold back on the nutes for a bit

ok so my ladys are ok....THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP MAN..... then im not using nuts cuz i was told that the organic soil is all they need is this true ...every were i looked said organic is best but hard to do cuz it has time release nuts feed for three months the mix on that is 15-15-15 i can get stronger if i need you less all i ever see is ppl using liquid nut will the food in the soil be ok ??

would a 125watt red spectrum envirolight , and 20watt warm cfl be enough to flower 2 plants in a grow cab measuring, 61cm wide, 1.2m tall and 1.5 ft deep?

I have a current stealth grow going and I want to know when to transfer pots.

I currently have lowlife ak47 in a peat pot placed in a 4 inch pot with seed starter mix.
The roots are growing through the peat pot.

Should I transfer to a better medium now? like a good soil mix?

And what size pot should i use for a pc case with the height of 17"
I want the best possible yield for my grow.

Thats great thanks man appreciate it.

I have a 4th that is starting to sprout out of the rockwool cube. I will wait a little longer than i did with my bubblegums to give it Nutes.

Yeah the new growth looks good.
What i have done now is removed the drip lines from the 3 of them since their roots are now touching in the reservoir.

Cheers.

i have just done this....went from soil to dwc in hydroton. I have the water about half way the the net pots... ( 6 inch net pots)is this okay? And how much bubble is needed? I have 1 air stones in a 27 gal resivior ( think the air stones are about 12 inches maybe longer, i forget. Im using floranova bloom and a 400w hps...
since i moved them some of the leaves have wilted pretty badly.....i think i had the light way too close, i raised it to where its about 18-20 inches above them now.... think things will be okay? sinsi star strain if it matters, and also....how long until the roots start to REALLY begin to flourish???

is hard fertilizer okay they are pelets or like little rocks and they are all different colors i ordered it in from mexico i had some tomato plants that wouldnt grow now matter how much chicken shit i put on them, then i put some of then nuts from mexico and they shot right up. i put them on my weeds already what do you guys think? good or no good?

the beautiful thing about pot.. is they will grow no matter what..
Let me show you a picture of a plant aI dropped a box fan on and almost lost it... I did lose all the stuff up top, But the plant rejueved itself and can back was a great yeilder, if you mess up the plant will switch it's energy to a different part of the plant...












30 mintues later



you think all hope was lost well about a month later
it switched it's growth small yeild but it lived

I don't know if I fucked up. I was topping my 2 and a half week vegger who was doing fantastic. Great internodal growth. I accidentally topped underneath the fullest leaves under the new growth. In other words, one internodal spacing below what I was supposed to. Did I just fuck up??

Yeah I would like to cross a auto-flowering with my new seeds I just popped, its a northern lights x bigbud cross.. I am keeping a NL x BB father plant..

Yeah I had some nute burn too.. But the weird thing is, two strains side by side same strain same height, one would have nute burn and the other wouldn't I feed them all the same at the same time with the same amount..

Thats why next run im using 100% true organics made from kitchen compost and coco..

This is something I find common in all my grows,
so I breaking down and buying a PPM meter here very soon..

And for the rest of the summer I am running 3/4 of everything outside and will be feeding the seperatly..

Soon we can trade beans...

Ok, I have 6 feminized skunk plants going in 3 gal pots, using a 400watt met halide/hps combo lamp, plants are doing well about 4-5 inches tall,but very bushy with big leaves... is this ok? my questions are how tall do I let them grow in veg stage, they are about 3 weeks in from seed, how long (time wise) do I let them grow in veg stage or do I go by height? before switching to hps and flower stage? and how long in flower stage do I let them grow for? If I am asking obvios questions I apologize, it seems everybody has diff. strains and diff time frames. I am just trying to learn as they grow so I don't screw them up... Thanks for any input you can offer... g

hey i was just wondering if there was any way to tell if my plant will be good bud? i am not sure what kind of seed i used, got it from a freind.

im a first time grower and and the only light i have is 1000 hps. is that light to strong for the 2 week old plants. im growing big bud

Hi fella,

I have 3 tents

Tent 1 = 6 plants in 11 litre square pots, in 3rd week flower after 4 week veg, buds started showin in 2nd week, still small though.. Used Ionic Grow, Bloom, Boost..
Tent 2 = 5 Plants in same pots, 2nd week flower, after 5 weeks veg.. Buds just startin, same nutes etc..
Tent 3 = 1 Mother, which I was going to kill after clones failed.. Light was off for 3 days, an no water was given, then thought I would try an bring her back an leave to go on own in whole tent, see how big she goes, lol..

Anyway my questions are, I am planning on it being ready in tent 1 after 6 weeks flower that right?? When 80% of the things are brownish??

Been reading up alot, learnt loads of ere..

I think my mother will survive, its only been 2 days since light went back on, yellownish has started going quite quick, an greenish leaves are back like..

I am a novice grower, 1st time.. So I wanna find out the best way for me to get best yeild, tryed different things with regards to nutes, all noted down lol
Do you think there will be much difference in 4 week veg, to 5 week veg??

Nice one if you answer anything lol

KEEP SMOKIN!!

okay so im a little confused, i have heard from many diffrent ppl that pots are basically a foot a gallon..so therefore a 3 gal pot will only grow a plant 3 feet tall, but on the other hand i have heard of people growing 3 feet plants in 16oz cups!!!so whats right because i defiantly want my plants taller than 3 feet but only have 3gal pots should i buy new pots 4 or mayb 5 gal...
thanks

You can have a 4 or 5 foot plant in a 3 gal container, but i would still get the bigger one so mary can spread her roots.
