ok so i just started off growing me a mary jane plant this is stressing me out becasue i am using a ten gallon fish tank to veg. them in i planted them mon. today is tuesday but im worried i may over water them or not have a good light i have two plants both have their own pots to grow in i put tin foil up all over the sides of the tank(inside) and its a pretty noticable temp diff so any info i can get would be helpful.lighting,watering and nutrition are my main concerns...and for all the people who say tinfoil or alum. foil is bad..YOUR WRONG..my friend had 3 pounds off of three plants grown this way

Then ask your friend.... he knows best... LOL 3 of 3 plants in a tin-man 10 gallon fish tank?

I will tell you what you dont want to hear.... Get them out of the fish tank... set them on paper plates if you must for your run off not to ruin your carpet. Your tin foil is going to create alot of heat.. too much heat.. Dont worry about your reflection material as much as your plant.. Your flat white paint in your closet is better then your tinfoil...

good Luck

Foil is bad. It will unevenly reflect light and create hot spots.


I'm not exactly sure what your question is...

If you think you over-watered your plants you probably did, not much you can do about it now. For lighting you won't need much for the first week or two

possibly swap tin foil for mylar? this seems to crop (excuse the pun) up alot as a better alternative to tin foil.

3 pounds off of three plants grown in a 10 gallon fish tank lined with tin foil? How many years did it take?

Your friend has delusions of grandeur and apparently sucked you in, hook, line and sinker.

Sure, let's put the tin and aluminum myth aside for a moment. This dude is expecting to grow 3 frigging pounds of ganja in a 10 gallon fish tank. All at once!

Will a 10 gallon fish tank even hold 3# of freshly harvested bud?

ha...don't ask me.... maybe he knows something we don't

maybe if you let them veg for months and only used the tank as a container to hold the soil instead of using a 5 gallon flower pot....yeah, you can do it... maybe thats what he meant...ha...

Kewl, I got my seeds from neuclearfusion.gov/tmi and they did the same thing. I just put two drops of the magic solution on the seeds and they were 8' tall in a week.

They did send you the magic solution, didn't they?

mylar is a reflective material that people buy from hydro shops... you can use flat white paint or this material used for car reflection.....

ok... outside is your goal... leave them in the tank, take them out it doesnt matter. Foil is bad. as long as your temps arent f*ed up your fine. ITS A WEED! very hardy.

I love how you ask for help and at the same time insult anyone who doesn't agree with you and your mysterious friend.

If you don't agree with everyone on the site, then why ask our advise?

Write your friend a letter, use code words. Should be fun. It seems as if he knows just as much as anyone on this misguided site.

wait... so youre putting them outside eventually? if so have a fan on them 24/7 get those stems nice and strong.

and about the watering always do heavy waterings but further spaced apart. better for the roots. and ya you were right about the patience. if you don't know whats wrong or what they need dont fuck with em.
