my experiment

missaslady420 · Dec 31, 2008

ok so i call this an experiment only because it was....i got a twenty of train wreck and was pissed when i found seeds in it...then jokingly threw them in a pot i had sitting just outside my bedroom door...now almost 4weeks later...i have this! i have a very minimal set up and have no clue how to care for this gorgeous plant. im quite happy with my success to this point but want to care for it properly. the little picture is what poped up on dec 8th! and the others were taken today!

is there a question or are you just telling us?

imabirdietoo · Dec 31, 2008

nice experiment. it is a little stretched tho. see how the nodes get closer together as it gets to the top? that is because it was streatching trying to get to the light. and now that its there it doin its thing. you are probably want to get a better light, and put it closer to the plant.
if you really dont know anything.. there is a faq on the top, also just reading on here works well too... just click on things that look interesting and read. you will def. find all of your answers if you look hard enough. good luck from a fellow noob

that thing is going to die a potless twig. time to buy some cfls and start over?

missaslady420 · Dec 31, 2008

im pretty confident that i'll get something out of it... im doin this for hobby not profit. lets stick to the..."if u don't have anything nice to say dont say anything at all. i was looking for advice? comments? feedback. who knew pot heads could be so uptight and bitchy?

i hope this wasnt pointed at me. i wasnt trying to have my post come off in a negative way. just seeing if you were asking for help with it or if you were just excited you got some plants to sprout.

the only foreseeable problem I see is the weight up the buds being too much for the elongated stalk...but support sticks (which I think I see you have) will help. Has it been under any sort of light schedule? Cause when you say you just stuck it outside your bedroom I'm under the impression that it was just sitting there without any special attention. Pretty impressive that you got that though.

missaslady420 · Dec 31, 2008

very basic set up. i have a ge plant light on 24/7. with a reflector wall. its potted with basic miracle grow and i water it almost daily with bong water. lol. its an experiment that is going pretty well.

there's one in every crowd, isn't there? anyway, growing pot indoors is about as difficult as growing a house plant, except for security issues.

some thoughts:

you are going to need a lot more light to get a decent amount of bud. this is the big difference between pot and a house plant.

the other things to think about are soil, watering schedule and fertilizers. all of these need to be done right to get a good yield as opposed to growing a pretty plant. as stated earlier, read the faq and stickies on this site and you'll get plenty of ideas on how to grow.

really wanna experiment!? slam that badboy under a 400hps 12/12 for a couple montsh and see what happens

Under-Mi-Sensi · Dec 31, 2008

Bravo! Bravo!

Definitely needs more light, and be careful about over-watering, I've made that mistake before.

But Hey! Everyone starts somewhere right? :weed:

GreenLeaf420 · Dec 31, 2008

It needs more light and correct kind of light. It isn't incandescent plant light what you have now is it? They have very little use as a 'true growing light' sorry if that's not what you want to hear but it's the truth. You'll want CFLs (compact fluorescent) lamps in correct spectrums depending on what phase the plant is in.

I find myself saying that from time to time on here.

Im with chazel, get some good lights(CFL are cheapest, 400w hps=$300-400) find a place to put it where it can be in a light tight area (spare closet, storage room, attic) and put it on a 12 on 12 off light cycle to see if it is in fact a female. If it is you will know with in the first 2 weeks.
It looks pretty tall already and once you change the light cycle it will double or tripple in size in just a matter a few weeks to a month so you dont want it getting to tall before you switch it.
Its a experiment anyway, if you get anything to smoke at all its gunna be awesome. Hell even if its a male its still cool to get a grow under your belt and see how they develope

Under-Mi-Sensi · Dec 31, 2008

Hell, I got my 400 watt HPS with a new bulb for $110 on eBay!

Stoney Jake · Dec 31, 2008

Very nice! The only thing I have ever bought online was seeds and I havent got them yet :-P

The reflector/ combo ballast cost me about $200 400w bulb was still about $90. I bought all my stuff new like a chump lol

I was being a wussy about buying online. Even with the seeds I got a prepaid credit card and had the seeds sent to a family members house with stealth shipping.lol

I wasn't trying to be rude or write a bitchy responce. I was trying to steer you into the right direction so your plant would grow better.

GreenLeaf420 · Dec 31, 2008

This is the only light your plant has gotten?

Also if you only want to hear responces like "Very nice!" "Good going!" when you're not doing something right then good for you and good luck learning. You need to be able to take advice and criticism (not saying you need to take crap from people though).

Anyway, good luck with the plant.

You just need to buy one or two of these $20 lights and you can then start growing actual healthy looking plants that yield you a few ounces:
