2ndGenerationSkunk · Feb 22, 2008

ok thiis my first grow and i dont really know what kind the plants are. they are bagseed and are just a mixture of different seeds. but this is a hobbie i jusat picked up so any advice would be helpful and i will keep you posted on the progress. my setup is cheap and i currently have 2 light that are like 40w and im investing in a 3rd. i went a little crazy on my #s and had 21 sprouts but 2 died so im at 19. here are some pics of a little of my setup and some of my nicer plants. they are at about day 7-10 of sprouting.

Is that a flora tube?? you need to get that down on top of them so close they can kiss you have major stretchage!!!!

pinksensa · Feb 22, 2008

Dont you see how some are at an angle toward the light? Poor girls would move in circles if that lite did...

2ndGenerationSkunk · Feb 22, 2008

yeah thats a grow tube. and i know they are stretched. will it be okay to let them grow until they touch or should i move it down right now??

smokingbot · Feb 22, 2008

they are stretched pretty badly dude.. they need the light about 2 inches away, your probably going to have to prop them all too.

2ndGenerationSkunk · Feb 22, 2008

yeah thats what i figured. ive already had to prop 2 of them and i was looking and i believe i will have to prop about 2 more later. :wall:

another question. .do you guys think i need to transplant them? there is like 1 little root coming out of the drain holes on the bigger ones in the brown pots.

I was just about to say the best thing would to be to pick your favs cause are you really prepared to care for 19 screaming girls? Pic your fav and then get at least 12 inch pots and bury her almost up to her neck where the pre leaves are and then keep that light 2 inches away and she will bush like nobodys business look how bushy my girl is in my grow journal....hope it helps wink

You need to go out and buy some BIG DEEP pots and repot those babies...plant them in the soil until there's maybe 1" from the leaves sticking outa the soil...get your lights closer...i'd say about 1" from them...it doesn't matter if they grow into the light they don't get very hot at all...but for as many plants as your growin???.....get an MH/HPS setup...flouro's and cfl's won't cut it at all.

2ndGenerationSkunk · Feb 22, 2008

yeah man i appreciate it. i will keep you posted with pics..that makes me feel better, i thought all hope was lost. but as soon as i can i will select through the plants and get some pots. thanks again man :smile:

.

oh do you think that those bulbs will be ok? they are all i can afford for a while.

Ha Ha...shit man sorry didn't see you posted that already...lmao...think i need to have another toke.

what is the cheapest i can get a MH or HPS light system for, and will i have to have exhaust sytems. . i have a window but i wanna keep it as covert as possible. and save as much on the electric bill also. . im a cheap ass.

To be honest NO not at all. Your plants are already stretched...keeping what you have isn't going to do any good. I'd say get a few moew shop lights and get all your plants under them...maybe in sections of like 6-7 plants under each shop light...make sure your tubes are daylight 6500K.

Trying to grow that many plants you will need ventalation, and odor control. Being a "cheap ass" your better off to just grow 4-5 plants with what you got. It takes time and money to grow good pot, going and trying to grow 19 plants with less then minimal light and supplies is the WORST mistake you can make...read up on how to grow and what you need to grow before you grow.

You can get an HPS system for about $100.

i believe i can do 7 per light, i need to buy another one though.
another question. ive heard that indoor raised plants are kinda spoiled pansies. . if i take and plant some outside when they get bigger do you think they will survive?

2ndGenerationSkunk · Feb 22, 2008

yeah i understand that i kinda jumped into things too early. i am gonna give about half or more of my plants to my friend and just focus on maybe 5-8 plants ( i know thats still too many but im gonna buy more lights). thanks for the advice

Never heard that...but your plants will grow alot bigger outdoors then indoors...mainly cause we control them...whereas outside nature takes control.

AS for putting them outside..i don't know...where do you live? and is it cold there?...does it get below 60 at night?

homegrownboy · Feb 22, 2008

Your welcome...that would be a good idea...let him grow half and you grow half, that way you can compare to each other's, and help each other along the way.

2ndGenerationSkunk · Feb 22, 2008

yeah that was my plan he gave me the seeds anyway. and right now it gets like freezing at night so i know they wont make it. . if i could just get them to make it till summer. :roll:
