k so, i started off with two seedlings .... but one has a purple stem so im growing them seperately. my other plant however is doing great ... the nodes are sooo close together and ya its goin slowly but surely and im in no rush ... sorry for the blurry pics but its the only camera i got right now .....
my humidity is around 50% ... and my temp is around 80degrees ... im using 3 weak 20ish watt spiral lights and 1 24" Flour tube ... id like to get more wattage lights but cant afford it right now so for flowering ill defintely be getting more but thats atleast a month away. should i raise my humidity or is that fine ?








FYI people .... i would love to hear critisicm and tips .... it would be very useful as this is my 2nd time growing ... first time succesfull ( so far) also this plant is stunted like crazy .... its 5 weeks old and soo small .... but like i said im in no rush so if its a female ... im good to go :D
 
ya on my last pic theres a fan and theres a window like a foot away that i leave open for fresh air ......... i cant afford more light unfortunately .... but when i am able to ... veg or flower ... ill be heavily investin in bigger CFL watts and more lumens .... what is the suggested lumen for veg and for flower ?
 
Hey bro Im kinda in your boat I have a really small set up I have only 2 plant's in my closet but I use CFL to cause imn only 19 and im not made of money to buy a 3,000 dollar set up but I went and bought the new T-5 HO 48 Light system it has 8 54watt lights and it push's 40,000 lumens I payed $269.00 and got the bulbs for free It's working great right now my plants are still in the veg state but when i want to flower and go on a 12/12 get T5 54W HO Lamp Red 3000° K 4ft. and a T5 54W HO Lamp Blue 6500° K 4ft. and just swap out 2 of the othe bulbs and I dont care what anyone says for the price and a small set up thats the way to go check out this site it has really good and cheap CFL light's and set up's .: Sunlight Supply - horticulture and aquarium lighting systems :. Website good luck bro!
 
aewsome .... ya i donno if i wanna drop 260 on something like that ..... but do you got any pics of your grow so i could see how it really works ? ... when i get more money. ... im gonna invest in 8 CFLs just like your setup .... except ill have regular bulb plug ins with a dual adaptor that converts one bulb to two .... as you can see in the 4th pic .... i have my veg down below .... its about 2'widex2'longx3'high ....... and the upper area ill be using for flowering and in some cases the last week of veg ... 2'widex2'longx5'high .... im most likely going to add one light on the veg area to make 4 CFL's and 1 24" flour tube ...... then the flower area id have 8 CFL's and 2 24" Flour Tubes .... to anyone else does this sound like itd be a good setup ?
 
How loing are you letting your plants be on a 18/6(veg) I mean like when do you decide when to 12/12 it and start flowering? obviously ima newbie to so I should have pic's some time tonight I used a disposable camera and dropped it off at long's haha pic's of weed and weed set up but Im straight cause i got my cannibus card so as soon as I upload em ill show you
 
i had them in a 24hour for the first 2 weeks after germination .... then i switched to 18/6 ... and as of yesturday i switched back to 24/ because there A stunted ... and B not gettin the amount of light they should when lights are on .... personally ... ive never flowered before but upon research ill be flowering in 3 weeks ( makes them 2 months old ) and apparently they double or sometimes triple in size during flower .... but before i flower im gonna clone them .... it also depends on the strain how long you veg for ... i myself wouldnt go by that .. id flower once i thought it was big enough ... whats longs ? and thats fuckin rad you got your canibus card .. fuckin california livin .. must be nice
 
well the card is nice the cancer is not=( and I know this is a dumb newb question but how do you clone plant's??? and one last question how do you know if you got a female or male???
 
sorry to hear about the cancer ... my dad my aunt and my grandpa have cancer too .....but my dads the only one that smokes reefer as his is not a serious cancer if you can understand that ..... anyone theres not really a such thing as a dumb noob question .... ive never cloned a plant yet as im a noob but from my research ... you cut on a 45 degree angle off the node ( basically cut a leaf with part of the stem ) get a small non clear cup or something similar ... fill it with soil ( not sure if its soil with nutes or not ) and plant her in there like you would with a seed .... to my knowledge thats cloning .... i also think you need a cloning/rooting gel or powder .... telling the sex of a plant .... once youve vegged it ... you flower it ... and with in a few weeks of flowering you should see 2 Pistols comin out from where each node is .... thats a female ... if theres tiny balls ... size of a bb gun pellet maybe ..... then its a male ... those balls will eventually turn into pods ....
 
to clone a plant you have to take a branch of a bigger mother plant, cut it on an angle. Then place it in water about 4 inches up the stem (make sure you have cut at least 6 in ch clone) keep it in the water until the branch starts to grow roots then you can plant it but if youlive in canada and grow outdoors then its hard to do it you also need controled lighting so i would say its pretty hard but worth it in the end.
 
not knockin ya but you dont need a a big mother plant to clone ... you can grow/veg a baby and before you flower .. cut off a node ( 1 leave with stem attached to it) and put it in soil
 
GET A FLOR TUBE LIGHT ITS 20 WATTS. AND ITS A BLUE SPECTRUM AND PUT YOUR PLANTS 2 INCHES FROM THE LIGHT IT WONT BURN THEM AND YOUR PLANT WILL ROCKET WITHIN A WEEK. TRUST ME. :d
 
ya i got one like 3 days ago .... or something like that .... i guess i didnt have it close enough to the plant it was like 6 or 7 inches away .... so today i took your advice and put it pretty much on top the plant but not touching... im hoping for some good results ... i also switched back to 24 hour lighting 2 days ago so im hoping to see some quicker growth
 
neither of these cloning methods said above are really effective.
if you use soil to clone, you almost MUST use a rooting hormone of some sort. and ive never heard of anyone cloning marijuana by leaving it in standing water. from my experiences standing water becomes stagnant even if alge does not become a problem.

DONT try to clone leaves. that wont get you anywhere.find a small branch prefferably near the bottom that has leaves growing out of it. preferably a 4" branch that has a second set of nodes coming off of it. cut it at 45 degree angle, trim off leaves near the bottom, scrape off the outer skin very gently with a clean razor only about an inch up from the bottom , add rooting hormorne. take said soil and put it into said pot, poke hole in soil with pen/pencil 1" down . put clone 1" down into soil and cover with a humidity dome. ( half of a clear 2 liter plastic bottle works good for a soil dome) and put 2000 lumens of fluros on it. spray it lightly 2 times daily with ph'd (or rain) water for 5 days. then water it like a seedling plant.
dont pull it up to check for roots. after 2-3 weeks transplant like a normal plant.

good luck and good growing:)
 
bubonic, its only an 800 lumen light ... i have a 1200 lumen replacement bulb but the device i bought came with the bulb glued in it so i dont know if i can just break the bulb off and put my other one in .... also it didnt cause stretching because my CFL's are like 2 inches away. ... but i put the tube above the plant .... and kochab ... i still dont understand cloning .... maybe my plant isnt nearly big enough yet becauses theres only single leafs comin off the nodes ... its like ... the stem ... n them from the stem shoots out levels of leafs 1 on each side of each level ... also you say trim off leaves off the bottom ... so take a level off with 2 leaves ( to clone) then trim the other leaves that are around where it used to be ? why would i trim them instead of letting them A grow .. or B clone them also ....and also with a razor ... i basically take the skin off of the piece that im cloning ? is a humidity dome crucial ?

Click to expand...

it may be best for you to top the plant and try to clone the top. i use fim method and thats basically topping the plant @ every node so that it causes a big bush sprawled out plant. so i have all kindss of places to clone from. and when you have the piece that you are cloning you scrape skin offa that 1" piece (twords the end where it was cut) that is gonna have root hormone put on it and inserted into soil.
I have cloned without a humidty dome but it takes a while to get em to root. if you have a flat surface around the clone (like soil) you can cut a 2 liter bottle's bottom off (and keep the lid on) and just set it over the plant.
easiest and cheapest dome that ive found anyways.......
the light you use just needs to be 2000 lumens or less for about 6 clones .
thats what i have started doing and it works perfectlly every time. in 2 weeks the buggers have roots.
