The larger if the plants is a purple durban and the smaller plants are white widows, caramelicious and a mixed bag of netherland bank seeds. i sit them out in the sun everyday all day then i put them under florz all night. i just received the foxfarm pack. i give them bottled water. i found a mite on the large lady today afetr doinfg some research on teh site i made a mixture of olive oil dish soap and added a bit a of that to water in a foliar sprayer, homeboy said he had good results i figured i give it a shot. my room is not set up fully yet. but ill keep u updated with pics as often as i can.. any tips hook me up!!

Well i'm Back with new pics and a new set up. i re potted the plants in cups and larger containers for more root growth. i no longer have spidermites so the potion worked lol. i bought some lights at the depot, heres thepics! should i start cloning? They will also stay inside for now on... please comment aways!! I'm also practicing cloning and its been a real success with my practice cherry bush. Im using two T8s

no chenges today and since they are under flo's i noticed i dont have to water them that often still waiting on there next water for the next feeding lol... feel free to comment

some of the plants really grew in a matter of the day cuz i brought them out in the sun for a bit yesterday... im sure thats better than t8s... any tips?

oh yeah.. the sun is way better than using t8s...

your plants are looking nice and healthy...

i dont know about using olive oil... cant say its bad or anything as i dont know.. but my own personal recommendation is neem oil for spidermites.. but since they are gone, and your spray already worked, there is not much need to go into that...

so are you growing or vegging under the t8s??

looking good other wise.. nice assortment of nutes... ill pull up a seat and see how things go... good luck!

well im vegging for now i was going to grow under them but i have a greenhouse getting done by the end of the week thinking of sending some over there where i have 22 seedlings just sprouted all durban (pics to come)..
is it possible to flower under t8's?
my durban is def a lady and shes showin signs of being ready to flower but i wanted to take clones i have the gel and set up but wasnt sure if she was big enough or where to take them from

Duh! Fox Farm

yup i figured i pay for good nutes since they wont get good lighting other than the sun or t8's, hoping itll supplement

Looking good

You can flower under T-5's but you'll get better bud and more of it, under HID or natural sunlight

It looks like the 2 lowest branches should make good cutting in another week or so.

Question about how to link your grow to your posts; do most folks provide a link to their grow by editing their signature? TIA

as was said you can flower under floros.. it just takes a lot more t5/t8s to flower than if you use HID.. but it is possible...

interesting im pretty north now and the days are long so i should keep vegging untill the days get shorter then bring them out to the greenhouse to flower. ill keep a couple for moms one of each hopefully( whitewidow, purple durban, caramelicious) i also hae those mix seed 6 pack i got goin has anyone ever got any luck with those? you know the extra free seeds?

and the signature thing i just figured i do it since im a new grower and i need all the help i can get and it made a lil sense lol

Thanks I'll edit my sig too then lol

Sounds like you have a good plan. If you heat the greenhouse you can keep mothers under the floros, and flower clones in the greenhouse all winter. The heater could even be designed to add Co2 to the greenhouse, just be careful not to asphyxiate yourself lol
