New grower, some advice needed.

laurislas · Jul 7, 2009

Well, its my first post on this forum and I'm new grower. I trying to grow on my kitchen window, as I have sun all day. I don't now is that good or not, but I'm gonna try.

I have one problem, on the lower leafs some kind of small dots appear. can some one tell me what a fuck happened.

Please tell what do you think about my grow, is the plants look healthy.

Hope to hear something from some one :joint:

u need a proper light or at least a fan blowing litely on them harden them stems

welcome to the forums =)

your plants look healthy but you might want to get more light on them when you flower. the small dots look like the beginning signs of nute burn, but nothing serious. what type of soil/nutes are you using?

I didn't use any nutes yet, so is shouldn't be nuts burn. the soil I just bought from the gardening shop, have now idea what inside in it.
I have the fan blowing on them 24\7. And cant afford to buy the lamp at the moment, so just gonna hope it will be fine just on the sun, as we had really nice weather, but today rain started and its really dark outside. If I just put them under some 60w lamp is it gonna help?

Thanks for your replays.

it could still be nute burn, some soils have time-released nitrogen in them that releases when you water so you have to be very careful when watering. your plants should be fine in the sun but more light never hurts...

I thought, I share some photos of my baby, as she growing well, at-least I think so. Maybe some one will be interested to check it out.

Fell free to make a comment.

what kind of bulbs are those you are using??

laurislas · Jul 18, 2009

Those are just normal bulbs from my house lamps. I now they are not good for growing, but I don't have money at the moment to buy CFL's. Hope to get some money soon then I can buy some 150w CFL's. I'm thinking to get 2 150w and 2 smaller ones. But for now they gonna stay like that. Hope my baby not gonna die.

simpsonsampson420 · Jul 18, 2009

its going to stretch really bad.. those bulbs are terrible for growing.. your better off back in the window... seriously.. those bulbs put off almost no usable light for the plants.. the sooner you can get the cfls the better off you will be... your going to end up with a really stretched plant if you dont get them soon...

laurislas · Jul 18, 2009

We having really shit weather at the moment, very cloudy and almost no sun. Is it better to keep it on the window even if there is no sun? I'm thinking to get CFL's next week as I,m gonna get some money.

laurislas · Jul 20, 2009

Just move my baby's in to the closet, with 3 20w cfl's. I now it's not enough, but didn't have enough money to buy more.

laurislas · Sep 22, 2009

I thought just share some pictures of my plants. Now they second week in to flowering.

Maybe some one can identify the strength?

Any comments welcome.

mkay420 · Sep 22, 2009

actually since you ahv had such minimal light it might help your buds form due to the fact that your plant has stretched enough so that there isnt really anything blocking your bud sites. you definitely need more lights if you are worried about money just get some 42w cfls from walmart or something. i mean 42 actual watts though... with cfls you always go by the actual wattage. im kinda impressed you ahve a plant that looks pretty good with as little light as youve had. cant wait to see what happens when you get more light.

now is the time you want as much and as intense light as possible directed onto your bud sites. if you could, get a bunch of smaller cfls too like 23w to put right next to some of the lower bud sites and you will probably increase your yield a good bit. i would have the 23w as close to some of the lower budsites as possible and put 2 or 3 42w danging above with reflectrs... but thats just me.

laurislas · Sep 22, 2009

The thing is I'm in Uk and we don't have walmart. I checked couple shops and the biggest voltage on CFL's I found it just 20w. So I might get some more of 20w as they are really cheep down here.

Thanks for the advice.

mkay420 · Sep 22, 2009

you could probably get a couple online... you should check out this site http://www.buylighting.com/Compact-Fluorescent-s/74.htm
