Ok... so a month into Veg... and all is well. 2 plants in the closet are looking pretty nice, and the 2 outside.

I swear I will try to get some pics up when I wake up.. its 3AM here now. I still have them going on 24/0 because I don't have a timer, and I don't want to chance turning the light off and forgetting to turn it back on.

But yeah, pics gonna be up tomorrow... errr.. today... in like 10 hours. lol

pzzz everyone!

OK so here is the talking I was talkin about. hahahah


So... For my first topic, look at lily go... That poor little plant has had a rough first month of life, but she is actually doing pretty damn well considering. I think I might beable to get like 1/4 of a gram from her! hahahah. But anyways,

I just got a timer from walmart yesterday, and put that on my lights, so after a month of 24/0 they are now getting 18/6

The strange thing is, yesterday, I had to move my light up for the tall plant in lily's container, and set the light about 4-5 inches away from it..... this morning, after it had its first ever sleep of 6 hours, I went into the closet, and it was like 1/2 inch away from the light!!! wow, such growth, in the dark... well, it had about 2 1/2 hours of light after it's sleep before I looked at it, but it has never grown like that. Is it because it had that dark resting stage, that it just felt like shooting up when it woke up?

so anyways, my wife told me not to spend too much at walmart, cuz we still got a couple bills to pay, even though I get my paycheck tonight. So I told her I wouldn't, (she was at work, and couldn't police me at the store.. hahah)
but man, they had some cool looking digital timers there for like $15-20. I sooo wanted to get one, but I had to practice self control! damnit.

I still don't have any Mylar which would probably help my grow out alot since I only have 2 6500K bulbs, but the walls are white, so it helps a little.


OK, so now for some expert opinions here. As everyone says, almost every n00b overwaters there first grow. What does it do to the plant when you over water it? what are the signs?
I am pretty sure I just have nute burn, but not sure, I would post pics of the bottom leaves, but you know my camera sucks, cuz its a videocamera. but, the tips of the bottom most leaves are like... completely dead, like no coming back, and beyond that they are turning yellowish brown. But it is just the bottom most leaves (and I'm not talking about the cotyledons) I am using Miracle-Gro liquid all purpose plant food. the specs are 12-4-8.
Me, being the idiot, got excited when I bought it, and didn't ween the plants into it, I just gave it the dose it said on the back. So that is why I am thinking it is nute burn.

I also smelled the plants yesterday, and they are smelling pretty good. You can't smell them yet, unless your nose is RIGHT there on the plant though.

So, I also have a dilemma coming up. In june, my wifes parents are coming to visit, and they will be sleeping in the bedroom (we sleep in the living room of our 1 bedroom apartment, and use the bedroom for like storage and stuff, cuz it is just my wife, me, and our pets living here) BUT the bedroom closet is what houses my plants..... So I am sure you can understand my little problem here. I mean, I don't think the smell would get to strong in there... maybe, and the window is always open, But the closet doesn't exactly close all the way... the fans hums, and the lights are pretty bright.
There is not time to flower, even if they started right away, and that would make them stink more.

I do have 3 more small closets, like square closets outside of the bedroom... Like coat closets I guess, but I don't know If I can fit all my plants into 1. I would also have to seal it off with black plastic or build a box in there or something. So I don't know what to do in a month!

I was thinking about putting them all in that area outside I was talking about a while ago in posts for my outdoor plants, but I don't want to chance animals getting to ALL my plants. The balcony is where we smoke at and sit when its nice out, and I don't want these big plants out there either, because although I do have alot of different plants out there, cannabis IS noticable, and their son used to try to grow it outside their house.. lmao, his dad was PISSED. the mom smokes weed though... I'm actually not even worried about her. But I just don't want to get lectured by her dad about this and that, and going to jail if I get caught and stuff like that. He is a supervisor of some sort for a Fed prison in Arizona. He wouldn't do anything though except lecture, and I know that cuz his son smokes all the time and he knows it.



So anyways, I am done with this post, took me exactly 30 minutes to write. lmao, between phone calls and such, but If you read this to the end..... Then you must be BORED, so I am glad I could help you out somehow Have a merry christmas!!!

Oh... well thats good knowledge that I have now. I seem to get alot from you hopefully someday I will beable to help out poor n00bs like myself in the way you have helped me. I would have had the timer earlier on, but I either didn't have money, or just forgot to get it.

eh, its just my opinion and preferance man, ive grown under 24/0 and 18/6 and for me 18/6 has always been the faster one it seems, imho it best mimics nature at 18/6 and i always have nice new growth almost everymorning at lights on

Plus if you are using a HID to veg, 18/6 saves you money.(not that you wouldn't save if you were using CFLs, just not as much obviously)

yea my electric bill was $30 steady before this grow, and now with a month in on 24/0 it only went up $7, and that is with the fan running in there too... and a new balcony light I put in for my cat at night to catch stupid moths

New New Pics>> Whoooooo

Ok so here is some new pics, of just the closet plants. I tried to LST the biggest one (in lily's pot) just for shits and giggles, but it was just too strong for the twist tie I used (just something that was sitting next to me when I got that idea.

So, she pulled that out of the ground, and I decided, well... the bitch don't wanna be tied down! so I won't LST her. I used a metal wire on an outside plant, and made a hole on the side of the pot to put the wire through, and that is pulled down, and stood straight up like its supposed to, so I think I will only LST that one for now.

ON TO THE PICS!!!!
SHHHHH they are sleeping although the flash makes it look like the lights are on
























yaaaaaayyyy I posted new pics pretty quick
make sure y'all leave comments, or advce, or questions you have that could lead you to giving me advice! lol. hope you enjoy. I miss SMASHIO!!!!! I hope he gets home soon, I want to see some updates! And I hope his friend really took care of his plants
