1st grow how am i doing?

[shankyboy22]

yea i understand my bad its just that i need help because i am limited on what i can use for this grow because i am growing in my house and i still live with my parent so it has to be as less sketchy ass possible.



so i was just wondering i went out to the local home depot and picked up two 3 3000k
CFL's one is 40w and the other two are 25w i was wondering if that would be enough for the flowering stage?

you may want to get 3 more of those lights. and thats just for one plant.
CFL's will make your plants compact as hell. you can control them as well with some LST. but for the most part keep them CFL's about 1 to 2 inches away from all the sexing and budding sites.

look at the top node or second from top for sexing....that plant looks a little too small to start flower but what-ever you want to do will work. and CFL sexing is ALOT slower than HPS...my last grow with all CFL took them two weeks to show sex. but you know sometimes that depends on the strain.

sorry no one has been in here bro , to help you. i just got back to the "city" after being gone for a month and a half and no one cares to look at my journal anymore either...lol


but yeah, 6500k cfl's for veg and flower will work, but its better to flower with the 3k's.

i turned my old grow box into a clone machine....growing with CFL's sucks. its easy tho, and can make a plant look healthy as hell...but it doesnt grow as fast as under a MH bulb. or HPS.

good luck dude..and if you got any questions pm me or somethin.

hey i really appreciate the help man. i have looked around the forums pretty good but still haven't got a good idea on what nutes i should use for flower. and also is there anything good i can get from home depot or lowes? for the veg right now i am just using this Schultz 10-15-10 stuff.

i only use FOX FARM products for medium and nutes/ferts.....well Shultz is a good product i use for rooting clonez.

Tiger Bloom for flowering is what i say to go with. and Big Grow for veg from seedling to 4 weeks.

couldnt tell you about the stuff at lowe's or home depot.
ive tried alot of stuff that was bad for the MJ plants. but if you look for stuff that goes well with tomato plants, you should be good to go!!!
ohh yeah, and dont ever feed your plants what the bottle says...under feed at first just to see how the plant accepts it. then add more or less depending on stress levels, or health visability.

hey i was just wondering is my plant a good size for being 5 weeks old

[doob3r]

about average, better pics would be easier to judge though, nice plant man!

[shankyboy22]

yea I've been using my cell phone camera because i lost my disk reader for my digital camera but I'm getting a new one soon so i can put up some good pics.

[shankyboy22]

so do you think my plant is an indica strian?

[doob3r]

more than likely its a cross between indica and sativa, looks more indica dominant though

[bigred420]

alot bushier than my plants, looking good.

[shankyboy22]

finally i got a good camera!!! how does my plant look?

[screwdababylon!]

a wider one would fit your setup
