It's a decent one Thoe. Sorry I'm stoned Here are some pics I will just post the most recent one as CBa I've taken too many pics haha, this is the 2nd full day from when they smashed there way through the soil Above is Mary she is a few hrs older than her sister jane. Above is Mary's first lil leaves comin through Below is jane, she had a dodgy leaf at first I thought she wasn't gunna do well but she's shot right up.. V impressed IMO I think they look v healthy and have thick stems? But idk im a beginner!! Please comment!!tips and negatives accepted! I will improve my setup but in time
I am going to add perlite with the other 3 man for deffo, I'm in the uk so not to much of a problem got the 16" fan for now buying an extractor fan next payday thanks for the advice mate
Good luck bro . Im researching for my first grow now . Im gonna use cfl's for the vegetative stage . Maybe for the flowering stage as well but not sure yet . Enough about me though . I'll be rooting for you
Good luck mate I hope you all the best, I'm using cfl throughout but buying 2 300w dual spec and another 125w 2700k red light one so should be ok, seen many cfl grows who get good results
Start of day 3 above ground, btw I have to use 16 on 8of because of parents !! It will change when I get a timer in a couple weeks Thoe!! Below is Mary And below is jane Both seem to be loving it atm
Absolutely bro .. My buddy finished his first grow a few months back . Buds came out great and he only used cfl's so it's not like it can't be done . I seen it with my own eyes lol ... You're babies look great
I don't think that 18 on 6 off will hurt them . Some people say it's actually good for them . They say the plant needs time to rest and it's actually closer to nature . I don't know though lol I know grass grows fastest at night . Not that kinda grass lol I mean lawn grass lol .... If anything it will just grow slower . It still should be healthy though
One more question .. Are you going to use the blue lights along with the additional red light for flowering ? Like I'm not sure how that works .. Do they still need the blue light at that point ? I understand they need the red but would the blue light also be beneficial ? I'm just trying to understand how natural lighting works .. In the fall the sun starts putting off more of a red spectrum but is blue still in it ?
It will be fine if they get me they get me lol, yeah mate gunna use both lights still coz pretty sure the sun produces most of the spectrum whatever time of year just some more than others mate
Yeah true the police have said recently there not going after personal grows anymore only if someone complains or you take the piss, I say more power to ya, best of luck and I'll stick around to help if you need it
. You know it bud things are pointing in the right direction. Thanks mate I will greatly apreciate any advice
Yeah mate, and when you plant yours put them straight in there final pot, no transfer and pre soak your medium 1 day or 2 before putting the baby's in, I used the paper towl and plastic bag for germination took a little over 2 days an sprouted in another 2..happy as it's my first time ï¸ï¸
so I smoke an oz of grade a week its getting too expensive now. Basically I'm gonna be buying a 600w lamp a 1.5 metre grow tent with extraction fan.all the rest ive read up on I think I get the hang of it all it seems mostly common sense lol. But basically with autoflowers how many would be best to grow in that tent with that light ? I want to try get a kilo per crop from 6 plants is this possible ? Plus how would I go about having a constant crop say every few weeks of a say atleast 4-5 oz's ? And would clay pellets be good for growing autos rather than soil because im going to putting the tent in a brick shed so I dont want pests and spider mites infecting my crop atall so I heard no soil was the best way ? Basically for a 1.5 m tent with 600w lamp can anyine give me tips or a guide to maximum yielding in that space please ?
