Hi everyone, Im new to the city but I thought I would wait to introduce myself until I had something for show & tell. What I have is a single bag seed, covered nice tiger stripes, and the stem appears very redish/purple already. she appears to be doing just fine, under my single CFL bulb. Im not quite sure what the wattage is on it, I know its much larger than my other bulbs around the house. I have a bunch of 13w bulbs, and the one I am using is more than twice the size of the 13w . I know this isnt much, but I plan on making her a mom and acquiring a decent ballast soon. (lets pray shes is a she, seeing as I only have her at my disposal, at this point in time.)

Thats funny your using bag seed too.. But yeah i think its the best way to start amd if somthing gets fucked up... well its only bag seed and not $100 in prime seeds... Watch ready set grow its hella informitive!!!!!!
yeah the high times series are pretty good. the jorge cervantes one is funny he says to flower any male plants right away and dry it and smoke it.. All I ever hear is to kill them.. How are you using your cfl? is it hanging or in a lamp...
That baby looks uber healthy, Congrats. Only thing is it looks as if ur running a soft white, I would try getting the daylight bulbs, 6500k.
haha , that must be a inside joke or something. I wouldnt recommended smoking your males. letting your males flower alongside your girls would be a very bad idea. and for your question I am using some thing similar to this. Thank you, shes very perky and gives me lots of faith. I think I may have the right ones, I have a few soft white bulbs kicking around the house, and they say 2700k on them. The bulb Im using is about three times larger, and stick out of the above lamp a good few inches,
Well, I decided to take some shots and get a nice look at the baby. May as well bump the thread. The soil was very dry this morning and I gave her lots to drink, which she seemed to like. All Im using is superthrive, waiting on an order of some other simple nutes.
Whats it lookin like now? Hold it up to a quarter i wanna see how much bigger yours is , or if you just have a really dope camera.. Also I was thinking, be careful on that 1k lamp and hood. your really gonna need ventilation for that sine its so bright... You may want to try a 400w if you have no venting... just sayin... I have a 600w HPS and ballast.. But since im new I dont want to mess anything up with heat. so Im starting with just a t5 florescent with extra flowering bulbs to get the ropes.... Your using soil right? What mix are you using? just the stuff from the backyard? anyhoo happy gardening
well I guess I havent posted recent picture. I did think of doing so earlier today, but since you asked.. and yes, ventilation could be a probably, but its a open, fair sized room, in the basement. And Im going to be ripping the carpet out, so its going to be really cold down there, without the furnace going into that room. but thanks, I didnt even have that in mind, as its just the basement. and for soil, right now, Im using some old soil I had growing a previous house plant in. Im waiting to get my lazy ass out to dig some holes, for soil. Im planning on mixing it with some perlite and some coarse sand, but its minus thirty where I live with the windchill (as you could imagine with the canadian change. if your not familiar that dollar piece is a little bigger than an american quarter)
ohh thats cool it looks like were about the same size... Yeah in a big room no problem that 1k should be fine.... Im using a closet id be scared to run that thing.. But yeah if its a fir sized room just run some fans and if it does get a bit toasty. mabye you can plum somthing from a window.. but if its a basement it should be cold enough to keep it pretty cool for a 1k... but just remember too heat also rises.... I just started using liquid karma by botonicare i noticeced a difference in the way mine are growing.. Might want to try a little addditive from a hydrostore.. nothing crazy just a little somthing to make the roots grow a lil faster... Liquid Karma can be used in all stges and it uses seaweed and some other stuff.. but that or somthing kinda like that may give you some cool results. since soil is supposed to be a little slower.. but lookin good M8
Ok so it has been a few days, and I have decided on a little tough love for my girl. Wanted to see how she would take to some LST last night, and this morning she was nothing but perky, with new growth. So.. I decided to give her a trim. I will post pictures in a few days to show you how well she took to the fim.
Um wow, that's aggressive topping there, It was pretty stupid to do that so soon. If the plant lives you will have set it back quite a bit.
ok pulse, so I know your wondering what she looks like so I decided to take some time to take a good shot of the cut. less than 24hrs later, I can see new growth , and four future tops now to just get my hands on more medication.... haha cheers
