Alrighty, finaly hit the bong & found it was rere simple to grow weed. So here are my final questions. Leme get this straight, im growing with 3 42W CFL's & all i have to do is keep the light on them for 4 weeks so that they can grow tall & strong. & then i start turning it of for 12 hrs for another 4 weeks so it can flower & then begin to harvest? (not including all the other details in between) Fertz: should i only start to fertalize the plant when i start to make it flower? LST: Does LSTing make more bud than just growing your plant straight up? & should I bother doing it with a 19"x1'x3' grow box? or just grow the plant a foot then start flowering? Thanks a ton for all of your help, Ill be well on my way once these questions are answered!
not quite. Yes, you can veg for 4 weeks, but under 3 42W CFLs you may want to grow a little longer. Then, depending on the strain, it may take 8-12 weeks to flower. Really, it depends on more than the strain, but 8-12 weeks is pretty normal in most conditions. Are you only growing one plant? Is this a femenized seed? If not, you may want to consider growing more than one plant in case you end up with a dude.
As for ferts, you should start ferts during the veg cycle. They will need them when they are only a few weeks old. You don't have much vertical space, only 19". So if I were you I would definately look into some LST.
I have one plant growing now that has 2 sets of tiny leaves & the third set starting to grow. Ill post a pic soon. & another seedling i planted is just barley starting to sprout. I have a question, when a germinated seed is planted and is just starting to sprout should the sprout be bent over & then straighten up towards the light? Because this is what both of my sprouts have done
I flower my plant 8-9 weeks. But don't start counting your weeks until it shows sex, NOT WHEN YOU FIRST TURN TO 12/12. As for your sprout it will grow toward the strongest light. you need to strengthen the stems with a little fan to help keep her growing straight. GL with your grow and lets see some pics
Alrighty thanks for the help. Click on the link in my sig to check out some pics. Is distiled water ok to be giving it?
