First i would like to make introductions, i am MrTokezilla and i am a grow-curios avid smoker and have been watchin pops grow since i was a baby and having massive yeild so i figured as i have paid very close attention and he has all the shyt to set it up, i would give it a shot. I am gettin a new bed which has a cubby hole running straight down the midle of it, its about a foot tall if i had to guess(its my grandads) i will straighten out the dimensions later, either way, i plan to take my old pc and place it under the cubby hole(if it fits) if not i will build a small box to grow in which would be ideal as i can make it a little wider to alow more air flow........so the questions i have are 1) If i end up with a sativa strain if and how can i cause it to stay small enough to get proper light and budding space? 2) is there any way to cut the length of the grow into a smaller time fram, say 4-6 weeks or does that depend entirely on the strain? 3) will one grow bulb be sufficient or should i pick up some differnt size(2500k ect...) bulbs at the hardware store? 4) what should the light timer be set to for nute and budd stages??(hope i asked correctly dont know proper terms yet ) 5) what levels of ferts do the plants need at the different stages of plant life? (i will get the names of all my nutes and the n-p-h levels or whatever they are) any other advice would be helpful and i appreciate any fellow tokers help and hope i am not ruinin the vibe as i am a sincere newb at this shyt but every1 has to start somewhere right?? Happy Smokin -MrTokezilla
2)no the shortest time would be 8 to 10 weeks if you went 12/12 lighting from seed 3)what kind of light bulb do you have how many watts is it??
1) Training... either low or high stress training will keep your girls small.. 4) veg 24/0... flower 12/12 5) It'll say on your nutes how much to use... Start off under what they recommend and work your way up... -Loki
Hey MrTokezilla welcome to the forums but i think a 1ft vertical grow space is severally inadequate for growing cannabis even if grown from seed at 12/12 the plants typically get 14+ inches and that's not even including the height of the growing container which are usually at least 6 inch tall or the height of the light fixture so you will probably have less than 6" of available vertical growing space so i would consider a different place for your grow op possibly in full tower computer case that's at least 22" tall hidden inside your closet or buy a small dresser and convert it into a stealth cab either way your going to need more vertical space to grow than 12". Good luck
so the dimensions are 18" h x 22"~ W x 24" deep.....i think i am goin to have to try and pull the pc i am currently in the process of removing the hardwar and will probably sell it via ebay........... so the nutes i have at my disposal are general hydraponics but because i dont want to set up my sub pump i will just mix this into a water solution..should that be ok even tho they are hydro nutes?? the nutes n-p-h levels are 5-0-1 for the FloraMicro and 2-1-6 for the floraGro the directions say i should mix these two for a super fast growing plants......then it says i shall be needing a floraBloom mix which i dont have access to these chems as they are sold in reno and im not planning to go there soon.......so, i will pick up a blloming feed from my local nursery, what do you guys reccomend for that stage in the plant life thanks a bunch Loki- thanks for the help so far guys
You can train your plant to move around, I would say 12 inches would be hard, but not impossible. Dude I'm sorry to say this, but you have to have to have to do your homework. Go read on growing pot for a while. You will find out a lot. All the questions you asked are pretty basic.
ok guys i basically crammed my brain with government and growing today, i connected 1 pc fan to an ac adapter with great success, gutted the computer entirely and then got the equipment ready for the case, i am going to use 2 cfl bulbs, i dont remember the wattage, i have several kinds in my house, and i will use some highly reflective sheet metal on the inside to light proof the box and apply caulking where needed, then i will hook up wiring to come out back and work properly and then set up timer in botton rear as to seperate it from the rest of the grow space, i will have the lights horizontal and will wet up a scrren to go mini sgrog status, i figure i will veg 4 weeks then start flowering as i dont want them getting too large, i must pick upand ac adaptor at the thrift store for the other fan, then i will germinate and hopefully have 2.3 sprouts by then in order to asses sex and i will keep the female or females.......thanks for the help guys, i think i have it figured out for the most part...not that it will b easy but i think i am competant enough to handle it
