FIRST GROW, ANY ADVICE APPRECIATED!!(PICS)

jtsik330 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:31:57 GMT

I just wanted to start off my thread by thanking everyone who post info on here that has benefitted me. I think this site is awesome as well as the people in it.

Now on to the good stuff, I planted this seed that last week of august and have been trying to keep up with it with the information that I get from you guys. I just want to know what you guys think of the look of the plant and and advice that maybe some of you will have. Thanks again!

*the vertical light was just a test and has now been taken down.
*The above taken picture displays how I just FEM'd the plant.
*Can I trim some of the leaves off of the plant. For some reason some of the leaves are curling and leaning downward.

The Church

southcac420 — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:10:45 GMT

I have three plants of The Church (from Greenhouse Seed Co.) under about 9,000 lumens of 24 hour flourescent light (6500k). After 4 weeks of veging they will be changed to 12 and 12 under around 10,000 lumens of flourescent light (2700k). The lights are T8's and they are hanging aboe the plants as close as i can get them without touching. They are growing in 10" square pots filled with one part perlite, one part sand, and one part miracle grow potting mix. the temperature stays between 75 and 80F the humidity stays around 50% and they have plenty of space to grow out and up. Bloom Booster fertilizer will be used while flowering. How much dried do you guys estimate they will produce?

Input needed

redtails — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 02:31:52 GMT

Ok, so let me preface this by saying I live in an urbanized desert, where the temps can be unstable and typically high(even with A/C), as well as avg humidity <20%. Also the components I've listed in the pic are what I already have. I'm trying to make it work with what's available, as I'm on a limited budget, so please don't start recommending something unnecessarily too expensive for this sized grow like a 400w cooled HPS with a 6" vortex fan.

I'm trying to rework the ventilation system and would like to know as many knowledgeable opinions on this as possible:

It's set up for the most part already, and is in my closet venting into the attic:

I'll be testing it out with a feminized, autoflowering Little Devil from Ministry of Cannabis. Probably one plant at a time with LST to fill out the box. Thanks in advance for your help.

1st grow, closet set up

jckmcgrth — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:29:40 GMT

Ok so I'm in California and recently got my doctor's reccomendation! I've decided to start up a grow to cut back on what I buy, hopefully altogether.

I'm going to be growing in my closet. The floorspace (about 22" x 27") is carpeted; is it ok to grow on carpets? Or should I put a piece of plywood or something over it? Alternately there is a shelf about 40" above the ground that is a bit smaller then the floor that I could extend slightly to bring it to the size of the floor space. There's about 40" more above the shelf, which can't be raised or lowered. Ultimately I'd like to use on space for vegging and one for fruiting, hopefully about 3-4 plants per. Does this sound feasable?

Because the way my closet is, I'm going to need to rig a ghetto door to block off my grow. Im thinking just cardboard or something. I'll cut holes in it for airflow and put a fan in the top corner of each chamber. Sounds good?

For lights I bought 4 40 watt, soft white CFLs and reflecting shades from Home Depot for all them. I also plan on lining the walls with mylar. Should two of these lights for each chamber be enough? I was reading that I should use something like 6400k lights for veg and 2700k fruiting. Is this necessary? I bought the lights before I saw that and they are all 2700k.

That's pretty much all the questions I got as far setting up my grow room goes. Thanks for reading! All input and advice welcomed and appreciated!

Plant sick, i need help (first grow)

johnmandrake — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:52:55 GMT

Hello,

I have a plant (white widow) grown under 4 25W CFL bulbs and a timer set to 18h light - 6h dark for about 3 moths.

Then I changed the box and the light (http://iluminat-special.ro//pdf_file...20_e40_1sl.pdf).
After 1 week I have also reduced day light for flowering by 15 min/day.
For day's later the tip of the leafs started to lower down.
The following week the plant looks like in the pictures.
I have to mention that the temperature variates between 15 degrees C (when there is no light)-> 30 degrees C (when the light is on).
I have also attached a picture showing the hole box.
The bulb is separated from the plant with a glass and each chamber is ventilated.

What can i do to revitalize the plant?

Thank you.:rastasmoke:

First Time Grower, Have Pics

acornmania — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:19:41 GMT

Hey guys, i've never done this before so be gentle :D
I dont know anybody who does this so i dont have anyone to give me advice.
If you guys could give me some advice I would very grateful.

I currently have 5 plants. They sprouted roughly 2 weeks ago.
I am running 6 45w CFL bulbs and a 21/3 timer. ( haha )
I have a normal household fan for ventilation, and i have some sugar water and yeast for some extra Co2.

The plants are sitting in a fairly large box that has tin foil for reflection.
I water them roughly once per day. I only do it when the soil is dry.
I stick my finger quite far down to check the soil lower down.

Are they growing too slowly??? I must be honest I thought that the growth would have been much much quicker than this.

Any ideas or tips?

Oh and sorry if the pics are too big, i wasnt sure whether i should crop them or not. Let me know. I have many more if you want to see.

kk, please post ur opinions.

Please
Thanks guys
acorn

Flowering White Widow

SteveSmith — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:26:26 GMT

I was reading up on white widow and wanted to get some feedback about this:

White Widow feminized seeds are (60%/40%) indica/sativa cross-strain and is best appropriate to indoor cannabis farming. Our feminized seeds produce as far above the ground as 35-80 cm with the yield up to 450 gr per m2. It's optional to flower (12 hour light) this marijuana variety for 8 weeks, but 10 weeks will actually give you the crystals you are following. Try to turn the light off in total the final 2 weeks of the flowering cycle- or at least down to 8 hours. This keeps the flowers from re-growth and stresses the plant into giving up its last drop of goodness as gemstone to defend the flower! The buds have so a great deal THC on them that it is hard to see them at all.

The main part i was wondering about was the 2 weeks of total darkness...does anyone do that and does it work?

Tell me about Cherry Bomb Indica

punkr0x0r — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:45:43 GMT

So, as a wonderful house-warming present, a friend gave me 3, well started clones of what he claims to be Cherry Bomb Indica.

I've since then have been growing them and taking care of my girls to the best of my ability (and a lot of reading). They are currently growing in 8" pots, in a roughly 2x3' closet, lined with mylar, and a 400w lamp hanging above. The light is currently setup on a timer running 20 on/4 off. It's a ghetto grow-op, and is intended for personal use. So once I get pics up, any advice/tips would also be appreciated.

This is my first actual time growing.

The thing is, I can't find any info on this strain.

Can any one provide me info on the strain, type of high, pics, etc?

That'd be great.

I'll post pics of the girls/setup later when I get back home.

Who makes the most quiet fans? and not too expensive?
