I'm not experienced with growing indoors but I can try to help you out. You def wanna put them closer to the light. A dome might help some. I would use the strongest bulbs you have, I mean you are trying to replicate the sun. I'm sure someone on here can give you more info than I can on indoor growing or you could scan the threads for a better answer. good luck.
18 hours of light is what they say but they say a lot of things. Mine are on a natural light schedule outside and it's not daylight here for 18 hours a day. 14 or 15 hours of daylight should do them just fine.
Hey I'm brand new here, was looking to get to know the pot community better because I planted a new friend of mine. I'm hoping it lasts. Just want to know how to go about it
Hello everybody!!! Long time toker first time grower. Super excited at what I might discover with the fantastic world of growing. My goal is to stay micro and be successful. My first grow is a bagseed in a 1x1x2.5 diy cabinet from a flip house. I have a ton of stuff to learn yet. I'm running 5 23watt cfl bulbs and using a Wal-Mart 5$ fan for ventilation. I believe this might be my stealth cab for life. I've done a few things with my plant those far and am very happy with the outcome. I am hoping to be in flower in about a week. Also have two bagseedlings going as well. I'm going to try to keep them as small as possible. The one thing I do not have yet is a journal. I want to keep track of everything so I can tweak the things I am doing to make sure I am at peak efficiency during the process. I just started my tea blend with Dr.earth organic fertilizer today and will be receiving a bag of fox farms in a couple of days. My plant right now is in just some regular soil that a seed popped up in lol. The seedlings are in miracle grow soil until the fox farm arrives. Well thats about it for me. Happy Growing!!!
She says stealing RECIPES. it's me that bakes her cookies and stuff don't be fooled
Hi Will, welcome to RIU. So first grow, one plant and you decided to try LST. Nice work, you have been successful on the first try. I broke mine trying to bend it like a pipe cleaner, but it recovered and will be ready to harvest in a few more weeks. Looks to me like you are off to a great start. Cheers!
It looks like you are off to a good start. I started with CFL's but I found the plants stretched too much, or were burned if I tried to put them too close to the bulb. I quickly switched to LED, no heat, I can have leaves touching the bulb with no burning. They are also more energy efficient, pennies per month and IIRC they give better light penetration. If you invest $10-15 for a pack from that $125 I do not expect you will regret it. I am not sure what a PVC grow is, but it does sound fascinating.
Has any body used this kind of pot it's a self watering I might have to transplant soon .. wanting ideas on if I should use or stay with the one i got the second pic is the bucket I'm in it's a 12" that pics are a before and after " LST " I have tied her down twice all ready.Your baby's coming along willie keep it up
I personally wouldnt want a self watering pot unless it was a dripper system on a timer. But in all fairness she is looking nice and healthy. So whatever works for you mate
Yeah I was doubtful I didn't think it would work either ... Do u use bitonicare raw nutrients? Or don't think sakanat is better?
I personally use advanced nutrients sensi grow ph perfect. First run I used ionic and it was shite although the supplements from growth technology like Nitrozyme and superdrive are brilliant
If I'm using fox farm mutes do I need anything else? I was gonna put sakanat for a little extra....
I dont think you need to add anything else from your photos. Don't fix what ain't broke and all that. I'm unfamiliar with the nutrients you're using so I wouldnt really wanna pass advice on the subject. From what I've read fox farms is supposed to be good shit anywayIf I'm using fox farm mutes do I need anything else? I was gonna put sakanat for a little extra....
Both. They do do a coco specific but it's sold as "coco safe" and I can very much vouch it is
