Welcome New Members!

first time grower here.

got an eighth from some wanker in the hood which resulted in a bag of seeds basically.
if some prickjob can produce a sorry product such as that i'm sure i can do way better (n00b or not).
about three or four days into it and haven't been as anxious to learn about something for a while.
feels pretty damn good lol.

I haven't been able to grow since I became so disabled, but I would recommend to keep your nerves calm and until it's about 6" tall give it only pure water. I would also recommend you get a little fish air pump, a foot of 1/4" tubing, and an air stone keeps the water with high oxygen.When you can finally start a nute system remember to give it a feeding of nutes every other wk. I used to always feed them nutes and always had plants just turning yellow to brown and just die.I never understood that you need to also feed them plain pure water. Good luck growing mane.

I feel ya man, that's what started my conquest 3yrs ago but now I'm so disabled I can't do much anymore.
Anywho... remember that the plants getting food through the soil so if you add anything now it'll get root burn
and die. So just keep it simple, until it's about 6" tall maybe 4" start it out with 50% of the recommended dose.
Also a good lesson to learn now, is to give the girls nutes every other wk. The plants health will just be unbelievable.
One thing I used to do is put an air stone in any water I had sitting around. I found out by doing hydro add more oxygen
and the bigger and thicker the roots system will get. Hydro is HIGH maintenance tho, also a lot of cleaning too. Soil is better
I think... you just need climate control, still need to clean but not nearly as often. Good luck mane
 
Howdy, I'm new at Rollitup.org and at growing flower, right now my plants are in vegetation stage, three of them are about to show sex/gender. I've been reading(Marijuana Horticulture - The Indoor Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible, etc) and taking advice. But more information well be even better. The only problem I seem to be having is that two of my plants that are going show sex soon, the leafs seem to be lowering down..first I thought it was my fan blowing to hard near 'em to I routed one with another...same thing happen to another the leafs started to go down...Then I remove the fan away. Place it from a far but it still seem like they are still the same...no discolor or anything...I've water'em when the soil went dry. Didn't have nutrients mix in the water. Running the light 18 hours and letting them sleep for 6. Really don't know what going on with my babies....

A bro sounds like you may have over watered and have root damage. You can check if you lift the plant up a lil out of the soil and see brown roots... it'll be just a matter of time before she's gone. Try and make some clones from around some healthier spots. Make sure your temps aren't too high, and watch how much water you give them, also check your water ph.I've been doing this for three years so I'm still a newbie, however after reading your msg, I feel that your plant may have root damage. Everything just reminded me of so many plants that I killed this way.If you see white roots then just check your temps and they may need some cool fresh air, do you have an inlet? Supplying fresh cool air? If you're bringing in outside air I would recommend putting on a filter cause you could bring in some unwanted pests. When I used to grow I would run a lil a/c unit and just have it on Fan. Kept the heater and a/c on a timer kept the room at 76-78 year round. I would make changes when the weather changed but it was easier growing with climate control. Watch how much water you feed them and only water when the soil is loose. Stick your finger in the side and if you can feel moisture then they don't need water. Remember they also get moisture out the air too. Good luck StickyEnigma

Hi all, have just joined the forum.............also have just started to grow my 1st plants. After reading all the excellant threads on here, have now realised I'm doing most things wrong. :sad:
Am using a flush & drain hydro system, with a 400watt HPS light, as you can see from the pics attached I think they have had too much nutrient + are staying too wet, as the rock wool cubes seem to hold a lot of water, even after the drain. Am growing auto flower northern lights
Today I have flushed the sytem of all nutrients, & will run for 24hrs, have only ph'd to 5.5. Plus have turned down flush & drain to 4 hourly instead of 3. Lights are on 18/6. Do you think my little babies will survive or are they doomed :oView attachment 2420538View attachment 2420539View attachment 2420540View attachment 2420541
 
Hey guys been lurking trying to learn on this site for a bit but am always confused by the technical aspect. Words and instructions confuse me but if I see something done i pick it up fast. just starting my 2nd grow attempt indoors,last plant got to tall to fast and broke because I had the light to high. Hope to learn a lot here.

A bro, just wna say that I would recommend you letting her stay in veg & let her fully grow.
She's beautiful man, keep doing like you doing. I used to Veg for 3 months and then Flower
a nice 3' or 4' tree. I haven't figured out how to upload old pics of mine but once I do hope
you check it out.
She will grow in flower too, basically she'll double or triple in size. She don't look much more than
maybe 8"... Before flowering put her in a 5 or 10 Gal Pot SHE"LL BE HAPPY!!!! Make sure you have 2"
of rocks at the bottom of your pot. That will prevent back flow of water into the pot. You're doing a
good job bro, so keep it up mane. :eyesmoke:

Hi I am a med m patient in my state. Just looking for someplace to get some help and hopefully help others with plant issues and success. I used to be part of Meduser.ca until med started flipping out on people. Don't get me wrong I appreciate Med and everything those people helped me with, but Med and I don't get along. I am pretty decent guy until someone treats me like crap and that is how med rolls. I am here looking for friends and a community that builds each other up for the success of all. I am still in the learning process, but I think I have some good things to contribute.

Thanks for the encouragement ;) but I have some bad news, Mother in law came over Weds to stay with us for a while so wife says I must get rid of plant. I took it to a friends for him to look after 4 days on shes looks limp. She was green and lush when I handed her over ;( . ...... 1.5 weeks left then I get my baby back she will need rescuing.

If I have any problems can post some pics on here for some advice.

Cheers.

PG.
