Here are my first 5 ladies. They were stunted and root bound in solo cups. I moved them to 2-lites because that is all I had. Feeding them compost tea. Setting up a closet for veg and bigger containers and a light showing up Friday.
Hi Mark. I have a closet that has about an 8 foot square area. I can double that if I clean out the other half. Light and fabric pots are due in tomorrow - I’ll post the info when it is received. Right now they are growing on my desk in our bedroom with one incandescent and one fluorescent and a space blanket for reflection. A bit annoying to have that much light 18:6 and trying to get a good night’s sleep. They are looking leggy and I think I am overwatering. Fungus gnats just showed up so I put in yellow sticky traps. This is my first grow now that it is legal here. I don’t imbibe but I hope this will help my SO’s pocketbook. I also have a small fan running 24/7 and use compost tea has fertilizer.
Just make sure u let them dry out real well before watering again. Lift the pots when dry. Give it like 2 days and lift u will notice a massive weight diff if it is dry vs wet. Over watering will def mess with them. What was the brand light u ordered that will tell most on the light watts and brand. Can be looked up on specs. Keep whatever lights u have as close as possible for now to hopefully keep them from stretching. U can also do lst top them ir get into super cropping
Thank you Mark. All advice is welcome. Much different than cleaning a bag and throwing the seeds on the creek bank and coming back later. But back then it was all low potency.
All i can say for you. If u want quality bud. U MUST HAVE super good lights. Hlg lights are most recommended by just about everyone. I have 3 myself. 260xls and i love them way better than anything i had previous from amazon or friends lol. I wish i would have started way sooner. I love this sport lol.
Thanks Mark! When I have more budget I will be upgrading my setup. This is a first try. Even if the harvest is small I’ll have a happy husband. Keep me updated on the twins!
Sky looks much better but the sour diesel and golden goat are drooping😢. I can’t make these girls happy at the same time! As a beginner I should have probably started with one or two strains. The grower had five stains available so I bought one of each since she was selling at half price. Light and pots should show up today so it is repotting this weekend and into the closet set up. I can see roots to the bottom of the two liters and new growth looks vigorous.
For anyone that reads this I have a newbie question. These are all clones. How can I tell if they are auto flower types?
Welcome to the forum looks like you have a great fellow grower helping you. I’m a retired grandma who has smoked since 1970 but only grown for about 1 and half years. I’m @Amazon66 if you need any help and cant get mark tag me also there’s a few of us gals that follow each other we talk growing and whatever. I’ll tag you into mine
I’ll have tenga tag you into hers she’s a retired nurse and we both like experimenting with our plants as in lst or we’re both wanting to collect pollen and pollinate a plant, some plants and stuff like that. We’re both been growing alittle over a year and she has all kinds of peppers, tomatoes, tropical plants she’ll post pics.
Woo hoo! I have the grow closet set up a LED light, fan and space blankets. I will say that look at the plants from above is much more heart warming than the side view where I fixated on the straggly, stunted lower growth.
I did received my plant bags but can’t seem to find plant saucers locally so I will be checking out Amazon today.
I’ll be putting them into flower once I have some viable clones.
I’ll have to up the light blocking. Right now I only have a cloth shower curtain sun the closet doesn’t have a door (long story there…).
Any suggestions for increasing humidity? We are very arid here and I am only running 25-35% with wet towels hanging in there.
