Hey man, just got finished reading over everything..Looks awesome man.. even your "runt" I'd bet money that if it turns out female ppl would KILL to have that plant to take clones from.. It looks like a almost perfect "bonsai" mother, too bad we dont' know sex... That won't show till atleast about a week or so into flowering(12/12)

Anyway, looks like you know what your doing here man !! Keep up the great work !

lol..

I cheat =]

The quote at the bottom is my RIU sig... Even it is to long, but it was grandfathered in from before the new rules were put in place... So I didn't want to remove it since I will never be able to place it back in it's entirely.

...But I also wanted to post my links.. and now the CFL Crew graphic.. But it is now noticeably big so I will have to drop something..

I also have a Wolfman Zen graphic but I only use that one in my threads so not to take to much space from any body else's.

Before RIU I had not been on Internet bulletin boards since I was in college.. Things have changed a lot with forums.. Back then we had to in put our own graphics and sigs.. so I guess it's like a habbit.

Grandfathered in - YOU BASTARD!! lol, thats cool man, im content now that i know that i cant do shit about it - so um......:finger:


hehe, just kiddin man :bigjoint:



--Anyways, i guess when i pull them down for watering ill take some more snapshots - i sealed out all light by wrapping n taping a black plastic trash back all around the perimeter of my box, sealing out any light that they might have been exposed to in the morning hours before. im also probably gonna hit up Lowes tomorrow to get another fan, cut a hole in my box and put that shit in there so its sucking air in from the outside so my babies dont suffocate.

Also, im gonna go pick up the equipment needed to make myself a Zen brand smell filter (that carbon filter you did the "how to" thread on a little while back for your grow), n rig that shit up n get it ready for when they start to shmell real good. Also, i posted this in another thread, but i cant remember where for the life of me, so ill just ask here -

I dont have any grow shops available to me anywhere around here, its all Lowes, Home Depot, or Wal Mart. The best nutes that i can find are COLORBURST nutes, mainly used for outdoor plants, but the ratio is 24-8-16. I picked up a bag a while ago and i bin using them ever since, and im probably gonna end up using the same nutes for flowering, but just up the dose a lil bit - is that right?? And if not, is there anything you guys could recommend i do for them with my limited resources right now??

hey king not lookin too bad man for a first timer.. i just got done with my first grow and wow,, its crazy how much u can learn from one grow right??? well u can check out my first journal in my sig if ya wanna check it... a couple o things i noticed just gonna give ya some recomendations you can take em or leave em.. just throwin it out there.... ok for your containers always make sure there is drainage.. with the coffee cans.. you could drill holes and pic up a clear plastic pot drainage thing at walmart in various sizes for less then a buck o piece.. the roots have to have oxygen and if there is no holes for the water to drain, the roots will just sit in the water causing them to drown or get root rot.. either one is bad.. its always better too water too little then too much... let the soil dry a lil bit in between waterings.. but not bone dry... also.. idk if your using tin foil or whatever but if u are get rid of that shit man.. pick up an emergency blanket from the camping section of walmart.. tin foil is just gonna roast your babies up and not provide hardly, if any reflection for your babies... um also keep an eye on your temperature.. i know its only cfls your using but.. if your keeping them enclosed in a little closet they can still warm it up to unwanted temps... i had cfls when i started my grow and it got a little too warm in my closet a couple o times... and watch the nutes your feeding them.. when they are young they dont need hardly anything and def dont start out with the full recomendation of doses.. cut it in half then possibly in half again to start out then, work your way up to the full dosage when they are getting ready to flower.. your gonna want to get some flowerin or bloomin nutes.. i used miracle grow bloom booster and it worked fine.. just be sure to flush them for about 1-2 weeks before chop to get the chemicals out.. i chopped one early and trust me thats the least thing u wanna do is chop early and smoke harsh buds.. not fun but it was my first try...

thats about all i can really think of for now.. just throwin out some of the things that i wish i woulda known before i started my own grow, and i read for what seemed like a month or two straight... haha well hit me up if ya got any questions.. ill be stoppin in to see how its goin.. but stop by my grow and maybe that'll give ya some ideas or info brotha...peace

thanks for the advise man, ill keep all that in mind. I just started flowering a few days ago. As u can see in the last few pics i posted, i transplanted my babies into actual plant pots, and they have enough drainage holes in the bottom, so no worries - n as far as temp goes, its always right around 85-89 degrees in my closet. I keep a fan blowin in there all day every day to make sure shit dont get too hot.

Ive been really sparing with my nutes too. Id rather have smaller buds for my first grow, then over do it and burn them out. N as far as the mylar goes, ill be picking up a shitload of blankets for my next grow, the foil is doin its job for this one - i was basically trying to see if i could pull off a grow without spending hardly any money at all.

and in the end i actually only ended up spending about 30 bucks alltogether, so it wasn't too bad. My next grow im gonna be spending CASH n picking up all the essentials. I dont even have a Ph meter, or a timer for my lights, lol.

So i do appreciate the advice, and ill be sure to keep it all in mind man. +rep for givin the advice though, its much appreciated :bigjoint:

i DO however think that i need to drill a couple more holes in the bottom of my pots. Im not getting a very good runoff whenever i water, and they are getting kinda heavy, so i think thats about the only thing that i really need to get done before i get too far into flowering to do anything about it. thanks man
