you could always go down to the local nursery/garden center and pick up a bag of ladybugs.... They will eat any soft bodied bugs especially if your growing indoors and there aren't any other food..... I got mine for $14, it's natural.... doesn't harm your plant at all and they will keep the little suckers away, as long as you can keep them in your room... oh... and they reproduce so yeah it can be done at anytime as well, unlike sprays and scrubs and other ways of getting bugs off, this won't harm the plant or take any of your lovely crystals away

How high do you have your lights from your plant and hot does it get in your room?

 

[GrimReefa]

Thanks for that... But I was asking how many lumens it requires to stay alive, not number of hours... I mean like, how many watts of bulb... in terms of lumens would be enough... to JUST keep it alive and growing...

was referring to this,

like i said, its open to debate. I have my own reasons to go with 24 and others have thier reasons to go with 18/6,, and saving some dough in the short term could be one of them.. whether or not that extra 6 hours produces as much as it costs in elec is debatable like i said

i have a ? chuck,

first off im runnin a closet grow with a 400w hps 6 plants from bagseed.
my babies are 3 weeks old and at the end of 18/6, im guessin 12 hrs in---they start to wilt. ive laid off the water, 2-3 days in between now, and tonight i raised the light about 2 inches, so im up to about 14. Do ya think it was my light too close? they only seemed to wilt at the end of light cycle. hopefully thatll solve it.,,advice is helpful though.

what kind of wilting?
the world wilt could mean a lot of things.
Underwatering will make the leaves drop because there will be no water in the system to give it structure to hold the leaves up.
Overwatering will make the leaves heavy and drop and the will "cup".

But i wouldnt associate the word wilt to overheating. Get a thermometer and somehow place it at the top of your plant and leave it sit at the hottest time of the day to see what the temp is at. anything over 85 is wayy to hot and something must be done to cool it down.

A good way to know if you should water or not is by poking your finger into the soil.

If the first inch, inch and a half or so is dry and moveable then it needs some water, otherwise wait.

if you are such a fucking hotshot what are you doing on the newb forums?

creeping around trying to make yourself good? Hmm?

You look like a damn fool to me.

Go start your own thread if you think you can do better. And i look nothing up for answering questions. That is evident by me not answering a users question about clones. I could have looked it up but im not taking that much time out of my day to help newbs. If I have to look it up then they can.

Like i said,, if you are so much better then strat your own thread... nobody is stopping you hotshot.

they only seem to do it late into the light on period...its gotta be heat, ive backed the light off and seems to be getting better. its gettin cold here and i can cut my room off and keep it cool.

have you ever grown lowryder 2?? im real interested in the autoflowering strains. anyone with advice from growing autos, please feel free!

 

[Quackenbush]

My plant just started showing little flowers ( 2 days in ) i think i might have over watered it though one of the leaves is starting to curl under.

is this fixable by not watering it for a while and keeping it under 24/0 light schedule?

sorry, I have never grown an autoflower. I'm not sure if my local seedshop even carries any auto strains.

Good luck

"is this fixable by not watering it for a while and keeping it under 24/0 light schedule?"
your plant should be kept under 12/12 during flowering. I'm not sure what you mean by that.

and as far as the watering goes, give it a little bit to dry out before you water again, you do not want to end up with root rot!

Grow on

please no yield questions. there are so many variables that come into play when dealing with yield that it in IMPOSSIBLE to give you an accurate measure of what you will yield. I.E. light, nutrients, veg time... even the temperature can have affect on the yield.

Let me just say this. You get what you get. And the better conditions you give your girl the better and bigger the yield will be.

 

[Tanis83]

hey man hows it going?

I just took some pics of my baby she's almost ready to get cut down..... I'm thinking in the next 2-4 weeks *depending on if I wanna give it another shot of nutes before I flush*

let me know what ya think *I know small but space is limited*

 

[chuckbane]

pics arent great quality but everything looks okay from what i can see

good luck man

 

[gallo4]

how much do ya think ya got there??

 

[marlay]

Can anyone tell the sex from this? or is it still too early?

yupppppppppppppppp

if i could get a really close look I could probably tell you but with a picture it is hard. It looks to be at a stage where it will show its sex very soon so just wait it out a few days and when you see those two white hairs then you will know for sure

 

[icurbyou]

HOW MUCH MONEY CAN I MAKE ON MY PLANT? lol jk
