outdoor to indoors?

[misterRester]

I am currently growing two plants, I started them off outside and now they are about 8-9 inches tall each, too big to keep outside without my nosy neighbors finding out, so i moved them inside and converted my closet, which is about 6 feet by 2 1/2 feet, lined it with aluminum foil and setup some lights, I have 2 13w 800 lumins cfls about 1 inch from them, and 2 40w fluorecent tubes hanging above about 3 feet above them, these are all for residential lighting, My question is will this stress the plant and kill it?, or will it just grow a bit slower?
and if so what should i do to counter this? i have very limited funds, and can only get ahold of CFL's or fluorecents, I'm not looking for great weed, just something to smoke that'll get me a decent buzz.

Please help this is my first grow sorry for the long post.

Will prolly stunt it just a little bit. First thing I would do tho is get RID of the foil, it's just turning the closet into an oven. Get some mylar alot more reflective too!!!!

No issue at all... you can do 24...18/6.....17/7.....16/8..... I move my plants in and out all the time... in veg plants take what you give them... If they ask, tell it was clouds..... seriously.. no problem.. when you change to 12/12 to flower thats when you don't play around.. all those veg times above I've used on the same plants.. I don't leave lights on while I sleep so if I sleep an hour early, so do my plants.. hour late..same thing.. Luck.

Thanks, I just noticed that my plants are also turning brown around the edges, but only on the bottom leaves, is this nutrient deficientcy? im using miracle grow potting soil mixed with soil from my jalepeno garden.
For more visual they have 3 nodes and are just sprouting their fourth.

Bottom leave can and do die... I watch the sides of leaves and spots on.. I don't sweat brown tips ..as long as just tip.. A 8-10 plant in soil should be watered about every 3-4th day... did you put gravel in bottom of pot for drainage.. a water OD can give you symptoms of 100 things..so get the water right 1st.. and watch new growth.. whats damaged is done...

 

[misterRester]

I thought the only leaves that died were the clover looking leaves that come up first, so the next leaves die too? these leaves are only 1 blade, the rest of them look like the characteristic pot leaf, and no i did not put gravel in, but i've been watering, then waiting for soil to dry almost completely and watering again, i check by just putting my finger right in the soil,
also how big of a pot should i use? ive got them both in a 2 gallon pot, i figure ill probably need a bigger one, since i've read you aren't supposed to grow 2 plants in one pot, but if you do you aren't supposed to seperate them, just grow them in a bigger pot.

Thanks a ton for any answers.
Wish i had something in return.

yep and you never got a 3 leafed set ?? all 5-7

 

[Twistyman]

The plant in my AV is a seed I grew last year from a seed I brought back in 1992..it had from 13 leaves to one.. it was the one leaf thing that freaked me..thats one plant tilted at 45 degree angle...

 

[misterRester]

The better of the two goes as follows, first node, 2 singluar leaves, second node, 2 tri blade leaves, 3rd and 4th node, 2 5 blade leaves, this is normal correct?
Now my other one is about an inch shorter, first node, 2 singular leaves, second node 2 tri blade leaves, 3rd and 4th node, 2 tri bladed leaves, Why doesn't this one have the 2 5 bladed leaves? Same strain, Same times, Same Pot, Is the other plant just superior and choking it out? or just difference in strain?

Also they are sexed i believe since one night i got paranoid and moved them inside for a whole day, and now near the stalk where the leaves protrude out there is hairs coming out, this means female correct?

 

[RyanTheRhino]

no... just all plants grow diffrent even tho your second plant has 3 sets of tri leafs i bet there bigger...Twistyman hahaha at least every set of leafs where like a lottery ..alright 10 leafs and the next day aww only one leaf

Actually compared to the other they look skimpy.
I don't know, first time, this is a learning experience, im just hoping to have some smokable bud that gets me atleast buzzed
If i even get schwag out of it its a miracle, im still a lightweight anyway, i just figured why pay up the ass when i can just grow it?
All the premium weed around here is 20-25$ a gram, fuckin rip off, and the shwag around here is severely taxed and skimped and it barely gets you high,
I almost just want to become an alcoholic, Thanks America!
I really wish i had a camera,
Visual would be soooo much more informative.

I have a plant that is growing outside on my back porch, it is 24 inches tall and 12 inches wide. I just repotted it for the fourth time, I don't want it to get any taller, so what do I do to make it flower?????This is my first plant so any help would be deeply appreciataed.

 

[misterRester]

Outdoors nothing, since marijuana flowers when the days begin to get shorter, but indoors cut your lighting to 12/12 and you should get it to flower, but since you can't control the sun, maybe just tie the top down so it doesnt get much taller, once the days get shorter it will flower.

pot size,personally i use a 10 litre pot with bio bizz soil,this amount of soil is enough for the plants life time.also with taking cuttings of flowering plants the longer you leave it after flowering the longer it will take to re-veg,to speed it up try using vita link plant start.as a rule i wont take cuttings after 21 days on a flowering plant but this is just my own preference.good luck,together we grow together we toke!!!!
