New to Growing

luckydog82 · Oct 2, 2009

Hi all new to growing and this A1 site.My setup is in my attic on the QT with one 200w cfl in a closed reflector.I planted mine about 4 weeks ago had them on my windowsill but have them under the light 2 weeks.I have 2 Big Bang and 1 Hawaiian Snow.I noticed that the big bang leaves have started to droop I'm not sure if its a ph problem according to this site thats what it looks like so i used a lemon juice water solution in the hope to fix it will keep posted
Plants are 7- 9 inches with 4 sets of nodes I'm going to start flowering tomorrow my parents were away for 3 weeks home sunday so things are going to be harder to keep an eye on.
Any extra tips would be great such as cheap odour control
thanks in advance

I hear carbon filters are good for odor control although i have no use for them seeing how i need no odor control. plants are looking good. looks a bit overwatered, how often do you water?

luckydog82 · Oct 2, 2009

I was watering every day but only a small bit at a time I never watered till a little water came out should I.I only transplanted Monday and i topped them.

you should slow down on the water. instead of watering them alittle every day, water them alot every 2 days. the roots need time to dry out and absorb oxygen. the last pic is defiantly over watering, and maybe heat stress....... what are the temps?

odor controll on a tight budget? check this out, its around $25 https://www.rollitup.org/do-yourself/101248-best-diy-ez-walmart-carbon.html

I actually come from the green isle across the water so Walmart is out of the question.The grow is in my attic which isn't insulated but i'm only using 6500k 200w Envirolight you can hold the bulb it doesn't get too warm even.The attic is airy i just have the light hanging at the back with painted white cardboard surrounding it and an oscillating fan blowing on the plants.Should i be worrying about low temps i have the light on 24/0 and was going to start flowering tomorrow with the 2700k 200w Envirolight 12/12.I,m worried about having to get up into the attic everyday to water but should be ok the house does be empty at least once a day.But my biggest worry is the smell in a few weeks how smelly does it really get.I was thinking of making a small tent around the area and hanging a small bathroom extractor fan in the tent and hooking it up to a homemade carbon filter could this work or would a few odouriser gels up in the attic work.how smelly can 3 plants get

luckydog82 · Oct 3, 2009

just changed the bulb to the 2700k (there is a pic of it) and set the timer to 12/12 only 8 weeks for the big bang and 11 for the hawaiian snow just in time for christmas.One of the big bang has some leaves crinkling in the middle(pic 1)Any ideas ?.Pic 2 is the HS and then the Big Bang notice the purple stems is this normal.This is just a trial run for next year when i will have somewhere to grow without the worry of the parents finding it.Thanks in advance for any help given

possible heat burn, should be fine if so

luckydog82 · Oct 5, 2009

Just took these pictures 2nd day flowering tell how you think they look

Corbat420 · Oct 6, 2009

2 days flowering you wont see that much of a difference. between 7-12 days is one of the coolest times (i say) because you get to watch the development of the calyxs and pistols, to see how the plant will produce calyx's and pistols the whole flowering period.

Im telling dad you have pot plants in the attic!!!!!!!! :twisted:

blizzie420 · Oct 6, 2009

Dude one plant can be very stanky. Especially in flower, you can expect 3 to give off quite a powerful odor. Ionizers help a lot.

luckydog82 · Oct 6, 2009

Yeah i was thinking that the parents came home from holiday last night and didn't leave the house today so i didn't get a chance to check on them today.I hope this isn't going to happen alot .how long would plants be able to go without a watering and remember i'm using CFL and i assume that evaporation wouldn't happen as much if i was using HPS.Thanks for any replies, will keep posting pics of the grow whenever i can.

luckydog82 · Oct 7, 2009

Just watered the plants noticed 1 of the big bangs has some leaves discolouring maybe i should flush them but the other 2 seem fine.Just wondering when i repotted the plants i added chickin shit pellets to the soil i repotted in not a lot but could that be nute burning in any way.thanks for any replies :confused:

luckydog82 · Oct 9, 2009

Day 5 flowering plants might be moving them out of the house next week to pastures new

blizzie420 · Oct 9, 2009

luckydog82 · Oct 12, 2009

Just checked on my babies just got the chance to water them since friday .Tell me what you think one of them seems to have a lot of downward curling leaves,would like to flush it but i wouldn,t risk somebody coming home while doing it ,i will keep checking it as much as i can hopefully it will perk up anyways tell me what you think folks all comments welcome

luckydog82 · Oct 13, 2009

I,m high at the moment so bear with me lol,Today after much thought I flushed 1 Big Bang it was looking poorly with drooping curling leaves with some nute burn and i noticed the new growth was deep green on the outside,I think I read this could be too much nitrogen so I flushed.Time will tell if this was a good Idea.Anyway the other Big Bang and the Hawaiian Snow look class :mrgreen:

I also put in pics of my attic and where i have my setup, codenamed Sticky Green Fingers FUCK YEAH, bongsmilie

Well tell me what you think folks,Have I found my Forte :eyesmoke:

ayo lucky,you should look into botanicare clearex,i bought that shit a couple of months ago in preparation for this particular grow,its pretty cheap like 11 dollars a quart i think,it'll cut your flushing time by a few days
