Are two halogen lights Enough to grow 5 hash bomb plants start to finish

Halogen lights will not grow anything except dissapointment. If it's a money thing, get yourself some 6500K 23w or 26w cfls for veg and use 2700k for flower. I have alsmost 550 watts of cfl for 4 plants and it really needs more.

what are the benefits for doing this?

In nature, the suns cycles do not change over night.(days get shorter) It happens over a period of weeks. By doing it this way, I believe it reduces the stress of flipping to 12/12 and and keeps growth from slowing. Just my opinion.

hi can any1 tell me do u use red flower or a blue veg or both to grow lowryders any1 no the best nutrients cheers

Are you asking if your use a red spectrum for flower and a blue spectrum for veg than yes you are correct. As for Nutes, I use the Dyna-Gro Line and the JAckks classic Dynamic Duo.

Please Help! I have been growing plats for around 2 months outdoors. They around 14-16" tall. The problem is the location of the plats only gets around 5-6hrs. of sunlight a day. Will this be enough? Will they still bud? Indoor growing is not an option. I can bring them inside to create there dark cycle though.

 

[bigman4270]

thanks for the advice Bigman. i steadied my itchy fingers and just hours ago got my first sprout.

Cheers

Rite on my friend, now the miracle begins. Learn to give em what they wan't, not what evryone say's they need and you will do OK.

Peace

Ok so I have already determined that MG nutes are a o brainer, but I noticed the perlite and Peat moss that I blended with my soil says enriched with MG plantfood. Is this bad? Im in a first grow and have asked ?s in other threads, if anyone would be generous enough to help, please see other posts. Im having problems. Thanks...

Do you mean 5-6 hrs of direct sunlight? If they are outside and its daytime then they are getting light. Need to keep em at 18 hrs of sunlight and 6 of dark. If it less than the plant will think it's time to flower.

I use the pearlite and the peatmoss both and have not had any problems. It seems to be a very small amount. Just rember, everytime you water you are releasing nutes to the plant.

Sound like a Nitrogen deficiency. If you are using a low N2 nute for flower than that could be the problem. A plant still need N2 during flower. It keeps the leafs green so they can provide energy for the plant to bud.

Hello ! ^__^
I'm currently growing 2 feminized white dwarf autos.
They're under 150 watt hps .
I'm using ffof.
73-85 Degrees, 50-60 humidity.
I will be using FF Tigerbloom & Big Bloom two weeks after growing.
20/4 light cycle.
Started them in 3 gallon buckets,
and put them 1/2 of an inch in the soil.
Actually i might have put them a little deeper than that,
which has me worried.
It's been 3 Days and no sprout..
is this normal, or should i just be patient?

ohh i forgot to add that the first two days
i really didn't keep it the soil that moist.
I use a small spray bottle and mist it about 4 times,
but it would dry up fast.
Should i spray it everytime it dries out ?

You can take them off any time, you don't necessarily have to use 24/0, you could've started at 18/6, or 20/4, etc.
In a week or two after it comes up, you should start to see rapid growth(if optimal conditions are provided)

ya i switched them to 18/6 and they are starting to grow more leaves
how long do i have to wait till i can start flowering them?
p.s. they are 6 days old and are about 4 inches tall

OK just a couple things. Temp and humidity are Good for veg but you will need to get it down for flower. Not sure about your nutes, I use the Dyna-Gro series and Jacks Classic. They are a balanced fert the is pretty cheap. As for the 3 gal buckets, IMO I would have started them in a party cup and let em get some roots developed before upcanning them to the 3's. Next relaxe about the sprouts. It can take 7 to 14 days to pop. You can use some plastic wrap to help keep the soil moist till the pop. Just make sure you remove it when they sprout so they can get some fresh air.

Hope it helped.

Peace

They're auto-flowers which means i can keep it 20/4 throughout the whole cycle.
The seeds only take 70 days to fully grow.
I just put plastic wrap over the buckets,
so i'll leave it on until they sprout.
I just need to be patient -__-
At 9pm tonight it will be 4 days.

I would need to know how old they are and what stage they are in...pics would help a lot!

That differs with strain, but usually between the 2-4 week mark...

thx but did you mean that every time i water the perlite and peatmoss release the MG nutes? I was also told to use the MG with BLOOM BOOSTER for flowering. Any thoughts, I use no other nutes at all. also on budget
