i want a taller plant. how?

[Stinkmeaner]

If that is your decision, then go with it. But I would strongly suggest that before you make another attempt at growing you first assemble a good growing setup that includes quality HID lighting of at least 400-watts and able to burn both a MH and a HPS bulb.

you just hopped on my train of thought. thats exactly what im gonna do. make a better place for future plants.
im like a bum who's trying to adopt a child. it wouldnt work under the those standards

 

[Stinkmeaner]

Great attitude. But exactly what you would expect from a troll.

4 weeks of constant fucking around gets to me im oh so sorry
and i agree, a troll have no business growing plants.

So you want to know how to make your plant grow taller eh? There is really not a damned thing you can do. The MOST BENEFICIAL thing you could do is to add more light. You say you have 200 watts of CFL, but that would be like 10 of those small bulbs. Do you have 10 bulbs? Many people are confused by the equivalent wattage and the REAL wattage of CFL. IF a CFL puts out the light of a 200 watt bulb but uses 24 watts, well guess what? In plant terms you have 24 watts. If you did what Brick suggested you would see rapid improvement. Pot plants grow fast when you have given them the appropriate amount of water, food and light. Lets assume you have the food and water end down pat, guess what the only thing you can do? ADD MORE LIGHT!!

Your plant looks to be a pure Indica strain. Indica tend to grow much bushier, but yield more product than the taller and lankier Sativa strains. Genetics, you can't change them.

allright first of all the strain is suppose to be WW who is sativa dominant. apparently it isnt,or it aint White Widow im growing, so somebody fucked me over. second of all its only TWO plants were talking about, and i thought 3 small CFL's (around 20 real W) and one big ass 125 real W CFL blue spectrum would work. apparently not. since day one them plants have been retarded.
guess i cant blame none other than myself plus the seedbank who sold me "feminized white widow" when it actually was Tomatos.
im just mad, thats all

If she is pretty and slender, has a butt that would fit in a tea cup and does not possess the bitch gene and has some perverse attraction to 55 year old men, then yes, I would likely marry her.

You just described my brother. He's available if you swing that way.

 

[ledgrowing]

your big cfl is blue spec switch it to a red spec and raise light it should stretch but to me plant looks good just to much water

 

[Stinkmeaner]

glad somebody likes it. i really dont. not anymore

 

[Purplekrunchie]

so your saying , Zinc can be used if you want to keep them tight in veg ?...Thats something i could use , Unlike the OP , I like mine nice and low and bushy in veg

OP , Are you saying you just want them taller coz you don't like how they look being small and bushy ?

And ... Do them pots have drainage holes ?

Vitamin B-9 keeps them short too, and zinc yes, but, I would check into what too much zinc does to things, be careful. I believe too much zinc can kill too.

I actually like growing sativas, because I like a little stretch, lets the light get in between the internodes better. One that I have now is very compact, I'm having a tough time getting branching, I have been training it to help, but it's very compact.

Unfortunately I think they all come with the bitch gene! lol

Tell me about it! That's why I specified that would not be acceptable.

Every woman that's been a part of my life has either been a heart-breaker or a luna-chick .. and they both stem from the bitch gene.

Thanks for the offer but I go for the ones with an 'innie,' not an 'outie.'

You may be better off to buy your weed and find a new hobby then. Patients is right at the top of list when it come to horticulture.

u probly right. plus i need to stop comparing my plants to others. since my lighting is much weaker than others the grow will be slower.
problem is, i never take my own advices.

 

[NLXSK1]

but it looks ridicilous :S its growing leaves on the leaves ...theres visualy no branches

Are you growing bud or growing a plant?

First off, how are you going to get any foilage penetration with CFL's and a tall plant?

You definitely want your plant short and bushy if you are using CFL's.

 

[webb107]

i aint buyin no new motherfucking lights! thats just it.
i may be slow, but not as slow as the retarded plant im housing....i see your points and i registered the facts about the lighting situation
nevertheless, i aint fucking around with the plant no more. i just gon water the piece of bullcrap for plant and see how he/she likes it. the rest is up to itself

maybe growing weed isnt for u, if u cant be bothered to put the effort in why bother at all?

simply beacause i WILL finish what i started! the seedbank sold me bad seeds, (not confirmed) ive had all sort of problems with this one plant, i have lighting shortage, i have minimum space to grow in, i have no funds left and the odds are are against me. nevertheless, i WILL finish what ive started!
and thats on my momma!

thats fine but, my first ever grow i veged my plants with 1 40w T8 fishtank tube and borrowed a fan off a freind the only thing i brought for my first ever grow was 600w hps for £65 which was when i started to flower and that turned out fine
