Looking pretty good so far... You mentioned you were hoping to keep the plants on the shorter side, so I thought you might want to read up on topping for multiple colas. I used the info from Uncle Ben's thread and it worked perfectly for me. Your plants will be shorter than single cola...

Here is a link to a great thread from a veteran grower here at RIU...Uncle Ben knows his stuff, so read at least the first few pages and you'll learn what you need to know. I've done his topping for 4 colas on my first grow, and things went perfectly. Good luck...

Yes, you need to plant that baby asap! The longer the taproot gets, the more you risk damaging it when you plant...so when you see it peeking out, you should put it in the soil right away. Taproots are fragile, and if it gets broken, you are out of luck on getting anything to grow. Once in...

I'm about to switch into flowering after 8 weeks veg. My plants will be due for their nutes the day before changing to 12/12, and are currently getting Schultz 10-15-10. I have Fox Farm Big Bloom ready and waiting to go, but should I start using it now, or wait until after they've been in...

Fan box says its mid way between 'silent' and 'loud' - the range was from 0 to 6, with this model being a 3 on the noise rating (best model on shelf was still a 2.5 rating). Noise won't be much of an issue anyway...just need it strong enough to suck air through a carbon filter pad.

Growing in soil with CFLs, so temps are not a problem. Colder weather here now means my top temps only get to 77F with lights on. The closet is about 3feet by 10feet (with whatever is standard ceiling height) but my grow box is only about 2x4 of that. It is open topped right now, but I have...

What you need to know? Got open top for air flow right now, but will be enclosing it soon and adding DIY carbon filter and maybe the vent hose to cut down on smell. Closet is large enough that if the carbon filter and fan work well, I may not need to run vent hose to outside and will just let...

I got a ventilation fan like for a bathroom/shower that is set up to vent into a 4inch outlet hose(which I already had). Do you think this will be workable for a closet grow box setup? I think it was a 70cfm, if I remember correctly.:bigjoint:

Answers anyone? Please...

Yeah, that baby has balls...sorry dude!

Can I re-pot the girls as soon as they show sex, or will it stress them too much and cause them to hermie? Should I wait a little while into flower before I put them into the big pots instead?

Look for something in headers of photo folder that says either "edit" or "resize". From whatever program you saved your photos with, there should be options to enhance or edit them in various ways...adding text, cropping, color adjustment, etc. When you choose the "resize" option, it should...

I'm a new grower too and have found some really great information from threads by a veteran grower here. Uncle Ben knows his stuff, so take some time to read at least some of these. I've used his topping technique with fantastic results so far. Four cola plants are so sweet looking compared...

Yes - repot that poor baby ASAP if you don't want to lose it! It is likely starving for nutes from the small amount of soil it has probably stripped clean of them. It should be much bigger at 9 or 10 weeks. I'm a new grower and using only CFLs, but my plants range from 8-16 inches now and...

Once I switch to flower, do I need to wait for them to get used to the 12/12 before I give them nutes again? I've been using Schultz 10-15-10 for several weeks, but I got a bottle of FF Big Bloom for them in flowering. Should I change to the bloom nutes right away - and do I need to feed very...

Here is my closet garden on day 49. I plan to switch them into flower next week when they reach their 8week birthday. They have been making good progress, some growing as much as an inch in just one day! At last measure, the tallest was over 15inches - that means it will likely end up around...

If you're thinking of growing more than a couple plants, you'd be better off with HID lighting - especially since you would have the ideal situation with temperatures. HID lighting puts out a lot more heat than CFLs, which would actually be a help to you in a cold attic grow room. I don't know...

Hi there - welcome to RIU! I'm on my first grow, and I ordered from NirvanaShop.com as they have great stealth worldwide shipping. I had two packages arrive in under a week for each (Eastern US), and in two different stealth methods. Both were very discreet and well camoflaged. I highly...

I'm using CFLs for my first grow, but I saved this link from another post I saw. It's a 400w that is switchable from MH to HPS for just $155 on Amazon - and it comes with BOTH bulbs too! I plan to get one for my second grow, so I can use what I've learned on the first try with some kick ass...
