your temps are good..dont blow directly onto the plants...just make it so they shake a lil, it will make them build strong stems. they should perk back up when the roots stretch out..You are gonna need some bigger pots when it comes time to flower..At least 3 gal. Also how tall can you let them grow? If height is going to be an issue, when they get about 4 sets of leaves you can gently pull the plant to the side...This will give the sides more light give you more nuggage, and keep that plant short an bushy..

if you have some extra cash and want to get a bad ass nute, get bushmaster by humboldt county's own. It will stop all vertical growth. Stop the stretch phase, and stack your budding sites. Its about $25 for the small bottle..well worth it tho cus it lasts a long time.

The closet is very narrow but it goes from 6-7 feet down to 3. I can grow them tall. What I need to work on is how to mount my lights once my plants get bigger. I don't really have any ideas right now, except maybe making more of those reflectors?

The bubba kush has more then 4 sets of leaves but is it ready to be tied down? How would I tie down in a ceramic pot, do I still drill a hole through it?

I think I'm going to get the bushmaster too

SmokeyMcSmokester · Nov 27, 2008

bushmaster is GREAT! just apply super low doses..It is hella potent and can burn your plants if you give them too much.

Let the BK veg a lil bit..if you are going to tie the top, you want the main stem to be strong. Pull it gently, dont use too much pressure, you can tie it down tighter and tighter as days go by.

Are you going to use CFLs the whole grow? I would recommend at least getting a 150W HPS for flowering.

Here is a link for a 150W HPS light..Its only $20 +sh.

you just have to rewire the ballast to make it remote, its easy to do.

Yeah I was thinking about getting that light. I think I'll go ahead and do it. How would I mount it?

I'm not sure if this closet is going to work because of how narrow it is. Also the air in it isn't being vented outside. I dont know if I want to leave them just sitting in the closet, or put them in a box in the closet or my room.

It's my first time so I'm just experimenting and hoping it works out.. :weed:

SmokeyMcSmokester · Nov 27, 2008

I made mine a cooltube

dwarf · Nov 27, 2008

Oh nice, do you have a link to a writeup for that by any chance?

SmokeyMcSmokester · Nov 27, 2008

https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/121080-diy-cool-tube-how.html
I followed this guys instruction..I tweaked it a lil bit. If you make a cooltube you'll have to a fan for one end of the duct so it can blow air through the tube.

They sell duct fans at Home Depot for like $20. Im using a high velocity fan I bought from HTGsupply

This is the cab I made for my cooltube..Im making another one, as soon as the light gets here.

That looks sweet, but my real concern is an issue of ventilation and heat, because I'm in such a small and confined area

dwarf · Nov 27, 2008

My littlest plant is looking worse then it did this morning, it's withering away into nothing

JacksonGrams · Nov 27, 2008

Is this inside? I'm really not too sure either man it's my first time too. GOODLUCK THOUGH :-P

SmokeyMcSmokester · Nov 27, 2008

which plant is wilting?

dwarf · Nov 28, 2008

My little guy's soil was hella dry and it's leaves were crispy, and I did water it. It's about to die I think.

My bubba kush has a few stains on the leave looks like yellow in the middle.

I was doing 24/0(for 2 days) but switched to 18/6 last night. The temp dropped from 84 to 65.

SmokeyMcSmokester · Nov 28, 2008

dude that's a huge drop in temp! Dont give up on her!

dwarf · Nov 28, 2008

"The Purps" is the plants thats drooping. It's leaves are extra crispy and it looks pretty sad right now. I've had the fan off because I don't know if my little guy can even handle it

SmokeyMcSmokester · Nov 28, 2008

if you have a lil skewer or something prop it up...

Mr. Pacific · Nov 28, 2008

Don't die peanut!

SmokeyMcSmokester · Nov 29, 2008

I have faith in yer babies...They'll come around.

dwarf · Nov 29, 2008

The leaves are hella crispy and my top plant has some marks on the top. I lifted the light up a little, I dont know if its too hot. It was at about 84 degrees. Is 12 100w equivalent cfls too much?

My little plant is basically dead.

Is this from overwatering, underwatering, heat stress?

SmokeyMcSmokester · Nov 29, 2008

looks like overwater and heat...you want to stay under 85..where did you get those clones? a dispensarie? or a friend?
