Hello Everyone. I've been reading for 2 weeks now. Never getting any sleep this is so interesting.. anyways

I'm planted some bag seed in potting soild added some 10-10-10 to it. I may have over fertilized because leaves were burning up around edges. Any it's been a month now and they haven't grow more than their second set of fan leaves. But in the last 2 days they are starting to move. I had them under 4ft long floros. 24 hours. I recently put them on 8 off 16 on.

Do the plants need the light off to grow??

Since it is bag seed, does that mean it is outdoor sativa that won't grow indoors well?

What is more important with floros, the lumens or the color temp??

Also i transplanted them about 3 times , does that stunt the growth??

If this is even mildly successful i'm going to set up a full hydro set up with a 10 by ten room.

As for the walls i was thinking about using the aluminized paint for trailer roofs? Will that work good.


ThankS in Advance.

dude, i dunno how u been feeding ur plants but when i use to grow in soil, i would feed with pure water and when its time to feed again, i water them with nutes and i would repeat it..u get me?. this help with washing away left over salt ur plant don't take in. it sounds like u have nute burn so just feed them water for the next week.
18 light/ 6 dark is standard.

Do the plants need the light off to grow?? 24/7 first 2 weeks then 18/6 veg. Yes. as they get older they do. Most trichomes production is in the dark. The last couple weeks flower I drop to 10 14 now.

Since it is bag seed, does that mean it is outdoor Sativa that won't grow indoors well? You can grow anything indoors. Sativa just takes longer to flower and is longer. prune your plants.

What is more important with floros, the lumen's or the color temp??
Lumen's. Plants are light sensitive, more the length of time then color.

Also i transplanted them about 3 times , does that stunt the growth??
Not if you didn't disturb the root system and kept them in the same environment.

If this is even mildly successful i'm going to set up a full hydro set up with a 10 by ten room.

As for the walls i was thinking about using the aluminized paint for trailer roofs? Will that work good. Sure, silver, white anything that reflects light. Mylar is best.

You are on the right track, don't forget ventilation. Not so important first couple weeks but if a plant can not exchange CO2 to Oxygen then it will slow growing. From 2 weeks into veg through flower it is important.

Your Welcome.

out door sativa should grow fine indoors...you need a blue (cool) light for vegging and a red (warm) light for flowering,, you transplanted 3 times in how many dayze/weeks? they do tend to need to recover and put some energy into the roots for a week or so before they start to grow more leaves,, I'm not sure about the trailer roof paint... but plain white would be fine ...hope that helps :^)

i had some plants like that they didnt grow because like every newbie growing in soil i over watered it and it was saturated in water and eventually died, so keep an eye on that, also i would suggest trying not to replant it put it in a big pot and leave it let it have some peace. let me know how it goes?
