haha, so even if you were 'stealing' them from someone, that person screwed you over more to begin with by planting them in your yard, putting your family at risk.

bringing them inside hasn't hurt them it actually helped them out i tied them down a lil and woke up this morning and they had already bent up
those lights i pictured earlier didnt fit so i took them back and new ones
thx every1 for the comments
the ground dirt is cool i flushed it a couple of times added some MG 24-8-16 before transplant
did some home depot shopping today
1 - 150w 26k lumens soft white
2 - 100w 16k lumens soft white
2 - 100w 13k lumens day light white

rig 26k + 26k + 16k = 68k

painted my box flat white on inside
dim. 2ft wide and 4ft high and the hole in the bottom to drop the plant about a foot or so.

pics below

P.S
when should i add the Vigora 10-10-10



I predict this grow will have bugs and/or disease... Rinsing out dirt and throwing fertilizer inside does not kill germs or flush out spores and eggs... IF you were to ever use dirt brought in from outside you should bake it in the oven on 350 for at least an hour.

go buy some potting soil for 3 bucks and save yourself the infestation of your family's house.

That bulb first pictured i took it back and got the ones pictured next.

Ok ppl here it is the update:
Week ?? (2 since the day i found them, 1 week inside 18/6 with 6 cfls (10,000 lumens total 1 (2600L) 42w, 5 23w (1x23w 1600L soft white, 4 day light (2x26w 1600L ea. , 2x27w 1300L ea.) so bright i see cfl rings when i look away ha ha ha
No. BUGS have shown up from using outside dirt, there were bugs eating them up when outside but not inside.
They have bushed out, showed sex, 2 minty smellin ladies, I LST'd them so they could be short and bushy (thats why they're bent).
80 degrees constantly
stalk is about the size of a standard sharpie.
towel at bottom to catch drainage and act as humidifier as the towel dries from bulb heat it releases moisture up through the bottom of box.
Also fan is desk fan from Radio Shack 4 bucks on sale quiet 2 speeds, blows plants and lights sways lights back and forth very very lil like a breeze.
Co2 coming soon gotta get the yeast...

peace
any ??? pics below :blsmoke:

BTW, that first 42w CFL bulb you have pictured does not have a built-in ballast like most other CFL bulbs. It's made for a security light that has the ballast built into the light fixture (kinda like fluorescent tube fixtures have the ballast in the fixture, not in the tube). Even if you did have a mogul base socket to screw it into it would not work and might destroy the bulb.

First off you need to seperate the two plants u got cuz i can see that they are in the same pot. This will fuck you over in the long run if u don't change that. Second by the looks of it you plants are mature enough to start to flower but that is your decision. A general rule of thumb is that your plants will at least double in size and may even triple when u switch. As for nutes I would suggest the fox farms line as well as their soil (ocean forest), I have always had great results with this. You also need to get some ventilation in there. Cut some holes in the sides and top to get some fresh air circulation in there because the stagnant air does nothing good for the plant- even with a fan in there.

Good Luck

thanks for the words
as far as separating them lil late 4 that stalks to thick plus they're fine don't wanna lose any but i am thinking of cloning just a lil paranoid
as far as ventilation there are gaps and spaces all over plus the hole its in wider than the bucket fan sucks air up through there
after this week light gets cut to 15/9 then week after 12/12 in real life you don't lose 6 hours so ibroke in half 3 one week and 3 the next

i read once on Overgrow that you can cut the hours back 2 hours from 20/4 until you get to 12/12 but i wanted to try something new 18/6 to 15/9 to 12/12 seems like a better transition to me i'll update on sun w/ pics

update:
Sugar and Spice as i call them are supertastic im 3 days in my 15/9 cycle that i am trying i will be switching to 12/12 on 6-24 at 12am. i made the Co2 DIY but it overflowed like lava didnt make the hole big enough.
oh yeah im switching the 3 blue lights out and putting another red one in, brings my light count down from 6 to 4. i wanna take clones but i dont know where to cut cause the ladies are so short and bushy.. any advice?? the first picture is the ladies when i found them on 6-06, the next pictures are from 6-20: next 4 pics are of Sugar and the next single is Spice she's to bushy to get close ups, then there are a couple of together shots, the lights, a lil sprouter, a top view, and one as if you were peekin in through a crack

and yes i know that they are in same pot can't do much about it thats the way they were in the pot that i found them in.

welp i am sad to say that the hermie turned out to be male ( i think) i have a lot of fists around the neck of the stalk on one and the other doesn't so hmmm. i'll have to wait and see in the morning cause lights cut off on me when i was looking (dark time).
