My First Attempt at a Hidden Grow (Tips Please) Pics Included

Found some sweaty patches on the leafs but i assume thats all its is sweat from the humidity , as leafs were sat on each other. These big fan leafs are becoming a pain :/

i cant get my head round how my lst has like x3's the growth my others have. My nute mix is weak so im feeding them everyday gonna keep a close eye on them for any change tho. i need to wrok out what the right balance is , theres nothing wrong with my plants so i havent changed what im doing but i keep reading some people only water every 4 days :S i water daily only a little tho, made me wonder.

good grow man keep it up. will keep a eye out on it. good luck

do what works for you ..... that's one of the hardest thing for people to realize..... certain things work for certain people / strains/ grows setups.
Not all of us have the same setup, just read your plants and they will let you know what your supposed to be doing.
just a bit of advice..... give em a good watering (just till a little drips out of the bottom of the pot) and let them soak it up.... if you water daily, you might end up with mold of fungus gnats or bugs.

Just some advice !
+ rep
Keep it going strong man !

Cheers guys i notice the plant i topped is going purple up the stem and fans looks cool

im justing dieing for more light tbh things are moving slowly now. makes me want to flower even more im going to try hold off for another 4 weeks tho.

yeah dude for sum reason when im like 3 inches down into pot it feels a TAD bit moist.. it felt the same for like 3 days after that.. is that normal? lol

oh dude and i saw these flys there.. so i chopped up sum garlic.. and i havent seen em flying around lmfao.. i dunno if it really worked though.. im thinkin of putting sand on top of soil so the eggs dont hatch and fly up.. :]

Ontheball have you topped your plants yet? if so howd ya do it? i just straight up pinched off this new growth.. but i did it on my weak plant in case i fucked up. I hear people over thing shit and its all simple so i just did it and tried not to stress over it :] cant wait to see what happens in a week :]

thanks wavey its awaiting stronger equip but there doing brillaint considering ! FG i dont have a set routine for watering i just give them a little everyday , if in the morning the pots still moist i wont water for that day , but as soon as i see/feel it start to dry up i give it a little. Im not a fan of giving them water until run off , i believe thats how most people end up over watering
Ive only topped one of my plants , i did it in the same way as you. its better to top a healthy plant as it redistributes the hormones quicker and more efficently, making new growth speedy. The plant ive topped has now turned purple in places and i have 2 new growths from the top looks good. However i dont believe its worth topping when your lst'ing as techincally its the same thing , one way uses stress ( topping ) the other doesnt (tieing/training) , ive gained an extra 2 plants aswell :/ running out of room i need a seperate room to flower in. >.<

ill get some pics up later today of the topped dude, all my plants are trained atm to get an even canopy and get better spread of light and closer there about half the height of my grow box when standing

nice man! and yeah my pot takes FOREVER to get dry.. makes me wonder.. like.. i heard of 5 gallon buckets takin like 6 days.. mine is like.. 10 and it will STILL feel a bit moist on the bottom 3 inches down. I just heard that if u let it dry it forces the roots to expand more searching for the water and in the long run, strong roots to absorb more water/nutrients and to be able to handle stress.

i try to keep track of watering but it doesnt really matter so i do it by memory. i just check it every couple days and look at the leaves every day, if they look down i check it, if they look normal than i might forget to check.

i put garlic on my soil to keep the pests away (i hope im right on that one) all i noticed now were huge fucking masquito catchers and one fly instead of like.. 4 flys, mother fuckers gettin smart too everytime im ABOUT to swat them they fly away lmfao

Ive been pretty lucky it seems my leafs are always standing strong never seen them do anything else , ill fuck up soon im sure. Not had any pest problems either but i dont think ive done anything to introduce them either my pots earnt very big and my lights dont produce much heat either. Do you water your plants from the top i.e soil or the bottom from a tray ?

I water from top, the reason my leaves are down a bit is because i force the roots to stretch out for more water so in the long run i can be VERY happy :]

Plus ima transplant soon and i know when ya transplant ya gotta water again, i didnt wanna take the chance in over watering.

is it best to transplant from pot to outdoor soil during night or morning?

Sounds like everything is going well, cant wait to see the pics dude. When i started reading this thread i couldnt help but laugh at the guys telling you to put a HPS lamp in there haha. They wanted to have you build a small oven heh.

I believe its better to water through a tray tbh watering from the top can sometimes leave the bottom of the pot dry causing roots to up turn. You counter this with watering until theres plenty of run off, but not all strains like that much water. I couldnt comment on anything outside mate because ive never tried, if i need todo anything to my i always do it at lights on watering lst topping anything.

Cheers hg im slacking on the pics i know 0 yeah man if i put a hps in there id probably burn me sodding house down lol sod all venting too lol

yeh wheres the new pics? lol i have been slacking on mine as well

lol I water whenever its been 6+days and i water it so theres a lot of drainage going on to ensure im watering all the salt buildups and all that other bad shit, leave it elevated at an angle ABOVE the ground so water can still drip and not have to force the puddle to expand out.

than i repeat the process all i know is the roots stretch cuz top drys quicker than bottom, and the plants are growing and are not close to death and are gettin dense :]

how many of them seeds/spare plants u got atm? *sense a deal for a HPS light brewing*
