yea man you gotta just search and read everything you get ur habds on,,my girl said when i first joined i spent more time on the cpu learning how to grow weed than she did getting her degree online!LOL,,,you really goota read alot and really be interested in this shit for it to work for you.

yeah purp my wife is the same way i went into a kick doion fta satellite for a while and she was cool with that cuz we got all the free movies and channels and shit and i made some good money hookin friends up now i have a passion to do my own grow cuz these knuckle heads out here in my hood are really disrespecting the weed game and over charging and under weighing everything. these punk ass kids really need a fucking role model lmmfao. any way enough ramblin on here is a pic of the lil one after doin some lst and i also fimed it i hope! the lower nodes are starting to shoot out some new growth and i am getting anxious to see the whole plant take off and start growing really fast. i also got my hands on some mixed bagseeds that my bro in law has been saving all he smokes is the 400 an ounce shit and he has been saving them for almost a year now and had somewhere in the neighborhood of thirty seeds. i put 13 in a paper towel two nights ago and already 6 have popped open. i put 5 in red solo cups about a 1/4 inch under the soil and hopefully they will pop up and be good to go.

Since you expressed an interest in organics here's the scoop on poop. Also here's some information about molasses.

thanks budweaver i truly appreciate your help with my grow. im getting really excited and the more i read the more i wanna do lol. that cabinet that is in the beginning of this post is in another thread that i will be updating here shortly as well. the plants in it are kinda lanky and thin but are really starting to come alive. i started lst on one of them tonight as well. you can find that thread here. https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-growing/193960-1st-cfl-grow-part-2-a.html

its like that here too....im deep in the south,USA ..DEEP!

hell im pretty deep off in the south my self purp lol. hell they pipe sunshine in to us out here lol.

Fucc we gotta download sunshine!LOL

lmmfao i bet that sucks for the fuckers who have dial up

yea man dsl isnt that quick either down here.,,a fuccload faster than dial-up but,,,ive seen a whol lot quicker.

lmmfao im on cable i had dsl but it made it hard for me to pirate my movies lmmfao. now that i have cable internet i can download a new movie in less than an hour beats the shit out of waiting for 6 or 7 hours to get it. any way i will be posting pics here in a few im not real sure the fim tech i tried worked it seems that i only got the leaves and didnt get any of the stem so i guess fuck i missed lol

ok so when i checked on the girl this evening she had some brown spots on her and the lst shit obv didnt work. if any one can please tell me if this is a nute problem or leaf burn i would surely appreciate it also i have taken the hold downs off the plant and decided to say fuck lst and just let her grow for the light and put her outside when the other lil sprouts take off.

here is some pictures of the new pc fans that just came in today i will install them here in a lil while and see if i can add more lights to the rubbermaid in hopes of being able to veg harder. temps have been staying in the low 80s with 3 6500 cfls i want to eventually put 8 in the tub

Im not sure what the spots are but that brown part of the leaf thats looking dead almost looks like its fungal or mold (but im not sure,) Just doesnt look crispy yet it looks dead dry brown.

I wouldn't LST the plants untill they get a little height on them and there stalks are a little stronger. Doing it when they are so young/small is kinda dangerous. The stalk to very easily break & the leaves are way to close to the soil. (It almost appeared as if your plants were pulled directly down on top of the soil. For a young plant this could be very dangerous, mold, bacterias etc.

Are your plants pest free? (have you looked on the underside of your leaves for tiny little specs? (spider mites?)


As always take whatever I & others say with a grain of salt.

i have inspected the leaves and we are pest free as of now the spots were due to my dumbass putting them to close to the lights today the brown spots have dried completely out and crumbled off and the leaf around the spot has bounced back and is looking healthy again. i just got the fans installed and cut some passive intake holes and have moved the lil ones to a dark spot in the closet so i can let the tub continue to run so i can check and see what temp it will run at. thanks for taking the time to look expy i thank you for your input. also i took the hold downs off the plant and will not lst any more. im planning on topping it till it gets really bushy then putting her out side for momma nature to bud out.

Yeah, to get yer LST on, your little babies need some height...and time. You can't just tie them down and say "well, that didn't work". Discipline yourself on patience and return when you're ready to resume your lessons, padawan.

lol thanks budweaver they say patience is a virtue lol i know im not the most patient person in the world for sure lol i am working on it though i have 5 new sprouts i just started in red cups so i will use more dicipline on those i promise

best to start LST as soon as possible..think about it,,when it is just comming up the stem can be bent all the way over almost without breaking..thats the perfect time to start LST

thats what i did and i had the entire stem laying on the ground and the leaves were also on the ground. the stem has gotten really fat but i have decided to let this one grow up if it ever recovers from the topping and being untied. i have started several seeds from the seeds i got the other day, and those i will do something creative with. so if its cool how bout we take opinions and i run some kinda challenge. i will have in the neighborhood of 8 - 10 seedlings in the next few days and using that grow space in the first post of this thread either do a sog or a scrog or just plain ol lst. since you and budweaver have been helping me all this time id like to hear each of you guys opinion on which route i should go.
