Your going to need a timer for the lights, some 3-5 gallon pots, I would go with those breathable fabric pots, as for lights get some 45W-60W cfls, also read this book http://www.amazon.com/Marijuana-Buds-Less-Grow-Than/dp/0932551874 I think you can find it free in pdf form somewhere, but it is a very helpful book, it help me a lot when I was first started

You might be better off with t5s. It will cost about the same as the cfls would.

4Life2style0 · Jul 6, 2014

And the 23 watt cfls have a better lumen output( through research you will realize the importance of lumens)

Long story short. You have great potential. Research , and give those plants some light

don't worry about lighting the room. You will come back and be a totally different grower!!!

Did you move the light yet. ...they are literally begging you...read up on what your doing it will really help...The point here is to grow big buds....not grandma's daisies. Be informed or crash and fail....oh yea MOVE THE LIGHT CLOSER

yes i moved the plant to the window is that okay??

Since it is so small can you just find a nice spot in your yard to put it in through the day... For now. At least till you rig up lights to be closer?

yes that my plan how much sunlight would u suggest its outside right now and have 3 other seeds in a cup now so a tottaly of 5 plants how much light would i need>???

Your in way to deep for 5 plants either grow outside....get a good set of 4ft t5s like 400 watts or a 400-600watt metal halide you can't grow all that under a few cfls

4Life2style0 · Jul 6, 2014

You need all the sunlight. Plus some since the sunlight is going down now...

Don't pee on your plants. There is nitrogen in urine that when diluted may help, but not right now. You should top you pots off with more soil to bury that lanky stem and make it stronger by doing so...

You need a good 100 watts for the first plant, and at least 50 more watts for each additional plant. This is a vague estimate but widely and popularly used. You need to make a shopping list and go to Home Depot. Not that expensive actually. If you need help with that list I can help and so can so many of us here. This place is awesome.

What up, what's your next question... Just smoked a few bowls and my lil one is napping so I'm on here for a lil bit lol

From the looks of it, he is right for the first part. Don't take on 5 females yet. You have nothing as far as there needs go. And I'm not talking nutes, I'm talking lighting, air flow, temp control, smell control...and kore

wow so should i just stick to 3 i can get rid of those i have like

jdizzle84 · Jul 6, 2014

Yes they can. Your aiming for 18 hours of light a day. Get to close to 12 hours of light a day and they will just flower from the start

4Life2style0 · Jul 6, 2014

Get your soil wet and tape a sandwich bag over the cup. This locks in the humidity. Which is a must until they pop, when they pop through the soil, remove the bag. When you are germinating , humidity, and lots of it is a must. A nice warm spot. Oh yea. They will love you for it. And when they pop, DONt make them ask for lighting. Have it ready! And close!

jdizzle84 · Jul 6, 2014

I would stick to one or 2 and learn a bit honestly get a grow or 2 under your belt then go at ut

Keep me for now. Your goal is to get the strongest females. And to do so you gotta pop more than one.

4Life2style0 · Jul 6, 2014

People usually use fem seeds but yours are reg, which is fine. But pop a lot. Assume half are males and trash them when they show you so. Trash your weak females. If you pop a dozen , assume 6 are female, and trash the other six. Then trash the weakest 4 females, then you are left with two ladies you know are strong hefty ladies!

4Life2style0 · Jul 6, 2014

You need to research LST too.

4Life2style0 · Jul 6, 2014

Ugh, it would be easiest if you just came over,
we could pack some bowls, talk about goals, , plus I'm no troll.
I'd set you up right, so you could take flight, all on your own, from seeds to clone, but you would never be alone
We always here to assist,
And make your high so bliss, cause you would be growing the best, trashing the rest, not having to guess, what your yield would be at best!

Ok, so maybe I smoked a bit too much
