PLEASE HELP

Ok this is my very first grow I've watched many guides and read many tutorials but I can't work out if somethings wrongbasically my girls leaves are starting to droop and the leaves feel slightly dry but apart from that they look healthy and new leaves look fine I really just need someone to put my mind at ease , I think I had been over watering due to the fact that when I started I had no idea what I was doing and I have been keeping them in the bathroom and my step daughter decided to help me out by almost drowning them with a full soak after they already had a drink they are over a week old maybe close to 2 and until a few days ago they were fine then one by one they started drooping , there life so far from seed has been as follows , day 1 planted seeds ,soaked soil put in bathroom on window ledge . Day 2 left in same spot didn't water , day 3 saw seeds starting to break through , end of day 3 removed seed case from 2 seedlings . Day 4 seedlings are doing fine put out in backyard for better lighting today took them back inside about 10pm as Sun was gone and it's cold outside , since then they spend all day outside and the night's in the bathroom I have only fed water but the soil mix I'm using I think has some fertilizer but there's no signs of leaf burn and I've flushed the soil and checked the ph twice before feeding everything should be right I don't know if I'm still over watering I have started watering only when the top inch has been almost completely dry since about day 5 , will include pics you will see what I mean

They should be gently transplanted into their own pots. It does look like overwatering meaning watered before top inch of soil dries out.

I would put them under some 6500K florescent lighting as well.

I would also question why your daughter in law knows about your grow.

My daughter in law thinks they are herbs I havnt told her what they are and didn't have anywhere else to start them off as I'm still buying parts for my grow box, thank you so so so much for the fast reply dalek you are a legend

If you have the time later dalek I have a couple questions I really need to ask and there's no1 local I can talk to as my friends know about a quarter as much as I do, I have to make my box stealth as possible as obviously it's still illegal here in aus

I have a nice size coffee table about a foot and a half width and height underneath I plan on putting my best girl in , also me and my partner smoke only a small ammount usually on the weekends so any concerns about small yield doesn't matter if I get a few grams out of her that's fine. So I'm going to put in some wooden pannels to hide the plant I have a 10cm fan for circulation and I plan on putting 1-3 cfls in a hole I drilled in the top the issue I'm having is finding the right kind of socket on a power chord , I've called my local hardware store and the local lighting store with no luck the best they had was some outdoor flood lights that plug in to power point , I think what I'll end up doing is getting a common house socket that fits a cfl and wiring an extension lead directly to the socket do you think that would be ok and will one light be enough for a very small dense plant as I plan to top her early and make her as dense as possible and I'm going to flower early as I just don't have the room for a bigger plant nor can I take the risk

This is a whole lot of fucking about for a "few grams".. why wouldn't you stick with buying from dealers? If your n your mrs don't smoke that much your not going to be saving any money, and you spend more on making a grow area/box than you'd probably smoke in a year..

Separate and replant and bury them a little deeper so the stem is shorter.

Plant in dryish soil.

Josh.

Check out my tutorial. Search "pc micro grow", and "stealth micro grow".

There's many ideas out there. I wish I took pictures of a cfl fixture with reflector that was total ghetto (200 watts) I made long ago. Ha!

Learn some basic electrical wiring to be safe. You can wire your own sockets. Google & Youtube for adaptable ideas.

It will pay for it's self with the fun of learning to grow, especially stealth growing.

Exactly it also eliminates dealing with the indigenous who run the stick houses who give you barely half a gram for $25 I've only spent about $30 and need to spend another 20-30 to have everything I need if I get 1.5 gs it's already payed for itself and I can do another small grow every few months making all future harvest 100% free also I enjoy having a project and something to check on I've wanted to grow for a very long time now

Also half the reason I'm doing this is for the investment because we have a very tight budget and can't afford the extra fuel to go to the other side of town or the 25

Right on Josh.

If I was you I would concentrate on a stealth micro veg & clone chamber first.

Clone your plants then bloom them in a later built bloom chamber.

Veg/clone chambers need less wattage, and airflow than a bloom chamber.

Any reccomendations on when to switch over to 12-12 ?? I've seen someoone get 13gs out of a 1 1/2 ft plant so I guess I'd switch over at just under 1/2, can you please link me to your stealth grow guide
? I also want to try and do the bloom in the same box swapping over the lights if possible because I'm having a very hard time convincing my partner to let me go ahead with the one box as it is, if I have to I'll make a bloom box but I'd really like to keep it as small scale as possible I already have to have this in the bedroom as there's no spare room in the house, we don't have house inspections which is great but partner is just worried and fair enough if I did get caught it would be some jail time and possible eviction so yeh whatever I have to do to keep it low key and her off my back haha, appreciate the help mate

I understand about the situation.

People do 12/12 from seed. When you do flip you have to make sure that the 12 hours of dark is completely dark. Depending on strain the plant can up to triple in size during the 12/12 stretch.

I would average 10-12 grams dry from rooted clone straight to 12/12.

Until you are ready to bloom you should do some heavy training.

I just found out my journals from another site is gone unless it's a temporary error? Glad I saved the old pics. I do not take pics from a camera phone.

Danny that sucks about your journals man sorry to hear hope it's just a glitch or something, what training would you recommend for small grow ? I was planning on topping a couple times then just tying down the highest point over and over as I saw in a few vids I don't know much about super cropping but I think it won't really work well for a small plant if at all

I would top to bush it out. During the stretch if it starts to go past my floro I pinch the stem crushing it just enough so it bends over.

I have a feeling that the forum is gone for good. No problem.

Here's a pic of a topped before 12/12 rooted clone, and how it bushes out the bud sites. I could of shown you a pinched plant, but that's gone with the site. LOL!

..Good shit..!!!

I rephrase.

That works fine in the UK but I don't know the power systems you use over your way. I would imagine it will work fine but check online to be sure. You could put a plug on a 3 wire cable and wire many small CFLs together if you wanted. Its a simple thing to do. Plenty of diagrams online to follow. The right gauge cable, some connector blocks and electricians tape, some wire strippers and a plug and your away.
I would imagine lighting and sockets run the same Volts world wide( I mean within each country not USA is same as UK or AU), but not been an electrician I wouldn't take my word on that!!
