Salut!

Just saying what's up as I'm fresh meat in here and wanted to get going. I've got my first grow into six days of 12/12 and am having some problems...have to get all the details together but will be back with photo's and questions when i figure out how this all works.

I've found this site an amazing resource, really glad to have found it.
 
what up my names daniel first time grower, kinda did the steps got seed started the degermination once they cracked i planted them in pre soiled cubes after about a week they were about 2 inches everything as lookin good but im starting to feel like they are starting to grow in slow motion its been 2 and a half weeks now and just barely breaking about 2 and a half inches. how can i speed up the grow process ?

Thanks for the advice DoinIt2Gether this helps a lot!! I did not know miracle grow has such a high pH, i was worried about it being too acidic. Going to get a pool pH tester now, thanks again!

Hey all. just joined thought id say ello. Im trying my 1st grow and have chosen some Blueberry Cheese. I have 18 plants in a 2400x1200x2000 tent with two 600 sodium's. the temp at max is average 27/28c and the min is 19.8. Im in the 2nd week of flower and have just noticed some of the leafs are curling up slightly but the plants look healthy to my novice knowledge. is this normal? thanks

Just make sure your pool tester goes low enough to be able to put your pH at 6.5. Some of them only go down to 7

Oh, and also, "hot" soil means too many nutes (or nutrients) for a young plant. MG actually has a very low pH, but too many nutes for tender roots. You don't really have to worry about the pH of the soil, just make sure ur water is always pH'ed at 6.5.

So i put a little bit of soil with a little distilled water in a water bottle and shook it up and then tested the pH using pH test strips. Its a little hard to read because the dirty water tinted the results but it looks like a redish orange, probably between 7.5 and 8. I have white vinegar, how much should i add to the watering cycle and should that fix the problem alone? Thanks

Uh yeah just saw your response right after I posted above so nm, sorry still getting used to posting on here. But yeah all 6 of em made it from germination till now so I guess they're doing ok with the MG.
Thanks again

Hello everyone!
I'm a complete newb researching and putting together plans to build myself a 100% stealth PC grow box using CFL lighting and a carbon air filter. I'm planning on it being a personal two plant split system from what I've read so far since there is a vegetation and flowering stage I want to do both at the same time to maximize productivity. I'll be posting my plans I am writing from all the information I'm reading once I finish them. Any feedback/prods in the right direction won't go unread.

Also, once I'm finished with my grow box I want to try growing some other type of plants so I can learn the basics on something I won't regret if its a bad harvest. Could anyone suggest a similar plant in terms of growing conditions/mannerism I could grow in it?

Welcome to the thread, pedroskii! I'm not sure I completely understand what you are trying to do, but here's my .02 cents anyway-lol. By 2 plant split system, do you mean dividing your box, sealing the light, and doing one plant in veg and one in flower? Otherwise you cant run veg and flower at the same time, but I'm pretty sure u know that-LOL. It just depends on the size of your stealth box how big you want your plants to be when you start the flower cycle. It takes less time to veg than it does to flower, so start ur first plant on 18/6 right away to get it growing, then a week or two after you switch to flower on that plant u can start ur second one on veg. If u want a whoppin big second one, start it in veg the same time you flower the other one. The best way to get 'sperimental plants for a grow is just to use some bagseed. After all, weed is weed, and diff strains prefer diff nutes, but anything works to practice on. You will have to find the right nutes and stuff for each certain strain as you try to grow. If you are interested, I know a site that sells beans pretty cheap, so that if you screw them up you wouldn't be out much, but they'll still give you something worth having. Those are my thoughts for now (they come in spurts) let me know if I misunderstood you and am way off track. Good Luck!
 
ok so lets say someone decides to not soak their seeds and instead inserts them into remoistened rapid rooter. about a week goes by and there is no visible growth. upon disection of the plugs he find that the root has begun to grow in spirals and looks tangled and confused. what is the best course of action for this problem. they look healthy and alive and were transplanted into fresh fox farm. wondering if anything will happen. please let me know thank u.

As far as I know, as long as ur roots are white and healthy, then u have nothing to worry about. I have seen hydro systems with plants that look like someone braided the roots together. They should grow fine as long as the roots are strong.

I dont think it really matters what is on the floor, and flat white is the next best thing to mylar, so you should be golden.
