What to do? Small grow area

i figure clean new soil is going to be better than 3+ month old soil, especially thats been rained heavily on.

I repotted...quite difficult with the root system/pot and everything..think i might of ripped some roots, but we can only hope that she recovers well.

I also stopped LST for now, as i had to cut all strings attached in order to repot..going to see if i can get it going back straight up, i figured that is a different type of LST, as it is still fighting to bend back towards the light.

Just waiting and hoping my little runt survives, I need to clone ya damnit!

id have to agree with you nnthsttrls..im just paranoid/afraid to LST as i got no other seeds or plants....think i should chance it?

LST is not a chance...if you bend any plant it will grow straight up towards the light...when you bend a plant over sideways the side branches become top branches, and the plant treats them as such...the stems get thicker, you get more branches, tops and leaves, and there is very little stress to the plant..you can't really get it wrong...if you bend it, it will try to straighten...we just use this to our advantage. I don't even tie mine down most of the time...I just bend them over once a day in whatever direction...not enough to crease the stem, but I just like slowly stretch whatever branch I want to go wherever I want it..and they do just what I want them to...so nobody should be afraid to try LST...Sometimes I will take a seedling in it's solo cup and lay it on it's side..and then when the plant is shaped like a boomerang I turn the cup to the other side...so the plant bends back that way...during the time I am bending the cup the only thing really growing is the roots, and the main stalk...it gets really thick from having to bend this way and that way...so when I turn plant the twisted plant into a bigger pot it instantly shoots up because it is like it has been waiting for this chance...lol. And then I start bending stuff down...the more you move branches and make them go in weird directions the fatter they get...and the fatter they get the more your plant grows, because of it's greater ability to uptake fluids and nuitrients. So always LST even if it is just from one side to the other, to the other to the other...turn and resituate the pot from time to time...so the plant has to grow better to accomodate you and what you want it to do...

don't mean to be a dick, but that was weeks ago if not a month, have already LST'd plenty on this shitty little runt

...this thing has gotta be the funniest lookin pot plant i've seen hahah, hopefully get some weight on it, ill post a couple pictures of it tonight.

heres the shitty little runt lol...week 5 of flowering, not that it matters. all about the clones really

There are a ton of very impressive small grows on here.just look around in the micro forums man.blows my mind what ppl are doing in computer cases & speaker boxes.

haha yea i know, i fucked it up when it was young / used uber shitty soil and had only 50 watts on it for most of its life. things are better now - but its only gonna show so much when far into flower, but ye i'm aware of most of my short comings and how awesome some of these other boxes are. Next grow should be pretty good, this plant is pure jokes and just growing while i wait for my next ones

gonna try cloning in flower, doubting my odds without rooting gel and such small leaves....everywhere says you need 4 inch stems or more..mine are like one lol..just wanna get my next plant started already so i dont have to deal with this piece of shit

not an easy cloning project from what i can see
you could try to get it to do some more vegging, just shift the light schedule back to 18/6, but that's a good 2 weeks usually to get a response, but it would improve your chances of getting cloneable branches

got some bag seed from a buddy of mine. about 30 seeds, 10-15 look pretty good..so we'll see. ill probably germ it in a couple days here. what germing technique, light sched, and wattage/distance from plant would you think. I usually go with two plates with them inbetween 2 damp paper towels, low wattage 26w? 6500k, pretty far distance and im thinking 24/7

paper towels works well, i use it and the seed in a cap of water, both work well
i use 26w cfl's, they're excellent, doing a reveg with them now
with cfl's, closer is better, the trick is to keep them close without burning

just 1 26 w cfl for seed/seedling? i heard for seeds its better to have them a bit farther away, but this isnt the case with cfls?

what you think of my hilarious girl in flower? hopefully vegging with the right spectrum will help this time round hahah

it is an interesting plant, but it's experience so there is value
a single 26w will work for a little while, i use 3 26w cfl's to get a zip for a harvest(or better occasionally)
a few inches is fine for a seedling, i do it and they take to it fine

yeah, im hoping to use 3 26's for veg and 2 40 and a 23 for flower

So i got my seeds today, haven't really looked at em yet, looked like he handled them pretty rough.
But anyways, going to start prepping for my next grow tomorrow, probably gonna need some help/suggestions. Found some interesting miracle grow nutrients that you can add - ill post some pictures tomorrow of some stuff
mainly focussed on my soil + nutes, other than that if i have a good seed i think i can blow the last one waay outta the park..or else im nooot cut out for this hahah

-So I started germinating much more seeds than I intend on wanting/working, as im not sure about these seeds, gonna just chop down the runt whenever vegging is ready to begin.
-The soil seems pretty peat mossy and doesnt have any perlite or anything of the sort. It gets decently compact after a good water and for a decent time after that, so again, unsure. All I know is it can't be worse than my last plants soil.
-Found some of this Miracle Grow shake+feed, not sure if its any good for MJ, it's pretty damn high in its nutrients - was thinking probably too high.
-This time around instead of a spectrum of 1 23 watt 2700k + 1 23 watt 4100k + 1 13 watt 3000k.....it will be 3 26 watt 6500k..as it should be lol. 2 x 40w 2700k + 1 13w 2700k for flower.
-Deffinetly going to use mollasses and probably other organic teas, have yet to try out this dandelion one..still fermenting...apparently good in all nutes.

Here's some pictures: one of the soil and 2 of the MG

Can i use this MG? if so just mix a small amount in with the soil? add anything in-perticular to the soil to make it not so clumpy?

MG fertilizer should be fine, but don't use it during sprouting, that will likely burn any sprout, give a week then start very slowly

alright thanks. That is if she sprouts..
time to wait i suppose

what would you say about phasing out the mg? when to stop putting it in? do you need to continually feed with this slow releasing stuff?
