MrStoner's First Grow

[MeNtAlPaTiEnT]

Any new updates, man? Those clones growing?

I would recommend that you get that foil out of there. There is nothing good about having foil in your grow room. It is stealing your light. Foil is a very bad reflector and can cause hot spots. If you cannot afford mylar or panda film, flat white paint is far superior to foil.

Interesting intersting. they still look a wee bit droopy. have you tried lowering the amount of times you water?! i dont think that over watering is really allll that bad... i know that when i switched my room yesterday i left them in water during the duration (last time i left em out of water for 3 hours or so all the roots coming out the bottom of my net pot died) to prevent them from dieing. they did get a little droopy. i suspended watering for eight hours and they perked right back up!

Tanks for the advice. I know what I have been doing wrong. The soil that I am using is Miracle Gro. I know I know. Not too many people use it. But I thought I would give it a shot. It feeds plants for up to 3 months. Then I was giving Bloom Boost from Miracle Gro every week. Mixing 1/2 teaspoon with 1/2 gallon of water. The plants started to droop like the next day. obviously too much nutes for the plants. So - I have stopped with the bloom boost and I am just using water. And they look alot better. Now as for my clones. Just perfection. As you can see in the pics. I was going to use cfl's for the cloning area but today I bought a 4' floro. Just a regular shop light with two t-12 bulbs. I have a 6" fan blowing on them that is connected with the timer for the light. The clones are 18 days old. I planted them on May 5th and transplanted into 6 1/2 inch pots on the 21st. My big plants that you see in the pic are on day 54 of veg. The smaller ones are about a week or 2 younger. Let me know what you guys think and I have got rid of the foil.

Excellent looking garden! Woooh!

 

[420MrStoner420]

Thanks MP. The plants are so much healthier lookin now. I hope the floro i bought today is enough for the clones.

 

[420MrStoner420]

I want to put my tall clones on 12/12 to sex them. How old and tall should they be. Today they are about 20 days old and 8 inces tall.

 

[MeNtAlPaTiEnT]

You can flower once they have root mass. You should be good to go!

 

[420MrStoner420]

Thanks MP. I will have to start that somewhere. Kind of running out of room.

 

[MeNtAlPaTiEnT]

I'd just build a new box. Good work so far.

 

[420MrStoner420]

I got my flowering area all ready for the clones and started on 12/12. I hope that they are females or all this is for education. Will post pics tonight when i come back from the Indians game.

 

[MamaGreen]

educations not a bad thing,man
crossing my fingers that you get at least a few ladies for your efforts!
good luck!

 

[Tater]

hey man here's some green mojo, hope you get some ladies man! I like the coat hanger light thingy's lol, stoner ingenuity is the best haha.

 

[420MrStoner420]

Well the Indians game is sold out - so I will post some pics. Yeah the hangers were the easist way for me to put the lights exactly where I want them. No limits - LOL

 

[420MrStoner420]

I gave the plants a haircut. Didn't cut any clones just took off some of the big fan leaves that were dried out and dying. Her are some new pics.

 

[MeNtAlPaTiEnT]

Lookin' good. They are nice and healthy. Appears you have a great growing environment!

 

[420MrStoner420]

Thanks MP. I also took 1 of my clones and planted it outside in the woods. Just for shitz and giggles. Lulz.

 

[smokybear]
