Whats up SmokeAlot. Welcome to the forum. First let me ask you do you have any drainage holes in your pop containers, and are they the clear containers? If you don't have any drainage holes you need to put some in there, and if the containers are clear you need to cover them up with tape or something because roots hate light. When you say you are using regular dirt do you mean dirt from outside? If so pest can be transfered from outside to inside very easy so you have to be careful. Your plant shouldn't be drooping over as you are describing that is not normal. Any pics would be a great help.
 
hey thatnks for the only reply!! i guess these people dont like newbies or to answer there questions or comments. i just thought it was diffrent here,anyways TBG, yes i do have drainage holes and unforntainly it is soil from the outside, when i transplant in like a week or two im goin to have regular pottin soil with no nutes then add my own neuts with waterings, can you recommend a good nute for vegging into flowering,as for the plant it was dropin over that day but poped right up over night so its standing stright up nice n tall today (3 day) the other one died that had germed didnt even come up past the dirt i think all this stress is from the transplant, i had the seeds germin in a cut down plastic milk container, then week later nothing germed so i dug up the 3 seeds 2 germed so thats when i put it into the pop bottle,yes clear but with tape around it to black it out,, funny thing, i woke up this morning there was a second plant growin , when i dug up my seeds and found the two germed ones, one that wasnt germed must have gotten into my soil and has sprouted over night so it was a nice suprise today, ill have to transplant them both when i get my pottin soil in like a week, i also have a question about my fan, seems like it cools the box off alot and i let it run a few hours then shut it off not lettin it run allday n nite, is this bad, i mean im only usin floros so the box anit that heated up but the fan deff cools it and puts a nice breez in there, is this bad??i dont know exact temps dont have a therm.. ill be takin pics rell soon please and comments or help is much neeeded here!! thnaks for replyin meansalot i didnt think i was gettin any, hopefully i will this time around
 
Whats up SmokeAlot. It's been real busy over here the past few weeks and it's hard for the few people here to get to every post right away. I'm very sorry for this. As far as nutes go i use Fox Farm. You should also try and keep your fan running. Not only does this provide your plants with proper circulation but also helps strengthen your plants stems.
 
Hey Smokealot, these guys will get to you trust me...sometimes it might take a day or just shoot them a PM if you want to be first in line. There are only 4 "mods" that I'm aware of so... patience grasshopper ;) PS: this site IS different especially if you don't come in "swinging". :cool: Peace

omg i hope our site dont start acting like over grow . hell i couldnt even get in last night. but i do know 1 thing we ussually dont butt in to other peoples threads. no what i mean . ok i got that off my chest. hey mr smokes alot try planting your seeds on there sides next time if they land on there heads they tend to sprout down or out to the side causing your problem in the beggining .
 
About the Fox Farm "Grow Big" I would have to say to add it on it's thrid week. I used it on it's 2 nd week and paid the price...death of my little one. I would use 1\4 of the recomended use and start from there. Good luck man, just thought I'd bring it up I wouldn't want any of you females to die.
