Newbie is my plant to skinny?

[dontknowmuch]

Hey Thanks for all the positive vibes and awesome advice, I will get those 42 watters asap. I have been looking at a 250w hps, but I am just not sure where I could hang it . I will need one of thoses stud finders,and there is only a couple places I would want to put it. Also need to figure out where to flower more than one plant with good ventalation. For this one I have just put her in the closet and duck tape around to block any light ( no fan when dark ) I spray her with carbonated water as soon as I take her out.

I don't smoke myself, my wife uses it for medicinal reasons.
I started a new grow in the journal section. wish me luck !

Also I have seen ready set grow and some guy with green face paint on the youtube and I will check out ultimate grow .

Peace

Hey idontsmoke,
is your dresser set up to veg and flower at the same time, and do you have any pics of it I could kinda get an idea?

Thanks

LOL..wow man, that is damn impressive how you salvaged the plant I gotta say. I woulda thrown that plant away..congrads.
Yea Im like laylow also, I was a smoker and I just recently quit and I think Im gonna just stay pot-free. I kinda like the feeling of not smoking. For me anyways, I sleep better at night. Ill probably just garden (very stress relieving) and gather the harvest to give away or something lol.

But once again man, good job~

Well, then almost like me lol. :48:

Day 29 of flowering.

I was wondering when I should knock off the nutes and if and when I should flush her. Also I don't grow in a box so I just lean some cardboard around so the lights dont bother me. I was wondering if I should line them with foil for reflection or is there something better but not to pricey. They sell rolls of mylar for 52 bucks close to me , but that is to much. Can anyone tell what strain this is, I try to take closer pics but they get blurry.

Thanks and Happy Holidays

Also wanted to ask if it would be ok to cut some of the fan leaves off because they are blocking light

Whats up DKM. You usually don't stop feeding nutes until the last 2 weeks of flower. At that time you give your flush. I would just get some flat white paint man. Don't cut off any fan leaves as they are being used by the plant.

Hey Whats up dontknowmuch? For sure white paint is the way to go. Never use foil, white paint will reflect even more than a mirror when it comes to lighting. If you can get poly (panda) It is best, White one side black the other,

 

[dontknowmuch]

ok flat white is is guys. thanks

so you guess I have another 30 days till harvest?

Could be 30 days maybe longer. The trichromes will tell ya when to harvest. Just get ya a Radio Shack microscope and you will be set.

I am still debating wether or not I will be getting 250w hps or just flower with fluros. What would be the advantage of those security get ups? no ballast?

 

[Sin inc]

well they are cheap and the ballast are made in to the fixture. plus you have a small space so the fixture will keep your room nice and cozy. all you will have to do is buy and wire a ext cord and match the colors. oh buy some chains and hooks so you can hang it

Sounds great, but I never mess around with wiring . I have no skill in that area. I got shocked cleaning the stove once
