Re: 1st time Grower! CFL, small personal closet grow
Hi, mate, @ get your grow on, thats great info mate, i could see a mixture working very well. as long as it was well mixed, it might even improve growth as well, the nutes would be less harsh on the plants and might even be a good combination.
it sure looks like a male mate, keep a very close eye on it over the next few days, it looks male, but i have seen females that grow a bulge like that then the pistils come out of it so give it a few days, you will either see more male sacs or white hairs, have a close look at the very tip of the plant, you should see loads of sacks if its male, if its fem their should be loads of white hairs, but its still a bit early to say.
as for the nutes are you in the usa or somewhere else, im in the UK and was using off the shelf stuff if your not in the usa then id go to a garden center and buy 2 different nutes, one for veg stage and one for flower, both contain what the plants need for each stage of growth i was using an all round nite and it didnt do my plants much good it sort of slowed them down, i was using baby bio which is more suited for the veg stage, but if your in the usa then the best stuff to use is blue planet nutrients, they do a 3 part pack that contains a bottle called grow, another called micro and another called bloom, now i was amazed by the results the bpn products where getting these plants, and i was asking about how id get some in the UK, but it was getting close to $90 for nutes and delivery to me, so i couldnt afford it, but i was so amazed when a grower on here called teSmp offered to chip in and pay for the nutes and delivery, then another member who id been speaking to chipped in as well, so 2 top growers off here paid for my nutes and delivery, even corey who owns bpn done the product at cost price, so all together it cost $70 which tesmp and another member covered, i was so shocked that someone who i had only spoke to online was kind enough to do that for me, any way 2 weeks later they had cleared customs but it had been checked by customs and they charged a fee it was £16, so all together it was £50 if i had to pay out my own pocket, but all i paid was the 16pound, now im so amazed with the results that im saving for the next time i need it, i have got enough to last me 3 full grows with about 6 plants per grow.
so thats how amazing some people are on here, all they told me to do was return the favour to someone i need, so i did a couple of weeks ago a new grower on here who also lived in my country was struggling with the stuff he had, but i had just switched to high presure sodium and he was trying to grow with cfls, so i sent him all my spare cfl bulbs and some mylar and a lighting rig that all he had to do was plug in and i threw in a couple of seeds just to get him up and running, he dont update his journal often and i was concerned at first that he had just taken the items and not bothered with his journal, but he updated it the other day and he has put all i sent him to good use so i feel good that i could do the same and help someone out like someone helped me out, all karma and all that stuff and what goes around comes around.
so im using bpn, they sent me the 3 part plus bloom booster, so i got 4 bottles, grow,micro,bloom,bloom booster, this is what i have been using and the plants really started growing withing 48 hours of feeding with bpn, it really is amazing products, and if your in the usa then its the cheapest you can buy and it leaves all other nutes standing when it comes to rate of growth and yield, the bloke who made the product corey is a top bloke and always willing to help, he has designed the product and made a feeding chart for everyone to follow and everyone who does use it will not use anything else, he only sells online, he dont sell it in shops and its sold by word of mouth, but the product is that good its selling so fast, its like no other product out their, so if your in the usa get over to blue planets nutrients and place an order for the 3 part pack, you dont need to but the bloom booster but ill be buying it next time i place an order, i can get nutes a lot cheaper over here but nothing would compare to this, but if your in the uk then its an expensive business buying bpn products, but im so chuffed with someone paying for it for me and the results are amazing so i will be buying it again and im saving up till i need to get it next, but if your in the UK and like me when i first started i had no spare cash, well i still dont have any, im a single dad with 2 kids aged 5 and 7, my fiancee was killed in car accident by a drunk driver and this is the main reason why im growing, my insomnia is crazy since the accident and i just need a smoke to get through each day, so im really struggling to make ends meet, but im just doing it. so if like me your on a real budget and in the uk, then you can buy some nutes from the pound shop, they have some slow release liquid that you just stick in the pot and it drip feeds for 30 days, the NPK is perfect for the plants and i did try it and it seemed to work and i had no problems, but 9 years ago i used miracle grow liquid feed and fed the plants this in both veg and flower as i was unaware of how to grow, but it got me a 6ft plant and over 6 oz of jack flash, so it worked ok, these plants pretty much grow under anything, having the right stuff increases yield slightly and keeps the plant slightly healthier but using normal nutes would work well, but id go to a garden center if you can and get 2 different feeds, one for veg for when you veg some plants and one for flower, the one for flower is more important as it has less of the N and more of the P and this is what produces the best buds and best yield, make sure what ever you buy can be used on plants that grow fruit and veg as some nutes contain stuff you really dont want to be smoking,.
