Pooh's CFL Grow - First Grow! Soil - Bag Seed - Welcome Friends!

Re: Pooh's CFL grow, First grow! Soil, Bagseed, Welcome friends!

oh shit i remembered where i was going with that story about when i walked in, my buddy had texted her tellin her about the weed he just gave me, so she wanted some bad cause she loves strawberry kush, and it has it in it, so she chiefed like 4 bowls before i even got a hit but thats all good i got some more to smoke tonight :) it tastes like berries and like hahaha dude yea like froot loops!
 
Re: Pooh's CFL grow, First grow! Soil, Bagseed, Welcome friends!

If you put a;ll those plants in one pot..at least put deviders in the pot so the plant roots won't mix...one more thing...that pot is going to become root bound pretty quick..you will know when the plants start drooping and the leaves start to die...about those plants destined to become hermies...hermies are made not born..
 
Re: Pooh's CFL grow, First grow! Soil, Bagseed, Welcome friends!

i dont think i can make good enough deviders bro, the roots will make way around them. if they get rootbound also, i guess i would be forced to find a bigger container. growing more than one plant with the little equipment i got just seems more and more like a bad idea, and even if these plants arent hermie yet, any female will be probably, cause i know ill stress them out with bein in one pot, the LST, fucked up lighting, idk im not feelin to positive today mybad lemme get a couple bowls in me and ill post pics and see if anything cool happened while i was enjoying my slumber
 
Re: Pooh's CFL grow, First grow! Soil, Bagseed, Welcome friends!

ok dudes im just waiting on you now for this,
two of the three plants have nodes i guess they are called, where two tiny leaves are on the stalk where every leaf comes out, but one does not even though it is developed atleast just as much, as it was the second one to pop out of the seed, anyway is not having those nodes yet an early sex trait? maybe males are like that? cause my male plant last time did that! i wont give up on it yet if thats not a confirmed trait, but if it is a suspected trait i will put it in a different pot (gallon for now) that way less worry about my other plants, anyway, i am going to transplant them as soon as i get input on this, they are lookin happy but the roots are showing they are in need of some relocating. thanks for the help people! :D

If you grow those plants in one pot you might kill them if you try to separate them
 
Re: Pooh's CFL grow, First grow! Soil, Bagseed, Welcome friends!

i wont be trying to seperate them tho man, if i gotta pull a plant ill just chop its roots around the base of the stock and pull it out, if they need to be moved to a diff pot ill just get a bigger pot for both together
 
Re: Pooh's CFL grow, First grow! Soil, Bagseed, Welcome friends!

idk what im even doin right now its like seven in the morning and im still up from last night and im too high to go to sleep. took some pics of the little ones, they look pretty happy in their new places with all that light smacking them in the face.
One has some darkness and curling on the leaves. Im not too worried about it cause theres really nothing i could do if its a deficiency anyway. Ummm anything else lets see.... nope. gonna get some reflection stuff to try and set up a nice reflective perimiter or something, but it might be like next week or the week after. Also, this thursday would make two weeks of veg, so im thinking, maybe at 4-5 weeks ill throw these into flowering and see what i get, maybe earlier, but oh yea i need to know alittle bit about LST, i dont want someone to go out of their way to explain it to me, just give me a link if you want. Ill look into it myself here soon i just been occupied.
oh yea the pics cool here let me get these bitches uploaded
ok just got a taste of a resin ball, maybe i need to clean my pipe now haha
alright so heres the pics

heres the one with the darkening and curling,

when would be the best times to throw in some extra carbon dioxide? i can set up a couple yeast and sugar jugs, but not all the time cause it yeast is, believe it or not, expensive to keep up those co2 jugs goin, and i hate the whiskey slash drunk puke smell it gives off when it starts to lose its umph.
 
Re: Pooh's CFL grow, First grow! Soil, Bagseed, Welcome friends!

my posts arent very organized, mybad, and shit i need alot of stuff, i dont even have a constant ventilation system, all i do is throw my 20 inch fan indirectly to them for as long as im not in my room wanting the fan lol
 
Re: Pooh's CFL grow, First grow! Soil, Bagseed, Welcome friends!

Transplant seemed to of went well. You should look into getting a small HPS. You can get a 150w or 250w from htgsupply from $65-$100. You will be astonished by the change in rate of growth and you can use them for veg and flower. Also, small HPS's dont pump out too much heat so you would not need to cool them all that much. But other than that, looking good!
 
Re: Pooh's CFL grow, First grow! Soil, Bagseed, Welcome friends!

thanks bro, i wish i had money haha, i think for this grow itll be CFLs but maybe hopefully ill hit it with a 250 hps and still use these CFLs just for added light till they burn out haha i wish i could come up with 2 hundo man just 200 bucks i could have a thousand watt balast, a hps bulb, a mh bulb, exhaust fan and a couple iscolating fans plus some other shit that i forgot what he said but yea man fuckin sucks! all i can hope is no one buys it off him before i get up the two hundo,
 
Re: Pooh's CFL grow, First grow! Soil, Bagseed, Welcome friends!

Hey whats up PBM. Sorry I haven't been around lots of stuff going on and have been preoccupied. I caught up with your journal again and I Will try to give you some info on everything you asked.

LST: If you do not plan on topping or Fimming your plant and just plan on LSTing you will end up with a singly top cola with mini ones that stretch from the stalk. what you will wanna do is have a tie down point at the base of your stalk that will be opposite of which direction you will be pulling it down in. Let a few more nodes come in before doing this. make sure to use a material that wont cut into your plant you dont wanna pull too hard and a piece of your girl is cut off. with soft string or plant ties you will tie a piece between nodes on the stalk and pull it down towards the edge of the pot. Its quite simple actually. The plant will right itself as new nodes grow in. If you look at my plants you will see multiple bends in both of my remaining girls. #2 of mine pretty much is twisted like a spiral slide.

Here is a diagram of LSTing:

As for buying a HPS, Honestly it isn't necessary. You can end up with great results with a low budget CFL grow. Yes, HID lamps will yeild better results but that doesnt mean CFLs are worthless. Look at SuKaFr33's journals and he is a CFL grower. His girls are ace!
Hell, my stealth cab(Whenever i decide to invest in it) for my future mothers will be run strictly on CFL lighting.

Don't Discourage yourself. It is easy to give up when problems start to show themselves but thats when innovation happens. If you don't have nutrients and nutrient deficiencies show themselves, you find a way to get them what they need. Mag problems can been solved by epsom salt. you can find ways around it. Don't give up hope.:thumb: You are doing fine with the limited resources you have.:goodjob:
 
Re: Pooh's CFL grow, First grow! Soil, Bagseed, Welcome friends!

thanks for the info man im really happy now, a question, should i wait till im maybe a week away from flowering before i LST? maybe thats too long, anyway im going to LST the two plants in the bigges pot, and here soon ill be choppin the top off the one in the single pot. and then besides pruning later on, thats all im going to do to that plant. also about my CFLs, what you see is what i got so i dont know how effective they will be till i find the money tonget a couple reflectors or something
 
Re: Pooh's CFL grow, First grow! Soil, Bagseed, Welcome friends!

oh shit i just took a more in depth look at that diagram so ok i see maybe sometime next week ill start the LST or towards the end of this week, whenever its got some stability and new growth
 
Re: Pooh's CFL grow, First grow! Soil, Bagseed, Welcome friends!

once you get some nice stalk development you should be fine to LST. I started LSTing my plants about 2-3 weeds before 12/12

It really depends on what you wanna do and how low you wanna keep it
 
Re: Pooh's CFL grow, First grow! Soil, Bagseed, Welcome friends!

I was looking at your lights in the pics, you need a reflector to get all the light you can from those cfls. Sprout looks good, nice dark green. Begin the lst when the plant is about 15" tall, you got a while.:thumb:
 
Re: Pooh's CFL grow, First grow! Soil, Bagseed, Welcome friends!

thats about when ill be goin to bloom, i wanna wait as long as i can but using CFLs im worried about light getting to the lower parts of the plants
 
Re: Pooh's CFL grow, First grow! Soil, Bagseed, Welcome friends!

OK! heres some pics! :) Im happy with my favorite little plants growth! And the plant that i said i would top, i topped! so we shall see how it works for me.
