Ok guys, i told you id hook up some pics, so here they are. I also took pics of my makeshift setup and lighting(which is shitty once again, but its working,lol). Once again, i have 3 plants growing, one is really taking off, and the other two are still on the smaller side, and i recently topped the smaller ones, while keeping the big girl untouched. Tell me what you think - n dont hesitate to tell me that my setup is jack shit either ;) --o, n another sidenote, there is a lightfixture on the ceiling in my enclosure, and since i didnt have another lamp to stick my other cfl into, i just screwed it into the ceiling fixture, lol.


N sorry the pics are so big, i cant shrink them bitches down for some reason, and the resolution on my cam sucks so i need to go grab a new one sometime in the near future. im 5 weeks into my grow and im trying to do it naturally, other than the MG soil im using, so any advise would be much appreciated :)

Like i said, this is my first ever grow. So do i need something other than just changing the lighting schedule?? i have them on 20/4 right now, and to be honest, i dont even know when im gonna switch them to 12/12, but i dont want them to get too big. I can kinda tell that the big gurl isnt gonna get too tall, seems to me that its on the indica side of things, and indicas stay on the smaller, more bushy side right?? suggestions would be awesome.

lol thanks. Cardboard, tinfoil, tape, and a bunch of cfls i had chillin in my garage. I actually spent complete dick on this setup, besides the money i shelled out for the skunky ass middies that gave me the seeds for the grow. Im actually using three different types of bagseed. The two smaller plants that i topped yesterday are still some pretty stoney mids cuz i dont smoke shwag, but i cant remember when or where i got them from. But the big gurl is from a bag of some neon fuckin green i had like two months ago. Was i right about this plant being indica btw??

O yeah, also, at the base of each node there are two bright green prongs - are those pistils, or is it still too early to tell if my plant is a gurl or not??

i can't really tell how much height you have to work with there, but you are going to need much more light to flower.

i measured and its roughly 3 feet by 3 feet. I thought originally it was alot smaller than that. So im gonna need to get me some more of the cfl blue lamps like the one big one i have there. Do you know how much they run now? cuz when i originally bought it, it was a couple years back and i cant remember for the life of me.

Do u think 3 feet is enough? if i absolutely have to, i have a full closet i could use, but im trying to protect my plants from grabby fuckin hands belonging to people that like to touch shit that dont fuckin belong to them, lol.

i actually got that covered. I got a few big screw hooks that im gonna drill into the ceiling tomorrow i think, n then im gonna just link a small chain to each hook, n then hook the chain to both lamps so i can adjust height as they get bigger. Should i go out and get a couple more lamps?? i need to go to DIY anyways n get a smaller fuckin fan cuz the osalating one i have now is fuckin huge and takes up too much space. So a smaller fan, and probably another two lamps, all chained in a row hanging from the ceiling would set me up pretty nice?? n as far as LST goes for my plants, do you think its too late for me to start tieing down my big plant?? i dont wanna break the stem or risk killin her....

you said you wanted to do this all natural, so i'm assuming that means without additional nutrients..

so, when you transplant, you are going to want to buy/make a much better soil mix than mg.

if you can get to a hydro shop or buy online then i'd go for something like;
GroWell > Bio Bizz All-Mix Soil
or/
FoxFarm Soil & Fertilizer Company

i can vouch for bio-bizz all mix, and i have seen some awesome results with fox-farms ocean forest.

you can concoct your own mix pretty easily, i've seen some awesome recipes.

how long do u figure i should wait before i transplant?? N when i said all natural i just meant no chemical nutrients, main reason being, im broke as hell n cheap too!! but yeh, i know i defnitley need to transplant before i flower, but how soon before? and i know i need new soil at some point aswell, i think this soils getting pretty spent really quick, so ill keep those names in mind when i visit my local nursery shop. thanks for the brand drop..but if i cant find either of those brands, is there anything in particular i should stay away from when i pick out my new soil - as in, i shouldn't be using MG at all when i transplant??
