The Ghetto-est Grow Ever

[Frank Nitty]

Oh I will! This is how I do it

Yeah yeah yeah that's what I'm talking about

 

[Frank Nitty]

I’m actually going to stop doing it so low though. I find watering becomes a massive pain in the ass.

Why???

 

[Brettman]

Well I’ve been using 2.5 - 3 gallon pots so they end up needing water every other day. And the last few rounds I’ve done it so low I could hardly get my watering jug in there lol

Here’s one that I just finished, i mainlined it like 2 inches above the soil lol

I work 60 hours a week and I got 3 kids age 4 & under, I don’t got much time to fuck around down there!! Lmao

Yeah I see what you mean!!!

Alright so the dunks are working as far as I can tell. There’s still a few flyers here and there but that’s it. No swarm anymore. Going to keep using the dunks indefinitely just in case.

Day 40
Still a little droopy and slow growing from overwatering, but at least the gnat problem is looking better. Going to flip to 12-12 tomorrow.

Day 45 (5 days from flip)

Still droopy! I gave it a half mix of veg nutes because it was looking a little pale. Hopefully that we’ll help it through the stretch. I’m going to keep tying it down and hopefully end up with a half decent canopy

Day 48 ( 8 days from flip)

First pistils today.

Are you still using the house bulb I see some purple light I just been using cree cobs that are high bay garage lights n they work awesome so far about to flip to flower soon I wanted to get a good yeild so I LST some

 

[chuckie86]

Not best setup but these lights worked better then the DIY citizen chips I built few years back

 

[Brettman]

Hey Chuck, I’ve got a 200w 3500k+red and a 180w blurple. I’ve also got the strip of house bulbs for an additional 90watts. I turn lights on and off depending on what I got in there lol. I just pulled a plant and am trimming right now so I turned the blurple off.

 

[Brettman]

It’s a 2x4 cabinet I made, so at full 470w I have about 58w per sq/ft

Day 50 (10 from flip)

Still not looking that great, pot is very light but I’m going to wait until tomorrow just in case it is from overwatering. I also moved it from 10” to 14” from the light.

 

[Brettman]

Ok so I still haven’t watered it yet, it’s very dry but not wilting yet. I lowered it again to 18” under the light. Manufacturer says 18-36” for veg and 12-18” for flower. Temp is 26c and humidity is steady around 40%. I don’t know what the hell is going on. If anyone is reading could I get some ideas on why it’s drooping so bad ?

Lol, this is what mine look like now, I think I manifolded and LST to early or to low to the medium

 

[Dewin420]

Definitely stupid lol, my wife doesn’t want me to have more then four plants at a time as well so that made my decision pretty easy haha

My wife is the same.lol. but i just keep cloning more and more to the point of overflow.lol

Thats what i fear the most is overwatering. Hard to bring them back versus underwatering. Had root rot a few times from too much love when i first started growing a few years ago. Now i wait til they show they need water. Works well if in a pot bigger than 3 gallons but not very well with pots smaller as it seems to be less forgiving with the smaller pots for some reason. Could try and transplant her into some new dirt that isnt that wet and knock some of the really wet stuff off if she doesnt perk up sooner than later. I have had success with that. I recommend Jakes all in one as it pretty much works on every pest it seems. Its made her on vancouver island. Just becareful not to over saturated your plants and do it when the lights go out. I spray once as soon as they go into flower to prevent any kind of problems from pests as my grow is in my dirty old shed.lol. so bugs are inevitable it seems. Here are some pics od my tents

Man my wife would kill me! lol, And thanks for the tip but I definitely won’t be changing pots or soil.

Day 55 (15 from flip)

New growth is starting to look better. Not sure what stunted it so bad but I’m pretty bummed out. Literally no stretch at all... ah well maybe I’ll still end up with a couple ounces.
