My First Attempt (help, suggestions much appreciated!) (pics)

[markj]

could u tell me how u wired the computer fan wit the phone charger?
i stick the tip of my pinky into the soil about 2 in and if its dry then i water it til a littl bit of water comes out the bottom and i will por a lil bit and let it drain through and if it dont come outt the bottom i pour a lil bit more.
ur plant looks really good just keep wat ur doing.
heres my plant at 2 weeks

Computer fan and phone charger wiring!

I took the old phone charger. I cut the edge and separated the wires. There should be one red and one black. Did the same thing with computer fan. Cut the edge, and separate the wires. If there are three wires just don't care at all about the yellow one. Then connect the red wire from the charger with the red from the fan. The same with the black ones. Just twist them with your fingers. Then put some tape around the new connections and you're done!!! Plug it in and let it work!!!

Nice 2 week plant you got there. Keep it up...
I'll post some new pics of mine later today or tomorrow!!

Cheers...

Hey, thats not a bug unless u have catapillars crawling around your house!!! but I doubt that lol. Looks like physical damage 2 me and NOTHING to worrie at all about..

thanks again for your input JLStiffy!!
Everything's going great so there's no more worrying for the time being.
I also got another 275W cfl, so there are two of them now. I'm also planning on buying some mylar reflector sheeting, for the inside of my box. Now they're just covered with white paper.

My only worry now is the soil. As you can see from the pics, I have a big pot, but I did the stupid thing when I transplanted the plant, and I didn't fill the pot up to the top. So, now I'm actually not using one third of the pot.
Does adding soil on top, has a point or not? I guess not...
Anyway, I'll see what I'll do about this later on. Any suggestions of course will be great and appreciated!!

That's all for now. Here are some new pics!!

Cheers...

Glad the lights are helping out a lot more hehe.
Kinda points adding soil ontop unless its tohelp the steam be more stable.. Good idea buying the reflective wrap, but I only know were it cost 90 bucks for enough reflective wrap to cover you bedroom 5xs, otherwise try a high gloss white paint, but good idea for paper!! plant looks good

DUDE!! Trust me, adding soil on the top will create more roots! The new stem area that is covered by the additional soil will eventually start to sprout roots, resulting in a stronger and more stable plant base. go for it

PS - I like what you said to that guy who was all "blah, fuck you, i hate people who help me," that's why I'm in your journal actually haha. Good luck dude.

freshly planted clones don't need nutes for a month and seeds I'd say for a month to and when trans planting I don't feed my girls for 2 weeks and would recomend 20-20-20 for veg

Hey man! Thank you for stopping by!! I'm going to add soil till the top of the pot before next watering. Of course I'd prefer to have filled up the pot when I transplanted the plant, but since I didn't back then, I don't want to transplant again! So, soil on top. After all, it can't do any bad.

PS - Read this other thread from the first till the last page, and couldn't believe my eyes. I just had to say something to the guy...

thanks for the advice FrostickZero. I didn't know that when I started, and I fed a 1 1/2 week old plant and I immediately saw that it was no good!! I'm gonna wait at least a week more and then I'll start feeding. I have two nutes at the moment. One 12-4-8 and one 12-12-12 &2%mg. I can also see some purple in the stems, and from what I read in the forum this could be because of the lack of phosphorus, so I'll try to find something like 20-20-20 as well.

20 - 20 - 20 works for me too for veg.

20 - 20 - 20 works for me too for veg.

thanx cheetah. I'm going out later today and I'm gonna buy one of those and start with 1/4 of the suggested ratio.

Cheers...

PS - Of course there gonna be updates and new pics to see how it's going...

20 - 20 - 20 works for me too for veg.

it seems to work awsome for me because I use 20-20-20 for veg and if my girls are has alot of leafs I wate till I have to feed them and I leaf them before i feed so that they get every thing but I do leave the top leafs to help out

Welcome to rollitup.org!
Nice first post....
????????????

Went to my local growshop earlier and I got the nutes you can see in the pic. The guy at the shop suggested that I bought those! Hope that they'll do a good job. He also suggested another one, from Biobizz as well, called "Root Juice". I didn't get that today but I'm thinking if I should get that too.

So, tomorrow i'll feed with the Bio-Heaven.

I have a question though: When I want to use both Bio-Heaven and Bio-Grow and they each say at the label 2ml/l, should I use in one liter of water 2ml of each or 2ml total (1ml of each)???

Cheers everybody......

 

[JLStiffy]

If the bottle says 2ML/L then u gotta put 2ML in for every L of water. So if you are going to mix a 5gallon bucket up, (say-20L) (everyone argues what a gallon really is in L) then u put 40ML of feed in.

what I'm asking is if I want to use both of the nutes. Bio-Heaven and Bio-Grow. I have 1L of water. Should I put 2ml of Bio-Heaven and 2ml of Bio-Grow, or 1ml of Bio-Heaven and 1ml of Bio-Grow???

Cheers....

hey guys!! loving the plant... im learning a lot from this post, i am new to growing as well..... my first plant is huge as fuck right now... maybe over 3 months but i think i may just trash it and start over cause it was not a good type of weed to start with...

thank you caddypimpin!
if it really wasn't a good type of weed, I'd agree with you and start from scratch with a few good seeds. hope for the best, and let us know how it's going. And of course there are plenty of guys here who will help you grow a healthy plant! When I started about a month ago I didn't know shit about growing. But with their help, my first plant is going great till now and I'm really looking forward to some good bud!

Cheers...

PS - I'm still waiting for a reply about my last question bout the nutes! If anyone knows, please help..... thanx

 

[caddypimpin]

ya the plant has just grown up tall and is really all leaf.... there are tons of off shoots that look like plants of their own.... but as of now it is starting to wilt bad... its sad that i put 3 months into it and dont get shit outta it... but im just messing with it now and just cut the top off... hope that will make it work on the lower wilted leaves and maybe bud????? i dunno

 

[caddypimpin]

Markj-- what kind o weed is that?

Markj-- what kind o weed is that?

it's from a good smoke I had lately. I enjoyed it and it had some seeds in the buds, so I decided to give it a try!!!
