My plants consistently take 9oz per day in a 5 gallon nursery pot (really 4 gallons). I water 18oz every other day. miss one day and they get VERY droopy. More than 18oz at a time and the excess runs out.

Okay, I'll lay out my mistakes 1) I underestimated how fast a plant will fill up a nusery pot with roots. A 9oz cup takes under 2 weeks, transplant to 1 gallon and it fills that pot in two more weeks. 2) For my first time grow, I was scared of too much nutes. In retrospect, I think I have...

I had a bag full of 5 year-old seeds and *none* of them sprouted ( 0.0% ). I'm guessing the health of the seed and the storage make all the difference Good luck!

I see what other people say. Here is my experience: I started seedlings in 9oz paper cups with MG soil. No other nutes , everything grew fine. About two weeks later, roots had filled cup and I transplanted to a larger pot with no nutes so that I could control for the rest of the time. MG soil...

Since this thread has been resurrected... I have PM on a few crepe myrtle outside my home. Is it the same PM, and do I need to worry about it making its way into my grow room?

yep. 2 600w lights will cover 24 plants in 5 gallon (soil) containers very well. Figure you have about 1200/50 = 24sq ft, where 50w/sq ft is the desired goal. Some would go as low as 40w/sq ft, and that would give you a few more. A "5 gallon nursery pot" is really about 4 real gallons, and...

This is what I ultimately did. In fact, I transplanted to 1 gallon in two weeks, and then to 5 gallon at 5 weeks (I should have done this at 4 weeks). Both transplants, roots had grown out and around the edge and could have been done much sooner (like 1.5 weeks and 3.5 weeks).

What he said. In three weeks, you will have about 1/2 to 1 gallon worth of roots.

Texas receives about 95 cents in federal spending for every dollar they pay in. They deserve to get back everything they can. While one might disagree with and protest the process, we still live in a real world where we can't afford to give the federal government everything and take nothing in...

What he said. I am not an electrician, but I have a very good understanding of electricity, and I sought out and studied applicable sections of the electrical code to make sure that i did it right. I have run subpanels from the man panel, installed breakers, wired basements and attics. All...

Here is my 2 cents: Things that make a good filter: * the weight and shape of carbon * the thickness that the air has to go through * the speed of the air through the carbon * that carbon is well contained and sufficiently packed You look at something like a CAN33 and it has about 16 or 17...

Lights On.

According to the first post, you germed these before 7/21. This is my first grow. I germed some bagseed and planted on 7/29. My plants are a week younger, and a week ago they looked like your plants do now. So your plants are about two weeks growth behind mine for the same period of grow...

Well, OP, that is my hope. I started 26 from bagseed. I did UB's topping two nights ago and planted the cuttings. We'll see. I kind of think mine weren't long enough. I let them get to (barely) 5 nodes. I am hoping that at least a few females will take so that when I know the sex I can...

I call them "runts". I had about 5 in my bagseed grow. I helped them out, and 4 out of 5 have taken off. they are about 12 days worth of growth behind their germ-mates, but I suspect that they will produce something in the end.

I have a single room that I am dividing similar to your setup. I am using 1000w mh ->hps on the 5x5 area, and 600w MH and a pair of 2x48 CFL in the 3x3 area. The idea is to keep vegging and flower areas full using 8week veg/8week flower cycles through three harvests (32 weeks total). Start...

Hey, just wanted to say thanks. I'll give one of those a try

I just transplanted a whole bunch of two week old plants that size..some a little bigger and some a little smaller, and ALL of them had filled a 9oz cup with roots. It is ready to transplant when it fills its container with roots. At the same time, I moved from fluorescent lighting to 600w...

Okay guys. I am paranoid as H***. I am thinking about dropping $30ish in the mail to JohnDoeSeeds (Nirvana). If it comes, great. If it doesn't... it doesn't break me. I am on my first grow with bag seed. These will be for my second grow. Anyway, which of the John Doe Seed strains would...

This looks like a 12" diameter pot that is 10.25 deep. simple math tells me that this is a 5 gallon pot ( 6x6x3.14159x10.25 / 231) either way, its is a good deal.
