Im waiting for my pure afghan seeds to arrive in my mail box i ordered from single-seeds.com 4 days ago they sent them 2 days ago anyway can sombody help me out please

This is gonna sound ass but i dunno what else to say:
you will kill your plants with what you have...6 month MG? serious? overwater a few times and you will burn the plant to hell.

Go read grow journals...a lot of them..growing takes time i know you want to have bud already but its gonna be 3 months min, then dry and cure time!

Miracle grow = bad idea
foil = bad idea

you also need a fan to circulate air (you said you have 2 pc fans for cooling the light) the plants should be gently swaying to build strong stems.

I did just write a whole long post on what to do...but go read grow journals.

i real have to make it work with what i got ther is a police station 2 blocks from my house and i have noisey people next house over i already excepted 4 ups packages i think i would be pushing it if i order again i dont have any supply stores around my house well ther is one but i would have to drive about 40 miles whats wrong with foil and can i use the hyponex

it may work if you learn... not gonna yield more than an oz per plant (more likely less) with 150 watts though... MG fert. is BAD... You will fuck ur plants up with that shit better to buy organics.. Check out my closet grow above ^^^^^^

I'm not familiar with the hyponex, but foil creates problem with heat, basically it creates hot spots which will burn ur plants. It reflects more heat than light. You can get mylar at dollar stores, just look for that reflective wrapping paper, I used that on my first grow and it worked out pretty decently.
Also, why are you concerned about accepting too many packages? Are you being watched or something, the police can't use that as evidence to obtain a warrant, they need probably cause. Remember, you have every right to refuse a search if they don't have a warrant.

slight problem im on probation noting big but i dont want to take any chances...... so i cant yield more then a ounce what if i take clones

i would use almost anything over mg, i dont know about hyponex but try it. the MG plant food isnt really good for growing bud, it might do in veg but youll need something with less nitrogen(N) and more potassium(K) and phosphorus(P) for flowering.
concerning yield, cloning wont necessary help, itll just keep your genetics alive. its up to you if you want to grow more small plants or one big one. growing one plant from seed is probably quicker than creating a mother and cloning..
to improve yield u should train ur plant, maybe SCROG

and yeah foil sucks

i dont like your name closetking.... =P

OH GOD.


lmao sorry bud i got a year on ya though

lol fuck there can only be ONE king

If I could suggest anything, it would be to read up on horticulture. Whether it's a grow bible or otherwise. Knowledge is key.

Prot3us is right about the foil. Mylar or flat white paint are better options. The Hyponex soil-less mix, ought to be better than the Miracle Gro mix - The stuff in M-G holds too much moisture for too long. And yeah, you're going to need better ferts for flowering.

so can i use hyponex until vegging is over and what kind of ferts would you use is it possible i can grow more then 1 ounce with my light 150 watts hps

For flowering you want something higher in phosphorus and potassium. You want a fertilizer that also has a good balance of micro-nutrients.

What I'm using, or at least what I will be using when I start flowering is Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Bloom and then Pro Soil during ripening. The idea being to keep it simple. This is my first grow. I just happen to know a thing or two about plants.

Don't worry about yield your first time around. Focus on getting to know the plant and how it grows. Learn to recognize and treat nutrient deficiencies and cultural problems. Find out how to Identify and control insects and diseases. Learn it, and the buds will grow. As I said... Knowledge is key.
