plant stages

ricof78 · Aug 23, 2012

so I can't tell where I am at this point I've never seen the different stages of plants so I have no idea where I am at with them right now two of them were planted on 7/19 and one was on 7/30. Ever since I added more light and nutrients they seem to be growing a lot more and I don't know what flowering stage is or looks like veg. stage or if it's the same as flowering and I don't know when the transition to blooming should be...any info will help thanks

mate just google all this and read forums. but if you are giving them more than 16 hours of light they will be vegging and 12-13 hours of light per 24 hours will make them flower. if they are seeds you should grow them a bit before you flower but clones can go when you are ready. they will roughly double in size from when you flower them so remember that when you choose when to flower

They are in veg. state now and will continue until you reduce the lights for flowering down to 12 hours per 24 hour period. Read a lot and it will become less of a mystery. There are mysteries for me every day and I'm ten years into this.

Enjoy life and God's medicine

i'm just speaking generally there are many variations to light cycles etc so get a dvd or book to learn the basics and you will find all you need to know

This person set that up but knows so little? Doesn't quite add up.

thanks for the advise everyone...I've been trying to do as much research as possible and I've been learning as I go along right when I think I know what I need to know its always something new that I did wrong or don't have and this has been the best place for me to ask questions as I go along so far. Once I can make it past this first time I should be somewhat knowledgeable for the next grow. I heard it wasn't easy and everyone was right my next step is trying to control the air temperature it was at 104 at one point but I set up and exhaust to take in cool air from my bedroom but I have to keep the AC on all the time and I only have it down to about 98. I have the temperature gauge down near the plants but when I put my hand next to the plant area it seems cooler than 98...it's always something...lol...thanks again for the advice

there will always be something mate, thats why you just need to pay attention and check things at least once a day. you sound like you have the right attitude and thought processes so im sure youll do well

ricof78 · Aug 23, 2012

yeah I spent a lot on trying to set it up...it's still not close enough to where I want it to be but I think i may have spent more time in the construction end of it rather than looking into the actual growing of the plants which is at the step I am at now...I know nothing about growing plants I'm even trying to grow a basil plant and failed at that also...lol...and when I first started i found a website that said all I needed was that container and a 13watt LED light to grow and yeah that didn't work

gaztron3030 · Aug 23, 2012

if you spent alot of time and cash on your environment it will save you time and hassle in the long run so you didnt make any mistakes there. Water, air, a medium, light and some nutrients are all a plant needs. it is your job to be mother nature and provide an environment as close to natural as you can and life will do the rest. Keep it simple and you will always be learning new things to help you.

I wait till they are the same size as a basket ball then switch to 12/12 cut back on nitrogen and begin to int the bloom nutes. Looks like they are healthy and you are doing a good job

im just gonna jump out there and say.."my fav stage is when its dried to perfection and in my bong"
that the most important stage..imo

SOMEBEECH · Aug 23, 2012

You really need to start thinking now about RES.TEMP.And put some frozen bottles in there or Your gonna have some major issues,With tht high of a Ambient Temp.Try to keep 60-75f is what works for me.

ok I really hate to be a pain but I think my next step may be CO2, I can't afford the kit right now but I was looking into those Exhale CO2 bags for now, would it be worth it or should I just wait until I have the money for the kit...Thanks again for the advise everyone

I think you have a pretty tidy setup there from what I can tell of your photo. I would suggest you get more familiar with the basics of growing before giving any real thought to more spending. Like others have said, work on getting your ambient temp down and cooling your res. Good luck.

i use yeast sugar mix in half a dozen bottles round the room, i notice the difference to when i havnt used it so its cheap and has results
