hey man ..i did a 12-12 from seed experiment a couple years back and i stressed the hell out of my plants because of temp problems...my box would get hot during the day and would be freezing cold during the night time..this stressed my plants out so bad and like yours, they really just stopped growing.. i dont mean to thread jack or spam my pics up on your thread but check it out..i reccomend getting an exhaust/ inline fan as soon as possible.. your box will cool down by so much man you wont regret it..airflow-temperatures-and amount of lighting are all very important..i plan on adding an aditional exhaust fan to help cool my box down....when growing the herb, you really learn as you go, and learn from your mistakes. your doing awesome for a first timer though keep up the good work my man! oh and about adding nutrients..i usually add nutes whenever i feel like the plant can handle it.. maybe about a week or two old.. start with a small amount of nutes and add a bit more as the plant gets bigger

your plants were amazing Lol
Check out my thread. The 2 plants in the blue pots, as well as the other 2 that are flowering got the lights flipped at 11 days...took about 3 weeks to start flowering (Keep in ind this was with large temp swings that were inconsistent, and 2 received a transplant during that time.) The rest of the plants were switched a week after vegging (Some received over-watering stress and temp stress that's why they're small), or started from 12/12. I'll post a picture update, when my room mate goes to class, so you can see their progress.

Don't worry I appreciate the advice... Tomorrow is my first day off in weeks so im going to construct a small carboard A/C box to cool things down... I just choped the chuurch at 7 weeks which might be a week early but all the leaves were browning and I wanted to cut it before it died, but o'well... Now all my focus is on my new box with my big "Hempy Bucket" which is doing great... I made a really stupid move the other day I sprayed a folliar nute spray to warm my plant up to the nutes... Saddly I put molasses in the foliar spray along with a drop of plain dish soap and a 1/4 str. nute solution of 10-15-10... all was good buut the molasess sitting in the perlite made a perfect area for flys, so now I have a bunch of fungus flys (i believe thats what they are/ called) anyways I'll post some pics when my buds all dry and when my box has a little growth...

Sticky, keep up the good work man. I am on my first grow as well and I've learned that its best to take it as it comes. I've learned so much on this site and from fellow growers. You can't expect too much for your first grow but congrats on your firrst harvest. Let us know how that smoke is!

So the Church was great nugs... I cropped about 4 grams off the plant, which I know isn't alot buut it was about quality over quanity.... Put all 4 grams into a BIG OL' BLUNT
and boy was I impressed with myself...Now one to my second baby ( I hope shes female)... my new box is doing great stays around 75-85 all depending on if I cover the front up or not... I added a pic of my make-shift A/C unit the two computer fans are exhaust fans and the top on is intake as well as another fan for circulation... managed to get most of the flys out
Also have you guys ever heard of a Gro-Bag? Made by MG its a bag of dirt with three holes cut in it so you can plant stright into the bag... i got some peppers growing in one now if they do good i might try it with some buds... its got all the nutes and everything in it just add plants and water....
P.S. should I start a new thread or just continue this one?

i would stay away from anything MG, seeing how based on experience with organics and countless other growing methods, organics blows everything else out of the water and should be the only way to go!View attachment 1559191View attachment 1559193View attachment 1559190View attachment 1559189View attachment 1559194View attachment 1559192

Thanks yea she smoked great... I might get another clone from my buddy, but I'm moveing soon so I don't want to deal with that and moveing...i would stay away from anything MG, seeing how based on experience with organics and countless other growing methods, organics blows everything else out of the water and should be the only way to go!
I really didn't get rid of them, but I stoped watering with molasses because thats what started the swarm of them and I've been spraying down my plant and area with water mixed with a little dish soap aand thats cut them by about 50-60% im still working on getting rid of them...
hope that helps... so quick update on my new plant shes not doing to well cause of the flys Im gunna work on getting her healthy and all grown out since I move in 2 months I was going to flower, but I'm gunna grow her out till I move to my new place
