went throught the same thing. as long as you didnt rip off the main root, you should be fine, just let your plant recover. and to sex just wait untill your area has 12/12 sun and darkness.

Hello everyone, this is faisal from lebanon. i was wondering if it would be a safe to buy seeds online, send them to a friend in ohio, and have him send them to me? Cuz i doubt they would send them directly to leb.

If they ship world wide, they should ship to any country. It may have more to do with Lebanon customs and mail system.

To ship to US first seems like just an extra shipping. You may try to contact the seed bank just to check before you order.

Hi everyone. Hey, has anyone ever cloned from the lowest branch while flowering? I have read the buds on the bottom are weaker and that makes sense, due to light restrictions, etc..
Was wondering if it was worth while to snip the smallest branch with the tiny bud.
Am into 3 weeks of flowering and she is looking good!
Thanks so much.

Hey all. Trying to figure out the best way for LST My 6 plants are about 8 inches tall and have them growing under 2 foot flouro tubes. it started as one twin bank of tubes but I added another 2 so 6 single tubes all up. this is just until I can afford the 600w setup. I am just growing some awesome shit I got in a bag from seed and they seem to be doing ok, well sort of I over watered them and the ph was too high but the new shoots are green now anyway. I have drilled a hole in the top lip of each pot and tied them over so about 2 inches from the top is horizontal. Am I doing this wrong or should I leave it the way I have done it?
Regards and thanks in advance

My question is lights, My grow area is small (4.75sq. ft.) I'm using four 24'' fluorescent bulbs from walmart, 20w each. I have two of the daylight bulbs (1025 lumen each) Do I want the plant/aquarium (750 lumen each) or the kitchen/bathroom (1275 lumen each)?

Hi,

Just checkin in.

Got my first grow in a closet, with 5 plants (bag seed).

2 of them about 3 weeks old, up to 5 inches 3 nodes.

3 at 2 weeks old with 2 nodes ready to transplant two of em, the third one is a runt.

Have had PH issues (working in that with a little vinegar water), heat issues with 8-27 watt cfls and two 45 watt cfls.The 45 watters are in the red spectrum and 7 of the 27 watters are blue, with one lonely 27 watter in red spectrum. I cut a hole in the wall and put in a vent a placed a fan against the vent to draw out the air, with another fan at the opposite end of the closet to push the air towards the vent fan. I also have a smaller fan hung next to my lights also pushing air toward the vent fan. This set-up lowered my temps from 100 degrees f to 88 f. Who knew that cfls got so hot!

I will be switching to a 600 watt hps for flower and will run the blue spectrum cfls with it to get a bit of uvb spectrum.

I am using soil with bat guano, worm castings, blood meal, bone meal, miracle grow, perlite, and a bit of epsom salts.

I have been feeding with a 1/4 strength solution of fish emulsion (yuk) and liquid seaweed.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I've also done a soil nute test and found all of my levels to be good except for my high PH (7.7) and low phosphorus, I am guessing that the low phos. may not be too bad for veg. but disastrous for flower.

Oh,

My closet size is 2 ft' deep by 8 ft' wide and 9 ft tall.

I'll be building a new grow room in a basement soon before this grow is complete, so that I can clone. The new room will have a clone room/ veg room and a flower room. I will keep vegging with cfls and flowering with an hps/ cfl combo.

Welcome to RIU!

What kind of bat guano are you using? They make Indonesian bat guano that is great for adding extra phosphorus. Check out the organic section on making Actively Aerated Compost Tea (AACT).

Lower you Ph by adding a little cider vinegar in with each watering, the good thing about organics is Ph will generally stay in range by itself if you ensure that there are plenty of beneficial microbes in the soil.

I also think of it this way:

Humates= Food for Mychorizae
Sugars (usually molasses)= Food for bacteria

Also make sure you are allowing the chlorine to evaporate out of your tap water!

Good luck! :peace:

yo im new to rollitup and indoor growing. just asking is a 400w metal halide overkill for 5 young plants?
Should be good, keep your plants short.
 
hey; i just joined. but like 2 weeks ago i started growing. and i know i'm in the early stages but i heard something about needing ventilation; and i'm pretty stumped on how i'm supposed to do that. so if you guys could give me some tips; that'd be great : )

You should check out the grow room design threads and then try to plan out a good ventilation system for your set-up. Once you get a plan post it and people will help. :peace:

I have a question. I just started growing a couple plants in a closet / cabinet set up. They're only four days old and there a little less than an inch high. For the past four days they've been sitting in the dark, that is unless I've gotten them out to check up on them.

My question is how do i know when my plants are ready for a lighting cycle such as 18/6? The leaves haven't really fanned out yet, so do i wait for that or can i just get them in the rhythm earlier?

I'm starting them under some pretty potent LED's then ill be switching them to a MH setup. Let me know when its good to start lighting your plants.

-Thanks

Your plants have had no light for four days?

I'm confused by your question but I will try to explain lighting cycles.

Many people use different light cycles for veg 24hrs, 20/4, and 18/6 are most common. It is really up to you what you use.

It is best to wait until your plant shows alternating nodes and or pre-flowers before you switch to 12/12 and induce flowering. It takes about four weeks for most stains to start showing maturity.

You can use 12/12 from seed just don't expect a huge yield. Hope that helps and welcome!
