Welcome New Members!

hey matt I have a couple questions. I have recently started to grow in my closet that is in my bedroom. It is about 2ft wide, 5 ft long, and 7ft high. I have the walls painted white and the ceiling is tin foiled. I have ducting hooked to a 10" fan that blows air towards the plants. I currently am using 4 23 watt cfl daylight bulbs in single round lamp domes. Im having a big problem with the temperature when my closet door is closed. Sometimes it gets to 90. I have ducting going into my attic but no exhaust fan. I have an exhaust fan hooked up to my door. Idk how to lower the temperature and how many cfl bulbs do I need for one plant?

Hello, I am a first time grower but I have been researching quite a lot for a long time. I ordered some seeds, but my friend has just recently offered me a white widow clone, so I am super excited about that. I am using CFLs and am growing in a 2x2x4 tent. My Growing medium is coco.

What up fellow tokers, been on a few forums but this one has a nice diversity to it. Got Dutch passion ( think different ) autos germinated as we speak. Will post pics as I go along. Post a thread in the LED section, need some help. Thanks.

Whut up everyone! I made my profile a while back and never found time to get on here and vibe out with y'all! Better late than never, and I come with Newbie stress for your asses! I'm approaching my 3rd week of flower and I think I have a Hermie chillin amongst my bitches! Please help yall. "She" is a OG Ghost Train Haze plant taller than my wife, I would hate to give her the jason vorhees treatment! My cam sucks so let me know if I need better pics peace!!

Hi all from midwest USA first post!

Hey just want to say I'm new and looking for help. Thanks. I have some questions about my small closet tent grow.

Hi, I'm new here and new to growing my own , started from female seeds and they are now in the dirt today, "pure Kush" . I need to go get some lights and have no clue what I need really, I don't see me growing more than 5 at a time really, any input would be much appreciated

Hi, I am new to growing as well. I am looking to make RSO for health reasons... I live in WI and mj is of course not legal. I have been researching the RSO for a few weeks now and I would love to get some until I am able to make my own as it will take 8-12 weeks to grow plus get my closet set up, etc etc. Feeling very overwhelmed and frustrated that there is great health benefit in this plant and we can't readily have access to it. If anyone is in the midwest area has any nuggets of inspiration, I would appreciate it.

Hi I'm new to the forum Id like to start a grow journal, but it doesn't look like i have permissions.

So it my first time growing, I'm about 4 weeks in to the grow. I have had so many troubles but I've learned tons and it has been a great project. I'd like to show off what I've done so far and get some constructive criticism. I can barely remember all the names of the nutrients let alone all the deficiency's the plant can develop, I'd like to get some social input into my grow so I can get some good chronic out of this. I will put up photos of everything and explain in detail how I built all of my equipment as none of it is store bought.

Ps. I'm on a tight budget so suggestions like try sodium grow lights will be ignored.

This is the grow currently, i have time-lapse photography of the seedlings growing and Ill show how I did everything from the beginning.

What do you think?

honestly? Im scared as fek for ya bro. It looks awsome but the waters green? Youll be able to start a journal i believe when you get your post count up. I believe that its so that spammers cant make bogus threads. I think the set up looks sweet, id have lots of questions for ya thats for sure. Just check a bunch of threads and say some nice crap like, plants look good man, or nice lookin ladies and you should be able to get the journal going soon, then hit me up so i can sub to it. Oh ya, dont be a dick, its a tight community and missinformation gets ya in trouble too. + rep for the cool, however stange set up ya got goin on there

The green is from a Organic Seaweed growth regulator to help with root, shoot and flower development. I had some nutrient burn so i pulled back the nuts to a Quarter strength and added the regulator. its been in for about 3 days and the plants are loving it.

Just TOP'ed one of my plants, FIM'ed the other, and left one to grow as normal so I can see what I will do in future.


Ive added an image of one of my plants, I suspect its an auto-flowering strain can anyone confirm? see image below.


I made this light cost around $20, Its wired in parallel so it wont shutdown if i loose a bulb, The center is a pen holder, its made of tin and the small holes allow for self tapping screws to go in anywhere. Each bulb is 20watt CFL, I have double the recommend 50watt per M2.


Is 50w p/m2 enough, what are your thoughts?

Up until this point the equipment has cost as follows:

Light Rig - $20
Containers - $15
Piping - $10
Water Pump (not in use yet) - $15
Oxygen Pump - $5
Nutrients - $15

Total +/- $80 (not bad going I think)
I live in South Africa so everything is more expensive than USA or UK, if you thinking thats to much.

Lastly I need opinions on nutrients, this is what I bought and what it consists of, its all still greek to me.

Macro Nutrients
65 g/kg N - Nitrogen
27 g/kg P - Phosphorus
130 g/kg K - Potassium

Micro Nutrients
70 mg/kg Ca - Calcium
1500 mg/kg Fe - Iron
10 mg/kg Mo - Molybdenum - A metal needed for Nitrogen fixation??
22 mg/kg Mg - Magnesium
240 mg/kg Mn - Manganese
75 mg/kg S - Sulfur - Plants use sulfur in the processes of producing proteins, amino acids, enzymes and vitamins. Necessary in the formation of chlorophyll
240 mg/kg B - Boron - The main functions of boron relate to cell wall strength and development, cell division, fruit and seed development, sugar transport, and hormone development.

The descriptions are mainly for me to learn and other new growers Ill finish the descriptions in the Journal.

You seem off to a good start.

When I read "green", and saw that your container is
transparent, I was sure that you had a problem with
algae, but no. Interesting stuff.

Good luck,

JD

What up every body? Just wanted to say hello. Look forward to learning and chatting with you all.

Greetings, What a GREAT site this is. I live in the "liberated" state of Colorado (thank you, rebel alliance) and am just getting back into marijuana after a 35 year break from it. I look forward to making new friends here and learning all about how to grow some righteous bud of my own

https://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/ seems to be a good one to me. My girl friend and I ordered a few seeds from there about 3 months ago. Turned out to be their birthday and we got like 10 free seeds. We live in California and it was sent quickly and all showed up in one piece.

I am also new to the site and ur set looks sweet. Make a couple post and get likes u can start a journal. I still can't seem to upload pictures. I'm in week 2 of flowering. Pictures from day one just can't get pic up so I gave up. Welcome u wil learn and expand here for sure.
