Click to expand...

pinch the new growth above the last node..i would go with 5th or 6th node..

oy, ive got a healthy looking jack herer plant on my porch, it's about five feet tall, and just starting to flower,
it seems as though most of the leaves on the plant only have three prongs, is this normal?

When you mean pinch you mean cut rite??

I've got a plant that I'm growing in the soil right. I then took a 2 litre coke bottle and cut the back off and sealed the plant so it stays humid so far I've had it like that for 3 weeks and it's growing really good. All the leaves are facing upwards and its a really light green. Is this a good or bad way of growing it? Will it work? And why are the leaves facing up? Will paste pix asap
(I have only watered it once thats why im keeping it humid and its permanently in the sun except for night ofcourse)

Yeah ill post a pic. Must i take the dome off now? and whens the ideal time to start with the topping?

thanks for so much help realy new at this..

Im out.. so glad i found this site. Will be back with pic's and more Q's for you guys thanx again.

whats goin on well im new to the site as u can see just wanted to show you my first grow that im working on i know it's not the best here's a couple of picture's

Hey guys..

I'm not sure if im in the right thread here or anything but here goes.. I'm a first time grower from South Africa. We get a hellofalot of Sativas here mainly Swazi Gold from Lesotho which isn't too far away from me. I planted one of the seeds i found in a bankie and its 6 weeks old today (21 Aug 200 Now like i said.. I'm new and i've read quite a bit but honest opinion is what i'd really like from someone thats been doing it for a while.. I've added a few pics below.

Any advice would be much appreciated..

hey everyone, so glad ive found this awesome place. im on day 36 with my 3 hopefully ladies.
im growing in my basement with pretty good humidity levels. there about a foot tall now. my light system is 4 standard flouros (40 watts) 2 ge plant flouros, and 3 cfls 60 watt that put out 2600 lumens a piece. i have one concerrn with the cfls, there soft white, is that ok?
Ive heard that soft white wont work right compared with cool or industrial cfls. i have the light schedule 18/6 and im planning on vegging untill there about 21 to 24 inches.

the soil im using is miricle gro and says it feed plants up to 3 months, is this true? should I start feeding them plant food or wait a few more weeks?

Im having a problem with fungus gnats now and am wondering if they stole some of the nutrients. ive had these pests for 2 weeks now. Im going to try peroxcide dilluted with water to see if i can berid these pests. anyone ever tried this?

another thing I have been doing is adding some coffee grinds to the soil surface about every 2 weeks, Ive only done this twice. has anyone ever heard of doing that?

i started the plants all at the same time and the one (mama gem) is way bushier than the other 2, her leaves are twice the size, she is huge compared to the other 2. is this a sign? i did damage her roots when she was about 2 weeks old when transplanting her I ripped some , eek. scared me and i didnt know if she would make it. shes been bigger than the others since shes sprouted.

I will post some pics very soon. thanks for taking the time to read this. any replies would be greatly appreciated. this is my first grow with bag seed. thanks guys.... happy growing and happy smokin..

hey Blaze, im a newbie, but your plants look awesome. mine are 36 days and are a little behind yours, I thought sativas leaves were thinner? never seen one that young, maybe there wider when young, she looks indica to me. but i will leave that to the experts, lol... looking good man..... looking good

Look the Problem is im really lost because i dont know my way aroud the site but ill figure it out. Ok now i know wat topping is, Can i top my plant if it has started with its heads and wer do i cut????

I dont wanna mess my plant up its my 1st time trying and its looking good, But iv done nothing fancy and trying to do the topping worried im going to mess it all up. Should i just leave it?. Its' more or less 30cm in hight.

Sorry it took time to get back... To top you go up the plant to about the 4-5th nodes (thats the new growth that sprouts out of the stem where the bigger leaves are... you cut about 1/4" up from that new growth..Cut straight across (exposes less of inner stem, less risk of any infection. . .etc) ..in a few days new growth will become shoots...and not just little leaves.. luck.

hmmmm.. now you've got me thinking too.. i assumed its sativa cos we dont really get indica here, you could be right though mate.. lol its my first time growing too! I was under the impresion that an indica leaf looks more like a maple leaf instead of having individual "fingers" on the leaf like the sativa..

meh.. as long as i get high...

Im a noob researching what I need to start growing indoors and stumbled across this site...very cool! Nice people with lots of info...Im thinkin about starting my hobby with a Aerogrow and it seems from the feedback on this site that its a good option...this site is great...I can't stop reading!!




HogLeg

see, its the opposite here, its mostly indica here in the north eastern states, no there not like maple leafs, the leaves are just wider than the sativas. the sativas are very slender. i wish mine were sativa since there somewhat rare for this area and you get more of an energized high where with indica you just wanna chill, lol. Ill be happy either way as long as at least one is female....

I am new to here but NOT new to "the wonderful world of weedage". I have some bubblelicious flowering here (outside) in NC, USA! Around 9 weeks to go before I have quality "medicine" for my chronic back pain. I am doing all I can to push for support for MPP Homepage so if you haven't been there please go! See you guys around the forums!

Hello my name is Josh, I bought a clone of strawberry cough yesterday and I have very little experience growing, the last time i was 17 and it died. Any advice? Im thinking of doing an in and outside thing till it starts to grow out of its little pot thing it came in. Any advice of what to do and how to start would be a gift. [email protected] email. late

Wow, so many new folks we hardly have time to meet them all, WELCOME TO THE FORUM. Lots of questions being asked and thats good, if you never ask one, you for sure will not get an answer. Most of you need to start journals right away, the rest can wait for a day. Remember to put a link to your Journal in your Signature, that way when you stop in their journals and tell them how good their 'Ghetto Setup' is, they will see your journal and visit it and tell you how nice it looks.
THANX FOR THE PICTURES, WE LIKE PICTURES, A PICTURE IS LIKE A THOUSAND WORDS. We consider them almost necessary unless you want dumb, underinformed answers, and all of the plants posted look like they are doing ok.
There are several threads about controlling pest, spider mites and fungus gnats primarily, take a look at a few, h2o2 will not affect gnats or mites, it will kill pathogens, germs, bacteria etc. not insects. Welcome. VV
