How old from sprouting are the pants?
hey whats up, approximately 32 days already from sprout. started the veg stage 20 days ago. I was reading not to start with Nutes when using Fox Farm Oceans Forest Soil the first few weeks when starting the Veg, but now i feel like i should use a little more in the dose. what do you think?

the fox farm soil mix should have every thing all ready loaded in it, I think keep it lite if your going too give them another feeding.

Ok great thank you another question lol after seeing your babies. Btw they look beautiful. So the FF soil will be good enough all the way through out flowering? when do u recommend i start giving it nutes? I am going to watch it for the next few days hopefully its not that i gave it too much nitrogen. Thanks for the tip

My plan is to leave my sprouts in the solo cups for about a month, let them get a little root bound, keeping any stretching to a minimum via the small cups, then transplant them to 2 gallon pots and once they get going in the bigger pots I will start the feeding.
I make my own organic soil mix, and there is plenty of food all ready loaded in it for young plants.

sweet deal .. Im finishing up a tent with a perfect sun1000 and a perfect sun cob 8x4 and then another 8x4 with 2 spectrum kings 400 plus. they are working out all right theres a bit of a learning curve with the LEDs i find.
the plants im finishing are all Bohdi seeds. a bunch of different strains.
what strain are you growing?
The plants I just disposed of were good weed bag seeds. About a week and a half into flower, they showed themselves. 2 out of 2 were male.
I have fem Kali Mist seeds I am going to germinate now.

yes its a bit confusing when you first sing up as far as not being able to freely post things, but it probably keeps the trolls and dick heads at bay..

I havent sexed any of the sprouts yet, mine are still only a few weeks old but are coming along. I will try and get ride of most all the males in another month or so (keeping the best tall and short, for breeding down the road) then the fun of cloning and labeling all the females, then fire them thru and keep the best tall and the best short for mother plants. lather rinse repeat.
My next adventure will be prolly be secret chief X more cowbell, same deal plant a couple hundred find the stud male and best couple females. i might cut back the number of plants a bit see how she goes.

Hello all, Beginner grower here, never grown weed before, but wanna try now with my medical card in hand. I have a 4x4x8 tent, 250 watt HPS bulb, and i wanna grow in the garage in Los Angeles Ca. I can't grow now in July because the garage gets to be 85-100 degrees depending on current weather and i think the plants would die of heat. I do not have air conditioning. I wanna do 2-4 plants if possible. The guy at the hydro store said my 250 watt bulb will only cover a 2x2 foot area, is this true?? am i wasting my time with this 250 bulb,should i upgrade to 400 watt instead?? the reason i want to run a 250 watt bulb is to be stealthy and inexpesive to grow. i use very little herb and if i get 1-2 ounces out of 1 grow i would have enough medicine for possibly 4-6 months. I'm thinking of starting up my grow possibly beginning when the weather starts to cool off from typical california summer weather what do you guys think about starting in early to mid september or early october Any advice is greatly appreciated thanks CW

I think you need a smaller tent, not a bigger light. Because you don't want to go big until your skills improve. Or maybe you can just grow in the center of your tent.

Yeah that's about right for a 250w. You want a 600w to light up a 4x4. But you don't have to fill your tent or light the whole thing up if you only want a few oz.
Sounds like in your location your garage might not be the best space for growing. You could insulate the garage really well to insulate the heat out but your still limited to what your ambient air temps are unless you run a mini split AC to lower the temp of the air going into your tent.
If the garage is the only option then you will have to work with what you have but if you have a space indoors and central air con you might be better doing that instead.

If all you want is 2oz you could do that with a couple of COBs or a 90w Quantum board kit. The less wattage you use, the less heat your adding to the situation. But you still want ambient air temps considerably lower than your reporting.
