First Time, All Natural! Spent NOTHING

looks like the plant is doin ok...will keep an eye on her

I ordered a HPS last night!

 

[Thorn]

nice one, your gonna love it and so will your plants what wattage is it?

 

[Killertea08]

Hey buy some blackstrap molasses and add a tablespoon per gallon of water shake well. This will add a sweetness to your buds. I would buy a bloom fertilizer dude if its just starting out you got two months left. A bloom fert like Earth Juice bloom is only 15 bucks and will help give her the nutrients she needs to give you half decent buds. Just make sure the ph of your water is ok

Where can I get this earth juice?... Edit...Nevermind... :hubba:

250 watts... Can I use the HPS throughout my next vegetation also or will I need something else?

 

[JogaBonito521]

You can use HPS throughout veg and flower if you want. However, metal halide is definitely better for veg. You could maybe get one of those MH conversion bulbs that work on HPS ballasts. I personally veg and flower under HPS, because I can't afford a MH bulb yet.

Alright, Got my lights in... Any suggestions on the best humidity.. 40-60 seems to be a big gap. Or does it depend on the strain? In which case it wont matter right now because im not sure...

Also how do you get nice thick foliage? I read it somewhere that some effect of the light or lack of light will make the foliage thicker??? I wanna say they get thick if the light is very close or hot, correct? To protect itself???

I still dont have a fan set up yet so my temps are hittin 90F in the mid-day.. Between 85-78 early morning and evenings... Humidity is usually around 44-52 depending on wether or not my closet door is closed..

I also just germinated a couple more bag seeds to see a full growth under HPS instead of my first, which is a window grow.. They've been underground 3 days now... Expecting them to show up any day now.. Then i'll keep a full growth journal..

 

[Chips Deluxe]

Okay, I've had my HPS now for about a week, Here's an update on my plant that I had growing in the window.. Also a new seedling that came up yesterday morning...

I planted about 5 seperate seeds.. another one also popped this morning but it started growing upside down and the root came to the top, I dug it up and flipped it, then put the plastic wrap back over it to see if it would survive..

rh in flower 30-40% veg 40-50%. 60% in flower chance of bud rot especially if buds touch.

 

[Chips Deluxe]

Already flowering, I guessed this would even out bud growth.. Right or wrong? I didnt know about strengthening the stem before I got to MP so I dont want it to fall over once the bud gets heavier on top... My flowers get smaller as it goes down the stem...

 

[420ftw]

something just doesn't look right there.

 

[Chips Deluxe]

Ur no help at all!

:rofl:

man.. look at that pic of "lst" did I see clothes tied down the stem??
wooo... you need to be thankful we all is here to help..... and.. I'm sorry I didnt get time to get up with you.. just be patient with us... one guy I sent in PM I'm still waitin on him to send me back the info I need... but he didnt respond.. so I went ahead with the forum..and got the helps I got.. this site is huge bonus of learning!! there's advantages you can go to anyone s grow journal.. and learn what they doing.. right here!!... use any string strong string to lst them.. try to deep lst it.. like you want the long stem go under the hood.. let lights go on the stems.. you might see buds start growing off the stems and it will look real weird in few weeks that is where you can have little more yields of buds... that HPS will works with that lst method.. after you done doin that... now it will look right it don't look right becuz I think I see clothes tied down the plant lol.. I'm warning you... that hps will make your plant's fans of leaves around the buds to crispy leaves.. be sure to elevator the hood to be like 12 inch to 18 inch away from the stem where that you did lst'd I have lsted many long stems it works wonders!!

about thriving, or poorly feed the weed plants.... then you gonna have a little or nutthin of "high" when its ready to smoke.. I do understand about your urine as the nutes.. but think of what do you eat? greases.... ahhh thats bad... what else? chocolate? ahh.. junk snacks? myself I eat fresh real foods, vegs, no greases.. If I knew I didnt eat any greases for a month, sure I ll piss any one of my females from outside.. if you want to save your money, then watch what you eat so you can feed good to them.. but not much of nutes.. you can get bat gunaos for 5.00 from farmer market or flea market.. depends where you go... I has to go boone, nc to get just just this guano bat peat shits.. their **** is size of a mouse ****, same size.. but full of it in ziplock bag just for 5.00!! that why I went there 6 hours of drive!! last trip was 5 months ago, my bag of bat guanos is still full!!.. wanna learn how to make nutes of this? I ll post the thread of how to make nutes out of bat gunao, really easy!! also for that aerobubbleponic maybe you have checked my thread about it.. it is really easy!!! you just need to keep one female in veg stage for 24/7 all the time..
and keep it under floursect lights.. I can try put all clones of mine under the warm light of cfls.. and flip it 12/12 really close hmm? the surprise issue is.. I do not want to end up with 3 to 9 month terms and have plants like this you have right here little buds.... good thing u got hps right now and the plants u got might get chance to yield more buds within 6 weeks we ll see the results.. ok? what I'm saying is if you want to max the buds.. clones it will be super!! plus its easy... just look at massprod.. and look at my grow journal (hydro vs soil) as you can see, my plants is still in veg... watch out see some of tops is cutted.... I'm gonna make it grow bushy!! so I can get many clones as I can... than just to deal with one stem and say oh theres 5 buds.. awww.... see what I'm try to help you? clones is cheap and easy cuz it happen right here nuthin out there for the feds.. sorry.. feds thinks people grew pots and yield 8 oz out of one plant, oh please it aint true.. if someone was bust.. they will not tell about clones.. cuz it will fine them even more.. so they shut up about it and cops saw lot of buds and just few plants... they just automatic claim and blame the grower that yield it out of one plants and didn't know how.. it happen alot.. if you need anything let me know let anyone here know...I ll check with ya peace man...

Actually a piece of cloth would be softer on the plant rite? But no that was plastic wrap... Just twisted... It was there when I decided to tie it down... Right after I went and found some twine string...

Its formed like an elbow where i pulled it down at..

I repeat this was just my guinea pig.. I'm like Dr. Jekyll with this one.. I have good seeds that have sprouted and I have nutes, and proper lighting, and ventilation will be here next week... Lets call this a "Practice Plant".. I practiced topping on the boy that grew up with her.. I figured i'd try to get some light on all of those bud sights instead of shooting all that power to the top.. Seems to me the entire stem is gettin light.. All the leaves are turning upward...

 

[papabeach1]

sorry pickin you about the clothes for lst'd... I zoom in to get really close look at it.. ahhh:rofl: is that lady bandit? or plastic string made out of trash bag?

try fishing string.. thin shoe laces.. hemp string... yard string....

the yard string is only a dollar.... see my point? I gotta check other people s threads... I'm really push people to grow their own and see for themselves
so they will see go (OIC) and learn about it.. and get the real and true facts about the marijuana and the life of it.. and how much they can produce the buds most average plants make like 1/2 oz to 4 oz most of them only few could get it up to 6 oz with no clones.. but its hard and expensive to buy
seeds from bank to get good genetics so clones is really a good option..

I have grew umm.... sorry I cant count how many I grew outside for more than 15 years and I am only 27, I do believe outdoor is the high affordable way to grow... I did made some mistakes and need to clean up the hermies at the outdoor spots... I didn't knew about hermie really deep about what is hermies..until MP.com.... I want to do more for MP than just to say thanks!.. after these is clean up, I ll make a swarm of crops SOG again in ourdoor maybe 500 acres, I can go for 2,000 acres but 500 is good to start and be smart about it... :hubba: then I got me a world of pot around me.. sound pretty:hubba: nah Im just halfway to get up there..

 

[papabeach1]

ahh did your stem snapped ? broken? or kinda half way broken, that happen sometime with lstd problems.. thats okay. don't worry, use the gray duct tape, wrap it around... it will heal faster.. so you can have more thc energy flows than to have it flow out

 

[Chips Deluxe]

It doesnt seem to have snapped, Just bent at the node.. None of the juices made it to the outside after it bent, thats what I was feeling for, So apparently its all going on inside of the stem and it should rebuild itself stronger than ever correct? Like super-cropping?

 

[Tater]

That elbow as you call it is the stem breaking. It will now take about 2 weeks to heal that. You have just caused a lot of undue stress to your plant. The trick to LST is to do it slowly over time so as not to cause damage to the plant. Unless you are in veg then you could snap their neck so to say as they will bounce back given enough time.

 

[Chips Deluxe]

Well it hasnt slowed grown since I did it and the other stem didnt snap.. Either way, I think i like SC more than LST

 

[papabeach1]

patience but I did saw other posts you said you already supercroppin it lol

anyway how it goes? tater is correct though...its already healed right?
