MrStoner's First Grow

[SmknWhiteWidow]

looks great, i would recommend HTG supply for the light. they have a really good price for the quality. they're on ebay too and have a website with relatively the same prices. good look on these girls.

 

[420MrStoner420]

Now that is an awesome site. Prices are good. I like the long floros for my veg. 10,000 lumen would be better than the 3400 I have right now.

How are things going in your grow room?

The best thing you can do when it comes to growing is read, read, read. You are already doing good, by posting in a forum. Get, barrow, rent, steal, buy or check out Ed Rosenthal. Marijuana Grower's Handbook is a great buy, it tells you everything and more. You might also want to check out Marijuana Success Indoors, Closet Cultivator, Marijuana Growing Tips, Easy Marijuana Gardening, and Marijuana Question? Ask Ed.

Things are going great. A few questions though... Some 1 please reply.

Pic 1 - The 2 small leaves on the botton are yellow. Is that normal?
It's on all my plants.

Take a look at the pics and tell me what u guys and girls think.

I think they look pretty good. Startin to have a familliar smell in that room. LOL

Still hopin 4 females.

Yes your bottom leaves are the first to go. Your young ladies look fine. Here's some GREEN MOJO to give them a boost.

 

[MeNtAlPaTiEnT]

Ahah yea, don't worry about that. It's only when the actual serrated leaves start yellowing is when there's a problem. Grow's looking good, healthy, not too stretched, how close are your lights again?

 

[420MrStoner420]

I have 1 65 Watt CFL (3400 Lumens) And it is about 7 - 10 inches away from the top of the tallest plant.

hey mr stoner 420 ,your plants are looking good ,,,you should be able to lower that cfl to about 3 inches from the top of the plant ,,,easist way to test is if you can keep your hand underneath it without it feeling to hot it will be ok for your plants eace:

 

[MeNtAlPaTiEnT]

Just make sure your CFL isn't going to burn your plants after a while. I've had a few CFL's too close for a few hours and eventually burned the leaves, but seemed fine at first. If you have a fan blowing directly on the bulb(s), they will stay very very cool and you can almost touch the bulb to the plant with no worries which means your plants can intake more lumens!

 

[420MrStoner420]

Thanks MP and melissa for the light advice. Just got home from work and my big plant is doing awesome. I'm gonna lower the light a few inches from the top and also, I have another question. On my biggest plant one of the leaves actually has a small hole in it and its turnin kind of brown, and clue as to what is goin on. I'm not giving any nutes till next week. I was giving light feediings but have stopped. Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated. Here are some new pics.


BTW - Day 25 for vegging

 

[Melissa]

not sure about the burn maybe a heat spot ??? keep your eye on it :watchplant:
goodluck eace:

 

[ms4ms]

the info you reieved about the hps lites is good info. I have grown with cfl's one grow and now I use cfl's in veg only but that will change also. The quality of the plants are better because the light spectrum of an hps is for mj growing. If you put up 6 big cfl's you will have heat. You can also get a smaller than 400 hps lite.I use a 250 and it lites up real good.try htgsupply.com. they have great lites for decent prices.

 

[MeNtAlPaTiEnT]

I think the discolorations of the leaves probably have something to do with the light feedings you were givng it. Or it could simply be the soil itself, maybe the soil is preventing the plant from uptaking certain nutrients it wants. Who knows? All the best of luck to ya and I hope someone can verify positively what's happening to your leaves!

 

[420MrStoner420]

the hole on the leaf and the browning doesnt seem to be getting any worse. I'll definitely keep an eye on it. I got some new babies sprouting and decided to use the whole room as a grow room. I just have to get a better light for the flowering area and some black plastic to cover the veg area. Hittin Lowes tomorrow. Here are some new pics...

 

[420MrStoner420]

got two more 65W cfl's today. That brings the Lumens up to 10,200. Brought the temp up to about 81 - 82 degrees.

 

[4u2sm0ke]

Hey 420...looking good my friend...May want to put a fan on those Ladies start to build the stalk...and some milar insted of foil...cheap on ebay...keep doing what your doing and Im wishing you nothing but FEMALES my friend

 

[MeNtAlPaTiEnT]

Awsome set-up. I would reccomend some reflectors like the one you already have for the rest of the plants. Do you have a door to box the plants in? Doing good man!

 

[420MrStoner420]

I went to Lowes yesterday but forgot the black plastic. Oh well, I will do that soon. The light I am going to get is a 4' floro = to about 11,000 Lumens. Should be good for my flowering area. Will post new pics when I get it.

 

[420MrStoner420]

Ok, my first 3 plants are still doin great. I added 1 of the newer plants and they love the extra light. No new light yet for the flowering area but will get 1 soon. Here are some new pics.


Let me know what you all think so far.
