First time

[markgg]

sorry if its in the wrong section,a friend of mine decided to have a crack at growing his own,a few seeds later and they've started to grow.started of as a laugh but now,you never now it might work,
started of in normal soil and transferred in to individual pots with moss peat.
there outdoors all time,he's made this dome like thing with perspex.
temp inside is around 40/50 degrees through the day.
can someone point him in the right direction as what he should do next.
Thanks.

First thing you need to do is find out what stain they are, little if any of the seeds they sell in the shops stand a chance of finishing outdoors.

Second thing is look up a good soil recipe ( growers forums ) and read,read,read, it wont be long utill they'll need potting on.

Spend some time reading the forums or get a good book, learning as you go along is often a recipe for failure.

don't know what they are,left over from a bag of weed,no harm in carrying on for experience.he's chuffed with himself never grown anything before,he only planted them 3 weeks ago.

Looks like a slight case of overwatering and nute burn, if your not deeding the plants anything but water yet it could be that the soil is too hot (there are already nutes in the soil and that are too strong for a small plant)

MAke your own supersoil, anthing he has in the video can be found in Woodies or Atlantic home. Or if your near a B&Q your sorted
The best soil i found was in Woodies, its Called "West+" and its "all organic" and says it will feed plants for up 6 weeks, it works fine for vedge plants but mix it up with additives and it will make some killer soil

OK i messed up i had them under warm white cfls.now i have 2x2foot cool white floros,18w 1350lm 15000hr.i don't think its enough.i can't afford the real macoy,haven't got enough room to add more floros.any ideas.

history.
started them outdoors(fine)
made a grow room,put under wrong lights(got sick)
now under the 2 florosany

any ideas on weather my light situation will be sufficient enough to keep them going.


but on the plus side they look a bit healthier.

Can you not get them back outside, they are recovering nicely
Good Luck

can that be done,switching from natural to simulated light,if so well yes i could.but on the cloudy days will the lights i have be enough.

ok i have a new problem after transferring to separate pots they seem to be dying,all the leaves are going dark brown at the edges,one of the big plants leaves are are turning brittle, i got westlands premium garden soil slow feed mixed with miracle grow potting soil,haven't added anything else,got a bottle of baby bio plant food,made up some nettle feed as well,i haven't added any of the feed yet.
please help,this is harder than i thought.

 

[Hazy Lady]

Oh dear!, it looks like a Phosphorus (P) deficiency.
If I was you I would let them settle down a few days, the medium you used should be balanced and it is possible the old pots/medium caused this and the new mix will sort it?
As I say, let them settle down, see what a few days being left alone does I have seen worse!.

Keep the Bio for your houseplants, the nettle could make a good feed though but do not add any for a long time.

 

[markgg]

i ve stead away,i did do a little trimming.

the under growth comes on great and then starts to discolour,i ll end up with umbrella plants if the leaves keep dying off.

 

[hugh420]

you should be fine just keep researching and reading up on how to grow heres a few good guides...
http://www.weedfarmer.com/cannabis/indoorv1_guide.php http://www.weedfarmer.com/cannabis/growingoutdoors_guide.php
every plant goes through some amount of stress and looses a few leaves but weed is a very hardy plant and it should work out for you

 

[markgg]

i am a bit happier there starting to look,well, imo they are,i fed them once with a nettle tea i made myself using this wonderful forum.i also purchased west+ multi purpose feed 4-2-5.which i won't use for a week or 2,or will the nettle tea be sufficient enough to bring back up the phosphorus levels,or can someone advise me as the best way to bring these levels back to normal.i can't actually check the levels as i do not have 60euro for a ph tester.
a few of the stems are a bit purple,a couple of new leaves getting white ends.

lookin good

 

[markgg]

really?thanks.i did think they where a little to dark(green)

 

[hugh420]

Nope they look fine and the nettle tea should do.do you know what strain they are?Are you going to move them back outside?

haven't got a clue,started off through curiosity from 13 seeds in the bottom of the bag,didn't even have a flower pot,and added and added and now i am here amazed there still alive.

i will get them outside. the last 2 days haven't been clear clear skies.
so i assume i can use the lights as well
they come on at 5am and off at 11pm,and a few hours off natural sun in between,yes?

also i ve changed soil,well potting mix,started of with miracle grow pot mix,with westland premium soil slow feed.
now it a 50/50 westlands west+ potting mix with westlands premium soil slow feed.is it ok to change soils

Don't worry man, you'll not need a ph pen for growing organic soil, I've never used one in 10 years of growing. They are looking a lot better now, I'd start feeding them now if I was you, also if your giving them tea get your hands on some black strap molasses and if you can, some bat guano. These 2 ingredients will bring on the health and flavour of your bud by miles
