What's new

How much longer to veg?

It's not over yet, I've seen plants that looked miserable in veg snap out of it, and turn out half decent once they started 12/12

If you plan on getting about 1/2 OZ off each one you probably won't be disappointed, but I just don't see much more then that from how they look now.

Hmmm, half an oz? That doesn't even pay the electricity.
Should I just stick them in the garden and hope for the best?

Do you live somewhere you could get away with doing that?
Sticking them in the garden that is?

You may as well see them through to completion at this point IMO, a little bit of something is better then all of nothing, but at the same time I would get some new seeds started ASAP.

Dude its all ok bro. You can still get 1 pound off them easy. If they are female that is.

1. Head down to your local nursery and tell them you want the best potting mix they have. Also grab a bag of organic compost & a little bag of blood & bone.

2. Get some BIG pots (cause this is your 1st gro just get it right the 1st time) and mix 60% best potting mix with 40% compost. FILL the pots bro

3. Put the plants in and water well. Dont water them again for at least 1 week.

4. Read A Complete Guide to Topping, Training and Pruning and top them right way. Keep topping and fimming for a few weeks.

Then you will be good to flower. Week two of flower give em some blood and bone and thats it.

Repot, train, water. Thats it. 1000w + 5ish more weeks veg... You will hit 1 pound easy :tiphat:


Mate if anyone can fix this grow we can.

1. Whats the temp & humidity in there?

2. Is that 1000w air cooled?

3. Do you have a fan blowing in the tent?


I think the best thing you can do right now is get some scisors and sit with them in your hand while you read about topping. Then just top them right now. If you want a pound you need them plants to bush up.
Then go get some potting mix n compost and get the plants out of that chicken shit.

I mean... I like your optimism and positive vibes JW but really.. telling the noob he can still get 1lb.. And easy! I mean cmon man your taking the piss out of him..

The only way he will get 1 pound off those plants is if the world spins on his axis and everything shit turns opposite...

Aside from that the rest of your advice is right on..

Hey dude! Now that's what I wanted to hear! :tiphat:
I'll definately get some huge pots. And follow your advice of the 60% soil and 40% compost. Sweet.

I read that topping guide. Awesome I'll definately do that.
I'm not sure of the humidity. But the temp is low. It actually feels quite cold in there compared with outside.

I'm using a cooltube. Also have a big exaust fan.

I've got the lights about 2.5 feet above the plants. Is that too far?

Thanks man for the advice! :tiphat:

I'm just ignoring you lol. I may not get a pound but I know I'll get at least 2 oz's per plant.

You may not believe me but I did get 2 oz's of my first grow.
And before I flowered it it didn't look as good as these ones do.:wave:

Read this. Easiest thing ever very very simple. Follow the instructions in the first post to the T.

After that what else is going on. What kind of environment is this in? What type of grow is it? Why are you doing just 2? What is the space like? Is it light tight? Are you planning to do a one and done type of grow? What's up man?

See.. He's only listening to what he wants to hear. Yeah sure you can still get 1lb per plant.. Are you seriously taking the piss.. What a stupid waste of time of a thread where the OP doesnt want to listen to truths just what he needs to hear.. Its the height of stupidity really.

Listen up for fuck sake Soil"Noob" you WILL NOT GET 1lb OFF ANY OF THOSE PLANTS NO MATTER WHAT OK!!!! Be happy if you get 1 zip imo

You guys stop feeding him blatant fucking lies its pathetic, speak the fucking truth and be real with him

Who knows how much you will get off those 2? Your goal should be to continue to learn and "grow" your grow game that is..
Take what you and do better next time. Maybe plan ahead and get a little machine going if you want to grow your own and not run out. Be patient and don't get frustrated and give up.
I know just enough to be dangerous and and am really a newb myself I would consider myself anyway.
Everything you need to know is here you just need to read it. KISS.

And i cannot wait to see your 2oz plants, please prove me wrong. I mean maybe if you repot them and get them in a proper mix and veg for a bit longer, then do some training & topping, then manage to provide them with the correct amount of nutrients to complete flower without burning your plants to shreds with your "hydro nutes" yes then maybe u might hit 2oz, but at the moment you are shovelling shit uphill with a fork.

LOL, are you mentally chalenged or something? I never thought I would get 1 pound per plant. With 4 plants under a 1000W that would be 4 pounds. Or almost 2 grams per watt. Only a total pro could get that.

I want 4 oz's per plant. And you may not believe me but I've grown 1 plant before indoors in soil. During veg it wasn't as good as these and I still pulled 2 oz's. Weighed with proper scales.

I'd be happy with 3 oz's per plant. With another 6 weeks veg and a lot of care and training I don't see what's so hard about that.

Considering I got 2 before with a shitty plant.

Have you grown before?

Wow man cheers for the link. Been looking for something like this for ages :tiphat:


It's indoors in soil. Just cheap potting mix. I added some chicken manure. I've actually got 4. Just only took pictures of 2.

It's in a tent, so the light isn't completely airtight. But it's pretty close.

No, I want to grow for the rest of my life. Not just 1 grow.

Calm down brotha...I haven't lied to him. Most are here to help, if its a waste of time then don't bother. Don't be a dick though man, if that's your opinion then fine but don't be a dick though. If he's posting here then let's help him not discourage him. Me I amnot a genie so fuck if I know what those 2plants will do but if you want to grow and learn I will help if I can. If he doesn't want to listen then fine but he didn't do anything to you did he? Hey I hate to see hard up plants too, but you sounded rude in your posts maybe you didn't mean it that way maybe you did? Just be nice and help out if you can. You sound lime he personally offended you.:thank you:kp

Sorry but the guys a joke.. He arrives completely uninformed listens to nothing except what he likes to hear.

I mean keep helping him.. whatever.. il stay out of here but i can spot a time wasting moron a mile away and trust me this soil"master" is definitely one.

The only thing i apologise for is being a bit rude (this was me actually tempering myself) but aside from that the guys obviously a time waster / joke

im out:wave::wave:

EDIT: And BTW Kush i never said you lied to him i CLEARLY said the guy who told him he can still get a pound easy off one plant.. i thought i made that quite clear.

HMMM. Looked through all your posts. No sign of you doing any actual grows. Must be why you didn't believe I got that 2oz's.

Once you actually have grown you will understand how much plants increase in size after flower.

For now I'll listen to the "real" growers.

Peace.

Vinegar is for ph down and baking soda is for ph up...or buy ph up and ph down at the garden store.
I think ur suppose 2 let chicken shit sit for along time(like months or a year) cause its to strong...not possitive but I'm sure i heard that somewhere.

Sooo how old is ur shit???lol

Maybe look into one of those flush kits...if ur shits new.


Here's a ph chart also.

Keep the advice coming guys I'm learning heaps.
Will definately get some bigger pots and the compost I need.

I'll also use the topping guide.

I just need one more question answered.

In jorge's book he says that a 1000W HPS should be 2 feet away from plants.

How low should it be with a cooltube? Cheers guys. :tiphat:
