Well .... Im a newbie to growing all things green. I have grown a ton of boomers, and am pretty proficient at it if I do say so myself. Heres a pic of my last fungus grow.
So Ive been wanting to grow MJ for awhile now, and am getting geared up to trade my blue thumb for a green one. I also have wanted to grow some veggies and Ive set up a veggie garden in my spare bathroom. Im using a 400w HPS. I have 5 tomato plants currently. All determinant varieties. 3 totem hybrids (plum sized fruits) and 2 bush early girls (4" slicers). I also have some basil, lettuce, and a green pepper plant that just sprouted.
They are doing pretty good. I over fertilized them, and overwatered them but they seem to have weathered my newbie storm pretty well even though they started off pretty rough. Just yesterday I noticed two of them are fruiting! Nothing like going to the shitter to pick some fresh produce! Sweet!
... I think Im going to sprout a few MJ beans and once they get a few leaves put them in one gallon pots and stick them in with the tomatoes (propped up to get light). Then Ill switch the lights to 12/12 just to see how things go and to keep them smaller. I dont want huge MJ plants out in the open, once I get my cab built I go for it but for now I want to keep them small.
Heres a pic of them today. I raised the light as I am getting some really weird growth. The two plants directly under the light are growing up .. then making a 90 degree turn and growing straight down to the ground, like they dont want to go closer to the light.
I dont know if Im right about this weird growth pattern, but its my only logical guess. literally the branches grow out, and up tword the light, then do a complete 180 and head for the ground growing down instead of up. Heres some pics showing the wierd growth. What do you think? Light to close?? (as mentioned in the above pic I already moved it up, it previously was about 10" away from them - its a 400w hps)
Also, do you think switching the light to 12/12 to flower the MJ plants Im going to put in there will stop tomato production? The lights are set 18/6 now.
