WOW I never thought I would be Growing my own tree's. SO after making my first BONG 2 wks ago and smoking a whole dime bag to myself I said hey I need more lol I saved the seeds from their I havent turned back....

I G-minated my seeds(4seed)( 2 brown 2 white) on Monday (05/21/07)

The sprouted on Tues, round 10pm the 2 brown really had a nice sprots the white ones didnt but the looked liked the were maturing so i dried them and I am re g-minating them today to see if they will sprout.

So i planted the 2 brown seeds and they are going through their first day of lighting!!! (05/25/07) soon to be moon light time I will leave more details about my grow room(closet) and my upcoming new grow room!! holla comment if u like :hump:

UPDATE(05/26/07)

The more advance has sproted tonight during the night cycle right now I put my box fan in for a lil CO2!!

HELP!!!(:-? :confused: :-? :confused: )
I just go an vanity fixture with three outlets how can i turn this into a plug in lamp !!!!_______________________________

LATER ON
Just stocking up some containers for my new growing house i have 2 18 gallon roughneck containers! now I am going to score some cheap reflectors for($11 ea.) from PETSMART in the reptile section. some computer fans ($5 ea.) from MICO GEAR OR COMPUSA i cant seem to find mylar except online

I just found this material called reflectix it reflects 97% radiant Energy(that includes light) and its pretty cheap 15 bucks so now u dont have 2 shoot yourself looking for mylar unless u want it but reflectix does more like these things below:

Reflects 97 percent of radiant energy.
Does not promote nesting of insects or rodents.
Lowers heating and cooling costs year round.
Easy to install.
Prevents mold and mildew.
Vapor and radon retarder.
Not affected by moisture or humidity.
Eco Options approved product
Nontoxic/noncarcinogenic.
Does not require protective gear to install.
Does not compress, collapse or disintegrate
Its at your local home depot and maybe Walmart(prob its just not coming up on their website) I hope i have helped some 1

O yea im using the computer fans and a lil chep oscillating fan but i havent began im still finding all the supplies. i found one of
thoes that goes in your bathroom for cheap do u think i could mount that to 1 side and just use 1 pc fan and the oscillating fan????

^^wut he said..

what kinda lighting do u have? what is ur growing medium? what type of nutes are you gonna be using? how long are u gonna veg?

reflectix is fine, ive heard great things about it.

make sure U get a thermometer and moisture meter/pH meter. dont forget to have one fan sucking air out, when I grew in the rubbermaid bin last grow the temps got up to 100*F+ and i was using cfl's! my plants got burned really bad at first then the leaves curled, turned crispy and started falling off. luckily i had 3 females outta the bunch, but they definitely didnt reach their full potential

Im not going to grow them tall i want them bulky short and fat lol cus i dont have enough room so when they get high enough in going into straight 12/12 mode im gonna let them get about 2.5 ft tall

those are what, 23w cfl's? that should last the next 2-3 weeks but ur definitely gonna need to step that up. Nitrogen is good for all plants including females. but 18-14-14 is pretty decent for vegging.

U plan on topping/lsting any?

cut back on the amount of light right now, no need for that much light this young especially in that grow box, like i mentioned with 4 - 26w CFLs in my rubbermaid bin my temps got up to 100*F+..the plants were unhappy and it showed. also the plants look a lil overwatered, do you have a fan on the plants?

I got seeds 4 days..lol..U need some new soil too, something without ferts. pre-fertilized soil can only be making the burning worse.

yeah... get a "soilless" potting mix
and then buy either some organic nutes (fish emulsion and worm casts and whatnot) or some chemical stuff (more control on amounts in soil) but there are arguments as to which to use https://www.rollitup.org/view.php?pg=faq&cmd=category&id=54

and yeah, ventilation!!!!! is key to keeping temps down... a fan on the air outake and a hole about twice as big for intake should help in keeping temps low (and remember, vent out on top, suck air in from bottom)

oh and about the nutes... you don't even need them for the first couple of weeks... then use whatever you buy at half recommended strength and then move up until you find what makes your plants happiest (we don't want to burn the fuck out of them with the nutes... one reason why some choose organics...)

hope some of that helps
