First time hobby grower with bagseed (need tips).

[Dank42O]

Hey guys, ive recently gotten a few seeds from a friend and he told me to try and start growing.. so i did since i have nothing else better to do why not grow some WEED!! The seeds i got were straight up from an oz of weed bought off a dealer. My plant is now starting the 2nd week of Veg and looks to be an indica, the leaves are thick and green sign to me that its healthy, just hoping for a girl , im gonna be doing 1 plant at a time i know thats wasting time but hey IM the one growing not you . Heres my set up

- Big cardboard box covered with tin foil (dull side out) set inside a 2x3ft closet
- 1 42w Daylight CFL for veg and 2 42w red (orange?) spectrum for flowering
- Using a 7.5 x 9 inch pot with potting soil

My big concerns are when i should be using nutrients in veg and flowering stages, how many days of veg and how many days of flowering, also should i use 24hr light cycle for veg and then switch to 12/12 for flowering or go from 24/0, 20/4, 18/6 and so on all the way to 12/12?

Im a first time grower, so any tips/advice on growing is greatly appreciated, i will keep this thread updated when i can and hopefully have some pics. Thanks and happy toking to all

get some alaska fish ferts and dilute to a teaspoon per gallon and feed at about 6- inches...really dont need to feed until they get about 3 sets of leaves just use florescent lights at about 6 inches above them with a small fan blowing in yhe area and you will have a good start

I'f your using cfl's use more than 1 . use lots and lots, also i would go 18/6 for veg and 12/12 for flower. feed in veg after 4 weeks

Heres my baby at 2 weeks old, been keeping the lights on 24hrs i was wondering if i should switch to 18/6 or stay 24 til flowering, also any1 have any idea what strain this is lol?

U can start adding nutes..1/4 strength work your way up..weaker will be safer and less headaches than mixed stronger and results with burning,18/6 for veg.12/12 for flowering..keep us posted.

You will definitely need to repot it. The rule of thumb I have seen from a lot of people is you need at least one gallon of soil for each foot of growth.

Most people flower in 3 gallon pots, 5 gallon buckets, etc...

hmmm... looks like im in some trouble here.. ive started my plant from seed to now in the same pot and im afraid i might disturb its root system if i dig it up, how can i transfer my plant without harming it or stressing it out to much?

If its a plastic pot you can try cutting it with scissors but it doesent look like it from looking at your pictures. Flip the plant over and place your hands at the base and keep tapping the bottom until the shit slides out.

Tips ok. vegging 6500k color spectrum 24 hours a day. flowering 12/12 2100 to 2700k color spectrum, dont over water, every foot high you grow requires 1 gallon container for roots. 3ft plant needs at least a 3 gallon container, Dont over love your plant, dont touch it just let it grow, 2 weeks befor giving any ferts. HPS best for flowering MH or floros best for vegging, LEDs suck ass, perfect temp 75 to 78 degrees farenheight. Low humidity, they are gonna reek, dont tell any1 even your moma. Walmart has everything you need cheap.
