I have been looking into the theory of using alternative lighting with high UV concentration.
Well since im kind of tight budgeted I decided to use my two blacklights that were just collecting dust. I am using them on an Auto-AK47.
The only shame is I do not have another budding plant to...
The problem I have with most of those store pots.. the roots on a marijuana plant go deep... not wide.
So you need a deep pot more than a wide one... could be 15 inches wide but how deep is it?
dont pick off the leaves whatever you do,
your plant sucks all the nutes and water from those leavrs to save the ones that are still green.
It could be so many things... if its just the older leaves dying that is totally normal.
If not Im sorry just cant tell you whats wrong without seeing...
yup... good that you took note.. she will def droop when your roots start to bind.
Now that you have her in a bigger pot she should be alright.
You wont see her leaves go up right away... sometimes it happens but many times it can take up to a week or more to start perking up.
Your plant will...
Really need to see some pics... pathetic in what way? Is she flowering? I wouldnt top it honestly...
these auto's have such a short life span youd probably loose alot of yield. Mine was looking small for a while but she fattened up.
quick comment... you dont really need to mist your plant anymore...
its mature enough I'd just strictly feed it through soil, its still looking droopy from overwatering... or maybe its still recovering.
One if the best ways to know if your plant is happy is by the leaves. Upwards is a...
hah Ive never heard of any certain spectrum of light that will hermie your plants.
Honestly man... I would love to have seeds from this plant... christ its 20 dollars for 1 feminized auto-47 seed. I almost wish I had a male plant at this time.
I mean it was more of an experimental plant in...
Stating to get orange hairs on the top. I am also putting black lights on it during what was its dark cycle... just for fun I guess.
I havent done my research on what spectrum the blacklights hit exactly but I see no way its going to effect my plant negatively.
well its not bad for the health... but if you dont think you have 5-6 feet of verticle space well then id start flowering right away, the more you veg the bigger its going to be in the end. I would personally start her on 12/12 now unless you want a really tall plant.
Well I see red stems on the fan leaves... sometimes this can be the strain but most of the time
it means your plant is stressing from temp's. I would get a thermometer and see what you got going on.
Is it on 12/12 yet? I would transplant into a 5 gallon bucket... or pot if you want to pay...
It is possible to grow in a small dimension like that... its called Lowryder, its an autoflowering strain.
I've seen some people grow them in a plastic cup through its entire life and pull off like 10 grams from it.
Thats the only thing I can think of, I get like dieselryder or blueryder...
Need more info... you got 5 cfls you say? lots of stretching going on, seems like it needs more light.
Or maybe you need to move more lights directly above it.
I really need to see how your lights are positioned.
How often do you water?
Are you feeding it any nutes?
What is the temp in...
People seem to love hacking their plants... not talkin about you but people in general...
Honestly it doesnt make any difference in yield so I just leave my girls natural.
Maybe towards harvest cut a few fan leaves to get light to the buds but thats it.
I would just leave it man...
yeah man the way my girls are drinking... no way twice a week would do it. They stay around in the high 80's which isnt really what I want
but have no choice heat rises and my own location is the attic, so I put fans on them and lots of water and they grow fine.
Yeah dude thats total BS. Go with lowryder, only auto seeds I trust.
My lowryder#2/Ak-47 started at around day 15 under 18/6 and 25 days later it now
has a nice cola and lots of popcorn buds.
Lowryder has the most stable auto plants in the biz in my mind.
If you want her to stretch out bud just put it in a larger pot, that pot is too small.
Do not water every day, only when the soil is dry atleast 2 inches deep. If you
start flowering it now you wont yield much. It looks over-watered though and that would be
your growth stunter.
I would...
