Hey there fellow stoners, Got my seeds from Attitude Seed Bank, they came in 2weeks ago. I germinated 2 seeds; photoperiod OG13 and an Auto Ak..
I got them sprouted on thursday but there was a misunderstanding with my friend. I have the plants there and he had the lights on 6/18 not 18/6, just yesterday Sunday when I went to see the sprouted babies I notice the light off. Turned it on and now its on the right schedule. Its looking a little small tho and thin but tall. Any thoughts on what might happen to the plant, or is it gonna be ok since we switched the light schedule back.

Im growing in organic soil and under a 120w plant light, Im trying to decide if I should go with a 400w or a 600w, or just grow it under the sun. If I were to grow under the sun how far would the smell travel? Any tips any one can give me, much appreciated. What nutes should I get, Im thinking foxfarm, I see a lot of people using it. If anyone has a tent setup with a 400w or 600w they dont need or want to trade for a projector, let me know. or some great discounts on some website or place I can go to.

basic organic nutes will suffice.. as long as you check ph levels and dont over fertilise. A 400w will grow you one or two decent plants i grew a 5 foot, 8oz plant under 400w. Easy to setup, just have a fan, light and keep light schedule proper you can grow a decent plant in a small cupboard??

hey man, i have grown the auto ak, and some other auto's, biggest thing is lots of soil space - so biggest pots you can and minimum organic nutes/trace elements, dont transplant them, plant them into the pot they are going to finnish in if you can manage too ..... i dont grow auto's
outside - not that you couldn't do it .... as for the light schedule mix up dont sweat it .... your plants will recover, they have just maybe stretched a bit 'tis all ....

Im using distilled water at a ph of 7.0 the last time I checked, so far Ive had my friend water twice a day morning and afternoon. I did some research and found that my plant could be tall searching for light and it makes sense, he kept the light on only 6hours when it should have been 6hours off, :!: misunderstanding but I got that taken care of. The lamp gets really really hot tho, should I switch that out or am I ok for now. Im planing on putting the plant in a 5gallon bucket after it gets about 5in tall in about a week or two. Should I just do that now since I should have had them in there from the start, and another problem when will I be able to distinguish the difference my friend took off the labels :-(..

Forget using distilled water its pointless, you should PH your water to 6.5. I would advise getting the biggest HPS light you can, you will also need an exhaust fan to keep the temps down.

Transplant then into the 5 gallon pots in about a week or so.

its way to early for a 5 gallon bucket, you want to increase the pot size in increments

and I agree on the distilled water, dont bother with it.

Ok guys, I just got a 400w MH and a 600w HPS, working on getting a tent, fan, and carbon filter.. I still dont have any nutes and I prolly wont be getting anytime soon. Any ideas on some natural replacement or a website to get a complete package of what I need. I want to use FF trio, any thoughts? or Bio? I had an idea to use banana peels and found someone who used banana, orange, lemon and lime peels. He dried them into powder and mixed it with the water, good idea, bad idea? I have a smaller pot than the 5 gallon but bigger than the one the babies are in, I can put the plant into that before the 5 gallon.

Update: Thinking about getting general organics go box for this first grow, let me know if you've tried it out, was the go box enough to go thru the full grow. Let me know whats up guys, I know what Im doin book worm wise but this is my first experience growing.

Your more than welcome Sly, I should be getting some pics today, I only go every once in a while, I had some paranoid questions, If I were to use the 400w MH without the fan ducting cool air in, how hot is it going to be getting in the room? Are cops gonna see the heat thru infrared cameras? When should I worry about the smell? Im still working on getting a tent and carbon filter..

how big is the space? Also, you should not worry about the infrared cameras, definately not for just a 400w. As for the smell that varies on strain.

Hey guys I also have 1 plant of the og13 from og labs I brought the a few seeds from attitude and got a freebie I'm not a big time grower or anything but just love a smoke most days :) so I grow my own every now and then. The plant is 3.5 weeks old looks ok I think. But any advise is good advise. I will try and put a couple pics up for yous guys :).

The space is about 5x4x5'10 its in a basement with a small window, the room is for storage, I currently have it under a 120w plant light idk what type of light. Im trying to get a 3x3x6 tent but still no luck im looking on craigslist.. I need to go see the plants and update some pics for you guys. Also working on the nutes, theres not enough hours in the day to do everything.. and how about the 600w and 1000w together to total 1600w, what do I really need to be worried about when it comes to the altered laws of the original constitution..

Is it ok by now to put it under the sun, it sprouted on the 14th of this month.. Any thing I can add to the soil for it to get the nitrogen it needs until I get the nutes?

you dont really need to add nutes until a few weeks in. Yeah sun light is great for it. Post some pics when you can.:bigjoint:

Alright guys, I have some bad news but not so bad it ends the grow.. I haven't gone to see the plants in 2 weeks, I got a job at a factory and just havent got the time like I used to. However I did go yesterday to check the babies out and to my shock they are still the same as I last saw with a growth of about 2 more inches..:wall: Long story short, my friend pulled the plants away from the light (plants were sitting on boxes and an icebox.. beach season, that icebox was taken)...... As soon as I saw them I was sad/happy bitter sweet I guess, they were still alive thats all I cared about at this point.. took them home after letting them sit in the sun at 99degrees and put them under my 400w at dim 250 for the past 12 hours and now for the next 6 hours I'll have them on 400w superlumens (dimmable ballast).. Does that superlumens on the ballast make a difference? and how much is the electric bill going to come up to with the 400w at full power 16 or 18 hours on a day?

The pics on top was when I set that up for 250w
The pics on the bottom were this morning after the 12 hours, I switched it to 400wSL I'll have more pics updated more often since I took the plants now..
