Here to help... Ask me anything

Lol you have to tell me what you need help with..

Start with good genetics stick them outside and water them..
Use good soil or medium, and they will grow...

Oh sorry what season is it for you?
I did the same thing last year, I took clones and stuck them outside in spring they just flowered on me smallest damn plants ever...
But I had also stuck some very large plants outside still in veg they flowered too, but then the days started getting longer they produce new fan leaves, One leaf, followed by a set of three thats how they revegged.. If it's early in the spring they will most likely reveg on you...
I would say take them in a dark room or tarp them..


I have seen people use trash cans to force flower pretty cool idea...

But if you are in spring and they will reveg, If you think about you can harvest twice off the same plants if timing is perfect..I have done it before.. And I reveg all the time inside to keep the genetics alive...

u gt me all wrong....

what i needed to know is :

1. its been a month since i started flowering my clones.... now the light period has shifted from 11.30 hrs of light to 12.10 hrs of light..... my question is will they revert back into veg??? should i b taking them into a dark room so as to keep a strict 12/12

2. i dont know if the plant is hermi or gt pollinated from some wild weed.... how can i tell the difference???

thanks for checking out my thread.... appreciated

Probably because it's metal..
You need a intake of fresh air at the bottom and hot air going out...
And maybe your inline fan isn't strong enough I suggest 350+ cfm's...

So your using a air-cooled hood right?

I always suggest small ac's like window unit's, You can buy cheap one's at walmart for around 150..

That is if you rig it up..

also if you chose to do Co2 injection temps of 85 are ok...

Yah I definately think your right about the fan. Mine definately isn't strong enough so I went ahead and took your advice and ordered and fan that has 471 cfm's. I don't have the fanciest set up yet but I'm working on it. When it comes to the hood that might also be a reason that it is so hot because I have a Sun Leaf compact switchable ballast kit. It makes it a little hotter but I wanted it because of its size. And also... what can I buy that won't cost me an arm and a leg to create humidity in my closet?

I am a new user interested in the affects of different strains on the body/mind. My question is: does anyone have information on blending buds (in the bowl) for targeted results?

Master, can a CO2 supplemented room be fully sealed and require no ventilation? Also, if this is indeed possible, how difficult does it become to control humidity and temperature?

hey Erna, welcome to rollitup! i hear ur growing Arjan's Haze 1? I just ordered Arjan's Ultra Haze 1 today

I have a 400w HPS right now and a small punk ass fan blowing on it- my plant is suffering from very little air flow and too much heat. Its a good thing u ordered that other fan.

Yes, It has to be sealed, You use air chiller like they use in walk-in refridgerators And you air cooled hood also will take alot of that hot air out..

you can control the humidity by a dehumidifer

It cost alot of money..
It's just one of things, you have to save up for over the years...

Hey there, yah I've NEVER tried any Haze before that I know of so I'm very excited. We are looking to have a very trippy high lol. Since I was worried my closet might not be set up exactly right, I started off growing an unknown seed I got from a bag I had. I need to test the closet out before I put my good seeds in there. My plant is only a few days old and looks ok at the moment but time will tell! Us girls can do it too lol

Ya i was just like u a little while ago until I smoked some shit that made my brain laugh from a ticklish spot. Last time I smoked (couple of weeks ago) I just knew it was a sativa. never experienced ANYTHING like it. So I really didnt think there was that big of a difference between the 2 before but I just HAD to order a sativa. what kind of strains do u have? Im growing some Big Bang from Greenhouse and the Ultra Haze is on its way (also from greenhouse). if you need help with anything, just ask

i roll salad (different strains of bud mixed) spliffs and bowls depending on what strains of bud i have and how high/what kind of high i want ATM
some people disagree but personally i love a good blowl of salad with some nice kief dressing

thats what i've been wanting to do for a while now. what kinds of strains do u mix? and can you feel each individual strain take over? hows the high?

Hi there all, I'm new around here and was wondering if someone could help me, I'm two weeks into bringing up seedlings and everything is fine and dandy plant is very healthy but there seems to be something growing at the very lowest part of the stem, looks like white roots but growing out from the stem itself, which is rounghly a few mm from the surface, but that part of the stem was before coverered slightly with clay pebbles and no light was getting there.
I'm thinking that its just roots but wouldn't mind a second opinion? anyone???
I would post a pic but i can't find the damn lead for my cam. will do when I do!!

ok mate i got a question for ya.
Just started flowering a couple of plants and found out they are both female. yay is me
butt... i wana clone these babies to make it easier in the future. It seems tho there arent any branches for me to clone, all of em have nodes on the end of em. They are only 2 weeks in to flowering so maybe some cloneable branches will develop? Or are you suppose to only clone from pre-flowered plants?

once i mixed sour diesel and white widow and i got such a nice body buzz but a few bowls later my mind started going off, it kinda focused in on the body buzz and intensified and amplified it, it was really happy energetic high but it was over relatively soon and i just went to bed and passed out

iv had that a couple times in the past, its just roots
im guessing as the plant gets older new shoots of roots pop out the side of the stem
one of my plants had this on oposite sides of its stem and i could visibly see 4 layers of root soots on each side until it buried in the rockwool.
dont know why, doest seem to really be a problem, i just covered them with more pellets to keep light off

Hi there.

I've just germinated 5 seeds (48 hours ago).

They have sprouted small white roots (6mm or so) and are shedding their little shells.

Should I start adding my 250 watt light to them now? So far they have been germinated in a warm dark place for 48 hours and that's it. Today is their first exposure to any light at all (natural light is what they are getting and have been for a couple of hours).

I'm pretty up on the whole thing, but just need to know should I start with the artificial light right now or give them a couple of days with natural light (I'm in the UK - weather is not great or particularly sunny).

Many thanks!

for new seedlings id put a cfl over them for a week or so before i hit em with a 250, i just think a 250 is a waste of power for such small plants when you can run just a couple 26 watt 6500K cfl bulbs
for seedlings i find window light makes em bend sideways towards the window for more light

have a question about soil mix i have
gardeners gold soil(best soil at local nursery)
blood, bone and kelp meal
25lbs worm castings
peralite

if i mix all these up do i need to, and if so when, use a liquid fertilezer?
thanks for any help
LONG LIVE JERRY

Hey well I guess we are both in luck because I have a question that I hope you can answer! Shouldn't be that hard.... I have a "metal" grow closet that is a little over 6 feet tall and about 3 feet wide. I have a 400 watt MH light and even with a blower fan that sucks the air out of the closet and three 10 inch fans hanging inside I still can't get the temperature to stay below 85 degrees. It usually ranges between 83-88 degrees and thats with keeping the doors cracked open. If I were to close the doors it would probably get up to 90 degrees.I would like to be able to keep the doors completely shut for privacy reasons but I can't. The closet is in my basement which stays nice and cool around 60 degrees. Why can't I get this thing to cool down???

Metal is an good conductor of heat, but it holds heat even better. A simple solution would be to place some fans pointed at the outside of the box. This will convect heat away from the box. I would imagine if you hold your hand near the outside of the box, the air would feel quite warm, the more cooling on the outside of the box, the more heat will move from the inside, through the metal, and out to the atmosphere. I think.
