I had one large (14) plant and 4 babies about 4 tall growing outside in a large pot only little over half filled with miracle grow veg. soil, the larger had not reached the stage where I could tell what sex it was.
Long story but had to move to unfinished, damp, leaky basement without any lighting for 4 days, when checked it was covered with white and red pistils. Now have it on an irregular lighting schedule. I am so mistreating it. Very basic on lighting as I'm a person that knows nothing about hanging lights and such. I have a 4 ft 2 bulb fluorescent (cool I think) hanging over it. I have a 2 ft 1 bulb (what ever comes with them) standing beside her and 1, 3 ft grow lite standing on other side. Ive got a 500 watt halogen shinging on it from about 5 ft. Have white poster board on two sides, also have a 150 watt spot light on it. Keep fan running during day, it bounces off opp. wall and keeps it moving pretty good.
Now in its 4th week of flowering I think (my how times flies when your high). To me she looks great (she's my first that I've ever not gotten paranoid about and pulled up). I've given her miricle grow and sprayed with a veg. bug spray. Read where someone said they remove large leaves to allow buds to get more light so Ive done that.
I started 4 more seedlings and closed off an area with black plastic. Keeping them on 2 4 ft grows and 2 cools, 24/7. One is growing twice as fast, although the others are hanging on. I lower the plastic at night to close them off from my little lady, plus put cardboard around her just in case and leave only the light on the little ones.
Again this is very basic and redneckish (and proud of it). Thing is guys and gals, Im a 57 yr old smokin nana. Ive never been able to see a plant reach even this stage so I dont know really how Im doin. Im probably not going to change my lighting system except to add some more grows and paint the walls. Cant control the humidity except through fan and an electric heater in winter that will keep it about 50. Is that too cold? I am also using the spot light for heat on the big girl.
Any cheap suggestions? Please be honest about my plant and lie like hell about my setup. thanks, judy (not my real name)
Ive tried to send plenty of pictures of the setup and plants.
