Hi, I,m a nebie and also sort of new to growing my own,,I have been doing the best with what I have and hopefully someone out there can help me grow a better plant with a better yeild.
I'm just gonna lay it all out and see who gets back with what so here goes.
On or about the 15th of November 08 I prinkled about 30 seeds into a coffe sauser and I covered therm with a couple layers of paper towles and kept them damp and in the dark.
3 days later the strongest and first to germinate went under my 40 watt tube lights that are situated very close to the soil ( about a inch awaway)
I keep them this way for about 7 days with 24-7 light on them.
Next I put them under my 400 watt haloid and they stayed there for 4 week on a 18 hour a day light,
At this time the plants are growing in miricle grow and they are in 2 quart plastic pots.
I keep the room between 70 and 80 with a slight breeze that stays indirectly on the plants as to make them wiggle just a little in the steady breeze.
After 4 weeks I put the plants under the 1000 watt haloid I reduce the time to 12-12 for a week and keep cutting it down to where it is 11 on and 13 off.
Now my plants are starting to get white hairs on them and I have transplanted them into 2 1/2 gallon buckets and have added some pedeilte balls to the soil, I added about 15%, the ph is right on, I tested it
So what do you think so far??????
Some of my questions are should I incress or decress the ph ballance in
the budd stage?
How often and how much should I be wattering
Is my light ok on 11 hours on 13 off
I've been adding 1 teasspon miricle grow plant food and 1 teaspoon miriclegrow bloom booster in each gallon of water is this ok ?

Hey Everyone, and Merry Christmas! I'm not only new here, but NEVER posted in a forum of any kind. Anyways, I have read in these forums and studied for approx 40 hours before i started work on my Closet grow. I have been really sucessful i think so far, my goals have been reached thus far also. I'm basically looking for helpful advice, new ideas, and any imput i can learn from. I have always wanted to do this for some time, and i'm giviner now. My setup now is as follows:
4 - 42W CFL (2 - 2700k & 2 - 6500k) Mounted on 45 degree socket splitters, under a nice big reflector attached to a pulley.
2 - 26W CFL (6500K ) Providing light to middle of plants
Closet is 3' x 5' x 7' tall, covered in Mylar.
A Fan causing indirect breeze, Timers on a 12/12, Ventalation
Temp ranges 70F to 87F Humidity ranges 35% -60%
Nutrients on stand by, Soil is your "typical perfect mix"
Waterings have been happening every 3-4 days depending on saturation.
Plant Statics:
Strain - Not sure, something from holland preserved for 25 years (I'm told)
Seed - Basically you'd call it bag seed.
6 of 6 germinated, 5-6 Chose a female sex, 1 chose Hermi
3 plants are 28 days old. the other 2 are 20 days old.
Hermi is now Mistle Toe.
All have begun to flower, one in particular at an excelerated rate.
They have all been on 12/12 light cycle from seed.
Am I on the right track here...
I want to post some pics, How do i do that?

Hmm. Veg stage- lightting should be 24/0 or 16/8.
I suggest some more 26- watt daylight cfl's equivalent to 100 watt.
The best i can tell you us to just read bro. Read all the post throughout this site. I've learned so much here in such little time.
To post pictures up, when you are going to post something, go to manage attatchments, make sure the picutres are saved to your computer. Upload them, and your golden.
Also start your own grow journal, people will help you out as you go along.
Good luck- magikal

hey guys. i just sprouted my first plants! i dont have a clue on what to do!

Hey, should have done some reading first before sprouting, but if your quick you could be ok.
1. Gotta choose a space....no light in, no light out. Needs fresh air in and and exhaust out.
2. You gotta chose your type of lights. Your options vary.
There are:
CFL lights,(compact floresents) (low heat producing)
Floresent tubes (even less heat producing)
HPS(high pressure sodium) (produces signifigent heat)
MH (metal halide) (produces signifigent heat)
HID (High Intencity Discharge) (produces signifigent heat)
Light spectrums to look for are 2700(K)elvin For flowering and 6500K for veging
3. You gotta have a timer(s)
4. What is your method of growing ie(low and small/Big and tall)
5. how much electricity are you willing to consume
6. Temps ideally to be 70F - 80F (in extreem cases down to 60F no lower and up to 85F no higher
7. Humidity should range between 40-60%
Hopefully this gets you started. Good luck

bagseed. Don't go spending money on a good strain for your first attempt. It's better to learn with something cheaper
Try bagseed out first, that way you can know what you're doing when you use seeds you actually spent money on
