Hello everyone. I have 2 plants that I am growing outside, they are about 3 inches tall. I have them in reg. planting soil, and watering them daily. I am going to be bringing them inside soon, but i wanted to know what the best lighting would be, and how big the plants need to be before, i start changing the lighting. I am new to this, so any help will be great, thanks

Welcome to the forum, be sure you do your homework before asking too many though.

Wow, outside now, I wanna live there. lol. Stop watering them daily or you won't have much too worry about, every three or four days should be sufficient. Are these in pots outside or just in the ground. you said in potting soil so I'll assume you have them in pots. How big you let them get before you start changing the light's depends on the height you have inside for growing. YOu could take them inside right now if you had the lights. Read some journals posted by folks using cfl's, may give you some ideas. VV

Compact Flourescent lights, the squiggle ones. SeeMoreBuds, a member of our forum wrote a book and used the cfl's. Got 8 oz of bud from three female plants. Humbolt has a cfl journal here, and is mention in the book, I think we even have a subforum for cfl's. Placed right and bought in the right spectrums they seem to do a good job.
Now, start a journal. Click on Grow Journals in the subject spot for any post, it will take you to that forum and the button on the top left will say like new thread or something like that. Remember to include pictures and share you plan as you get ideas of how you may want to proceed. VV

Welcome Maltese, we look forward to the help you will give the bs growers.
Hey fryzo, wow, 14 minutes and spider mites happen, good thing you stopped by. We can help with this problem, only because I have had them too.
A couple of things to be aware of. High temps and lack of air movement increase the chances for a mite infestation. It takes a few applications of insecticide to get rid of them. Most of them contain Neem Oil, about 3% of the Ingredients. Spray your plants with it paying special attention to the underside of the leaves, that is were the eggs are. DO it again 3 days later and then once more at the end of a week. From that point on weekly maintanance should stop them from coming back.
If you are in it for the long haul, you can make your own insecticide and save some money. 1 tblsp Neem Oil, 1 tbslp Liquid (Unscented) dish soap, and one gallon of tepid water. Mix them together. If the Neem doesn't seem to be mixing the water is too cold, warm it up a little. I bought an 8 oz bottle of Pure Neem Oil for $7.95 a year ago January and $2.00 for the dish soap. Since the 8 oz bottle produces 16 gallon of spray.........
Hope this helps. VV

Welcome to the forum Pops, sounds like you have a good start. The lights will need to be upgraded if you want to get any kind of yield. start a journal and put some pictures in there. Read 3 or four journals that sound like the kind of space you have. Ask questions in thier threads if there is something you are not sure about, they will be happy to answer your questions. Does the nick mean you fit in our age group? VV

Thanks for the info. but I have no camera yet so I can't give good info for what I am doing. Age group? That depends, LOL... I am just no young pup
What would you say about up grading the lights I can't afford much but what would you suggest? I go with?

Its the over 50 group Pops. I would say check with the folks using cfl's. I haven't used them and so I haven't done any research on them. They are not that expensive and you can get them close to your plants. Goota phone that takes pictures? VV

Not quite new to the scene, but I just started a thread here, so I thought a "Hello" was in order, that, and I just found this thread...
Anyway, I'm a medical patient, and I grow for my own personal use. I've converted my bedroom closet into my little factory. I have a couple of hid lights in there,and am working with AK-47 and Skunkberry at the moment. I have a system of bubble buckets, about 5 gal each, and theres 2 plants in each bucket. fun times!
This is my first venture back into the world of growlogs and forums since my days on og.com. The man might be able to take down one site, but we'll just put up ten more!
If ya got a second, take a look at my grow thread, I'm really trying to keep on top of this journal this time, so hopefully it can be entertaining.
