Anyone trying to learn, google SOG, "Sea of green" for a faster yieald.
Or as in my country where it's only leagel with two plants, google SCOG, "Screen of green"
>>580053007
where you from dude?

It is not for faster yield, just to get more from 1 plant, also look up "screen of green"

>>580053273
>>580053129
I mentioned screen of green in the post you refer to, and a sog can be put in bloom after 3 weeks when you normaly start cutting your plant.. So idk what you are talkinging about

I just put seeds in moist paper towels, usually 24 hours later they've cracked open.
>>580053820
nothing challenging about a small container. I've grown a lot of plants in small yoghurt cups just from lack of things to do.
>>580053820
where was we?
>>580053843
same, it is the safest way, especially when you pay for seeds
wet paper towel, put seeds in, put in baggie on top of dish reciever or cable box for warmth, normally in 2 days they pop
>>580053946
>>580053995
You don't really even need to put the seeds on top of anything warm, sometimes things get too hot and the seed can go bad.
How would you conceal the smell?
>>580053928
>yoghurt cups
for contests at the forums?
>>580053715
If you have a SOG you have a lot of topps, if you just do 2 plants and wanna cut them to get the same yield, it will take longer time.. But sure, if you don't cut the plant and rest with a bare minimum yield, they will ofc take both as long.. But I'm comparing cutting a plant vs sog, same amount of yield.
Agree?
>>580054159
Inline fan and an activated carbon filter, best way. You can also use products that "remove smell", Ona brand products work pretty well, but in the long run they're pretty expensive.
>>580053995

a single flowering plant can produce tremendous smells even WITH carbon filtering
during harvest or close to it shutting off the filter would result in a pungent smell that permeates the whole house and probably your garden too.
on a hot dry day the smell can stay in a certain area and build up to levels where you cant ignore it unless you are utterly ignorant about mj .
with carbon filters and a solid air tight setup the smell is minimal . combined with a chimney as exhaust smell is a non issue
so we've got sticky icky trichomes appearing on the buds...

Long story short
You are wasting your time and money by attempting a stupid two plant cfl grow. It's much easier and likely much much better quality to just go out and buy a nice ounce. I wouldn't even consider growing unless it were at least 10 plants in a proper room with hps lights

you're the dude that had a PCK plant. I have one a few days from harvest.
>>580056713
implying the nutrients just travel through the root system and into the plant. You're not flushing anything, you're just starving the plant.
>>580058790
i said they are easy to build, not easier. it's not really hard all you need is some buckets, airstones, waterpump or both.

you don't need any of these pics though. OP did nothing new.
>>580059061
Yep, just lurking a bit this morning.
I had 3 distinct phenos from my pack of PCK, nice taste mellow high, but not that strong.
>>580059184
not sure if flushing really works but it's useful to do when you want to grow right after harvesting so nutrients wouldnt burn young plants. 2-7 days is okay
thanks op
>>580059236
seed germination thru seedling stage 3 to 4 weeks
flowering on 12/12 light cycle 8 to 12 weeks depending on strain type
approx 1 month at least for drying to get a good taste from your buds

it's like you have no idea what you're doing
>>580060074

it should not be colder than that, if it is it will slow down growth, if you are growing outdoors the main thing is getting seeds that will finish before it gets too cold
pretty cool thread, OP, howevery, i would sugest something to get you up to 2 ounces a plant, you grow similar to me,
however i make a scrog screen, and grow in coco coir, perlite, and in air pots,
this acts as a hydroponic medium but still treaded and water fed as it is in soil like in your images, this and scrogging and training can squeez an extra ounce outa your plants,
:D
nice thread
>>580060232
the guide he posted was using chemical ferts, that is why the flush, if organinc no flush is needed

What would you change given the new technology available now ?
Nice thread yall and OP.
Still waiting for that gathered collection.
But a starting grower here, usually the plant takes 8-11months to grow right? But to keep it in a jar atleast a month and other time consuming things, it takes 12+ months to grow one patch?
And some picture mentioned about summer ending etc. so which time of the year is best to start growing?
(Really to pretty cold where I live all times of the year. Going from -30C to 25C.)
>>580062458
it is very basic
get Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible from Jorge Cervantes for more details, probably the best beginners guide

Mmmmmmm.. Youall dingily dont think im a redhhneck`mmph.. EY BRANDIINE.. THIS SOME WHITEBOY MAKING FUN OF US.. GET MY GUN
>>580051741
this is bad advice. As important to the amount of light is the quality and color spectrum of the light. CFLs have a shitty spectrum and poor light intensity. If you're going to grow under fluorescent (which is generally kind of a bad idea) you should be using a T5 grow light (a quick google search will bring up several for under $100).
Really, even a little closet grow like this should be using an HID light, preferably High Pressure Sodium. Two plants will do just fine under one 100-150w hps light. You can pick up an HID grow fixture for about $50.
You will produce more and it will be higher quality. If you have specific questions about light spectrum or technology I can answer those.

Also the torrent of the book i put up, its decent, kinda hard to navigate and i wish it was in my own language, but not bad for a freebie.
>>580063812
Dude, you're gonna have small buds, and less yield.
You put it in flowering stage too late, that's what happens when you do.
Also, sativa.
Indicas are smaller plants.

OP's grow was done under 180 watt cfl with a 80% white during veg and a 80% red during flowering
how would you improve on this using HID without increasing detection and fire risk?
>>580064343
$15 for 6400k CFLs
$15 for 2700k CFLs
$10 for CFL sockets/bases
=$40
he Sun Systems 150w HPS grow reflector is $55
For an extra $15 you can have quality light. Yeah, CFLs are just bad advice.

By decreasing power usage by about 30 watts and using a fixture designed to channel heat.
see
>>580065193
>>580065114
that pic goes instead of the one that says "flushing"
>>580063796
no it's okay im using appropriate nutes. myco really helps with root rot and grow. cheap way to increase yeild and decrease amount of work.
>>580065383
>By decreasing power usage by about 30 watts and using a fixture designed to channel heat
soooo, a cfl with spiral design then?
>that's kinda why they were made...
When plants are experiencing stem growth, they are sensitive to blue light with wavelengths between 430 to 450 nm.
When plants are flowering they are sensitive to red light with wavelengths between 640-680 nm.
Stem growth is important, but not nearly as important as flowering growth. Since the spectrums on those CFLs suck, you aren't getting much light in those specific wavelengths anyway and that "white" CFL isn't doing much good.
HPS puts the majority of its light out in a red-shifted spectrum with a large portion of its light between 640-680 nm.
Also, "bare bulb" grows waste more than 50% of lumens put out by the bulb. You're lighting you ceiling and walls as well as your plants. A reflector directs about 90% of that light onto your plants.
i support this thread
>>580065968
A CFL is a bulb, not a fixture. This grow suggest bare bulb CFLs with no fixture.
Fluorescent lights don't put off a ton of heat. The spiral design in CFLs is to ensure even light distribution and create a lamp that fits in common fixtures. It has nothing to do with heat dissipation.
>>580066246

Check out the Cyclopix Greenbeam or the Sunsystem LEC setup. Both of those areless than $500 and will get you a 315w Phillips CMH Agro bulb on your shit
