1st Grow, need tips and advise

[GranDadPurpler]

Ok so should i rotate the plant when it starts bending toward the sun

I got some orange haze with black tiger stripes on the seed.

Alrightt gbb,thanks

 

[exploziv]

yes, you can rotate them from time to time to get an uniform light distribution on the plant, but if you have enaugh light, it's also ok if you don't move them.

almost all cannabis seeds have stripes, so it's not something particular or interesting.

and please don't bump the thread when is active enaugh already, and try to use the edit button if you need to ad something to a post, rather than line 2-3 messages, one after another. thanks.

Ok so how about some1 give me a list lke nutes nd fer ,cause ima buy it tommarrow.lmk asap bump


I was reading around nd found yukons trash can scrog is the way to go for ,me, very stealthy nd good for the type of situation i am in, lol

Where i live though is very hot nd muggy what should look out for?

 

[exploziv]

the nutes you buy would depend on what you can find at the shops or where you plan to shop and the budget. i guess you could look around here at grow threads and try to remember what others are using, then go to the shops any buy the ones you can find.

if it's really warm, I'd recommend you to plant in soil, a container would get too hot and you would need to protect it somehow from the outside heat. roots don't like to get too cold or too hot.

 

[GranDadPurpler]

Usal temp is 80 to 85. nd no to the trash can?

 

[exploziv]

it ok, just don't keep the can in full sun when it's too hot and keep soil a bit humid at all times.

 

[GranDadPurpler]

alright im going to the store now, nd let u guys know what they have ill keep u posted

 

[Elsweeto]

I don't know if you went to the shop but if you haven't I'd suggest you get organic nutes they are more forgiving of mistakes

Is 10-5-5 good? Add cow munuer

I have blood meal n bone meal wat else

 

[Elsweeto]

for veg mine is 8-2-6. so get something close to that.

 

[GranDadPurpler]

Dynamite 18-6-8? Feeding?

 

[GranDadPurpler]

 

[Elsweeto]

so is that soil fert free? if it is I would mix about a third perlite into it no more because you want the soil to hold some water.
go to the organic soil forum to find recipe for the blood/bone meal.
the thread is a sticky called organics for beginners.

 

[GranDadPurpler]

need a mixin reciepe, thnks guys ima go look now. Wat about the fish fert? Just bought a bag of cow manure nd organic compost. 5-5-5

 

[hotboxes]

Here check this out I'm sure it will give you some ideas on different mixes and what you might already have laying around. https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=53792 remember to look around make sure that going organic is exactly what u want to do there might be an easier way for you, you wont know till you explore all your options. just a thought

 

[GranDadPurpler]

just got done mixing four gallons 30% p 4 teaspoons of blood nd six of bone in cow manure with organic compost. does ne one know wen i should use the fish fert?

 

[White Tee]

...a little tip from a fellow new grower:

Look up the "lift method" on watering, it is so easy to over water on your first grow

Happy gardening

 

[Mr Pengra]

Looks like your thread really took off Grandad.

As for your question about when to use the liquid fish emulsion... What are the numbers on the fish fert? And how strongly concentrated is it? What is the ratio of fish fert to gallons of water?

If it has a decent amount of nitrogen then you'll probably want to use it mainly during the veg phase, and maybe thru the first few weeks of flower if your plant's growth starts to slow and it loses vigor.

 

[Mr Pengra]

I just noticed that you have a bag of cactus, palm, and citrus soil... If its the type of mixture I'm thinking of, its probably going to be much too sandy for cannabis roots to thrive in. a small amount is probably fine but I wouldn't use it as filler.

Good choice to go with the bone meal, I've found that it works excellently when added to the soil before planting and then as a top dressing during the first weeks of flower. It's high in both calcium and potash, calcium for a strong stalk and firm branches that support the weight of heavy buds, which is the work of the high potash content.

 

[GranDadPurpler]

Thanks pengra, i got this instead, nd theres this one at the shop tht ima also get,

I also got super thrive

I went with

CM 45%
Perlite 30%

Blood meal 4 ts,

Bone meal 6 ts, nd hand mixed the soil.

Two ts, then mix another two ts, nd repeat,

Do i have to let it sit or can i put seeds in the soil,

i just did it yesterday nd i used rain water for the 1st soak

nd how do i use the fish em? Diluted in a watering can?
