@50 days, how do/should i fix my light leaks?

 

[sunnyside]

what is at 50 days? the construction of the cab...or the plants? if its the plants you have more to worry about than light leaks lol...
you can find weather stripping at home depot, or any hardware store...that usually does the trick!!!

Good luck

 

[skroddumb]

theyve been veggin for about 50 days including seedling time, theyve been sprouted for atleast 35 days. what should i do?

 

[dubmantx]

might have to frame the door which is pretty easy too. And if those plants are 50 days old then they are pretty small.

 

[skroddumb]

i know id figured theyd be bigger by now, theyres not much headroom in there.
im wondering if i need a root stimulator, cause everything else is perfect.
these genetics i am using are top notch from colorado.

 

[sunnyside]

start over lol.....
not trying to discourage you but I'm not sure if those plants will pull through.

First...some will say I am wrong here, but those lights dont work very well at all. Small cfl's are ok for seedlings and small cuttings, but not even close to sufficient for plant growth.
Second....do you have any kind of air exchange in the cab? if not, the plants WONT grow.
third...NEVER USE aluminum foil to reflect light...it doesnt' work lol

get yourself a good book... preferable the Indoor Bible

Keep you head up...if there is a will there is a way

it doesnt matter if you feed them the best nutes in the world and they are the finest genetics ever found...if the enviroment isn't what the plant needs...you wont get much in return.

mylar, 150w hps, 2 cfl's, ovrwatered/nuted in beginning, thus stunting growth, they are 5 weeks old. they are def under a bit, but they will most definitley pull through, they are vigorous, and stinky. just a lil root stuntin cause i ddint transplant till 4th week of growth as well. first time starting from seed, other times ive gone with clones, work was already dont for me. plus my setup has quite a bit of light penetrating the canopy, and i dont want alot of bush, cause i dont have a lot of room. i have a 70cfm exhaust fan moving the air. getting a 250 cfm vent fan this weekend for flower.

 

[sunnyside]

sweet skro...that 150 will do just fine by itself...i'm not sure the cfl's will do much good. What are the temps like?

mmm..what kinda nutes? They look nice and green...just sooo stunted. That's why I suggested starting over...but if I know you can get them to pull through, with just a little love.

mylar...looks like foil to me lol

 

[skroddumb]

lol. yeah the cfls are in ther to add blue spec... im trying to make my own agro sun style hue, lol.
yah heres some ones of them today... the temps are around 80. eek i want em at 78, but i need that extra exhaust fan, but i dont want the box to look more shady! if you know what i mean, heheh. stealthy-ness gets thrown out the window when you have to make sacrifices.





the lil guys are maricusa plants, my buddy grew 20 in yogurt cups and yielded a gram from each plant, of the strongest pot ive ever seen, it looked like play doh.

 

[skroddumb]

i wish they would get bigger faster!
should i put these guys into flower and get it over with and order a bath of new seeds?
wanna help me out?
GrowDoc has been helping me along the way.
im still a newbie. theyre on 18/6 in foxfarm light warrior, dosed em once with 10-10-2 guano, and a tiny dose of foxfarm big bloom, and a tiny tiny dose of bc bloom cause its got everything in it, even shit for veg.

 

[sunnyside]

im helping arent I lol...ok srry for being sarcastic lol

first off...quit giving them all that shit...it is too much for a new grower to grasp.

step 1. Take them out and flush the hell out of them. so we can start over lol
step 2. let them dry out
step 3. feed them a gentle GENTLE dose of a veg nute..foxfarms grobig works well for beginers.

thats enought to keep ya busy for a couple of weeks..we are all here to help

If it were me I would ditch those cfls SERIOUSLY...they are contributing jack squat to you spectrum... and they are creating heat too...

 

[sunnyside]

if you try to flower those now you wont get but a half a joint between the both of them....give em some more time...do what I said to do...and start some more seed in t the meantime.

 

[skroddumb]

nooo i gave them that awhilo ago, and thats what stunted the growth!
i have flushed since. they are getting a new node a day is that bad?
lower flowers are popping out as well.

 

[sunnyside]

what stunted the growth

 

[skroddumb]

the guano i believe too much N

 

[sunnyside]

step 3. feed them a gentle GENTLE dose of a veg nute..foxfarms grobig works well for beginers.

QUOTE]

thats why I said GROW BIG...not GUANO..lol

if you dont have a good grow book...get one!!! the Indoor Grow bible preferably

 

[skroddumb]

i have mel thomas - cannabis cultivation - hes very discreet.

looks like im off to worm way for grow big. lol.

 

[sunnyside]

its cheap bro...most shops have it for less than $15 for a quart (which will last for years)

 

[skroddumb]

i one of the cf's out, see how the temp does. the other ill leave cause the lil guys are in a dark spot. ill get rid of it tomorrow and raise them up and test the temp again.
