Ok so tomorrow im going to buy this mini fan i found to blow the babies around to strengthen there stems and everything . do i have to put the fan on a schedual or is it just 24/7 ? and does it have to blow directly on them ? or next to them ? or what ?

Re: First timer , lst , scrog , stealth , cfl

you dont want the fan right on them you want it like blowing off the wall onto them so not to knock them down. im not sure about a schudule for fans. i have my fan running the same as my lights.

You can totally utilize this space for decent yields with proper lighting and proper ventilation practiced. I've seen many grows in limited space. Grow one plant, LST the hell out of it, ride it round the bucket or whatever, just keep tying that main cola down and parallel with the medium. You'll get a ton of "mini" colas in a banzai style grow

i was wondering if there would be a problem with the roots though

hey dont do the cup of water for humidity it doesn't even work like that, plus it atracted bugs, so more or less its just a pain in the ass in the end, i dont suggest it at all...but its up to you..

Re: First timer , lst , scrog , stealth , cfl

i think its overwatering . what do you think ?

 

[SuKaFr33]

Re: First timer , lst , scrog , stealth , cfl

u can never water a plant to much, unless your watering it everday..

might just be overwatering then newbie mistake ... but i guess you learn from your mistakes .
i really need to get a fan going in there because it gets too hot and the soil was drying really quickly

hey mr toke just came across your journal. sorry to hear about you sick plants. Have you checked the ph of your water?

Re: First timer , lst , scrog , stealth , cfl

How many days did it take for those plants to die? and also I would say, (and of course I could be wrong) that it could be a case of bad genetics in the seeds. you have no quality control in bagseed. So don't let it get you down buddy. Other plants look good, I subscribed to this, It will be interesting becauseI started my own grow around the same day as you

Re: First timer , lst , scrog , stealth , cfl

My first four leaves are turning yellow and drooping a bit, but all of the new leaves are very green and good looking. So I am hoping for the best. I hope you the best of luck, we have a very similar set up and would be interesting to follow someone elses progress. I am probably gonna start a new plant soon.
