Indica clone in soil with pictures

good info, do you know how much watts exactly the plant is going to need? I'm very confused with this part. I bought a 50 watt high sodium pressure, i forget if thats the actually name but i got the right one that everyone uses for flowering.

I'm not an expert at indoor lighting, but I do know that 50 Watts is not nearly enough. You should supplement with more bulbs. One of the experienced people here can help you with that.

sorry for the multiple almost same responses, i thought my post were getting deleted, thanks for the advice, u said that i should have the fan blowing across my plant, I'm actually going to just grow it in a bedroom, should it still blow across the plant? thanks for all the help so far

 

[AKgramma]

Yes, there should always be some kind of air circulation through the leaves, just like she would get if grown outdoors. You would also benefit from the air circulation. So sharing your bedroom with the little green lady might be mutually beneficial! ;-)

hey guys, heres some more photos, this is the start of week 6, i think the plant looks pretty good, always looking for advice to help? thanks in advance

 

[AKgramma]

It looks like you're doing everything right! Your plant looks happy!

you know what, so i saw a clear little spider on the plant near the top and i put all the lady bugs on, the spider was so much smarter then the ladybugs, it seemed like the lady bugs wouldn't even see it. one of them ran into the spider and nothing happened. i was waiting to see an epic fight lol

so i need some help, i bought these light bulbs, cfl 23 watts and this silver thing to put them in but i cant figure out how to put them in. any advice?

 

[AKgramma]

Can't tell you anything without a picture of the "thing" you're trying to use as a lamp. The cfl's I am familiar with just screw into an ordinary incandescent socket.

What does the other end look like? I've never heard of a twist-lock back. Those kind of cfl's are supposed to just screw into an ordinary light socket.

 

[AKgramma]

The lamp also looks different. Does is have a screw socket, or is it a push and twist, like an ordinary fluorescent light?

 

[AKgramma]

OK, I looked up a GU 24. This is a push and twist-style. It doesn't screw in. I am not familiar with either that type of bulb or the lamp it is supposed to go into. You might have to ask the people at the store where you bought it (take your receipts) to show you how to put the bulb in.

And then, you could read the instructions. ;-) It is possible you have the wrong lamp.

 

[curiousgrow]

yea ok im gonna go back, heres the pics though

 

[curiousgrow]

wat kind of bulbs should i exactly get and wat kind of lamps? or are my lamps good but not the bulbs? im so confused

 

[AKgramma]

Well, if you like the lamp, then you need the cfls that have a screw end like a regular lightbulb. You can find them in the same aisle as household bulbs. The common household cfls are probably cheaper than the GU's.

 

[curiousgrow]

but is the gu a better lightbulb for the plant? i was gonna get also one of those long tube lights, they didnt have any cfl ones though,, is there another type i could get that would be beneficial? or is only cfl could?

 

[curiousgrow]

thanks for all the help

 

[AKgramma]

I don't know anything about the GU. But if you find a lamp that fits them, and that's the way you want to go, then by all means, take the lamps back and get the lamps the bulbs fit.

Also, it doesn't hurt to have auxiliary lighting. Last night I installed a 6-bulb bathroom fixture along the back wall, in addition to the lighting I already had. I stayed with the same type of bulb (cfl) for economy's sake and to keep the heat level down, but some growers use a variety of bulbs to get all the needed wavelengths.

It's pretty much up to you what you want to use. Keep notes so you can compare this grow with your future grows and see which set-up works best for you.

 

[curiousgrow]

ok, im gonna keep the lamps and go get bulbs that fit, so i looked up auxiliary lighting, wat kind of auxiliary light is it?

 

[curiousgrow]

ooo, nevermind, i see you mentioned cfl
