First indoor grow, suggestions?

[vxscott18]

It does look good i'll have to look into that but right now I don't have an extra $250.

[vxscott18]

purple sativa and the other purple seed look like they're germinating better now, so i think they'll be alright. Im going to start off the purple sativa indoors then bring it outdoors for the rest of the time. Isn't purple sativa better outdoors?

[Kwsmoke]

yeah sativas thrive outside, and I've actually never seen a 100% purple sativa grown indoors. But unless you live in the southern hemisphere or in the tropics, it'll be too late in the year to put her outside.

[vxscott18]

well i do live in the south, but do you still think its too late

[Kwsmoke]

South US?

If so then yeah, it's probobly too late to go outside. If you're in like deep south TX, like brownsville then you might have a chance but i doubt it.

If the first freeze comes before she finishes you can always bring her inside, but if it's a true purple strain then she'll be pretty big and can take up to 3 months to finish.

damn then i guess i just wasted a seed

[Kwsmoke]

no way, dont give up yet.

It'll be tough, but with a mix of LST and forcing flowering the moment preflowers show it might just work... maybe.

[vxscott18]

ill still try it, but while germinating it got a little bigger so i went to put it in a paper towel between 2 plates and the root like came off some, i donno why it was so soft i didnt even mess with it. oh and whats LST btw

[Kwsmoke]

LST or low stress training is basically bending your plants. Once the plant has like 4 nodes, you lean the plant and tie it down just under the first node. Do not break the stem, just try to make sure you arent bending it at a harsh angle.

Look up some threads for pictures and more detailed instructions.

[vxscott18]

ok ill do that, ill prob have to do that with the white widow when it starts growing in my box

[vxscott18]

ps. im thinking about getting this soon

[Kwsmoke]

Hell yeah man, that looks real good. That price isnt bad at all either.

[vxscott18]

yeah hopefully ill have it soon, but i have a question about my mids plant outdoors, the top bud is turning brown...

heres a few more the others look fine

sorry if they're kinda blurry

[Kwsmoke]

hmmm it looks like it might be a type of mold but I can't tell for sure. How did they feel?

[vxscott18]

it was kinda soft and the other ones are kinda soft too, but it started turning brown like a few days ago i thought maybe it was from ph change or something
