[Dontrell26]

Thank u brother!

Also the plant is about 3 weeks in and I plan on starting some sour turbo diesel and super cheese in the AM I want this operation to be plentiful!

subscribed. your plant could be started on 1/4 strength nutrients now. your plants would do best on a 18/6 light schedule 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness.

Welcome to

A little tip...

Get rid of the aluminum foil - it will create hot spots in the foilage because it has a tendency to concentrate light rather than scatter it. At the very least - turn the aluminum foil around so that the less shiny part is showing towards the light / plant.

The best and cheapest solution is flat white paint. Mylar would be my choice - and it is fairly inexpensive as well.

I am certainly not an expert on soil... so I will wait and hope that someone comes along and helps you with a feeding schedule.

Watch the humidity. BK's are subject to mold. Good ventilation and light pruning for air to move through the core of the plant helps.

Thanks every one the light schedule situation will be solved in the am when the depot store opens in the a m I will get a timer as far as the aluminum foil is there anything super uncostly at say a Home Depot I can get to replace it I have a lil (very little) budget I am giving myself this week and that's about 80 bucks and I was also going to get an exhaust fan to put on my Ben also. Please keep the response comin I am welling and able to do whatever it takes I love the help I feel like I have new family mentors lol thanks people

Never tried it myself... but there are growers on here that go into their local Walmart and purchase something called an emergency blanket in the automotive (IIRC) section. It is basically mylar attached to some backing that you can use to retain heat in an emergency.

It is very cheap and seems to work well.

 

[Dontrell26]

Cool thanks I think I know exactly what your talking about I will get later on today as for now I have created a "ghetto vent system" lol it's not pretty but it will do the job until I fix it fully haha

The best and easiest reflective material is Flat white paint. Flat white reflexs 75-85% of the light. Foil is in the 55%range. Even emergancy blankets reflex only 70% but they reflex 90% on the heat. Plus with paint, no creases. Heres an interesting link on REFLECTION.

 

[Dontrell26]

Does any one know what the temp should be in my box?

 

[Dontrell26]

Ok thanks I got a all white drop cloth I am putting in know hang around for pics

 

[Legit Spam]

70-80 is a good range, are you planning on flowering in that box? If so switch to 12/12 ASAP

 

[Dontrell26]

12/12 someone on here said 18/6 as u know I don't know much can u explain?
