a) someone else can help you with this one
b) The bulb in your picture is called a CFL or Compact Florescent Lamp. Those bulbs are fine as long as you use enough(you're going to want 2-4 bulbs per plant) and they are the right spectrum (use either Daylight or Soft White(Daylight is better for vegging and Soft White is better for flowering)
c) Imagine the dankest, most reeking bag you have ever had. It will smell more than that

Um, that's not my pic, just some random one I picked up off Google. Probably should've mentioned that. :/ How much money for a nice light enough to "power" 1-2 plants? I don't need any A-grade MJ, nor do I need obscene quantities of it, I just want a little relief on my and my g/f's budget. Basically, I'll settle for low regs/mids, as long it's smokeable and gets you high.

>>40582
Also, is it possible to get the plants straight into flowering stage, skipping the vegetative one? Like I said, I'm not looking for a rich, high yield or best quality, I just want something to smoke while I'm dry.

Being Swedish I would have thought you'd be familiar with IKEA. Buy a cheap flat pack unit.

>>40564
I've already checked IKEA, and the cheapest closet I could find was a PAX (which was a bit too small) for 675kr (95 dollars), and I really don't want the damn closet to be one of the most expensive parts of my grow set-up. I honestly though IKEA was cheaper than that.

Well if you're looking for a small operation and just grow 1-2 plants at a time and grow in garbage cans. They're simple to modify for growing.

>>40572
If you think that's expensive, you should see prebuilt special purpose growing enclosures. The prices on those are ridiculous.

If you really want a growing closet for real cheap, either hit up your local classifieds for a used cabinet or build one yourself. Look up the free section of craigslist or browse around freecycle.

use craiglist, go to recycling centres look for old wardrobe, then spend a couple of $$$ on getting some guy with a van to deliver it to your house, problem solved and you recycled

Wait until you get your own place and/or turn 18.

>>40568

agreed.

You want to grow weed out of nothing?

Plant them and come back in 3 months.

ok thanks, this was the response i was expecting.

>I have little or no money I am willing to spend
>no money I am willing to spend

Well the only option is to poke a couple holes in the ground where it stays pretty sunny and just hope nothing/no one gets to them.

If you want to be serious, get a job and move out of moms home. I don't want to seem mean but it's true.

They are DEFINITELY stretched. I'm 4 days into growing about 13 plants. Although 9 of 13 have sprouted as of yet, they aren't even half the length of a lot of your plants. I'd suggest 2 - 4 inches away from your light. But I have a UV bulb. So. IDK.

OP here
my bubbleponics system jus arrived, as you can see they are in jiffy pellets at the moment, anyone have info for moving them into bubbleponics and also how to get into the rockwool?

400W is definitely a waste of money (energy...) if you just have a few seedlings like that. most growers use floros for clones or seedlings and put them under HPS or MH once they're big enough to actually make use of the lumens you throw at them...

i put six plants into my bubbleponics system this morning.
three furthest from light are happy, other three drooped down.

pic related, two of the babies that drooped.

any suggestions? were they just to close or will they spring up soon? i am within a foot of the light now with the bubbleponics

OP here and im BUMPING for feedback on first grow attemp!!!

How do you think my babies look on their sixth day
and after first full day in bubbleponics?

pic related, sorry for pic, from phone. i just saw them for first time today.
they look content
the pellets are dry and some still drooping.

Depends what you mean by easy. Growing cannabis is as easy or as hard as you make it to be. Enjoy the ride and learn from experience.

With my logic, I would think microgrowing is harder than growing in any old large closet space due to size limitations. If you can manage to fit one good plant in the case, the basic fundamentals are the same. You are growing the same plant after all :D

>>40420
side-shot of the monster bush; you can't really see much since the branches are so tight

might want to force stretch them somehow...light or heat.
or go sea of green instead with a bunch of clones
you could still do scrog but as you can see it will take you quite awhile to fill up your whole grow

>>40425

>might want to force stretch them somehow...light or heat.

thanks, that's a good idea! i think i'll lower them a few inches. my temperatures are already pretty high at 86°F (30°C) sine i use a smaller fan for vegging...

SoG isn't really an option; i have too few plants currently. if i took clones from them i'd have to wait at least a month until they're big enough for flowering...

i'm currently vegging under 2700K lights since the 6500K ones i used in the first week are too weak now... i've ordered stronger 6500K bulbs, they should be here in a few days.

what do you guys think is a better spectrum to get the plant to stretch more; blue or red?

>>40544

don't make them stretch. Wait until they flower.

>>38944

rebumping for input on these plants :)

bamp.

BUMP give us a report!

just got back from 5 days out of town. I think my girlfriend forgot to water them, so they looked pretty dead. droopy, yellow, nasty. I'm going to replant them in new pots.

My plant suffers from sidewayitis.

Bump.

You need air circulation for the plants to rid their waste. Just enough so the leaves are slowly wiggling in the breeze.

If you plan on using CO2 you can just put a fan in there to move it around. Seriously think about this since your already set-up with completely enclosed light cooling.

If no C02 system you'll need to get some sort of fresh air in there. Hood leakage isn't enough.

>>40463
I'm not gonna do CO2, so yeah, I will need more air.

OK, so what is the best way to do this? The blower I have now is pretty overpowered to just blow across the plants. So my top blower is powering out the extra heat, and I will need some fans lower down to move fresh air in and old air out. BOTH air flows will need to be filtered.

So is there a way to send this all to one filter? I am assuming that my lower fans that wash over the plants can be done with smaller fans. But can I plumb that output into the duct carrying the heat from the light so that they can both vent into a filter?

Come on...BUMP! More tits to induce some help.

>still live with my nazi christian anti-weed parents

then don't grow

yeah its not worth the risk. trust me. just wait until you go to college or move out. then you can do whatever you want and won't have any restrictions.

Don't do it.
My mom found my pre-outdoor veg project many years ago(one of the fans broke down and started making more noise than usual) and since then it's impossible to get along decently. She also flipped out a lot more than i expected from such an event and decided to be biased and only trust anti-weed information sources.

And yes, when you grow it will smell of ungodly proportions, which will probably rub your christian parents in the wrong way.

It wasn't all misery that my mom found my grow op though as two months later customs officiers raided my room after they intercepted a letter from amsterdam filled with pot adressed to me. As mom already knew i was smoking she took their visit with ease.

Hm, well thank you then. I appreciate you all not making me feel like an idiot, I love it when people are mature. Thanks guys (:

Tell them it is a Jesus Palm.

OP u mad.

i was mad too when 7 of my feminized PP seeds turned hermie. but then i vegged the remaining ones under blue light and they turned out female, and flowered out just fine.

breeders have shown that environments play a role in the gender selection of a seed.

>>40519
i dont think any ones used light stress methods anymore,
look people buy fem seeds because it takes the stress out of finding males(lazy imo), the bullshit then becomes looked for hermies and eventually spending your time pulling of balls sacs.

>>40519

> 50% female 50% hermie

Perhaps, but the hermie gene is obviously recessive. Otherwise they'd all be like that by now.

If a hermie female pollinates another female that does not have the hermie gene, the end product will still only has one recessive hermie gene at most. While this would make them more prone to going hermie under bad conditions, the chances of them being naturally hermie are still no worse than a regular plant.

sorry to ask again but aspirin fem project?

OP here. I have never bought femenized beans because my favorite breeders do not offer them. I've grown DJ Short Blueberry, Cocoa Kush, Grape Krush and F13, as well as Nirvana Misty, Papaya and White Rhino. So far, no hermies, only true blue males and females. F2's and crosses abound, buying real beans is the bee's neez.

Lumens aren't what is really important. It's more-so the spectrum. You're going to to want 6500K Daylight/Full Spectrum.

Ideally you want a ballpark range of 100w per plant (actual wattage, not equivalent ). You'll need 5500k-6500k lights during vegetative growth (about 26w per plant will suffice, but more = better) and 2200k-2600k lights during flowering.

In CFL terms 5500-6500k lights are "daylight" bulbs and 2600k lights are "soft white" bulbs. If you could only afford to get one type of lamp, grab "soft white" because cannabis plants absorb more of that spectrum during flowering (where is matters ;D) If you could though, it's best to mix the color spectrum.
