New to growing

[Guest]

Anyone live close to me? I'm ready to see some green growing. I know someone said don't use the 707 mix of soil, but it's what I got so I'm gonna roll with it.

I was just informed by the wife that I won't be able to grow yet. I have to take her to Boston in the beginning of May for a vacation and a concert. That would put me close to the end of the first grow. I got no one to take care of the plant while I'm gone. That's sucks!

It's an idea but what if u rig up a water pump like 300L/h type and run lines to ur plants and set a timer. So it can self water while ur gone if need be?

[tyler_ hobbyist]

I do this with 3, 200l/h pumps and set the timer for 1 min every 3days in veg

My God your a genius. I work on Bobcat equipment. Some of the engines use a 12V fuel pump. Maybe I can rig one of hose up.
I also got the hook up from a good friend today. He's giving me a OG Lemon Kush. It's already started in plant form. Not a auto though so I guess I can experiment with it. Any input on what to do with the setup I have would be great. Can't afford to change what I've got right now.

Do you know if it's feminized. Maybe you should put it on a 12/12 schedule already that way you will be able to harvest before you have to go on vacation..

Photos and autos need the same set up the only difference between photos and autos is. Photos need 18/6 or more light for veg and will only switch to flower when 12hours of light and 12hours of darkness is made. You can keep a photo in veg for like 6 months or more if you wanted to. Just remember once u do the switch the plant will double in size by harvest.

[tyler_ hobbyist]

Once u switch to 12/12 lighting, what ever you do, DO NOT LET ANY! LIGHT INTO YOUR TENT as this will turn ur plant into a hermie. The buds wount be as strong and u will also have seeds thro ur buds and one hermie/ male will turn all females into hermies or males

[tyler_ hobbyist]

Is ur plant a clone or a true plant?

[tyler_ hobbyist]

U should post a pic once u have it

I'm trying to find out more info now. I don't have any extra nutes to give it yet.
He said they grew them from seeds in a bag of OG Lemon Kush he had last year.

[Guest]

Can it be done without extra nutes? Is it possible to remove some of the soil after 4 weeks and replace it with some new soil to gain nutes back? Without disturbing the plant. I'm going to get it at 5 tonight. I will start the light cycle in the morning. I haven't got a timer yet or phone up down liquid yet. I'm going to do a test on my well water to see whatthe ph level is.

[tyler_ hobbyist]

U dnt need extra nutes they will grow without it. Nutes are just a booster for optium conditions.
