8.5 feet and no bud (5 months)

Welcome to the forum, Joe, love your setup!! You got those three chairs set up so that you and friends can watch the beauties grow!!
 
The thing about the articles on the GWE site: they are definitely not boring!! They are very clear and extremely helpful, as intergalactic_harvester mentioned above. If we lived in the kind of society where we could gather together and learn "hands on" from each other, the knowledge would get passed on orally. But, most of us are pretty stealthy and secretive about our grows, so reading becomes a necessity if you want to learn how to do this really right.
 
Awesome I'd be willing to invest 250 for the holy plants. I have a frinds who has a friend the sells special cannabis soil. Lights I would like suggestions and as well as for the tent. Nutritions I got from a basic flower shop. Is 5here anything I'm missing?
 
No when I turn off the lights it's pitch dark. Cuz there is a room the leads to the room and so I close both light and close the doors. But I think the tent will be good for the heat because right now it's around 23c on the top and 16 one the bottom
The problem is how do I get good air circulation when out making things too complicated
 
Yeah that's what people have been telling me here but I'm on the quest for a new lamp any suggestions?
And thanks this site kicks ass
 
Changed the setup a little

Light does seem to be a problem, check out some other grow journals to see what I mean by they are stretching much more than most growers keep especially with how thin the trunk is, are you using any nutes?
 
Welcome to the community Joe. From the pics I've seen I would say without a doubt that the light is not the right type of light or nearly strong enough. IR is good for cell division of the plant, but it's not the food plants crave. That would explain the tall, lankyness of your plants. They are stretching and searching for food (ie grow lights or the sun). Also, generally, it's recommended that a MJ plant gets AT LEAST 150 watts.

Second, I would recommend a grow tent or building a grow area down there. I've grown in a basement like yours in the past and it was a nightmare! There can be LOTS of fungus and mold spores down there, not-to-mention you're leaving yourself very susceptible to unwanted insects as well. With such a large space you will save money and headaches by having a closed, secure and controllable grow environment.

I don't imagine that those plants a savable. I would scrape it and start over with a better set up - JMTC

Good luck and welcome : )

Are your plants getting 12 hours of uninterrupted complete darkness a day? If not, you will need to provide that to the plants.

Joe the reason that some plants can handle more light when flowering is genetics and luck! When cannabis gets more of a dark period the less vegging hormones it has thus it will begin to flower, some plants can do it with less of a dark period but not all plants can, and remember the plants are as unique as people some do better in some situations than others.
 
I will also add that in the pics it looks like you and your friends hang out down there. That leaves you open to getting busted (unless you're in a legal state). But theft and damage to your grow can happen even if you trust your friends/ family. It just takes one to get upset with you and start telling everybody about your grow for revenge, or they may tell someone they trust, who tells someone else...... until the wrong person knows about it.
 
Holy shit man that sucks.... even if I get a light and better soil two weeks max? And all though I did check for fungus and mold the plant has yet to show symptoms so I think we're OK on that perspective. Now how would you recommend I build this grow area? Out of what? How big? How to get good air circulation?
Thanks so much for the reply and for the much needed help!
 
Cool good to know. It's not really possible to shove the plants outside with their size. I do want to keep on with the 2 because I feel that they could yield and flower but that could be cuz of my connection with them
Thanks buddy for the tips and explanation!
 
Just moved the hight of the light and position of the plants. Is any better?

It would take a considerable amount of time to walk you through a building process but, there are MANY video's on YouTube and the web showing how to build a grow room. The easiest, cheapest and least time-consuming option, however, is a grow tent. There are many good choices in the $100 range. On GWE there are some great posts as well. Here are some links:

I hope this helps - Let us know when you get more questions : )
 
Joe it really comes down to that not being the right kind of light for the job. It won't matter where you adjust it to, it simply won't do the job. You'll need an actual grow light.
