First time grow[indoor + outdoor combo] budget CFL + unstable power

I have switched to outdoor in the daytime and then moving them indoors at night for their 12hrs if darkness. Initially i was trying to avoid growning in the yard just to avoid any situation or prying eyes, as well as help it grow faster by giving it supplementary light at night. I read outdoor took about twice as long as indoor grows and I really want christmas to be lit this year, if you get my drift.
 
Tnx, and yep i know i need both, but both are not available to me. I was planning an indoor grow initially with a well trained plant, instead the power situation has made me more reliant on outdoor which probably made the plant taller than it should be? But anyways I have no bigger "pots", not the large bucket you see behind, and then I would habe to go to myold house to try and get soil. And finally Im in a country where manure is nutrients. Bigger pots would be nice but as long as they can flower in these pots I will be more than happy, even if they wont be as big as can be.
 
Just to be clear, all 4 plants have been switched to the flowering phase, 2 have clear pistils, 1 looks to have pistils but will wait to be sure, and the last looks female in preflower shape, but will still wait to see. The smallest one is 2 weeks into flower while the 3 largest ones are a week into the flower phase, what i would like to now ask veterans is are these pots okay to flower in without harming the plants? I understand under ideal circumstances they should be transplanted, but unfortunately I am on a 0.00 budget and have spent as much as I can spare already, at most I could get 1 or 2 pots but then it will come to choosing which, acquiring soil, etc. So pots yay or nay?
 
Hey KushyHermit you can make cloth pots out of any heavy materials like burlap or bluejeans . They should work as good as the store bought ones . Just as long as the material drains and does not let in light you "should be fine " I think . And self pruning with net pots helps get oxygen to the roots .
I think everyone here has made something they need and can't find .
Hope this helps !!

They can grow in small pots fine up to a point , but don't expect to much bud in the end. Maybe next grow it will be easier for you to get what you need to grow your pot right. You have done a damn good job so far. Good Luck.
 
Tnx guys, I have done my research and i was well aware I would need bigger pots but I opted for smaller on my first grow 1. To use as practice, 2.funds 3.quantity of currently available rich soil. I also am aware of different options for pots and even have 2 or 3 larger contsiners I could use but I would then have to source some more soil, make the plants more difficult to transfer inside, make them more obvious. As long as they will be ok flowering in these pots until mature which is hopefully 8+ weeks from now then I will be very happy even with not such a big yield, but they sure as hell have being getting pretty tall during the flowering stretch, they are are at 19" now from 11" last week, well i do live below the equator so i got lovely weather for it. Its the raining season now so its nice n cool with some nice blazing hot sun interspersed between clouds.

The sides of the pots do have some space as the soil compacted so air should be reaching through the sides too abit... I think...
 
Anyone also know how to properly feed plants in soil manure? I basically ground up dried sheep/goat pellets and poured over the soil in the pots then watered so some of it gets washed down. Is this a good way, is there a better one, mixing the manure in water first then watering?
 
If that's all you got ,just be careful with it. If they are starting to flower be careful of to much nitrogen, if you are growing in good soil you won't need any nutrients, Good Luck
 
Hahaha yea thts true but it's the only other way and I'm not positive but I think tht poop is mostly nitrogen so u might want to find something to bust your flowering

Manure has great balance of NPK as animals usually eat grassy organic stuff. Mine would be sheep.

Sad news today, 2 of the fantastic 4 have to be kicked off the team because they have been tucking balls.:confused:
So sad as one of them was an indica while the rest are sativas, all my decent seeds are mixed together so I have no idea which is which.... So if I want an indica gotta try from seed again and even then wait quite a bit...
 
Cs To what are you refering? If you mean the chart I posted above, that was @st. Bud who said manure is mostly nitrogen.

In general I still research on my own even the answers given so I am able to apply it to my own situation and grow.
 
Tht definitely more rounded than I thought but I would still find something to add extra phosphorus and potassium during flowering

Hey guys ​here with a little update for the week, scorch(the small one) is 4 weeks into flower now, the potaize is now showing as biggest towers over scorch now, but I dont mind as it is a good learning experience. The photos odf the budlets are from the smaller one, photoes of biggest next week when she is 4weeks old.

Biggest is 3 weeks now into flower and they usually go out in the mornings and come in at around 7pm.
