New Grower Dumb a** and AK47

[mtam12]

Wazzzzup all! I tried growing the Ak47 auto fem using hydro. epic fail! While I plan to try hydro again I dropped a couple of these seeds in some dirt. The below pix show them about a week after germ.

I have the water pH'd to 5.8. each morning I add a small amount of water. Dirt seems dry but have read that's ok. No nutes for another 2-3 weks right?

The big CFL's are 85 w each. The other two are 23w each. I have fans blowing on it as well.

So, any suggestions? Would appreciate any and all comments. Do these get really stinky? The fans in the box are broken. For now no smell but later? I just need to get another adapter for the fans to work.

I'd put them in bigger pots ..start them in the pot to begin with so you don't have to trans plant them, 3 gal pot (air pot if you have one)....they won't start stinking untill you get some real buds going and if no one cares in the house don't worry about it..... just don't let strangers in and don't tell anyone or you take a chance of getting busted or ripped off eventually..just let everyone think you got a good connection for some great weed while you save your money as you don't have to buy it anymore once you get a decent harvest so hang in there and good luck! ...my first grow I yeilded apx 7 oz.dry weight (@$400 per) and have a couple more going now, so needless to say I haven't bought any for awhile or plan on it and that was the plan.... cause I'm too broke for smoke but not to broke to smoke.....:dance2:

Bigger pots. Got it! Can i leave them in these andput in bigger pots or transplant into bigget pots?

I would get my pot setup, scoup out the middle (for the transplant), then cut the cup away and carefully tranplant it to the bigger pot, cover with a little more soil and press it down a little then back under the light she goes and let her grow!

nice little grow box but in my opinion your going to need something bigger if you want some 'rea'l buds specialy if you plan on doing any lst training they'll get apx 2-3 ft across something to think about specialy the lights I have two going now without enough light for both I'm using a 400 hps apx 8" above one plant and cfls around the other

welcome to afn bro!

a mod will most likely move this thread to the new grower section (more help for you)

5.8 is the ph for hydro/ soil less.

soil ph should be around 6.3-6.8.

what size is your box?!

personally -- i would clean up the box ASAP before the plants gets out of control.

goodluck and happy growing!

that's for sure! do you really need a box if so do me a favor and keep it to one plant only! give it some lst training take care of her and you just may get something like this..
