and can rabbit food be used as alfalfa

The greens won't help ya. The material the plant can take up is very minute (small).
Matter of fact, most nutrients can't be taken up until the microherd in the soil breaks it down, especially organics.
Molassas has a natural challating agent (breaks stuff down) and alfalfa tea as a foliar feed is great.
Both should be bubbled for 24-48 hours as per usual.

bubbled? and how would i make a tea? and is that a yes or no on rabbit food - alfalfa

Cerebro · 02-13-2009, 04:33 PM

dont know about the rabbit food, should work fine, but it could have seeds?
what i'd do is start building the soil, it's better than giving feeds.
the best, and easiest way is to prepare 12 months in advance.
but, that's not the case, so,
you want some air pockets in the soil, nutrient transfer takes place here.
the breakdown of organic materials over time create these areas
so you have to some animal and vegetable into there.
liquids are the only fast way, so start there.
check the ingredients until you find something with fish, seaweed, or blood n bone.
dan and jenna's molasses tea is about as good as it gets, and i've heard great things about stinging nettle, but never tried it.
that will get you started.
start collecting those vege scraps, put them in a compost bin, or feed them to the worms in a worm farm, or both, or just pile them in a corner of the backyard.
if you can get some humic or fulvic acid suppliments (another liquid fert) then that will get your soil back on track quickly, but as i've said b4, i have no idea what you can buy.

I just re-upped my compost. I have two leaves going yellow on me. I'm going to give it some (Mg) tomorrow if it doesn't get better.

k ima hit up the store in a few days. i have a question about lights right quick tho. can you use the heating lights u get from the petstore for snakes, to assist your grow? like throw those lights on for about 8-9 hours a day, but still run the lights u already have during that time.

José · 02-13-2009, 07:15 PM

Yeah it might help in the slightest.

no

Dandaweedman · 02-13-2009, 07:34 PM

no real benefit

braindead420 · 02-16-2009, 09:31 PM

quote pizza guy. dont know how to make the quote in the format

" 1. You can flower them for 7-10 days. Remove the males, and then finish flowering the females.

2. After gender is known, you can revert back to 24/7 until the plants are taller.

3. Continue 24/7 light until they are as tall as you want them. "

by 24/7 do u mean 24 hours, 7 days a week. or 24 hours on, 7 hours off.

Cerebro · 02-16-2009, 10:41 PM

he means 24/0

braindead420 · 02-18-2009, 08:45 AM

so. on the 17th ( yesterday) at 12 am i started the 12/12, had twelve off. and twelve back on. but i passed out before it was time to turn em off again. so they have only had 12 complete hours of darkness. is it bad that i fucked up the timing like that. im gonna let me veg for a bit longer now, and when i switch to 12/12 im going to do at an earlier time of the day.

Cerebro · 02-18-2009, 05:48 PM

we'll have to wait and see.
maybe you should prioritise that timer?

No. If a plant doesn't have preflowers when you put it into flower, the plant will flower anyway. It just takes about 7-10 days for many people to tell whether the plant is male or female. You also have the option of taking clones once know a plant is female. I haven't done any cloning, but I've read a lot about it. It's something I should check into.

Word up about the timer.

You can get a block segment timer cheap from any hardware or home improvement store, you might be able to find a digital one for not much more.

Inconsistent light cycles will confuse the plant and delay/decrease harvest. Also the plant could turn hermaphrodite as a result.

I`d get a timer as soon as possible.

Word up about the nettles. They will give a tea which is kind and nutritious for your plants.

braindead420 · 03-01-2009, 03:17 PM

got a new soil mix, guano, grow crystals, all kinds of good ferts n all that. got it from a friend. and moved the ladies into it a few days ago. about two weeks into flowering, got three females. and got some purple beans, just covered up in the soil. will seedlings grow normal on an indoor 12/12 schedule?

braindead420 · 03-29-2009, 02:12 PM
