how to fix my growroom!!!

[furious248]

hi everyone, firstly let me say I have read threw all the threads on here for months and you have all helped me so much and I thought it was time for some advice on my problems.
I have a small grow cupboard, I have 1 7100 lumen blue 6500k cfl, 2x 900 lumen 2700k and I plan on adding another 2x 900 lumen red cfls.
the soil I am using is multipurpouse but has quite good drainage, I could not find perlite (somehow??) so I am using water retaining crystals which are actually working.
I am growing bf pineapple chunk auto (feminized), she is nearly 3 weeks now and starting to show some small pistols, I am using nutes thats a npk of 5-12-6, I tryed to lst but my girl ripped the wire out the soil and reached for the sky so now I have 1 lst'd side branch. my main concern is if this grow is going to work, I have failed 2 (trial and error) and now I am hoping for the best l. please may I ask for some advice/tips. thanks very much

.....and you've "read through all the threads here for months"?

Use a silicia . Pro text or Silicia blast both work great and will help you in bending and lsting the plants alot easier. Unless you have magnesium deficiency, because that does makes your plants have rock hard stems with purple stems .

thanks for the replys, yes I have been reading for months but there are a hundred different answers for every question, and thanks I will keep it in mind about the stems, im sure seaweek extract could get me out this mess.

Your grow will work if you: check your humidity and temperature levels daily, check the pH of your runoff daily, don't overfeed or overwater, and post pics of apparent deficiencies here on RIU for us to help you out with specific problems.

keep reading bro.. keep reading.. and checking your ph run off DAILY is crazy.. dont need to check unless having problems.. if u use good soil. and ph your water before feeding your plants.. you shouldnt have any issues with runoff..

more nutes isnt better... and lst. u can tie the plant to itself. or the pot.
Goodluck with everything but how did u fail at 2 other grows?

 

[furious248]

thanks for the replys again, I am quite lucky the area I live in has a ph of 6.9-7 which isnt the best, but every rule with a plant is truely just a guide line, I went wrong with my last 2 because that was the first times I tryed with cfl's and I rushed into it (when I know I shouldnt) and mis judged everything, but now I should be ok, no nute probs at moment but I will keep an update to this thread as to how it goes, thanks again

weed has been in my family for generations, my grandfather, and dad both grew weed, and the knowledge has been left with me which I feel I must share, firstly there are many fancy products, and many people who think or may actually know best, but the thing you should remember is that in the uk we used to have wild hemp, everywhere, so with that I am going to share what I know.
