Hello i am growing in a cococoir soil mix under 400-500watt cfl now. She is almost exactly 1 month into flower will i see muchmore bud development. Or is tthis it and il looking at about 1/8th to a 1/4 yeild for some reason or another i did i
Up my nutes alittle bit this week. To see if a half gal drench helps rather then a 1/4 gal im just a little wary about over nuting cuz i killed my first gir llike that a year or so ago 20170524_172522.jpg 20170524_172451.jpg 20170524_172429.jpg 20170524_172412.jpg 20170524_172336.jpg

Really depends on the strain bro... have you ran this strain before? What strain is she? If she's only a month into flower oh hell yeah you should see her pack on more weight for sure!!

i've never tried to flower under cfls, but i've seen some pretty decent looking results from them in the forums here. i'd say keep them as close as you can without burning the plant and keep it fed on a regular schedule, and you ought to see some growth

Ok yeah shes a unknown strain its from a bag i had 3 years ago that i had liked and i decided to see if she took and she grew well no signs of hermaphroditic parts or any weird pheno the only issue is i couldnt get a good clone off of her

Ok hell yeah.. Yeah bro, just keep those lights as close as possible without burning them and you'll see her bulk up. Just put your hand near the too of the plant, if it's to hot on your hand chances are it's to hot for the plant (:

Ok yeah i am ganna try a half gal every 3 days and water between 1/4 gals of mix nute its green rx idk its the 042 npk so it works and i had base already so its a half base half nute mix so its acic as hell so im just a little worried about that but i figure 1/2 gal and 1/2gal of water every3 days or 2x a week and done in 1/4 gals will be slow and even enough nutes just scare me cuz of my over nute with fox farms a few years back

I would start off with once a week, then if she shows signs of needing more than bump it up to twice weekly if it was me bro.. what soil are you using, does soil have nutes already? Have to factor all that in... just a thought.

The inly real struggle ive been having in growing is getting a good clone its either 2 small or gets 2 wet too much or i miss a day on spraying and it drys up or something else foolish happens so i just couldnt get a good clone off of her or maybe its just her idk but i have a txani in Veg not my fav strain but im ganna test clone from her to try and get it right and then get some nice seeds to start with

No its straight dirt, cococoir vermwhatever and perlitwhatnot lol no added nutes i mix it myself with each thing bought separately alot cheaper and easyer to carry lol

So the nutes calls for 15ml of nutes to 15ml to base per gal of water now my girl is in 3 gal of the mix i have listed now i picked a half gal a feeding just cuz thats what i originally poured in and told myself to stop and looked at it and half was poured out and the following day she had no signs of nute burns or lock out.

Oh ok.. seriously though I'd go easy with the nutes to start bro.. back in the day 15 or so yrs ago I'd burn the hell out of my ladies. I was feeding 2 and 3 x's every week. Ended up being way to much. Lol

Yes i did the samething i killed 2 plants about 3 years ago so i get a little nervous with nutes i was actually letting her go without for the longest time then i had to in veg when she started getting yellowed and i started her off with mg for veg cuz its veg phase and they usually arent to picky yet and its what i had but i figure for flowering id get the stuff made for growing

But all the mixing and acids and bases and whatnot it a little weird to me but i know once i get this first girl dried and cured my next one will be half way through flower so ill have it down pat by then but then ill be able to clone off her to veg but i really don't like my next strain so im trying to find cheap fem photo seeds that ship to us. Using a debit card not cash

Im using the txani as a place holder / something to have till i get better seeds its a nice strain but its not quite what i need its more for epilepsy and i need it for anxiety bipolar and ibsc and i dont absorb thc well through my stomach/gi so edibles dont do much for the ibs so i usually look for nausea/stress strains

And i do work but i have bills lol and i get paid biweekly so i can only get half my meds half the time literally i get 4 to 5 days worth 2 times a month so 8 days in a month im properly medicated the other days i dont eat much lol so. Now im growing cuz i have to now so it's a little different then when i was younger and i would add nutes and stuff with out much thought

its a good idea to use less than the directions say, but just till you get them figured out. then you can start adjusting them to your plants needs, and know where the limit is. i don't mind getting just a bit of claw, because then i know when to back off for that plant. you might see one of my plants with claw on some older leaves, but hardly ever on newer growth, because i know when to back off.

Yeah i just dont know how much of it i should be physically pouring in when ot says gal does it assume ill be pouring the whole gal

Like ive been through veg 3 times so i know with veg yellow means up it yellowing redish tips and vains means pull back but with flowering its overly green and shiny pull back right but what are the obvious signs like in veg for when yoy need to feed its just first time in flower and i read alot on it and stuff but when your down in the dirt and actuallu growing all the reading in the world wont help with just good old.fashion experience and knowhow

Hello all,

I saw this thread and sort of had the same thoughts...what is standard yield per plant? I have 8 girls in flower, this is my first grow and I'm trying to figure out how much these babies will fill out. I've attached a pic. Can anyone shed some insight on what I may yield? Thanks in advance!!

Some info? What type and how much light are they getting? How big of a space are they in? Etc,...
