how's she doing? *day 7 with pics*

they look good but ya keep track of the temp it can be very deceiving. Dosent look like they are really stretching too much. Are you using CFL or MH for lighting? and are you using any nutes? I would pick up a temp gauge and i make a data page on microsoft office with the date, time, humidity, temperature and the high and low. By keeping track of the different aspects of growing you can start to try new things with different plants and see how each strain likes something new. For example some plants like it to be closer to 85 deg some like 75 some plants like more humidity than others some like more wind from fan than others. I would put a very small fan in your room as well. Right now is a very important stage in its life to be producing cellular wall strength so i would put a fan in the room as well. Good luck hope to hear more about your grow!

Looks are deceiving my friend, she stretched quite a bit actually during her first two days of life. She is using CFL lighting, and hell no I'm not giving her any nutes this young. Also, there is a fan going that is connected to my timer.. so its running 18/6 as well as my lights.

incredibly fun.. lol. 80% of plants are female. you got the odds on your side

80% female...Man, you got lucky. It's 50/50 at best unless you're using feminized seeds, then 80+% would be about right.

oh with the water on the leaves... dont worry about it if your using a MH light and the light is close the water will work as a mag glass and burn the leaves but you should be fine i have had slight burns from it but nothing that would stop me from doing it i just make sure the fan is on and the door is wide open so the water can evap off as needed. I have also read that for small plants like these absorb more water through the leaves thats why seedlings like high humidity. Once they start to get bigger though they will absorb less through the leaves and more through the roots. If your using cfl dont worry about the light burn the lights burn too cool inorder to burn the plant from my experience.

pray to obama or god that its a female

lol
dont do that

ur plant looks fine man.....
if anything,check the ph

 

[Supgee3]

Thanks for the kind words everybody.
You'll be seeing me a lot on these forums (I stumbled upon them about a week and a half ago, and my plants about a week old so go figure)

You'll be seeing lots of pictures from me.

Yeah, I was about to say possibly high PH. Nothing purps/reddens a stem more that I have seen at that age then PH. I wouldn't worry about it unless it gets worse.

My first inclination is that the PH is causeing a slight issue with nutrient uptake causing a slight deficiency.

Heat also can cause reddening but I think it takes a lot of heat and I am pretty sure no one is really dumb enough to mistake the difference between like 72 and 95-100 even with their arm.

"Hmmm every time I open the door a shit ton of hot air smacks me across the face, maybe I should do something about it!"

1. Don't highjack threads, do your research then post if you can't find it.

2. Probably not if you are keeping your lights at all close to your girls.

3. You obviously don't do research because if you did you would have chosen CFL over low watt HID and would not have to ask this question.

4. Spraying plants is generally completely unnecessary.

could anybody just put me on the right path to be happy
thanks alot and sorry

... you guys are talking about misting.. misting can save plants in certain situations...

foliage misting is necessary when cloning, transplanting, nute lockout and if used properly can help boost bud production...

Do you need to mist a healthy plant? the answer is no...

during cloning, misting feeds the plants as the plant has no roots to gather nutrients.

when your plant is have nutrient lockout, you can flush with no nutes and foliage feed them to keep them from slowing growth or stunted growth..

how can i spray to increase bud production? i got fox farm nutes, and im four weeks into flowering is it too late to spray?

 

[GreedAndVanity]

I do not mist clones. I have about a 99% success rate and do batches of 50 twice a week. This means I lose one plant a week. This is without a humidity dome of any sort either. Cloning is my business, I sell them to clubs. If you have to mist when cloning you did not take off enough leaf.

If you are taking care of your plant properly misting is completely useless.

If you fuck up and get nute lock out then yes it is a good idea to foliar feed. I have seen a few plants that were large enough that the root system could not support the plant mass very well and needed foliar feeding as well.

Foliar feeding can be necessary but generally is not. It can lead to increased yields as often as it will cause major burns for n00bs.

Ack, my thread got jacked completely.
Start your own!

[SIZE=-1]you can use this as foiler spray before flowering... this allows the plant to intake more nutes.. resulting in more buds..


Diamond Nectar is an exclusive Fulvic Acid extract from a combination of unique Leonardite sources providing the highest availability and diversity of these bioactive pant compounds. The General Hydroponics research team has assayed over 300 different Leonardite sources around the world to create a proprietary, pH balanced, fulvic acid with maximum agronomic benefits. Diamond Nectar can be applied to all cultivated plants including fruits, flowers. vegetables, trees, vines and ornamentals. Add to fertilizer mix for plants growing in soil, potting mixes, soilless rooting media and hydroponics. Can be root applied to seedlings (1-6 oz/gallon) or mature plants (1-12oz/gallon), or combined with foliar sprays (12 oz/gallon).Countless University studies have demonstrated Fulvic Acids to dramatically improve mineral nutrient uptake as well as facilitating their translocation throughout the plant.[/SIZE]
