[father&son]

first off cfl grow(ive grown with cfls before so)no ferts just fox farms ocean soil and a lil bat shit...this is the fist time ive done the party cup grow ..my lil gurls are about 3wks old from sprout ..their in 16oz white foam cups are they root bound they took off great but now are droopy and got yellow and brown spot..no pics sorry can u help

at 3 weeks old you should be feeding them already. And if know they are root bound you should transplant to larger pots. I would transplant them now to the pots you plan to flower in.

using cfl's your going to need more soil if you want bud.People that do the party cup are usually playing and have others in big pots growing nice buds.

...hmmm. Sounds like your pot bound, obviously. (yellow and brown spots) might need Cal/mag.

any garden shop will have a soil u can use, just carefully read the back of the bag and make sure it doesnt have too much nutes or anything, i used miracle gro(sum ppl dont like it) and had no problems at all.

lol u said dont use anything with much nutes, but ive tried 2 seeds in miracle grow and they got nute burn and died within a 1-2 weeks

lol, sorry should have clarified, what i meant was that if u havent got any option then miracle gro will work although i added around 30% perlite and 10% vermiculite and u do have to be careful, i never added any extra nutes for the first 5 weeks and then i went very gently with 2ml of biogrow to 1 litre of water. it just that miracle gro and stuff like it are easily bought at the average home and garden shop and he should just look around but also to check the back of the bag for any nute info.

...take your FFOF and mix with 1/3 petemoss, 1/3 vermurclite, 1/3 perelite. If you have earthworm castings and liquid seaweed that would help out alot until you get more FFOF.

lol i feel ya, i was just jokin around. back then when i did it i had no idea miracle grow had so much nutes in it, i added nothing to it like u did, n i probably wasnt careful either.

I cant truely say anything bad about MG cuz ive heard many people get sucessful grows off of it, so who am i to judge.

definitely the best advice, reps to you stalker

all that stuff, including some pots should only set you back $30 or maybe $50. if you still have that bat shit mix some of that in, because its an excellent fertilizer

maybe i'm being thick here ( and thats a very strong possibility btw) but isnt 1/3 +1/3+1/3 not equal to 1...so u dont put any ffof in it at all....or do u add all the thirds up to the 1 and mix with a same amount of ffof...sorry i'm not trying to take the piss, i'm genuinely curious

 

[father&son]

i had about 3 large coffe cans of the ffof so i got a bag of the miracle grow organic choice it looked like and ok soil as fur nuts it list chicken shit and organic nuts nothing else i put them in to 8 inch pots and since then they are looking ok ,they had spots rust in color and a lilttle bit of yellowing but since ive transplanted they look good.i read that to add 2 tablespoons epbson salt to a gallon of water and they are statring to stand up more with out all they drop and since they been transplanted they are on a 18 and 6 light sche..thanks for all ur help im up for suggestions to add and all that stuff thanks u guys for the help again
