beansly: i did that!! lol i guess patient is what im lacking cus when most of them just looked dead and only two still looked fine but didnt grow i deicided to keep them just until they too looked dead, then found the third one in the bag with the ones i threw out n realized it started looking healthier so put it in the window, but the first 3 weeks they were in one of these little plastic houses i think is called humidity dome..altho i put them right under the 90w led and afterwards i read they didnt want much light so i thought id try putting them in the window.
took some new ones yesterday though im hoping for better luck with those, took bigger branches and i put it so its not right under the lamp but maybe half ameter under.. sparaying the roof with only water wich i adjusted the ph with.
i guess sometimes u gotta try n fail in order to learn
i just have my second grow in floweing right now and thats all the growing ive done so far hehe
blazeddd: how can i tell the difrence from hydro food and soilfood? i use these advanced nutrients... bloom, micro,grow, but also sometimes voodoo juice, some iguana juice or somethin, and big bud. but not at the same time ofcourse, just to mention wich ones..
anyways, your post gave me a bit of hope
I actually noticed it when I went to another hydro shop. I was checkin up on nutes that I was planning to buy for the flowering stage, when I realized that there were two types of veg food of the FoxFarm brand. There is a green colored one and a light blue colored one. The light blue one clearly had FoxFarm Hydroponic Liquid Plant Food while the green one, which I blindly bought, had FoxFarm Soil and Fertilizer Company Liquid Plant Food.
If it doesn't say on the label, then read the bottle. It should say somewhere like for soil, for hydroponic, or even both. I'm using General Hydroponics Maxi series and it can be used for both hydro and soil.
If it doesn't say on the bottle, then I guess try checking on google or their company website. But I think that you just overfed them because I'm pretty sure that hydroponic food has less Nitrogen levels than soil. My problem was that I fed them too much nitrogen while in hydro, and actually an overdose of all their nutes, and they looked just like yours look right now, especially the stunted factor.
Good luck man, don't stress too much. I hope you get a great yield!
Also here are some pictures I found..
It started out for a couple of weeks like that
Then it had a 1 week growth.. followed by like 2 weeks of nothing.
Huge growth for 1 week, and then it was stunted height from there all they way till harvest.
My second grow, I have two different buckets - proper nutes - 4th week total, 3 weeks veg and 1 week flowering already done. Here are some heights,
after week 1, 1 plant @ 9in other @ 4.5
after week 2, from 9in to 18 and other from 4.5 to 9
after week 3, LST the 18 one because it grew way too tall. other one from 9in to 13.5
after the first week of flowering, week 4 total, yesterday, the LST is locked at 21' and the other from 13.5 to 21'
And the picture you see up there... its SEVEN weeks into veg!
Compared to my 3 weeks veg/1week flower:
SO the point is just focus on finishing this one out, learn all your mistakes, don't rush things, research, plan, plan, some more planning and then receive better results every new grow.
