this is my first post on rollitup.org and i looked around and i like how this fourm is all ways try to help, i love it here anyways lol

i have a grow area of 2x4x7 im currently growing 4 purple ryder from joint doctor,
they are all siting in 5gallon dwc systems, they are 3weeks old and i was wondering if they will get bigger soon cause they seem to still be in seedling form.
i think the reason being i didn't feed them for 2weeks from sprout i read somewhere online to feed at week3 grow nutes(3 tbsp). when i fed them last week i also moved the light 2ft6inch from the tops of the plants. i got a 20in box fan blowing on them 24/7, the lights is 18/6.

i was wondering how much yield should i expect, how much should i feed them each week and how many more plants can i fit under that 400w mh im planin to by more seeds i wann know what u recommend.
AND THANK YOU :evil:

Hi and welcome to RIU! Since you have a 400w light, you should have your light a lot lower. 18" would be a better height from the top of the canopy.

Week 3 is the right time to feed in soil, not sure when in DWC, but that sounds right to me. What nutes are you using? I feed every other watering and I water every other day. So that works out to feeding twice a week.

Good luck with your grow and feel free to ask any more questions and post some pics of your babies.

dang thanks MidnightJoker! i was losing hope that nobody would reply to me cause i was a newbi.

i listened to your advise and moved the light 18" from the tops of the plants.
i use BCgrow and BCbloom i was thinking these two bottles we good enough since its a auto-flower, im wondering if i should also feed them twice a week with 5tsp each time but im scared that the ph would jump to high what do you think?

dude trust me mychorizae/beneficial bacteria, is like roids for your girls, i use great white which is spendy, also if your worried about soil ph BOND makes a ten dollar ph/moisture/light gauge for soil, doesnt even use batteries, just stick it in and see.

Not sure I'd put those firearms in the picture... I know it looks gangsta, but in my state at least, cultivation or possession with a firearm is a super felony.. like 5 years no questions super.

No offense, DWC, but you'll probably get a better reception without staging your photos with preset clocks, bongs, and guns. You can bet everybody smokes around here, so you're not dealing with a crowd that will be impressed with that kind of thing. Just stay focused on your question and providing the appropriate details. Leave the other stuff to other audiences if you must.
