(FIRST GROW) 3 days into flowering after 30 days of veg....HOW DO THEY LOOK???

[keith rineholt]

I HAVE HAD THESE PLANTS ON 18/6 LIGHT CYCLE FOR 30 DAYS WITH A MH LIGHT AND NOW 3 DAYS INTO THE FLOWERING WITH 12/12 HPS LIGHT LIKE NORMAL SET UP....IT IS ONLY A 400WATT SYSTEM......honest opinions help me learn this is only my first full grow, thanks

they look pretty good, but appear to have been overeating on nitrogen a little bit.

 

[keith rineholt]

what about them gives off that idea? and how can i prevent it?

 

[burrr]

the squatty growth and big fat leaves is often a sign of this, at least it has been for me. Just means you need to use a little less plant food.

Hello, just a quick question really for my own sake.

Could this type of growth and size not be because of the Metal Halide Bulb? I was under the impression that Metal Halide reduces strech in a big way and grows short, compact bushy plants that translates into closer nodes for bigger buds later on?

 

[burrr]

That is true, or it could even be plant genetics. But when there is plant food involved, that is often the cause.

I don't even use plant food though?.. I just water with water that's been sitting for at least 24 hrs prior watering... I also just adjust the amount of ph in the water too.

Probably the Metal Halide then in my opinion.

They look very nice and healthy fella and should bulk out nicely in the flowering stetch in the coming 2-3weeks! good job man!

look good to me, and you should start feeding it now, i recomend fox farms, you will see much larger buds and plats in the later stages if you start a feeding schedual when your plants are this size.

ive done what your doing and the plants will do ok, but you wont reach your full potential unless u start it on a reg feed schedual, your now getting to the point where your plants will start using the extra nutes and grow like mad.

look nice fat healthy leaves, you are gona have to trim that under-canopy and get some air circulating on the underside of those leaves. id say they were a little small for 30 days veg. not being negative m8 just that id open that thing up with abit LST and you will be away.

Hey thanks for the complements everyone..... I'm glad to hear they are looking good...lonestand, I'm not familure with feeding, is there anyway I could get a detailed description of it from any one nor do I know what all to get, so a recommend site with direct link to recommend nutes would be amazing, I will be up dating with pictures tmr, iv been away for the weekend on a hunting trip and can wait to get home to my babies, I'll also need help sexing any experts on that too? Lol

Well for example, I use fox farms seen here

http://foxfarmfertilizer.com/products_liqfert3.html


I recommend these because they are not super strong so its hard to over feed with them, thats a very common mistake made with stronger fertilizers. also they are completely organic and being liquid they work in soil or hydro. and most import they work!

they even supply printable feeding schedules seen here

http://foxfarmfertilizer.com/feedingfox.html


now there are tons of fertilizers out there and some are better, however i find these to be my favorite brand.

 

[keith rineholt]

Ok sounds good looks like I got a new itom on my shopping list to buy lol would I be wealth buying them this far in or just wait till the next grow?

 

[lonestand]

not as much no, better starting early with your feeding regiment, besides it will give you the ability to compare with and with out nutes.
