Update Plants are coming back. I have added a fan to help and will add another soon for an intake. I now am seeing what a healthy plant looks like and how they should be maintained. Now how and when will I know the plants are ready for nutes? What is some of the criteria you look for to know...

Day 36 So I for a few days thought that I had over-watered and over-fertilized these plants to death but thanks to the RIU community, they have bounced back and are greener than ever. The plants are are continuing to grow but see that the top leaves are growing faster than the ones underneath...

Update: Plants have come back and are thriving. I can now see how little water these things need. Is there any typical rule of thumb for watering? How do you know when the plants are "asking" for water and then nutes?

Wow. I didn't suspect this much feedback, thanks everyone. I took the first bit of advice I got and leached them; I upgraded to a bigger pot (8in) and now praying that they can recover. The first set of leaves on each plant are toast; lesson learned I guess. I have some more pics; they are still...

My plants are on Day 24 and they seem to be getting worse. From Day 10 to Day 20, I was feeding the plants (about 1 cup/day) from a mixture of 1/4 TSP Jack's 20-20-20 and 1TBSP molasses (1 Gallon). The temp had got up to 86 degrees so I switched out the 2 85W bulbs for 2 42W bulbs and now the...

The plants and pots are not that big. Here is a pic to show their size ratio.

Today is Day 22 of the plants' lives and both are starting to have their bottom leaves turn yellow. I am guessing this is due to a lack of Nitrogen. I have been feeding the plants (about 1 cup/day) from a mixture of 1/4 TSP Jack's 20-20-20 and 1TBSP molasses (1 Gallon) since Day 10. What can I...

My plants are now at day 16 from seed and they are looking rather small. The plants are in a 3x2x5 grow tent with 2 85W bulbs. The temperature in the tent is averaging about 80 degrees and I have been feeding the plants a mixture of 1/4 TSP Jack's 20-20-20 and 1TBSP molasses (1 Gallon) since...

Day 16 I've taken some more photos and after comparing them to other grows on RIU, I feel my plants are lacking in size at this stage. I am wondering if it has something to do with my setup. The plants are in a 3x2x5 grow tent with a 85W and 2 42W bulbs. The temperature in the tent is averaging...

Day 13 These plants are coming along very nicely; seeing new growth everyday and stems are looking green. I have a couple of questions though; the plants have been under 24/0 all this time, is the 2 week mark a good time to flip the schedule to 18/6? Also I started feeding the plants (about 1...

Day 3 I added another 85W bulb to my grow and transplanted the seeds in rock wool to soil. Both are covered with plastic domes to increase rooting; how many more days should I leave them on or should I take them off now?

Hey everyone! So I am back with my second attempt at growing after going through 5 seeds and wondering why they wouldn't grow. (Apparently one 32W 3500K bulb wouldn't do it. ;-)) But moving on.... I have now made the proper time and investments to get my grow going. I have germinated my seeds...

I germinated some seeds (3 days) and once they cracked I placed them each in 1" rockwool cubes that were soaked in 5.5 pH water. Then I lined the bottom of 2 4" pots with a layer of newspaper, then a layer of perlite, then filled the rest of the pot with organic potting soil, leaving 1...

Thanks for the help everyone. So I germinated some more seeds and once they cracked I placed them each in 1" rockwool cubes that was soaked in 5.5 pH water. Then I lined the bottom of 2 4" pots with a layer of newspaper, then a layer of perlite, then filled the rest of the pot with organic...

I germinated my seeds for 3 days and then added them each to a 2qt pot with Miracle-Gro® Seed Starting Potting Mix and some perlite. One seed took about 4 days to grow 3/4' inch with 4 tiny leaves and the other seed never...
