Start with fluorescents or cfls... They have the correct light wave lengths for seedlings and will produce more developed nodes than your hids from far away. Also they give off far less uv which can damage young seedlings. Although I will Say I have heard of many growers on RIU having success...

It's totally up to you and what you want to achieve. With that being said personally I would wait till you get some side branching with more buds and more bud sites! I couldn't help but notice the very small plants in what looks like 5gal pot to the left of the last picture?! Way too big for...

Absolutely not if any thing perfect! It's ok to have no change in leaves but this is exactly what happens if the plant was outside unattended.

This isn't your first grow is it? This is normal with flowering especially 5 weeks in. Are you using bloom nutes? Or something high in P&K? The one to the left is showing a lil bit of excess N.

Not strange at all...they symptoms of for over watering and underwater ing look the same so don't feel bad...most people do a lift test to judge their watering needs. Also the Lowe leaves yellowing are a sign of N def, as for the other leave looks like new growth to me?

DE is good at keeping bug populations down but does nothing for eggs or larvae. Look into using worm tea! Kills a lot of bad larvae eggs and even adult pests while adding many other micro nutes and resistances to your plants.

Please show me literature on small pot size resulting in a taller plant! Maybe a spindly plant but not taller. Also nurseries grow a wide variety plants not only trees.;) I'm glad to hear that going straight to a 5 gal works for you but I've done it as well and know it creates a inferior...

I'd kill it ASAP or your soil ph is going to fluctuate every day. Algae is very strange, it lives in the presence of light producing oxygen which is good...but in the absence of light it dies and creates low oxygen high co2 causing ph to change wildly in the process. After seeing all this I'm...

I don't mean to offend you but. I used to work in the nursery where soil pot sizes and nutrients are always used to their maximum efficiency... the 3X potting scheme is not something I made up but an industry standard. As far as foliar feeding, I can never express importance of this and I get...

It's so early I wouldn't worry about node spacing. As far as nute burn no, although it should happen starting in even a lil ffof. After looking at your picture more I'm noticing what appears to be algae on your perlite ;s I have a lot of experience with algae coco, vermiculite, and perlite..when...

Just mist them you'll be fine! If you go to big to fast you'll end up with a weak or shallow root system!

Don't water when transplanting! Soil should be moist but not wet. You need air flow for roots to grow. First 3-4 days mist soil to keep moist and most plants also this helps roots grow. Also ffof is sometimes a lil much for transplants i like ff happy frog for clones with no nutes! Do not use...

I have absolutely no hands on exp with autos so maybe someone can chime in here, but from what I have read you have no control of when it flowers. I believe it counts the days not hours of darkness like most cannabis. I would think your best bet is to go 24/0 to get a larger auto,

If anything id save the hps for week two, and not for the $8 you may save, but be cause most hps bulbs don't have enough of the correct blue spectrums you need for early growth and an 600w hps or mh that far away will make plants stretch and spindly. I would use fluorescents 4" away with cool...

Can't quite make out what it is either but I'd guess a leafhopper or thrip...either way alien widow is right LADYBUGS!! If they die they die but they will work wonders for you! They are cheap and you will have probably more than you will need! Another solution is Diaotenacious Earth made into...

Ok after further thought id say your plants are just stressed due to the increase of lumens. This happens a lot when moving lights closer or introducing new or different light intensities. You may experience this when you switch to hps for flower, and I hope that is your plan? Give it a few days...

Hummmm my best guess is the light...I have no experience with such a small bulb but I believe this is your problem. Do you have a temp near the top of the plant? I'm guessing if you are closer than a Ft it's going to be too hot, and farther well not enough light. I rarely hear of anyone using...

They are both right, ffof is for after seedling and the immature stage as it has a ppm of about. 450-500 light warrior is a good choice to start in, I also like to use ff happy frog before I go to ffof as it is a nice transition and helps get out if the juvenile stage. Miracle grow sells seed...

All indications are leading to a root bound problem. However by the looks of it i would guess ph problems also....I know you said ph was straight but I am wondering about your watering habits? I never have powerful lights on for at least an hour after watering until it settles...I know this...

Neem works well but that smell! Not to mention no one really knows if it's ok to smoke neem or it's affects....I use Diatomaceous Earth which works on adults and sand works for a while, green sand being the best. Habinero spray is also great for an immediate solution killing adults. The most...
