They are about halfway to the top of the light now. I was planning on getting a cool tube because I'm going to switch to a HPS light, but I don't know if that will cool it down enough when they start getting their tallest. I think I might need to switch to some cooler CFL bulbs and run some...

Ok I think I'm almost to where I was last time, except this time the plants aren't dying. I think they are about 5 weeks old now. Hoping to determine which are male and which are female soon.

If I have chores to do then I get high. That's more a thing to do while you're doing chores, and not really a thing to do when you get high though. I'm lazy in general so it actually has become a good motivator as a reward for doing chores. I like going someplace where they sell lots of flowers...

Thanks. I was surprised at how much the wilted one perked up just after 24 hours.

Is there anything else I should/can do to keep it from getting worse?

Here I am on my fourth attempt at a grow, not yet having made it past veg phase. I noticed the leaves on the plants were starting to get yellow spots, but one of the plants has dark contorted leaves now. The soil mixture and feeding schedule are the same for all the plants. I'm confused because...

on my 4th "first grow"

One last picture from 9 days after the last pic was taken. It grew so much. Still mad at myself it ended up a male. :wall: Started over with 5 seedlings this time, so I guess there is only a 1/32 chance I will not have a female. Started them on the GO Box schedule yesterday.

Here's a progression of how the plant looked from when it started looking unhealthy to after the nutrients were applied (first pick taken right after applying the nutrients.) The third picture was taken when the nutrients had been in the soil for 48 hours. This was around the time the soil was...

Well the plant looks like it has officially come around today, lol. I noticed a stronger odor when I got close to the tent, and thought the bacteria must be multiplying, so I wasn't surprised to see that the plant was doing better. I will take some 48-hour pics tonight just to show the...

Today I noticed the plant was starting to develop flowers that looked strange, not like the ones that grew on my previous plant :cry:. I must have wrongly identified that one as a female. My current plant is a cutting from the previous plant, taken when the previous plant was in pretty bad...

The nutrients came and the instructions were easy to follow. That is some funky smelling stuff, especially the squid. I was surprised at the amount of runoff since the soil seemed to hold so much water. I gave it to some hostas, a Persian shield plant and an elephant ear. Probably has miracle...

Thanks. The leaves are starting to look a little crispy, but just about 19 hours now for those nutes to arrive.

Thanks, I will definitely be doing that with my next seedling.

Those are amazing results! I would never guess that was from a first grow. Super impressive! Really appreciate your help. I'm going to try to stop freaking out so I'll stop doing stupid things that only hurt the plant more. I'm a little worried about the soil composition after reading some...

It actually felt dry as far as my index finger and still dry below, but the bucket still feels pretty heavy to me. I must need to drill some more holes. I had 4 each about the size of a dime. Of course something stupidly basic again! I ended up buying the GO Box nutrients kit mentioned in an...

The soil is starting to feel pretty dry in the first couple of inches down in the dirt. I'm worried because I think it's wilting more now, or at least not improving. Should it take much long for the leaves to perk up after being over-watered, given Miracle Grow, and then transplanted? Two...

Damn, the nutrients have already shipped and can't cancel the order. The description said they were organic but it looks like they are salt based. I will see if I can return them or try using them on a different plant. After repotting, the mix is about 1/3 perlite, 1/3 Black Gold Cocoblend...

Thanks. I remember seeing fish fertilizer at the garden shop and I wish I had gotten that instead of the Miracle Grow! Also ordered a pH meter yesterday.

I only gave it MG once. That was before I transplanted it, and I tried to remove as much dirt from the roots as I could without damaging them while transplanting. There were maybe 3-4 cups of soil in the root ball when I transplanted I think. It's still wilting about the same as it was after the...
