Hi Everyone, New to growing and have been reading grow journals and any general information I can read up on to make sure my first grow goes well and to keep the problems at a minimum. I currently have the soil in Roots Organic with 25% Perlite to help with aeration , I water every 2 days or until it is dry (Water Meter). I have yet to add it any nutrients as I feel it could be to early in the game, when do you guys feel it would be a good time to start adding nutrients? I bought Fox Farms Organic Big Bloom as I know it is easier on nutrients for younger plants. It seems slightly yellowed but not horrible and I would rather use the method "Less is more". As for my lighting I use one 150 Watt CFL and one 120 Watt CFL and a 300 Watt LED Light. I keep a fan in the room to help with circulation and strengthening the stem.I hope to get any input from the advanced growers. I can also post more pictures of the grow as well. Thank you!

healthy so far, give her another week and then post a pic I think shell be ready for nutes by then.

just want to establish a decent root system before you start up with nutes plus the 707 will have enough for her to make use of in the first 2-4 weeks

Hey guys, sorry for being MIA....anyways, here she is, she sprouted on the 15th of July. I have not added any nutrients as of yet however I did do some LST, which the she seems to be taking well to, if you look closely you can see it. I added my first 1/4 nutrients of BIG GROW at NPK of 3-2-6...hopefully I didn't add to soon, but I felt there was abit of a nitrogen deficiency....what do you think? Any advice to a new grower...I seem to think I'm doing pretty good, lol...thank you

Hi Everyone, went on a 3 day trip, I had someone watching her while I was gone, the plant seems to be having some problems now, I am trying to point out what it could be, I feel maybe a cal/mag def or off ph, it's a little more droopy then normal but the lights just came back on, any advice? Just want to get her back on the right track, I do add nutrients but have not added any for 2 waters. I also just installed a 400 watt hps so hopefully they will take well to that. Thank you
