I am new to this so please forgive me if I put this in the wrong place. I have been growing two plants for about 3 to 4 weeks now. I was wondering if I could get some opinions on how they are doing? I have about 18 cfls in the room and I have the lights on 18 hours a day. I feed them nuts every day, a 10-15-10 solution at full strength. They look good I think they might be small that is my main concern. Thanks for your help.

mine were about 12inch at 3 weeks but a lot does depend on what strain your growing I only watered mine every other day with no nutes I started from bean in a small pot repotted after 2 weeks then again at 4 weeks which is also when I topped them then I put them in there final pots at 6 weeks thats when I put them into flower I started using nutes about 2 weeks into flower

Cool. Yeah I started them from seed and they took off quick, I thought that they were a good size till I looked online and saw what people were growing and mine look small. The bag that they came out of was some good stuff a little stemy but not too bad.

Those look sweet. They look like they are about the same size as mine are. Maybe I will cut back on the nutes though, it might be a good idea. Thanks for the input.

Ok. Well how much water do you give them each time? My plants are in one gallon pots I believe I give them about 3 ounces of water a day. What would you consider a good feeding (water) to be?

let them get dry lift the container or dig down to your second knuckle ,the plants don't need to be drooping but dry,then i water about 14-16 oz it pours out the drain holes,this encourages your roots to fill the container your training them to feed from the top ,does this make any sense?

I have another question, If I keep the lights like 2"-4" away from the plants will that stunt their growth and make them bushier rather than taller? Should I move the lights farther away like 12"?

my boy is growing some heads in his closet his plants are like 14inches tall now, don't know how long he's been growing it all for but it seems to be working out, just remember to talk to ya plant, water it as much as needed, especially on hot days, make sure it gets a lot of light and heat, and if you get a male plant, kill it before all your plants turn to males and make it a big waste of ya time.
