Hello all, I have been lurking this site for probably 6 months now. I have learned pretty much everything I know from this site, which I thank you all for. Any suggestions are appreciated.
My setup:
I am using miracle gro soil, and have not used any additional nutrients.
I am using twelve 23-watt cfl's, nine of them are soft white, the other three are daylight, I also have a 65 watt soft white.

The first three plants I grew from bagseed which was decent mids, but all three being male. Well I didnt give up there and started my next two plants using some seeds from some decent chronic. One male and one Female......
So today she is 9 days into flowering, I sexed her at day 5. In those 8 days she has grown from 6 inches to 10 inches. Like I said, the plant hasn't had nutrients besides what is in the soil, so chances are I have a nute deficiency. Many of the leaves have brown tips, the stock is very red, and the growth is beginning to slow down a bit.The problem is I dont have a credit card or any other way of ordering anything online, and I do not want to pay extra fee's for a pre-paid credit car unless I absolutely have to. So can anyone recommend a good flowering nutrient that I can purchase at Lowes or Home Depot?







 
does your soil have nutes in it ? Is your ph between 6.0-7.0 ? Have you been ph'en your water ? Lowes has alaska brand bloom fish emulsion that does well and its organic use at half strength for first 2-3 feedings and use unsulfered molassis 1 tablespoon per gallon ,you can mix the 2 ,if your soil has nutes keep a keen eye on ph , dont want nute lock

i used mg soil my first grow,it gave me problems (p.h)when flowering but buds appeared and were a nice smoke...i ovened the soil afterwards (sterilized?) and broke it all up,mixed some 7-7-7 thru it and used it for my second grow... i just used some organic seaweed liquid and tomatoe feed liquid.... the p.h stayed managable...just needed a few flushes not like the first time-flushing every 2 weeks...

Thanks S.Dog, Yep the first sign of the pistils is :weed:

Hey homegrwn, all of my plants so far until recently were very down, and droopy kinda like a palm tree....but I checked my temp gauge and found out the room was getting down to 63 degrees. I raised the temp in the room for lights out time and now she looks completely different...just a thought..lol
