Hey Riu this is my first grow and it started outdoors, but due to lack of sun i made a grow room in my closet. Im currently flowering under about 230watts actual cfl(both 2700k and 5500k to achieve full spectrum). Shes been flowering for 24 days today. I have a small nitrogen problem but today i fed a half a teaspoon along with 12ml of bio canna flores and pk 13/14 I started my flowering nutrients a bit to soon i think thi is why im having a nitrogen problem so soon into flowering. Heres a few pictures of her from today, lemme know what you guys think. Also i have a picture of my setup lemme know how it looks.

They look real good. I would just suggest a fan in there maybe?
if you dont have one. get some airflow in there.

I have a 3 foot tall oscilating fan in there. keeps the heat down pretty well
Is it bad to have the fan blowing on the plants the whole time. mean i have the fan oscilating at all times but the plant seems to blow pretty hard. This only strengthens stems rights.

Well they dont seem to be to old.
So yeah dont have it on a high speed if its directly on.
But after a while it will be ok, it will strengthen the stems and everything will be good.
Goodluck with ya grow.

Hey man i appreciate the help. And thanks for stickin with my grow i have one more question. As you can see i have a nitrogen problem early on. Today i fed her some miracle grow blood meal 12-0-0 at 1/2 teaspoon per gallon how long till i see the effects of giving my plant this nitrogen boost. Shes only in week 3 flowering so i figured the nitrogen diffeciency was a bit early seeing as i didnt continue with my veg nutes long enough after the first sign of preflower.

Week 3 of flowering you should be giving nutes of something like 0-10-10. Should not be adding nitrogen. At least not a lot.
But it should show within the week maybe next.

im using bio canna flores NPK 2.5 2.0 2.5 and i gave her her first dose pf pk 13/14 today which should make the buds swell hopefully. the reason i added the nitrogen was becuase i have an indica and itll take 11weeks to finish and if im losing that much nitrogen this early i figured i could become a problem later on. so i only gave her a shot of some Nitrogen to solve this potential problem. But you think a week then. Thanks for all the help again man.

Alright i get it it makes sense.
Are you using any micronutes at all?
And yeah it should be pretty much back to green by then.
And no problem.
Feel free to ask as many questions as you want.

If you have a local hydro store, or online shopping access get some co2 pucks, or if you can afford it a co2 bucket. Your plants will not do what you want without co2!

Pucks are 5 each and are good for about one day if used properly. A co2 boost bucket is about 150$ and is good for up to 3 months.

Also a simple sugar like Flora Nectar or its equivalent from another company. Something with Molasses and Sugar Cane in it! This will bulk up your buds! If you have an N deficiency, adding a small amount of your veg/grow nutrients for a cycle is completely ok. But you shouldn't have to keep doing it.

Yea the additives i am using at the moment at Canna PK 13/14----Molasses at 1 tblspn per gallon----and Cannazym.
I was thinking about make some homeade co2 will this work as good as the co2 pucks and what are the benefits of co2?

Can anyone guess a yield on hey yet or is it still to early to tell. Im hoping for an ounce or two. Or is that asking for to much

CO2 is air for Marijuana. If you want bulky, compact, huge, sweet buds. CO2 is the way to go.

Homemade CO2 usually doesn't get the parts per million(ppm) up to a high enough level to do anything. You need it somewhere between 850 and 1600ppm. Some suggest if you are feeding at 1300ppm, then you should give 1300ppm CO2. Im not sure of that correlation, but it does work.

The easiest cheapest for a full run is the CO2 boost bucket. Remember the pucks are 5$ each. after 30 days, that is 150$ and after it runs out, they make a 49$ refill.

As far as your sugars. . . how much is that mixed into? A liter, a gallon etc.?

Guessing yield, is very very hard!
