I have 5 ghsc Feminized kings kush seeds that I germinated and have had in a closet for 4 weeks now they have 5-6 nodes and are looking good I'm using bio root with a 28-14-14 fertilizer and I have a 125 watt CFL hanging horizontally and a 24 watt CFL hung vertically, both running 24 hours a day. My max temp is 87degrees farenheit with a low of 67 and humidity has a max of %60 and low of %24. I have a small desk fan running 24 hours a day as well. I mist my plants with a solution of water and nutrients every morning and afternoon and I release CO2 by putting baking soda in a cup and adding vinegar causing it to froth up and release CO2. I recently relseased a couple of lady bugs just for safe measures. Any help/ tips is appreciated thanks

There is no such thing as feminized seeds, what kind of soil are you using? The plants are looking good...

You would be well served to get your temps down to at least the low 80's. You may have a fan blowing on your plants that are not in the photo....but if there isn't...get one. Your plants need moving air.

I bought a beginner's guide to growing a couple weeks ago and it recommended that npk requirements, also how do you test your ph? I do have a fan in there goin 24 hours a day and a bigger more heavy duty one that I turn on occasionally

I have been known to kill silk flowers......and I seem to be able to grow pot. But in the end, your best start is to keep things simple. Get the seeds going, don't over-water, don't over-nute, be mindful of your temperatures, and when giving the plants the right amount of light....the plants will grow.

I think we on RIU tend to over-analyse growing. You'll read mental exercises like figuring out grams per watt, and millions of words written about nuances like PH, light spectrum's, soil, strains, CFM's, containers, etc. etc.

The plant knows what it's doing.

All this tweaking is confusing to the first-time grower.....I know it was for me....start with a good strain, use recommended soil, and give it good light, and you'll have amazing weed in about 3 months.
