General And Non General ?'s

you want to keep lights on 24 hours during vegitation. or 18 on and 6 off. personally, i believe 24 hours is better. you'll flower by changing light cycle to 12/12. keep those flouro's as close as you can to avoid stretching. like 1-3" away, just dont burn leaves. make sure ph of your water is balanced. that's very important. needs to be between 6.2-6.8. you should be using vegitative fertilizer. try foxfarms lineup. or jacks, etc. start at 1/4 strength on the nutes, then work up gradually. if possible, get 1 fan blowin in, and 1 blowin out. you want just a gentile breeze, not a hurricane. wait till about a month old to start nutes....good luck

So as of now, Im going to want to keep the lights on 24hrs? I have a kit to test the ph the nitrogen and some other stuff as well so ill check it out and see what i need to add/remove. Im gunna move the plant closer to the lights because theor actully not that hot at all so ill see how that goes. Where can i get these furts at? im kinda confused on the whole NUTES thing as well... what do u mean by 1/4 strength on the nutes? Hey, and thanks for the quick reply!

again, yes, leave lights on 24 hours a day. get nutes at hydro shop near you (look some up), or go to home depot, lowes etc. and look for a vegitative fertilizer. on the nutes you buy.... as an example... it'll say "add 2 tablespoons per gallon". instead of doing that, you'll add only 1/4 of that amount to your water, then feed plants. so that'd be 1/2 tablespoon. start with that, then gradually work your way up to full dose. your going to need to either stint that stem so she can support herself, or dig her up, and plant her father down in container. you only want like 1/4- 1/2 " of the stem above ground. that happened because lights were not intense enough.... thus, she stretched to get as close as possible to light....... read what i wrote you on your homepage. good luck

very cool...she'll be much more stable now. you can give nutes, starting at 1/4 when plant is about 3 weeks-month old. you mix the recommended amount of nutes in (1/4 of recomendation to start) with your water, and pour onto soil until water drips out of drainage holes in container. wait to water again until top 2" of soil is dry(push your finger 2" down to check) if it's moist at all there, wait another day and check again. it's nearly impossible to overwater using that method. to use the nutes, you can use a routine of water, water, nute, water, water, nute. -which is watering 2 times for every 1 time you give nutes. keep a journal of what you did and the date. water the plant, when it's dry, water it again. next time it's dry, give it water and nutes, etc. you can use that method to start or try giving nutes every other time you water. so water, let dry, nutes, let dry, water, etc. see how much your plant can handle. trial and error good luck

Fuck yeah dude. thx i rlly appreciate it man! ill let u know whats good on em

cool

Looks good Solo. I'd add a word of caution about your current nutrient schedule. I'm on my first grow, so take it with a grain of salt:

I'm growing outdoors in a 3 gallon pot. I used the miracle gro potting mix with the 3 month supply of nutes (my journal is linked to my signature if you want to check it out). That soil arguably comes with all of the necessary nutes your plant will need for 3 months. I didn't add any nutes until right around the 3 month mark. Looking back, I think I should have started adding N (via fish emulsion) around 2 1/2 months. In any event, the plant got huge, stayed green and healthy for the entire 3 months.

I just don't want you to get nute burn from too much N at this young stage. However, you could be okay with the minimal dosage outlined by ijustgrowGREEN. With that amount, you should be able to see any nute burn and adjust accordingly. Just something to be aware of. Happy growing!

Hey, thx for the advise. The only thing is that i dont want to wait 3 months+ for my plant to get the nutes to start budding. since im growing indoors, i have a constant light on and nutes to get fast results and SMALLER bushy plants.
