Newbie Round 2

Day 19. Never added nutes yet. Going to get a gallon of water and will feed her on Friday probably. Is it me or is this growing extremely dense? Basically 1" of stem and the rest in some awesome growth!

She does look a bit dense. She looks a little thirsty to me and that soil looks like a desert.

What strain?

I just watered two days ago. Still feels like I have enough water until tomorrow. I overwatered my last batch and am trying not to make the same mistake. This is hollister kush.

Yeah, I think most of make that mistake, but at least you're gauging by weight. Always a smart way.

From my experience a lot of Kush strains I've seen in the past are pretty dense. I'm no expert on growing (about 2 1/2 months in on my first grow of 6 plants under 1000w hps), but I've seen a lot of kush for sure. So that could be why it's pretty dense.

Also, like a previous poster stated if you haven't already, I'd get that girl under some lights. Your plant this young should be nice and perky reaching for that light, not sagging like my grandma's titties.

Lol. I have the 4 23w cfls. I put them under one 10" diffuser so its getting almost 100% of that light. I thought it was a good thing that its not stretching and having really good growth with the leaves. I was going to add two more on the sides once it got a little bigger. Ill add them sooner.

It's great it's not stretching for sure. Just looks a like saggy to me, but then again lack of light isn't the only cause of a frowning plant. Are you going to try any LST or topping? I personally went with a 4 Way LST (google it, it's pretty neat) and am in loveeee with the results. Here's a pic from about a week ago of my Trainwreck.

Nice plant!

Im about to look into LST. I honestly didnt think I was going to get this far. The first time around got me pretty bummed.

LST (Low Stress Training) is so simple. You're basically just tying down your plant and being that it seeks light, it redirects itself by bending toward the light.

4-Way LST - You let your plant grown about 5-7 true nodes (not the single leaves, but the multi leaves) and top it above the 2nd true node. Then you take some metal coat hangars, cut them and make U shape stakes and just stake each top in the soil and it will stretch out. It seemed a lot complicated to me at first, but it's so simple really. This is the way that Trainwreck in the above pic was done.

Day 21. Replanted in a 1.5-2 gallon pot yesterday and there was a ton of roots at the bottom. Came home today and the leaves were still droppy so I added 1/4 teaspoon of Dyna Grow Folliage Pro to a gallon of water. Gave about 12oz of water since I just watered yesterday and didnt want to drown. I figured it was starving for food.
