Just moved to a state that allows me to try this wonderful project. I have start cheap for the first run. I have never tried this before except when i was 14 in my backyard. I bought a clone from a local shop on 4/20. It was already a decent size. I placed it in MG ( i know bad idea now) and I am only using one 13w 2700k bulb. Everything seemed to be going ok except day three i noticed little white bugs on the soil and pot. Also some of the leaves were turning yellow and hangind down. I watered and let it be. Two days later the bugs are still there and i was worried. I went and bought SNS 203. Gave a feeding of the 203 and the recommended doses of nutes from the Recipe for Success box. Leaves dont look as yelloow but im getting crazy roll up on them now. To me it doesnt seem like the plant is growing.

Please help me with any advice you have.

What are these bugs? Are they harmful to me and my house?

pics r from today. I bought some fox farm ocean forest, can i change to that soil or is it to late? will it help with the bug problem?

So on sunday I changed out pots and soil to a new 1 gall and FFOF. I gave it a feeding right after with distilled water. Check Ph and it was 6.5. Add another light and placed it to the side of the plant. When changing soil i tried to knock off as much of the old MG soil because i think that was my bug problem. I don't think i hurt the roots or shocked the plant at all because it is starting to look like my baby is finally making progress on new growth and the bug problem seems to have gone.

Some concerns: 1.The plants leaves are turning down sometimes and then flipping back up later. Idk if this means the bulb is to close or not?

2.Also some of the leaves on the edge have turned black or yellow, with some leaves being kinda of crispy.

3. The whole plant seems to not being growing straight up, it seems to be growing almost diagonal

I am happy about the new growth though, it seemed for a while that the plant wasnt growing and now it looks to have picked up a little. The pics are from sunday and today.

Any Advice on my problems would be a big help. Also does anyone have any info on the Razzleberry strain?

I tried to enhance some of the photos so the plant looks really yellow in two pics but its really not that yellow. I also tried Supercropping but idk if it is working out. One of the pics you can see the branch on the bottom is pinched and hung over.

The reason your plant isn't growing straight up is because it is leaning towards the light you have mounted vertically on one side of it. In order to prevent this from happening, simply rotate your plant 90 degrees everyday, exposing a different face of the plant to the light each day. Since your plant is already leaning so far to one side though, i would flip it away from the light and leave it there for a few days to see if it straightens out first. Also, you can try to bend and tie it the the shape the suits your grow space best. Good luck

Ty for the info. When I bought the clone it already had a lean to it. I'm going to stake it I think. Do u know y I'm getting flipped leafs and what looks to be black edges on small areas.

Gave her a feeding of distiller water today. Started seeing a lot more new growth all over the plant. I'm wondering though, I have a one gall pot 3/4 full and I only seem to water less then a half gall and she is soaked. Does this sound right? Also checked the ph on the water before feeding and it was 5.0 but checking runoff and it's 6.5. Is that ok?

Yesterday I bought a temp/ humidity reader. Temp is always between 70-79 and humidity is 55 or below. Today I went and got two new lights, I used a splitter for two 100w cfl to go with my 75w plant light ( Walmart). Since I added more light I also added a small fan and have it in the corner. I have it blowing towards the light and plant. Wondering if the plant moving some is bad? Plant looks good. Pics r coming soon.

Friday was the start of week 3 for veg. The plant really seems to be taking off now. New growth everywere and the leaves are getting bigger and coming alot faster. The new lights must really be helping. I still see something on the leaves in certain areas, it looks like water marks almost. I dont think it is hurting the plant at all. I used a diluted nutes feeding on friday and am about to give a distilled water feeding right now. The temp in the room is always 70 to 78 but it does get up to 82 sometimes. Hope that is hurting her to bad, the humidity is always below 40%. I think i want it higher but i dont want to mess with her since she is doing fine right now.

I had tried supercropping one of the lower branchs. FAIL. I ended up cutting it off and actually putting more soil in the pot to the rim. Idk if it helped it grow but it didnt seem to hurt it. Lately i have just been using my sissors to kinda of bend and push down on the branches, new growth seems to be shooting out from everywere now.

Im only going to let her veg for another 2 weeks then i will try to flower. I am actually pretty happy, this is the first grow and things seem to be working out after a horrible start.


Anyone with comments or advice?

Topped the plant two days ago and so far no real big growth. I hope I didn't mess it up. First time trying. Plan to switch to flower next Friday. I have only heard one thing about flowering time for razzleberry and it was 56 days. I will go based on looks and advice, pics to follow later.

Been busy so its been hard to put up pics. The razzleberry clone seems to be growing great. This is the fourth week of veg and actually tomorrow i will be switching to the flower stage. The plant has been sucking the water down, i am about to start watering every two days.

After topping the plant it seemed to go pretty slow but once it started growing it really shot up. My only concern is that there seems to be some mutant looking leaf growthing coming from one of the tops. I hope it grows out properly so that i dont lose yeild.

Being my first grow and using little money, i think she a nice plant. My local shop is having a clone blowout next week, im thinking of grabbing some banana kush, blue dream and diesel x blueberry.

Do i need to change my lights when going to the flower stage? When do i stop giving nutes? ( barely have given any so far) Do i need to flush anytime?

any comments or advice?
