What's up all. Newbie from England here. In a similar situation to nordey b here. Currently in 3rd week of veg (5-6 ish weeks from seed) stage in my first coco grow ( 5x super iced grapefruit feminised seeds) and hoping not to have hurt my babies with nute burn and/ or nute lockout. Been browsing website as a guest trying to fish for useful info but didn't wanna self diagnose and make problems worse, also thought there's no better time than the present to ask, as I know there is some excellent info on here. Pictures and more info available if needed to help diagnose. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hope all is well fellow growers and smokers alike.

Hello there! I am new and also on my second grow!
What type of setup have you got and what strain/s are you growing?
Hello TheStickMan I am using a diy box that is 37 in x 26 in about 6 sq ft. I am using CFL's (4) 20 watt 1600 lumen's and (1) 23 watt 1800 for a total of 8200 lumen's and counting.:cool: For soil I am using Organic Scott's Earth Grow.

Hey guys,

I'm a first time grower with only one plant and I need your help, please! So my baby is about 5 weeks old and I got her from a bag. Here are her living conditions:

Potting Soil - Miracle Gro
Nutrients - 15-30-15 (watering when soil is dry)
Lighting - (2) 23 watt cfls @ 18 inches away
Light consumption - 12/12

I clipped her at her fifth node. I tried super cropping her bigger leaves but she broke:(. I tapped her up and she actually healed.

My question is....Should I being doing something different i.e. (boosting the fertilizer, trimming her smaller leaves). I will be transplanting her shortly because I see her roots at the bottom of the pot.

Thanks for your input!
I am no experienced growing but I have seen a few things that could use some tweeking.
1 I think you may neew more lights. I have 4 20 watt and 1 23 watt.
2 I think you need to adjust the distance of the plants to the light to about 2-3 in away. dont worry they wont but I do know that from experience.

Good stuff, I'm not really that far a head maybe 2- 3 weeks at the most. You'll have to keep me up to date on how things are going. This is my first crack at wanting some fine smoke at the end ( here's to hoping anyways haha). Here's a look at my set up/ room just incase your interested. Peace image.jpg

Ah I see. It took a good couple of weeks for mine to look more like plants as apposed to seedlings. But I'm a newbie myself and was germinating with a 600w mh so they ended up tall and thin, so I kept on burying them up to just under there leaves with coco until they got some beef on them. But you live and learn as they say. image.jpg This was them looking rather slim haha.

Greetings everyone! Long time reader, been registered a few years now, first time poster and currently have 3 successful casual CFL closet/cabinet grows under my belt. First grow being DWC Blue Cheese and the second two Lemon Haze in soil. Well I've since upgraded from the closets and CFLs to a 12' by 8' sealed room with a 600w Platinum Led grow lamp. I have 2 beans, unknown strain (likely GDP) germinating in soil at the moment and as I progress I'll start a journal in case anyone feels like checking it out!

Peace!

No you right, my seedlings were stretchin for the light but I had to keep it quiet far away so I didn't burn them. Every time the where getting to talk I buried them higher. They have had 2 weeks seedling stage and 3 weeks vegetation stage. I'm gonna give them an extra few weeks as hight restrictions don't apply and because I snapped one of the branches :( by an accident lol.image.jpg Here's them a few days after the last pick. Maybe 1 week after breaking the surface
