Hey i'm a first time grower with a very basic setup i.e 1 x 600w HPS light, and my kitchen cupboard :) lol. I am now on day 36 of flowering. I am growing 2 plants, one is white widow, the other is either AK47 or Amnesia (someone gave me the seeds). Currently I am feeding them between 3-4ml of vitalink earth and 1ml of vitalink buddy. I am just looking for opinions on what you think of my grow so far, I just wanted to see if it would be possible for me to grow with a basic set up. This is the pics of my results so far.

They look pretty good for a first grow, good job!
look like they are being overfed just a bit of burn in the pics.
what type of medium are you growing in?
Soils have food in it, so you don't have to add as much as soil less mediums.

hey thanks for the reply, was actually thinking that, but the person who is meant to be keeping me on track assures me there are no problems. As for the medium I don't know, it was given to me by the same person who is meant to be helping me lol.

Very nice first grow so far. From what I see, your buddy has you on the right track. I wouldn't be too concern about the feeding and just keep what your doing for now. I only seen a few brownish tips and when you start playing around and listening to everyone is when real issues arise. Your leaves will start yellowing real shortly as it gets closer to finishing anyways. The only time too really be concerned is if you feed them then the next day they appear.

hey thanks man :). it's my first grow as was fed up paying money hungry dealers lol. i'm happy with them just now considering how basic my set-up is. and just like prohuman said might be using too much feed.

Looks really great for a first time! I'd give them a shot of Epsom Salts, ask your friend what they think.

Magnesium an immobile and you are showing a light yellowing right at the middle of your plant is why I said that. It won't hurt you either. I throw in 1 tsp/gallon with my regular nutrients every so often.

Yup almost imperceptible!! You know I stopped using a Ca/Mg mix because I'm getting better results without the additional Ca! Saved me a shitload on Botanicare's Cal/Mag Plus (had included Fe), LOL.

You may not have but others obviously did not follow your example. The trick to RIU is sift through the noise for the signal. Keep what's valuable and ignore or enjoy the rest.

Oh and welcome to RIU.
