I am new to the site and new to growing. I am 1 week in and I would love as much help as I can get. I know there are still things to learn that I will encounter along the way. I do not expect perfection;however, I want to learn how to recognize the different deficencies to maintain and promote healthy growth. I want to learn how to maximize my yields. My indoor setup is a 3x3 tent, soil is Fox Farm Ocean Forest and Happy Frog 50/50 mix. I will be using General Hydroponics as my nutrients and Botanicare Cal-Mag I will contnue using CFL's for my seedlings for about 2-4 more weeks. I am looking into Mars Hydro LED lighting afterwards. So, any suggestions, questions, and/or comments will be appreciated. I uploaded some pictures.
check fluence leds.............................mars aint worth it........................and by my book time to drop cfls.....................and get a PAR METER Ij u can
@@grzesiek, can u send a link to a led light sufficient for 3x3 veg AND flower? I have removed cfl's over a week ago. The plants are under a led grow light...its hyper tough led grow light from wal-mart...I will look into the cost of a par meter...i dont know how to read it tho...could u explain...
@@grzesiek, Yes it WAS a male...I wrote that in the description that its a male and R.I.P. to him. Out of the 4, only 1 was a male. As my first grow, I learned a lot growing these 4.
Do you have a ph pen? What is the ph of your water, and how often are you watering? What is the wattage of your cfl that you are using? Please update your grow with this info so we can make some helpful comments. Good luck!
@BeefWellingtons, Currently I am using distilled water and no added nutrients besides what the FFOF/Happy frog has in it. I did check the ph of the plain distilled water, 6.7. She has bounced back and growing more leaves.
@Xquisit, the number one reason why plants show issues is wrong ph. The number two reason is overwatering. Those plugs you have them in are meant to hold moisture, ie every other day may be too much watering (depending on how much water you are giving them). While I'm still a newbie on here, I have looked at hundreds of grows on here. I think you are overwatering, and without a ph pen, my guess is that your ph is off as well. Once she bounces back, you can bring those light closer, Move it down to 2 inches, then a few days later if she's getting bigger and happy, move it down to 1 inch above her.
Also, you need ph up/down to go with that pen.
@CRiSPrGrow, Oh, okay! The pup is a female and the plant is NOT overwatered. Plant soil was bone dry and UNDERWATERED, which leaves droop from that, thank you very much :-)
@CRiSPrGrow, Kind of figured that but I was wondering when is the actual switch from seedling to veg...is it by the days, weeks, how many nodes have grown, etc...
@Xquisit,once you see one male.......................you will see ALL OF THEM.........................and dont progress your learning to autoflower...............................its just waste of time...........................bc bud depot has killer seeds for example.....................thats what i grow
@@grzesiek, I agree;however, its my first grow ever and seeds were gifted. I opted to grow them B4 growing seeds I paid for. I am glad I made that choice because beginners make beginner mistakes and I don't want to make those with seeds that I paid for. I learned so much with this first grow and I am glad I got to see, in person, how to identify male and female plants.
@@grzesiek, ummm correct me if I am wrong, but, I just looked that brand name up and they are extremely pricey, $900+, for a beginner...were you referring to a specific one?
What an interesting leaf discoloration! Nice diary and grow so far @@grzesiek. What brand LED are you using? is the wall wattage 600w or the advertised wattage?
