The ladies seem to start flowering. They don't really grow in height ... Too much light? I let 1st lady grow as she wants to. 2nd one still doing LST on her. End of Day 29 added 2ml/l Biobloom and 1ml/l Topmax to 2nd lady and some Ph7 water until pot was full ... 1st lady gets just Ph 7 water around 1-2 l.... Set up plant light up to real 120W (300W as prospect says ;-))(plus 4x 10W Philips Bulbs) (60 x 60 cm @ 25 cm, 2 plants) Watering 2nd lady was around 1-2 l after 3-4 days Day 32: 2nd lady was very light green ... Feeded her with a 8-6-6 nut 2ml hope not too much ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Your plants are fine brother ! They aren't suffering from anything . The main thing you wanna focus on when they are young like that is not over watering them . Your starting PH in a soiless mix in my opinion should be 6.1 6.2 and you would gradually move it up to 6.3 or 6.4 this will ensure that your plant will not suffer from nutrient lock outs . I can see that you are folliar spraying your plants although this is good for them I wouldn't do it every day I would do it every 3 days or so , reason being is that when they are young like that a lot of what they absorb is through the leaves , so do it sparingly when young like that so you avoid over watering issues . As they get a little bit older you can add a rooting stimulate like piranha or voodoo juice (anything like those products is fine don't have to be those ones) a chelation agent ( humic / fulvic acids) and very very very light dose of which ever Veg solution you have chosen . If you do these things you will have no problems in the veg cycle and you will have wonderful healthy plants . I hope I've helped a little bit :)

Height is over rated. What you want is an even canopy; that been said, the stretch will pick up its pace during the 2nd week of flowering. Now lights, your grow space is 60*60 (4 sq ft) for LED lights, you need between 30 to 40 watts per sq ft, in this case 150 watts puts you at 37.5 watts / sq ft, so I don't recommend more light, but if you can get away with it, get the lights closer, that will certainly help the plant, as long as the temperature at canopy level is appropriate; keep in mind that getting the light closer increases the intensity of light dramatically for the plant. Since you are using a soiless media, I would add some form of cal / mag additive, just enough to get 0.5 EC (250 PPM) as a base water (0.5 to 1 cc per liter should do, depending on your water EC/PPM). Also up the biogrow to 2 cc/lt and start adding bio-bloom as soon as you see the first flowers (2 cc / lt should do for starters).

With my cocktail for 2nd lady I reach an EC of 580 ppm. Is that enough or should I gain nutrients? It seems she stopped growing into height. Should I do something against that? What is a good amount of cal/mag in the water?

OutForRealanswered grow question 6 years ago
Hello ! At that stage in soilless medium you should already be around 1.5 / 1.7 Ec and the cal mag should represents 0.3 points of Ec which mean that with a tap water at 0.3 Ec you add cal mag until 0.6 is reached then you go to 1.5/1.7 by mixing your nutrients. So to answer your question : yes you need to add more nuts. And you can't do anything to make her gain more height as the stretch is now almost done so until harvest the gain of height will not be up to 5cm. I hope it will help you ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘

They're about to triple in size, mine looked a lot like yours in week 5 and it went from 23 cm to 60 in a week . Also I wouldn't do bloom fertilizers yet, it's going to be another week or too to actually flower, you have preflowers. They still need the nitrogen for their stretch

@growdoctordc, I really like seeing them express themselves I their own way too. Makes the plants feel more... Alive

growdoctordccommented6 years ago
@Alpaca, You raise a point I have meant to address for a while, and Iโ€™m prompted now. I both thank you and apologize for having selected your post as an example of how oneโ€™s experience is oneโ€™s experience only, and we should be careful to then extrapolate โ€œThis is what happened to me, so this is whatโ€™s going to happen to youโ€. Every grow... every grower will have a unique experience due to all the variables, even when using identical seeds or clones. Maybe these plants will triple in size. Maybe not. Itโ€™s hard to speculate accurately how another grow will develop based upon a personal experience. And I find that one of the most fascinating aspects of cannabis. It has a strong personality of its own!

@howie03, You'll see friend, mine showed preflowers since week 4 but it only started really flowering late in week 6. I saw your close up, those are the first preflowers.

Your lady nr 1 is looking as if she has wet roots/ rootproblems, the second is looking very nice. Both got a very nice shape, wonderful dwarf do you have little black flies in your room=?

@Mrs_Larimar, Thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š I hope I will not overfeed my 2nd lady. She's developing very nice! There appear some light green dots/areas on some of the leaves of the main cola. Is that normal? (pic 40: 2nd lady main cola)

@howie03,but they look great... dont care about a few tips^^. brown tips normally is N excess but its not actual its an old damage

howie03commented6 years ago
@Mrs_Larimar, Now 1st lady doesn't look droopy any more. I think I have overwatered her. Some tips are getting brown and google says that could be one cause. It's not easy to find out if there is enough water in the granulate because it's very heavy. Maybe it's not the best medium for the plant but we will see.

Don't worry about a few leaves at the bottom yellowing and dying. The plant does that because those leaves weren't getting enough light. My big girls both lost about 6 leaf sets at the bottom

he is looking good and healthy. The has good Disatance between the Nodes. And yes you can give her more LIght... but the 150 watt should be enoughfor only one plant. Yes LST is a good thing. Most Automatics respond very well on it. I wont top her.. its alwys adecision how well does a plant grow, and i dont see her as aTopping candidate. Youve choosen good genetics from RQS. She wont be a giant, but if you treat her nice she will give you a good yield. here are some RQS dwarf grows that are spectacular. Have a look ( dont remember the grower atm) If you want to do LST start now .. you will have atime-window for 10-14 days to do it
