this is my first grow I am using seeds from pot I've purchased over the last 6 months. I always save seeds if I find them in six months and about 5 pounds of pot I collected about 12 seeds. I germinated them and got them under light. I was frustrated at first because of slow growth but week two is a different story. I have been using this bush doctor wholly mackeral it's a 3-1-0 and also an alfalfa feed and I did not see alot of growth the first week but this last week I've see real growth they are growing pretty good

It happens when you plant your seeds some will come out stronger then other thats normal . From I can see in your pictures theres nothing wrong with your plants they are happy and healthy , the only thing i might suggest is using abit of CalMg this will get rid of your red stems . You can do it by either mix it up with water in a spray bottle as a foliar spray or you can just add it to your plants feedings . Either way your plant looks completely normal . Some plants have different pheno types because its a multi genetic plant but the differences wont be really big as most of the genetics out there are pretty stable . All in all I'd say keep up the good work and get ready for a kick ass harvest ! I hope this information helps you ! -Happy Growing!

week 3 is going great I am getting the hang of it all I started with nothing and built a rudimemtrey grow room just for kicks and giggles now I getting obsessed and starting to really pay attention to my numbers and giving my girls what they need. ask the plants get older that red is going away so... one plant has had red stems from the start and is booming so ...I topped all my plants at the 4 the node and a couple are slow to respond but I have 3 plants that just started booming as soon as I topped the amount of new growth is exciting

this is actually the end of my fourth week I am at 30 days. today I started giving the girls some nutrients to see if they will just take off. after I topped all of the place to they are growing fast both new main stems are visibly growing each day. I have a question though when do you top again and at what place?

Hi David, welcome to GD and hello to your first Grow. i will follow up to see whats going on with your 3 Bagseeds. lets hope these ones are Girls.. or the most of it^^ Athos and Dr, Puf answered your Question. A few additonsfrom me I hope you are well prepared for your grow and got some helpful Tools PH/EC pen Ph up and Down Thermo/hygrometer... your Humidity is higher than 8 percent isnt it=? and in my Opinion 3 ml of Fertiliser are way to much/to early for the Girls. Its better to start with less and later. The soil should have enough food for them And Calmag is useless if you have red stems.....( Plus this is most time in that stage strain related. For example on an OG -Kush) you will only add more N into the Plant

I have kind of bombarded you with info but I do have a question about the red stems. there are at least three maybe four different strains of pot they are random seeds all from fire bud I have bought. so I should not worry at this point?

@davidmfn, hi david, if you answer without pushing the relpy button or writing an @ with the growename no one knows that you have been writing something..........if you have had had aquestion for me i did not know it, Ive been reading your post today and saw your feeding, its pretty high dosage, especially the N, All Supplements you use are containing N,,, my advice, recuce the strength of your Feeding by 50 percent.or skip the bush doctors wholly mackarel. If you overfeed the plant with N she will get sick, less nutes is never aproblem to a plant. The red stems is no problem , its strain related go to growweedeasy and look for their help, you find everything on this site. if you are unsure, hit the reply button or talk per PM with me. then i can see your writings

thank you for your insight/knowledge like I said I am a first time grower and I will take your advice. I am going to get pH up and down when I get paid also that red stem.rhing how do I get rid of it and I will stop using the feed when is a good time to start feeding that mixture? as far as humidity I don't know what it is but I will invest in all the tools you suggested. this is my get it right try next time I am going full hydro I am going to build a Dutch bucket system for like 10 plants and every time add a few buckets.
