If you have any recommendation pls comment, tks alot 50 coco + 50 per I will give the nutrient when the plant has 2 set of leave is it ok ? Which is the best method for beginer growing, i might try LST.

Your Seedling looks fine to me!!👍 The reason it is growing slower right now is because it is focusing its energy on building up its root zone once it does that it will really start to grow so just be patient. As for when you should start feeding, you shouldn't need to feed her for a another week or 2 weeks. The Seedling itself has enough reserves of nutes in it to keep it healthy. make sure you are not over watering you can do this by feeling the weight of the pot when it is dry and then give it its' watering then feel the weight of it once it has been watered make a mental note of what the Dry and Wet weight was and you will know when its time to water pretty simple method yet effective. Happy Growing!!

Hey man that's heat stress from the high temperatures , try keeping the root zone cool by watering with water at 18/19°C and adding enzymes or another chelation agent like humic or fluvic acid to help correct the problem roots. Hope this helps ! 🚀

This week witness a rapid growth after the transplant, i nutes the plant with ph water only because the last time i use my coco coir the runoff is high, today i flush it with ph water of 50ppm and the comeout is 100ppm. there's few leave have white dot on it i think i spray water and then it meet with the direct light make it burn a bit cause no bug found on the back of the leave what do you guys think give me some recommendation. i had been cut off the lower leave to give the plant more energy focus on upper leaves. I need your comment for a better grow thanks a lot 😃

Hi @anhsauxi! Let it be. It's really easy to stunt a flowering plant with too much Nitrogen. Let the plant handle its ressources, she will manage to find enough N to finish her stretch. Happy growing 👊

the bud is growing good in this week, but my only problem is the humidity is high it's around 65 to 70, i have bought a 20 watt dehumidifier but it seem not working ( it still have water absorb in it but the humidity not dropping, maybe i bought a not good dehumidifier) I think i will try to cope with the situation, is there any other solution to fix the problem, my ventilation in the grow tent is ok

This is the end of my flowering stage i see clear trichome and some amber, will cut down my grow tommorow, kinda disappoint about quantities but since it's my first grow i am happy because it look quality since i have test this. My grow mate mistakenly take of all the fan leave this last week make the sugar leave turn yellow, idk will it cause the bud to degrade it quality or just flavor, i was hanging them on tuesday the look is not so good but hopefully the quality overcome the look

The bud is 75% sativa and 25% indica, it is make the energetic high in the first few hours of effect and then feel couch lock after that, it's a great combination To be honest this is the best effect bud i have in my life, i have buying from dispensaries and homegrow dealer but it's better in my opinion

Since it's my first grow i expected the quantity to be around 50 gram, however in the last few week i can't fix the humidity situation ( around 60 - 70 RH) which i belive cause my bud to airy. But the effect and smoke quality of the bud is what make me feel good, very high and relaxed feeling. me and 3 of my friends using a vape with 0.8 gram and that's for the party we feel high for long time. At this grow i have problem with mites and bud rot, i have fixed it but the grow room still high humid. 35 gram for me is ok result hope to get a better result next grow. And finally thanks for you guys to help me with my first grow i appreciated all the comment that helping and consult me for the better yield. Happy growing all.

Hi man, thanks for the recommendation. Do you have picture of a domes, if you have please put a link for me. I am consider trying your method. but i have one concern do it make my plant more heat when the enviroment is already 30 degree celcius 😅 Hope you have good harvest.

@NomNom, 😁Thank you so much man

NomNomcommented6 years ago
@MisterSix, I wouldn’t try the dome with 30+ C if I was you. Try the dome if it gets cooler or if it’s really dry. Looks up vapor pressure density for majiuana plants. There is an optional humidity for the temperature to maximize growth.
MisterSix
MisterSixcommented6 years ago
@NomNom, very detail method, thank you nom nom i will try it when the temp go above 30 degree celcius/ i am a bit concerned bcause i have seen no one doing it but i will definately give it try on my grow to see the affect of this method on my plant. 😁😁😁

@MisterSix, you could bend the branch that is growing fast to be lower than the rest. That’ll get the auxins on the higher branches and give them more growth.

The preflower stage needs a lot of grow nutes to power the stretch. While the need of nitrogen is less in bloom, it's not zero. If the yellowing continues, I would add some N.
NomNom
NomNomcommentedweek 36 years ago
First grows are tough, remember a lot of people on here "cheat" their weeks. They condense a 2 weeks into 1 to make it look like they are growing faster. Also there are a lot of growers here that know the tricks like putting a clear dome over the plant while she is small increases temp, humidity, and protects it, helping it to grow faster. You can buy domes or just use a 2L clear coke bottle, cut the bottom off an place it over the top. Cheering for you! don't get discouraged first grows can be stressful and tough. It gets easier.
