This plant is an emergency transplant from extreme stress. It's sitting in topsoil, but all my nutrients are for coco. Again it was an emergency and the only thing I had was topsoil.
I *expect* it will probably hermie which is why this plant is going to be going outside as soon as the weather is good enough and if it doesn't hermie I will just be using it to take clones.
It was sitting under 2 CFLs and doing pretty bad, when I put it under this 240W LED it perked up FAST.
I do not know why I constantly hear about pH being off. Perhaps that is something people routinely do? I do not, I pH everything I give plants or use (this comes from my being a Chemist I suppose).
This was her first feeding of relatively full strength nutes (EC 1.1) because like I said it was in topsoil I have not gone full bore putting coco nutrients into topsoil. Also the first week and a half it was being given almost no fertilizer because it was struggling. I will continue to move up in nutrient but imo it's better to give your plant less food and then learn to give it more on the next feeding then to burn your plant with too many nutes.
I do not know what the correct pouring method is, I pour along the outside of the pot while I turn it around (I do not pour water directly in the middle).
I'm not sure how you can say it looks 'far from healthy', its nice and green, it's growing fast now and the only thing I can see is a small amount of drooping which may have to do with letting it dry out a lot before I watered it again (which I will always do).
I appreciate the advice and please give me all the advice you've got. I am just confused you can tell me my pH is off (when we've never spoken) or how you can say its far from healthy. Maybe my camera doesn't pick up greens very well, but it looks great to me for being a shocked plant being fed coco nutrients in topsoil.
