So this is my first grow of anything like this, only other plant I own is a venus flytrap. I planted 3 seeds in Jiffy pucks on the 14th of March. One grew up to deformed cotyledon leaves and died. The first one to sprout is the scrawny sad one, the other one took an extra day or so to pop up. I just transferred them from 1L pots to 1.8L pots So far I have overwatered them, underwatered them, given them too much nutrients. From the 14th March until 4th April, they stood in the windowsill with random amounts of sun, from then they have been under a “Roleadro 300w LED Grow Light”. They are now inside a clothes cupboard, small gap left open and a pc fan blowing over them. I went with coco from the local shop as my medium. I need to at some stage start using the “BioBizz Fish-Mix”, but need to figure out how much and how much water per day.

I have mixed a few things up.... The 300w seems to have been to much, they now under an 85w CFL On weekends i put them outside for proper sunlight. The grow cupboard is finished and has a big fan ontop and a small one at the bottom. Started with Kelpak about 2 weeks ago, this seems to have helped. Started a couple of days ago with the bio-grow

Thanks for that....you are mostly right. Everyone i spoke to in person tells me different things, too much contradictory advice. In this country i dont know of anyone that is growing CBD and the people that do grow are growing some random strain that grows anywhere. So i could either spend months of research or just jump in and learn. Sadly no funds to just buy the right equipment, so will get as and when i can.

Well you are definitely off to a rough start my friend! The 2 plants look terrible and makes me sad. Saying that we never give up and I think you can salvage 1 plant :) So you did a transplant from 1l to 1.8l pots. This was totally useless. 0.8l of extra medium will not do much but I can guarantee the plants had not rooted out that 1l pot? Now you are in the 1.8l pots you need to let the plant to establish a root zone and also you need to get the plants on a wet/dry watering regime. This is very basic You water until you get 20% run-off. If using 1l then you want 200ml coming out the pot. Now get the pot after draining and feel the weight. After this don't water again until the plant pot is very light and most of the water has been sucked out of the medium. This forces the roots to search for water and then produce your foundation. I would only use very little feed at this stage. Some root stimulator and a very little ammount of veg feed. Say 25% of recommend dose :) I'll drop back in to see how you are doing :) All the best Mark..

Bro, Wtf? I'll say it if no one else will. It seems like you did 0 research and preparation before you started, you lack the proper equipment, and your trying to grow in someone else's house. I like you. I see a lot of potential. You'll be looking to yield a bowl pack but you keep on trying bro.

Growing at a steady pace but I would put the bigger light back in as this is the stage when they will need all the lumens you have available. This will help to grow the biggest plants and maximize end yield ;) Just a thought mate :) All the best Mark..
