lol thats a nice post CB,
anyway im using miracle gro - moisture control & miracle gro plant feeder..ive not had problems with that , all my problems relate to the lighting so id be abit more patient in replys from peeps on here because one person will tell you one thing then another will rule that out with something else , in my short experience id say plant feeder is needed after 2weeks of sprouting , it has guide lines on it also ... Gl

with MG soil, you don`t need other nutes, it`s full of em. that`s why ppl don`t use it as it burns mj easy. if you see signs that your plants are lacking nutes, then go in with half strenghth nutes.
if you go with full strenghth you`ll burn your gals for sure.

oh shuggy , its been about a month realisticly since ive used plant feeder , its once every 2weeks , only way i can explain my plant shooting up is because of it , since the lights are crap & humidity wasnt too brilliant to start ... ive not seen any signs of burning at all & hopfully i wont

nice plants man not sure about soil or not but your babys are looking good man.cant wait to see them grow int adults.peace

not to mean any offence here UK1 but your plants look thin and hardly any growth on them,this is your lighting problem.
other ppl use differing methods, but one things for sure- no one will tell ya that those lights you have are adequate for the job at hand.
aquarium lights are the cheapest (power-glo 18000k £13.49) you will need a ballast for these lights.
I`m experimenting with them now with good results,and i only have 40w!
although for flower i`ll be using my 400w HPS.
no-one will tell you "porkies,lol" only differing info, some which may be the wrong advice, but not on purpose.
everything i have told you is fact, no doubt. Although this is only my third grow, but i learned alot from those failed attempts.This grow will come through "hopefully ",swing by my journal man.
It`s all a learning curve,atleast until you have a successful crop under your belt.
good luck dude, Shuggy.:48: :stoned:

yea i know mine is crap shuggy lol but im just stating that the hight is good

but where its grown so much its concentrated on hight not width of the root & what not

 

[Uk1]

always remember that with cfl`s, they should be kept about 2 inches above the ladies at all times.This is to ensure tight nodes,which will become your future bud sites. As yours are tall and thin you will deffinately have a reduced yeild, possibly even potency as your plants have had to stretch for the lights. BTW, how close do you have the bulbs to the plant tops, and how many nodes do you have?
also, how old are they?
