The progress of my current and first grow

[Ganja_Greg]

if you had to guess how old does my plant look guys? stem still floppy..

 

[BizzyHigh]

Its hard to say because I have always used HPS lights for my grows and under the lights you are using the plant would develope differently than anything i have ever seen.. Also what are you considering as age (time when the seedling broke the surface or when you started to germinate the seed?) But if I had to guess i would say the plant is about 2 weeks old give or take a few days..

 

[yungmune]

how old is your plant these days?

 

[Ganja_Greg]

well its about 2 and a half weeks old give or take a few days, i had alot of problems with it from the get go , i put it through alot of stress but it pulled through , it stretched 7 inches from having the incorrect lighting and to top it off the light was almost 9 inches away from the plant , i was really beginer at that point.

Bizzyhigh: im using 3 CFL , one is a 26w 6500k 1600 lumen , another is 13w 4100k 800 lumen , the other one is a 24w 2700k 1200 lumen, and then i have a bar floro in the back of my box for added light that puts off another 500 lumen and is in the 2700k range i dont use it that much those it gets hot.. im trying a broad color spectrum for veg.

when is a good time to start flowering? how will i know when toi want the plant 1'-2' tops

 

[Wise Man]

I would say,switch when your plant hits it's 4th-5th set.Remember,when plants are put into flowering they can nearly 3 in sise.

Increasin your tops-you could top,or LST.Both will produce more colas,and keep the plant much shorter(great in your case).

EDIT.If your plant starts leaning to one side,because its stem is weak,slit a straw vertically,and place it around the stem.

 

[Ekoostik_Hookah]

move your lights closer, i would put the double light, right over the plant, with a light on each side of it.
have it like 2-3 inches away.

 

[Ganja_Greg]

some of the leaf's seem to be curling upward, is this normal? the two big leafs that first grew are fine but some of the new leafs are curled. i gave it a good watering yesterday and raised the lights up a bit , cuz the plant grew almost 3 CM since my lights original positioning.

OK the first thing ya need to do is be patient. Roam wasn't built in a day as they say. So i don't have to read 3 pages i'm gonna ask a few questions.

What are the temps?
What are you using for lights?
What kind of soil?
How often do you water?

Temps: are 78-85 degree's

Lights: 1 GE 26w 6500k 1600 lumen CFL, 1 13w 4100k 800 lumen CFL , 1 24w 2700k 1200 lumen CFL, and 1 bar flor that puts off another 500 lumen and 2700k color. colors all threw the spectrum

soil: is just basic potting soil i had in the garage , i dont even have the bag anymore ,

water: whenever the soil on top is crusty and dry.

also i have some all purpose MG plant foot , its 24-8-16 , havnt used it yet just wondering if i should next watering im on a tight budget will this work or will it fry the plant?

 

[Runbyhemp]

Nice 'n green Greg :aok:

 

[THE BROTHER'S GRUNT]

I wouldn't put any of that on her. I use MG soil but stay away from the nutes. If ya can try and get some Fox Farm nutes.

[Ganja_Greg]

TGB what do you think of my set up? lights , temp , soil etc?? grow box

Also, just started trying to germ 2 seeds ive had for awhile they have been in a pretty cold storage area. is there hope for them still?

 

[PurpleSkunk]

EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD JUST REMEMBER BLUE AND RED SPECTRUM IS BETTER,I THINK PEOPLE SAY ONE FOR VEGG,ONE FOR FLOWER BUT IF U HAVE BOTH,I THINK ITS BETTER TO USE BOTH!!!!JUST KEEP THE LIGHT CLOSE MAKE SURE U GOT SOME GOOD SOIL DONT OVER WATER AND YOU SHOULD BE FINE.ps
