First time growing (closet)

GNick55 · Feb 7, 2021

that’s great, she’s recovering nicely!
id just let her grow in peace for another week or so before topping or LST training.. but that’s just me.
she should grow a bit more and let the roots get settle into the new pot, before anything.
see that “stressful transplant” went good, good job!..

yes that’s ok, you’ll probably have to give a touch more of the veg nutrient next watering.,

Just an update cleaned humidifier, added more powerful lights and no signs of negative reactions to MG so far.View attachment 1089242 View attachment 1089255 she's seems to be enjoying it

12-4-8 is ok for now, closer to 2-4-8 when she flowers. Miraclegro nutes are ok, their potting soil mix is what to avoid. Surely, they aren’t going to miss the cannabis formula for long. That non porous bucket will be hard to water, moisture probe meters are cheap.

Thanks I will keep that in mind

just an update. Increased feeding this morning by about 30% figured to less was easier to fix than too much. Alot of stem growth, a little purple on the stem as well?

GNick55 · Feb 8, 2021

hey looks great!
how far are your lights? or maybe take a photo of plant and light..
i’m thinking you could probably lower it a bit.. but maybe not too..
so the feeding today was good, you’ll see if it was too much in a few days as leaf tips will dry brown “tip burn”.
but yes definitely better to give less as you can add more next time if needed, ya too much will cause problems..
sit back watch her grow!

I lowered an inch before I posted. Don't judge my light lol. My $7 moisture meter already got called out

ok ya you don’t want it closer, maybe even raise it a couple inches, you can see on some of the leaves that the edges are slightly curling up telling you the light is just a tad close or it’s the heat from the lights.. just watch it daily..
did you do the hand test for heat?
well let’s wait and see how she’s doing tomorrow.

I wasn’t calling out your hygrometer, just want to keep an eye on moisture in the bottom of that bucket with one of these probes, around ten bucks. The plant likes a dry cycle. I water to runoff then let it dry til the container is super light again.

I haven't watered till runoff although I do have holes drilled in the side and I was just having a laugh bro lol hygrometer gang. I have been scared to overwater so I have done everything on the light side to be safe

GNick55 · Feb 8, 2021

pretty sure it’s soil your growing in? or?
for the most part if soil or even soilless you don’t want to have runoff or much draining out, as you’ll wash out your macro and micro organisms which help break down the nutrients and feed the plant..
but this is an area of great debate!
your not really having any problems at the moment so don’t worry about runoff.

GNick55 · Feb 8, 2021

do you something like this to put the pot on, it’s good for allowing airflow underneath around the drain holes, helps with getting oxygen to the roots and drying out..

Overwatering is the biggest rookie mistake for sure, and keeping the top dry prevents gnats and other nasties. You really need a handful of perlite in there, its like solid air and doesn’t absorb water. Single layer of gravel in the bottom helps too, but you got this.

I know! I knew of perlite but didn't even think about getting some, as well as the rocks. I've been watering about 8 to 10oz every 2 or 3 days. I have started to let it dry out though. I read many different watering styles when it comes to soil i wonder what's most effective?

do you think I should put some more holes in the side as well? My bottom has a catch pan connected to the pot I can drill holes in that?

I read a couple people saying lack of light, ph, or genetics could cause purple stems but mine is just the very top where the light hits it the top of the stem is purple and bottom green
