Hey all, long time reader, first time posting. I found myself a bunch of seeds in some bags I got and decided to try out growing so that I can save myself money. Decided to just go at it instead of looking into it first. I germinated a seed and then threw it into a solo cup with some dirt from my yard.
After seeming to be doing just fine with the dirt I decided to continue using it, until I started seeing a brownish color on her leaves and she slowed down her growing rate. So I came onto RIU and read about the different problems I might have been having.
I decided to get some Fox Farms Ocean Forest dirt and transplanted her into a new, real pot, and into her new dirt, which she really loved and took in all she could, taking off from her slow rut she seemed to be in.
I topped her once she got a bit bigger and she took that quite well too. She is almost 90 days into veg, and once she hits 90 I plan on turning the lights to 12/12 and start a molasses treatment as well. My box was just a quick throw together project which has light leaks that I have read can cause fluffy or light buds, so I figured I could add the molasses to help with that.
I just put an extra 2 150 watt equivalents in my box, but lower than the other lights to help reach the lower sites. I will continue to update with new information and pictures as we move along, just wanted to get a post up to let all of you here on RIU know how much help i've received here. I dedicate my first grow to you, RIU, now lets hope she really is a girl once I flip those lights. Feel free to add an comments or advice you would like. Time to toke up!
