Just finished watering the girls. Each one got 1-1/2 Teaspoon of Fox Farm's Grow Big,

N- 6%
P- 4%
K- 4%

What ratio to water is that 1.5 tsp you gave them? 1 gallon? You probably want to tread on the light side right now since this is their first feeding.

 

[Bakatare666]

Agreed......
For the first couple feedings go easy, then you can ramp it up.

 

[Ghettobird209]

Wtf? i guess my other reply didnt ever go up lol attempted to post at like 6:20 but it didnt happen? any who

So i watered them 1-1/2Teaspoon Each with there Half of a gallon. i water very slowly in a time span about 4-7mins to water the half of a gallon to make sure all of the soil gets wet.

On the Bottle it says for a light load do 3teaspoons per gallon of water, so i did 1-1/2 for each of my half a gallon. It states for a heavy load do 4-5teaspoons per gallon. (ill attempt that waaay later on lol)

 

[Bakatare666]

OK, cool.
When you said 1 1/2, I was hoping you didn't add to the recommended dose, but you mixed that 1 1/2 to a whole gallon, right?

 

[natro.hydro]

I was just worried you were doing that per one of those dasani bottles you used lol. But that is not a bad start just make sure next time you water is straight water, do not get all ahead of yourself and dose them again too soon... You will see significant improvement and soon just do not freak out.

No each 1-1/2 Teaspoon for each half gal. Each plant got a half gal

LMAO hell no that would be sucicide!!! yah thats what it says on the bottle and your telling me that so i'll listen! haha and to be quite honest i think i already did. didnt get to check on them this morning so first time i looked at them was 30mins ago so it was 30hrs after feeding and some leafs look Alot bigger already and fuller! The leafs that looked weird dont feel all dry how they felt yesterday either. They feel "almost" like there healthy counter parts.

So, you basically put 1 1/2 Tbsp/ gal, compare that to the instructions, LOL
I didn't think you would burn, unless you put that to a 20 oz. bottle or something though, you're good to go.
I just curious, how did you measure 1 1/2 tsp?
Eyeball it, or actually use the 1/2 tsp spoon?

no i put 1-1/2 Tsp / 1/2 of gal? where do you get tbsp from? Yah i did the Directions state for light load do 3tsp/1gal. So i did 1-1/2tsp/1/2gal. and luckily just moved out of parents a week b4 i started my grow op so i bought all the home essentials (which included measuring cups) so yes i did actually measure with a half teaspoon spoon

LOL are you trying to confuse me?
No, you were right on recommended dose, half of dose, half of liquid, I'm just not used to seeing 1 1/2 tsp, and at same time, you mentioned 1/2 gal. LOL
That's what threw me off, thinking tsp to Tbsp is 2 to 1, and trying to figure your math after I've been drinking and also reading fast/ skimming, basically focusing on you had good growth, not burning.

I think we both got a little confused there haha gotcha i was just using that / sign too much
Yes exactamundo it seems like growth and not drooping or stunted(ness), You guys were really right, Patience is really key in growing Tree. as i continue to let my girls do there thing with out tweaking with them "attempting" to make them better than i probably could, im glad i did because im getting happier and happier everyday seeing new/bigger growth!

 

[Bakatare666]

Ya, I know we want to treat it as a kid, but it's just a plant, no matter what we name it (Ninja), so don't over love it.

Right on bro, glad things are going good, also check plants for mites. Was getting clones and didn't know where they came from, till I got more clones. lol, but mites can come from anywhere.

 

[Ghettobird209]

GROW UPDATE START OF DAY 20:

so Just got done watering them today, and actually cut some of the old nasty leafs off. I know i read some things and they say leave them on until they fall off on there own, but others say cut them because that good be growth some where else, So i guess ill be the 2nd kind? (chime in if i just fucked up) Also One of them is surpassing the rest, Growing very strong and big, these ones are falling behind!!!!! What to do???

 

[natro.hydro]

You have a couple optioms to look at. could top that one for some e perience in that, could just bend it over to redistribute auxins if you dont want to top, or you could supercrop, by this I mean pinch the stem. Glad to see you worked out that nute problem, I am currently in fight with a deficiency brought on by me thinking I should veer off my nutes schedule... Wat i get for thinking i know more about plant nutrition than the good people of fox farms lol, uust didnt want to burn them and was seeing how far they could go from seed on just the soil

 

[Bakatare666]

Nah, you're OK, but in the future, I wouldn't pull anything unless it's all crumbly/ burned, whatever.
Just think of the good one as the 'tall kid in the class'.

Lol, those leaves look like they were ready to come off bud. It looks like theres somthing very not right going on with those plants, maybe you already know this, ill read back a bit and see

 

[Bakatare666]

Ya, it looks like a P def. and a heat issue towards the top, but I think he got it handled.

 

[Ninjabowler]

Its been a while since i saw them lol, actually they are starting to come around pretty good, the two on the end dont look great still but the first two are looking nice. I dont know if you plan on topping to promote side growth but if you do plant 1 looks like you could get a clone off the top and bring it down to the same level as the other ones. Wouldnt hurt either just in case the one on the other end doesnt make it through and it would be good practice cloning

Haha Ok ok But to be honest i think it helped! The day after i did it i could see growth spring up fast. Lol damn well shes like twice the size of her class mates!!!!!!!!!!!! actually the other strong one is almost as tall as the big one now, But i woke up yesterday morning and noticed that the big one was kinda leaning to one side? i did notice that the side it was leaning to did have more growth but not much more over night? so i stuck a little stick under a branch to keep it straight up. ill get a pic soon

Yah they are doing good. i believe the Def i had is handled Shit im just scared to cut of the top of that thing and then it die or something hahahaha idk im just bein a newb i guess.
