Looking good so far. I'm a little surprised you haven't burned it by feeding it so early, but looking at the pictures your doing fine. Every 3-4 weeks you should flush to wash out the salts. You don't technically have to, but I know Miracle Gro suggests doing that on their site, so I'd do it. It can only help. Other then that, keep at it. Follow the directions on the bottle and their website. Learn about the nutrients your using so you get the most out of them, and above all, listen to your plant.

yea I add like 7 drops into 1 quart of water when I feed. I usually wait until a inch and a half of dry soil on top then give it a quart. I'm afraid to give it more since the bottom of my pot has no holes, I forgot to make some lol.
the first week and 3 days I was on 18/6 then I let it run 24/0 after .right now I got it under 3 cfls, 2 of them 40 watt 5000k, 1 65 watt 6700k and 1 LED bulb hitting the big leaf then I rotate the pot around to the other side every day I get home. got a 400 watt MH/HPS coming in this week.

First thing man ditch the MG its b.s get yourself some foxfarm soil and nutes. If your starting out fox farm has some of the easiest stuff to use and its formulated for marijuana. I personally know an old head who has used FF for 20 years and will not use any other. He uses store bought butes and shakes down 4-5 oz monsters on the regular. Second, if you planter has no holes, make some!! This is essential to let the water run off the allow fresh o2 to reach the soil and roots! Third your veg cycle is messed up 18/6 is ALL you need. 24hrs is b.s!!!! The ONLY time is use 24hrs of light is the first 3 days when cotlydon breaking the soil, or for 3 days when i have taken fresh clones. Otherwise you experience diminshed returns, trust me im telling you, jorge cervantes would, and ed rosenthal. If you dont know them i suggest you grab a book n read lmao......think about it, besides Alaska and Antarctica does the sunlight stay out in nature 24hrs?

And WHY are you feeding bloom booster in veg!?!?!?!?! My friend you need to do some research on this site or buy a book. Anyone can put a seed in the ground and grow "pot", but an educated individual, with passion of the plant to figure out anything and everything about it. From the stuff it eats, to what it breathes, to what kills it, and what feeds off of it, you need to know as much of these as possible in order to grow "dank pot".

If it's plastic (and not an actual garden container) you need holes or at the very least a 1-2 inch layer of rocks at the bottom. You still have time to fix it and drainage is really important. If its terra cotta (clay) then don't even worry about. But if it's plastic, fix it asap. Just wait until the soil gets dry and it'll be easier to take it out in one piece. Once that's fix, a better way to check your water levels is to lift the container once or twice a day. When it feels 50% lighter, water heavy until you see run off. Then don't mess with it until it feels light again.

If it's an actual plastic garden container, it might not have holes that you can see. Instead it could have a built-in saucer. When you water heavy, these newer containers still let run off to escape. It just takes a bit more water for the run off to come out. I couldn't tell from the pick if it was a garden container or a regular bucket.

Shit, I didn't even catch that. He's right. MG is one thing, but bloom isn't until flower. You want Nitrogen right now. Fuck I don't know how I missed that. My bad.

Ah wait, I just checked MG's website. NPK is 15-30-15. That's why your fine. It has everything, so no worries. A little more P then I'd personally like, but eh, your still fine.

lol thats why i posted on here thanks. i would have bought a book but i have no time to read with the 1 day that i have off i'm trying to get a lot done in little time

i got the refilled bottled liquid one for the gun its 12-9-6 i just add the drops to the bottle water and feed, pot has a saucer i looked at the other empty one i have. still gonna pop a hole in the bottom .

Good luck, be sure to use logic and reasoning before making any decisions in your grow. I had to learn this the hard way as well, now on my second grow too.

If you have some extra cash, you could go to Home Depot and pick up some organic "Alaska Fish Emulsions" (NPK 5-1-1) for $6. The high nitrogen and low P & K will encourage the plant to focus on leave and stem development and it's less likely to burn your plants. When your ready to flower switch back to your Bloom formula or buy the Alaska MoreBloom (NPK 0-10-10). I had really good results with that stuff.

Update: Oh I didn't see your recent post with the other fertilizer you have. That's cool too.

heres what it looks like at 1 month in now. Im gonna let it get a couple feet more bigger before flower. any feedback be nice
added some more pics i took
