Hey people, Got an update for you.

So she is 18 days old now and 20cm tall, Looking strong and healthy i think!

Just wondering what your thoughts are?

Could she be flowered off now?
I'm not using any nutes at the moment, she has been in her last pot for almost a week now, should i start now?
the only nutes i have are 7-7-7, ok to use?
temps are around 32-33, water every 3-4 days now,

I only have 60cm left in the height, i dont want her growing too big for the box . so any advise on when to start flowering would be great.

Thanks for your help!!!!:leaf:

smokey

that's a very good recovery, really took of in the last few days
you're very close to where i was when i started flowering
started flowering at 19 days and was 5 inches tall
looking like it's going to finish at 30 inches, so a stretch of 6 x start height
flower is needed, you may want to start reading on some height tricks, 60 cm is probably going to be exceeded

what have you been feeding it during veg?
mostly trying to figure if you want to go chemical or organic
more familiar with organic myself

She has only ever been fed water, im pretty sure im using john arther bowers*(j.a.b) soil.
i do have a bottle of plant feed which is 7-7-7 and containes traces mounts of the rest.

well, whatever you choice, you want more phosphorus/potassium at the end of your grow
so a food that was 2-7-7 would be better than 7-7-7 for flower

Ok, She is 1 month old today and here are the updates!

I done a little LST 1 week ago and the side branches are doing great.

I was going to start the flowering later on tonight, I have 8 26W cfl's and 2 18w tubes on her, That is enough isnt it?

Any advise would be great!:mrgreen:

over 200w is mucho light for 1 plant, that should be plenty
you could probably do with a bit less for the moment, though finishing up with that many watts should be ideal

Thanks for them input Growone/Maniac,

So i now have to timer set 12/12, Light proofing around the 3 fans and lights in posistion. So thats me all set i hope...

Also how long will it take being in flower before i see any changes:? I'm a total first timer lol.

I carnt wait to see what this girl gives me!
She was a feminzed seed, so as long as she has been treated good she will be female, right?

Thanks people

She will be female unless she gets to stressed and goes hermie on you.
You have been pretty good to her so you should be set!

ah yes, now begins the long wait, the time will vary, 1 week for quick responder - 2 weeks for slow - but hey - the curly hairs are just as sweet whenever they show

my experience was about the same growth for a week or 2
then from weeks 2-6 she bolted up quicker
then weeks 6-8 she slowed sharply, then stopped - of course i've got week 8 left - don't think she'll go up any more
