First Time grow!

I cant wait to see how they turn out i think i got lucky with how i put the nutes on them lol and it doesnt say how to put them on your plant so like an idiot i put them directly on the soil and they still lived im glad there tough! Are you supposed to mix them in some water first lol? I hate being this new to something but im learning thx to you guys on here lol!

ok im def a newb lol i just added the nutes directly to the soil and then added a little water to flush them down to the roots now i read that your supposed to add those a gallon of water and give it a shke but that seems like to much water to give my three little girls in the solo cups if anybody can clear this up it would be great lol!!

well so far the girls seem ok fingers crossed they make it thrue the night after my bonehead move lol!

There ya go bro lol since you dont have as many plants like id say u water maybe half a gal? or quart of water? just cut those numbers in half. Like ok the measurements on that chart is per gallon. ok so if you cut the water in half cut the nutes in half. So if you give your ladies a half gallon of water instead of 5 ml of biogrow only 2.5. If you use only a quart cut it in half again. Basically know your fractions and reductions lol this is why u should pay attention in math hah who would have thought.

Any ways to sum it up those measurements are to be mixed with a gallon of water. So if you only use half gallon cut those nutes in half and so on. Also my first mistake was i premixed my plants nutes in an excited fucking gardening frenzy! Apparently you are supposed to use directly after mixing. Hell ive even used half a gallon waited and hour and feed the rest. That worked too. I do not recommend storing these over 12 hours but if you do keep the lid off(let it get oxygen basically) otherwise it will cause nutrient lock out and you will be wasting money, effort and time. Then you gotta flush and start over. Thankfully i found out you werent supposed to premix before i gave it to em so i jsut tossed it fearing id lock stuff out. I put it in my outside garden and i actually saved some things so i guess it wasnt a bad waste..

Thx man I felt really dumb when i did that lol! First time grow you def get grow fever and get excited im just glad that my haste didnt kill the girls lol!! Im gonna take some pics of the ladies and post them today so you guys can tell me if they really are doing good lol!

well here is a pic of my three ladies! The furthest one from the camera is the smallest and the second pic is the one that's doing the best and for the life of me i don't know why that pic loaded upside down lol! So far I think i have over watered them put my nutes directly on them and have messed with them way to much! so thank god there tough girls! Next week will be different! How much should i be watering these little ladies in there cups and when should they go to big pots!! I have done everything wrong with them up until this point lol! any advice or help will be greatly appreciated!

right now just keep the soil most. like it doesnt have to be soaked or wet just moist. use your finger, toothpick or whatever and stick down in the soil towards the rim of cup and examine soil. if its dry water. if not leave it. should be recieving APPROXIMATELY 1 to 1 1/2 solo cups of water give or take a little. use your own judgement. They look good so far. You keep yourself alive lol i have faith in your judgement!

Why are you adding nutes so erly? Your soil should have what they need. With good soil you shouldn't need nutes for around 40 days.

LOL thx warlock i added them like an idiot cause i read on the package to add them week one not only did i add them wrong i read a little and found out most soils are good already for a bit lol being a newb sux but im learning! Im useing the b cuzz soil it seems good and thank god i haven't killed the girls yet with all my screw ups! Its just hard because the more you read the more you hear conflicting information! Thats why i like when vets chime in and i can learn from you guys! Im a blank page so any info from real life exp is def welcome!! So thx to you guys i wont be a newb for long and i really do welcome the info and appreciate it! And as always thx a lot l8lDANKl8l for the help someday i hope i can return the favor! also warlock thats a killer avatar!!!!

no problem buddy. what goes around comes around! everybody has SOMETHING to bring to the table. yea it says go start with seedlings with go. i started feeding when they were about 12 days old and around 4" i think? i fed them for the first time on july 2nd. the on july 7th i mixed up another half gal fed the ladies and watched them. they took it very well with greath growth so i started feeding a FULL feeding every 5 days. Idk about your strain. Mine took very well to it! maybe a little TOO well..ill get some pics over here to update you on my ladies(they got bleached; sprang up a few inches over night the growth rate is almost too much..). i mean a 400w can only do so much to 8 plants but with these nutes im on...wow

No problem. No nutes. Leave them in the solo cups for 2 weeks. Move to 1 gallon pots. Use good soil. Water after transplant. Keep them there for 3-4 weeks. Then move to 3 or 5 gallon pots. After 3-4 weeks you will need nutes. But it's also better to move them to your finishing pot 1week before you start 12/12.

And the best info you can bring is what not to do. There is lot of ways to grow but more ways not to.

well I have two girls kicking butt and my third girl looks like shes tried but shes gonna croak! there 5 days in and i have a big bang from green house seeds and a 60 day auto lemon from dna genetics and there doing great! My other big bang girl never seemed to get the root stalk like the other two and she hasnt grown at all like the others and i dont think shes gonna make it thrue the night my other two are sucking up water like crazy! I soaked them yesterday and the top of the soil is already dry its still kinda moist under the top layer so im gonna hold watering until later tonight or should i leave them till tommorow i have no clue but at least i got two going! Im wondering if it makes any sense to start a new seed since im only a week in and i have a World of Seeds Feminised Legend Collection Afghan Kush Special seed kicking around and if she dies i will have space or should i just concentrate on the two i have going and go from there! lol decisions !! im leaning on saving the kush to grow with my other two big bangs on my next go! but any advice as always is welcome!

Learn with what you have. Your next grow will be better.

yea i mean im not disagreeing on the soil thing. It should be good for awhile your right. but u can start earlier with the GO box. I did and my plants loved it. Compared to other peoples grow around my area with same soil diff nutes mine ladies were double theirs. I mean if u can give them nutes why not? the earlier the better(roots will develope quicker etc). I would say around the 2-3 week period you should start the nutes. !BUT! and i cannot emphasize this anymore, it all depends on how big the plant is. THe bigger its is the more it eats obviously. So time doesnt matter so much as size. Jus like humans. But yea dont get me wrong im not saying your wrong on holding off on the nutes, just saying it depends on the size and roots more than a time frame as different strains grow differently.

Thx guys for all the help im gonna stick with my little ladies i have and so far they seem to like me even after all my screw ups! My ballast has a feature that lets me boost my light from 600 to 660 so i can increase the light strength now and then to simulate different days of light strength but im gonna keep them constantly at 600 mostly. here is a pic i took today and so far so good i guess there only roughly six days old right from seed!

Your boost should be used in mid flower. Not realy in veg. 600 is good for 3 foot plants. 660 will help get more out of the popcorn buds. But also shorten the life of the bulb.

Thx warlock I was wondering when the boost should be used and I figured when they were flowering would be the best time ! I was thinking the last week of flowering or would I be able to use the boost all thrue flower! Also my misses has me stressing that one of my girls leaves look shriveled I will post a pic and let yo guys decide I think I'm good but I'm a mean lol! Thx again for the info warlock!!!!

Also warlock if my plants get bigger than 3 foot does that mean I should get a bigger light! Just kinda confused so I asked lol!

man you should be good with that for only 3 ladies at a time look at this lol
i went with numbers due to them being bag seeds(just in case half were male or herms). i should say good bag seed like lemon kush etc so
but anyways i didnt expect them to shoot like this. Ive been training all the fan leaves downward allowing light down. Also put in an extra fluro in one corner. Got another 24" im gonna throw in that one was only 12" But my light is 400w.

Those things are oozing out. Idk what to do anymore lol...light only has 12" more inches from the top. And bleaching is a problem as seen in the pic. These things are growing very vigorously. Almost thought about just putting one outside..
