Royal Dwarf PC Grow / Chinese LEDs

Hello,

I've read through this thread and I would like to throw in my bit of info.

That plant looks really hungry.
Superthrive is not fertilizer.

Hope the grow goes well.
Good luck friend!

My 2 cents.

I'd repot into something much bigger. Pull her away from the lights a little, try and find that sweet spot between not burning and not stretching (never used LEDs so no idea how close/far away). Then I'd stick to just watering her with plain ol' H2O. No nutes, no buggering around with ph levels. I'd let nature do what it does best. As for watering I'd wait until she was bone dry (sticking a finger deep in the soil, if it comes out dry, then and only then is it time to water) then I'd drench the shit outa her. Then wait til she's dry again.

I think we've all been guilty of having panic attacks at this early stage of a grow. But have faith, giver her space and time, and don't tinker too much.

May I add... I am NO kinda expert.

Guys thank you for your advice!! I'm really sticking with plain water for now.. She seems alive again after moving her a couple inches away from LED's, so it seems this was important and I didn't have a clue this was happening! Thanks again..

mewk, I repoted her into her final pot, and she had her roots out of the pea pot already!! I figured out the hard way though, thought that she wouldn't have by now, so I just pulled her out to remove the pot. As it seems, I may have stunned her roots a little bit, one was way too deep, but it's ok, I think she'll handle it!
Thanks again for the advice! Cheers!

She bounced back, some days ago! So, these are my lights for now, 4x9w leds and 1x11w cfl found around the house! She's a little droopy cos I overwatered for the first time today, but it's ok I think..
Think I'm gonna turn this post to a journal.. :P

Looking good man. How you like those LEDs so far? Internet order?
Thanks man! They're quite good, eBay purchase! I had her like 4-5 inches away from 'em and she thought the light was too intense!
What i'm worried about is that I'm gonna switch my lights to another type of leds for flowering, which I don't know how efficient will be.. But I guess, if I don't try I won't ever find out! eBay too, chinese ones!

Yeah i've been looking at the same bulbs on ebay as well but still undecided. Those ones that you do have for veg, do they get very hot?
Well, these white ones just heat up a little on th upper side and raise my temperature a lil bit!! But that's it!

I'm currently growing a Royal Dwarf as well. Have a look if you want: https://www.rollitup.org/led-other-lighting/725336-jmds-2-indoor-grow-hydroponic.html
You're looking really great!! +Rep for you! The thing with me is, I'll have to harvest around 20 to 24 Dec. by all means!! So, I don't know if I'll harvest anything at all.. :sad:

Dude, don't give up... you're only a few pages in... Takes a while for everyone to latch on.
Keep things updated and yeah, post for your own pleasure primarily. I use my threads as more of a personal blog to compare against for my next grow. Just enjoy updating things, the subs will come rollin' in.

I'm enjoyin the ride, anyhows! :)
