  1. I use 2 tbs of the flora gro to 1 gallon of water. The kelp, which takes the place of the micro, I use about 1 tbs to the gallon

  2. Looking good. I recently harvested a stealth cfl grow using bag seed. Your plants look a bit stretched so you might want to move the bulbs closer. I grew in winter and im thinking thats the best time to grow due to heat issues. I used a couple of uhaul garment boxes and they worked out nicely. Good luck with your grow.

  5. Any reason why there isn't any leaves any where except the very top?.. lighting?.. and the stem looks weak.. I think it's just not a very good seed to start with..

  6. Im sure its the lighting, as your plants will stretch to reach the light. For cfl bulbs keep them 2-6 inches away from your plants. The reason for this is because of useable light spectrum is within these distances. Your plant doesn't look bad, its just stretched out. I'd do some LST on it to keep it at bay.

  7. Cool beans.. ill move them around.. the lights.. I.have the one propped up.. because it's growing along the bottom of the pot.. I know it needs a fan on the root system or leaves.. that's why.. stem pics on both

  11. You can water them anyway you want, just dont go watering them 2 times a day.. water when you stick your finger in the soil and it feels dry.

  16. Lol poor plant, well look here, this may brighten your day. I had four plant growing in my DWC and I lost all but one plant to root rot, so until I get some aquashield... oh well. I still have my outdoor ladies that are almost ready for harvest, and I have my lone survivor in soil inside. I'll take updated pics later

    I had one plant that did what yours is doing, and it was because it had a hard time geting light so it was stretching all sorts of ways what I would do to yours is get a paperclip, open it up and bend it so it looks like an "n". Then put it over your plant, on the upper most part of the stem. This is called low stress training. That way your plant isn't " heavy" and will start to bush outSent from my GT-P3113 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
