1st time grower , cut some slack 1 seed grow as my test trial Germinated 1 cali seed in 3 days now it is planted 1/4 an inch deep in organic gardening soil Using small amount of 4-4-4 organic fertilizer Using 2 23W CFL's for now at 5000K each -and have another 60W hydroponic full spectrum CFL Grow light at 5500K. INPUT!
Any pointers? Lights? Nutrients? I'll continue to show my progress but id like to know how I can get the BEST results in my situation. THANKS! Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
when using CFL think big... cfls can do for cloning and early growth... After that the effectiveness tapers off quickly. cabinet/closet grow i have heard 450w to be a rough start for veg.. maybe more, maybe less..
I'm a first time grower as well. I have a WW auto on its 7th week and fr what I researched Light is just as important as water. So make sure your girl has plenty of if. As far as nutes go, use 1/2 strength. I have fox farm products and I used prescribed dosages and ended up burning my plant. (gotta learn by doing) And spend time with ur plant. It's a living thing Nah I don't do drugs. I smoke weed.
I plan on eventually getting a HPS HID when the veg starts. What would you recommend on those for 1 plant & my size closet? Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Ok, I will stop using. I used a small amount, do you think it will affect the growth process? Hope I don't have to start germination all over!!! Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Good to hear from a fellow first timer! I definitely am spending time with it! Smoking with it occasionally. I'm just worried Thant organic mutes are gunna kill the seedling. I'm slouch a noob! Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
No, keep it where it is. Just feed regular water from now on. With organic soil, you already have ferts in the soil. So dont use nute feeds unless the plant calls for it.

I am always in Houston and Dallas areas but I am growing near Dallas Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Two questions. How moist should I keep the soil? and how often should I be watering in the first couple of weeks after germination? Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
