I'm in my third week of veg and have successfully loss 5/9 of the babies I have started. A couple to being male and two to maybe overwatering. I have a couple of questions I'm hoping for help with. 1. I put my plants under a 600w hps at two weeks old, did I push it? My heat and humidity were on point but still had some problems. Could it have been too much light? 2. Should I start feeding? I haven't fed them anything yet and was thinking about doing a light feeding on my next watering? Good or bad idea? They are growing in half coco coir and half Fox Farm Happy Frog 3. Last and final question....for now How are my plants looking as of right now, what can you see about them that could be better? The only thing I have to go on is pictures and info I've read online. I'm a better hands on learner but unfortunately have no other resources but you guys. Thankfully you've all been great. Thank you for any responses I may get
What were the problems you had? I put my plants under my 1k watt when I start them I just raise it up. I doubt they got to much light
My plants were really droopy and curled up. I don't think that thy got burned up but more than likely over watered. I watered them every 4 days but never really let them dry all the way out. I had thought being under a 600 that they would dry out faster but my room has stayed a little cold. It's stayed around 72 and at times dropped to 65.
They look good, maybe over watered but every 4 days sounds about right so maybe it's just the picture. How did you find males if they are not flowering? Are you sure those were seed pods? My grow journal http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1323166-another-noob-his-first-grow.html
I think they look pretty good. I am questioning your knowledge about the gender this early, but maybe you invented some new Strategie?
The ones that were Males were a couple of weeks older. They were bag seeds I had started while I waited on my mail order.
They were a couple of weeks older. Had what looked to me like micro pollen sacks starting to form. Wish I would have taken a picture. Maybe I'm way wrong and threw a couple of my best looking plants out. That would be a bummer.
