First grow, looking for opinions

Discussion in 'First Time Marijuana Growers' started by TheGuapCrop, May 11, 2020.

  1. I have 2 bag seed birthday cake and 1 fem
    Desert snow. Grown in ffof soil and trio nutrient line, All have been growing well expect slight drooping. Just start using lst and topped the 2 oldest now that they have their first full leaf set but since then they have been growing ridiculously slow. Opinions, tips, tricks, etc?

  3. usually they all start slow. anything you do to stress the plant out will slow growth. I usually don't top until 5 to 8 nodes. also I probably wouldn't be feeding so soon especially in ff you may want to check run off ppm before you start showing signs of nute burn. I usually start feeding around week 5 lightly 3 to 400 ppm rotating fresh water and feed around a quarter of the suggested dose. the leaf tip droop could be signs of early nute problems or from just watering. I personally like pics to be of a dry plant before water or at least 3 to 4 hours after watering as plants droop right after watering then perk back up
     
  4. Largest are 2 weeks old now that I did a more in depth read of when I topped, I didn’t actually top but more of a pinch, the new growth in the center after the first full set I just popped off and now have two new shoots forming but I probably stunted them because of doing it so early, sorry for the pain I’m causing experienced growers lol. And I’m feeding twice a week using big bloom and grow big, 2 tsp per gallon of grow big and 6 tsp per gallon of big bloom mixed in ph’d water around 6.5 to 6.8 Alternating with reg ph’d water. I’m just now getting the whole wet/dry cycle down, as a noobie I didn’t really know exactly how and when to water them but now that I’ve gotten better at that they’ve seemed to perk back up more.
     
  5. Also haven’t been feeding the whole amounts I usually dilute it with a nute/reg watering I wasn’t aware ffof was hot at the time, tried getting the happy frog cause it’s not as hot but couldn’t find it anywhere.
