First time lower budget cfl grow

  1. My local home Depot has fox farm Tiger Bloom. You can check your local store's inventory online. I've also seen it at Ag stores... like farm and fleet and tractor supply. Lowe's, Menards as well. But I highly recommend fox farm. You could buy their Grow Big if you want but it's geared towards vegging.


    You for flowering you want sort of med-low N, a high phosphorus, and middle potassium.
     
  2. The home depot's in my area exclusively sell miracle grow. Find a local hydro store, you'll be happier in the end.

  10. give it a day or two. Male plants don't mature any faster than female plants. You'll be able to tell 100% if its really a male long before you have to worry about it pollinating the rest of your crop.

  11. Whats up everyone... so its
    Day 23 of Flower, everything is looking beautiful... now i know why many people enjoy it. So the other day i went to home depot(hydro shop is closed on sunday) hoping they had some Cal-mag of course they didnt, but i got some different nutes... they are stronger and says "with calcium" so hopefully it helps... they are starting to bud nicely :).. also got a couple splitters and a pack of 23watt 3500k cfls... so i got 5 23watt cfls and one 200watt cfl... total 315watts... did a good bit of defoliation today... also was checkin out the possible hermie, seen those balls still there and some hairs growing behind them not coming from them... as soon as i touched one it fell off... idk if thats good or bad?.. once again thanks everyone for advice and for subbing!!!

  14. Hey what's up everyone... sorry I haven't updated in a while... been dealing with some social life lol... so it is about day 32 of flowering... everything is looking really good... it seems like the 3 that came from mid grade bag seed is growing slower... Idk maybe they just don't look as good as the GG bag seed lol... anyway, I added more nutes about 3-4 days ago... also added some food grade DE mainly to prevent bugs... humidity is staying around 40-45% and Temps staying around 75... also I'm starting to notice a sweet minty smell around the area lol... I have a feeling it's gunna start stinking lol... so far the deficiency problem hasn't gotten any worse... one of the smaller plants has a bigger fan leaf on the bottom that's is crinkling and dying... Idk I'm not too worried about the smaller ones lol... anyway here are some more pics :)

  15. Hey what's up.. here's a few more pics... not really an update... but just wondering... so you guys think they are developing slow?... it's been 37 days since I flipped to 12/12... the main plant the GG is looking good but doesn't seem to me to have got any bigger in the past 4-5 days... and the other 3 doesn't have any trichomes really... so Idk if its Cuz they are mid grade bag seed or what... Idk what do you guys think?

  16. looking pretty good I see some red hairs coming in, that means the plants are almost done. I wouldn't expect them to grow to much more in size, IF it were me I'd slowly start trimming off a couple bottom leaves a day to help the trichs fill up a little more. and thats the thing about bag seeds.....sometimes you get garbage,smokable but not a great thc production,unless you get lucky and get some bomb genetics. I wouldn't fertilize anymore either just straight water, but that's just my opinion....
