I am Hawaii citizen and have a permit for medical marijuana cultivation . I am a newbie at this but have alot of colleags who have a few tricks to share . I grow on my balcony facing west and I am on the west side of the island wich gives the plants about 9 hours of direct sunlight from the powerful Hawaii sun next to the equator . at night I put them under four, twenty watt bulbs which seem to be working well in the mylar grow shelf I made . I have been using discreet amounts of grow big fertalizer on the newly vegging plants. they are a little close to a over a week old . I water them once in the morning and once at night .
thanks man ! these guys popped on 1-28-11 and now its 2-3-11 and looking healthy from what I know of ?
If you look at the fox farm schedule you're suppose to feed it big bloom pretty much it's whole life. You start feeding it big bloom before grow big ;D http://www.foxfarmfertilizer.com/FoxFarm-Soil-Schedule.pdf
thank you .. I will now give it big bloom . how many times per week or moth should I feed it big bloom ? and how many times should i use grow big a week or in a month ? or when should i start putting more grow big ? sorry im a newbe just trying to get it right .
Since you're still in the vegging stage you should use more GrowBIG than BIGBloom. The plant requires more Nitrogen during the veg stage, and more P while in flowering. You can still use the bigbloom during veg stage but id prolly say only like 1 feeding of it every 3-4 wks? Your plants look good tho!
thanks for the tip i started them with grow big last week and just put one dose of big bloom last night . i wont feed them any more big bloom for a few weeks . thanks for the tip and thanks for the compliment on the babies ! ALOHA
your gonna need some LARGE pots. i hope u can fit them through ur sliding door once they are grown. gonna be TREES!
I most deffinetly have bigger pots . I got 7 gallon buckets im going to use on each one . haha treeez ?!?! i hope so knowing im allowed only 3 mature plants growing
if your watering them 2 times a day i would say thats too much the top soil should be dry when you water
ok i will start watering once a day , i will thirst them in the grow box for the night . that should dry the soil up good for the next days watering
even daily could be too much. i would check the soil then when it needs it water it. some people say they let it dry til the first signs of wilting then they water
