First time growing I really need some advice. I have her on a 24/0 light cycle so far 13 days into grow, on sunny days placed outside last water I gave 1 teaspoon of Biothrive grow 4-3-3 in a gallon of water it recommended 2, I plan on watering without nutes next time to clean Roots Smokeone
Try 20/4 on the light schedule roots grow in the dark hillbillys medical adventure https://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?threads/1449778/
Never said they didn't just personally had better luck with 20/4 hillbillys medical adventure https://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?threads/1449778/
Now that is what folks normally run autos on right (20/4)? I only ask because i have some up next and never grown 'em.
Yea on either 20/4 or 18/6 seems to be the sweet spot for autos hillbillys medical adventure https://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?threads/1449778/
Thanks for the info I will try 20/4 and see how it goes. I added another bulb as well the led say 5000k cfls 1600k
Looks like its stretching on ya... when they do that, it means they are not getting enough light. they are trying to get closer to it.
I don't know bro but it evidently ain't enuff... maybe the extra bulb will help. or... i don't know a lot about light spectrums but could be the problem... it must be light that is in the proper color specturm that is conducive to plant growth. 6500k for veg 2700k for flower.
What's your definition of damn near touching? I keep my cfl around half an inch away of not closer lol. Sorry just saw pic... that one led bulb is practically useless to that plant as it's shining the other way... you need to try to set your lighting up way better it's just not set up efficiently.
I use one of these for veg. VIVOSUN 250w Watt CFL Compact Fluorescent Lamp Grow Light Bulb 2700K/ 6500K | eBay
What kind of soil are your plants growing in that appears to be a lot of wood chips? Wood chips do things - they drive acidity up and they drain available Nitrogen from the surrounding soil - both of which appears to be going on with your plant. I don't see it getting better in that "soil". J
B. S miracle grow o used it I as emergency as it was stretching and working 13 hrs days does not help me
They are self-ballasted and i guess work in any standard fixture/socket with the rated wattage. I bought one with a winged reflector/socket fixture which i can no longer find to show people... seems like sears had one when i asked google. I just don't know much about lights other than what is needed wattage/spectrum wise.
