I am in the middle of week 3 and the plants are growing slowly. the shoots are not growing out. help.
do yourself the favor and feel the dry weight of your pots so you always know when to water it. and this ^ it's not bad at all for week 3, some strains take longer than others.
Oh no, sorry. I sprouted them in 6 oz. cups and then transplanted into these 2 gallon pots. 3.5 weeks in the 2 gallon pots. more like 4- 4.5 weeks total since it came out of dirt.. I live in THE desert, if that's anything. 112* and about 3% humidity outside. Should i let them dry completely before next water? are these savable? Thanks for posting. i can use all the tips i can get.
Everybody preaches differently, sometimes I'll let them get completely dry and sometimes I'll let them be a bit moist. Just around the dry weight is when I water, give or take. And haha of course they're good bro, nothing to have to worry about saving, they look healthy. Just starting out slow Never throw out a plant unless you need to, it's still looking green right? Then you're good
yup. i have a lady right now taking forever to flower, expecting 10-12 weeks. I'm on day 81 and expecting another month to month and a half till harvest. They're looking nice and bushy too, you won't regret going with HPS and MH though Good luck! post updates every once in a while
one last question. knowing that i need to allow a bit of extra veg time, should the side branches begin to grow out like they should so that i may train them or is it a wait and see and go with what it gives me?
not sure if you've found an answer yet but, i was experiencing very weak growth on one of mine. New leaves were small and spindly and just not setting out like a cannabis leaf should...i checked my NPK and pH, only thing off was the Phosphorus was non-existant and the pH was a little low, i know its not the most necessary nutrient during veg but all signs and days of worry/research pointed to Phos, i added .5-1 tsp of my biothrive bloom to 2 liters (.5gal) of water and watered regularly with solution and back to vibrant life she came
Nice i hope it helps, i forgot also to say that another symptom i was experiencing with the phos deficiency was the leaves were staying V'd and not flattening out...anyways, good luck with the grow!
