the plants in the black pots are 4 weeks old for the first 2 weeks i had them in mybedroom under 2 fishtank lights and for the next 2 weeks thay were in a growtent under a 250 watt hid light thay have changed a lot under the hid light but looking around at other growers plants i think im doing sumthing wrong any hep would be great it is cheese plants

Time spent under a fishtank light may have stressed them a bit but they look nice and green right now. They will start growing fast soon. Is your HID light an hps or a mh? And remember they will need to be fertilized soon.

EDIT: I noticed drops of water on the leaves of one plant, you dont want that because the light will be magnified by the drop of water and burn the leaf.

Actually by looking at how many sets of leaves you have I wouldn't touch any nutes (imo)on those seedlings for a bit. About four nodes or more is usually a safe bet to even begin thinking about it depending on your exp with that strain. If you used good soil to start with then they should be good without adding it till they are actually ready. Did you transplant them into those square pots or start them in those? Your plants could just be working on the roots if that was their first pot, because of the amount of room they had to grow in. top growth is all dependent to root mass. Four week old plants are usually much bigger, those look like a week to maybe two weeks old. In any case I can see that they are alive and kicking so they will start to kick it into high gear with that 250w your using now.. Soon you will start the Am I going to have room for these monsters? Happy gardening!

What kind of water? I use distilled water and then add calmag to it, then test it and thats about it. all water is different.

Hi n3wbiegrower,

you should add some reflective material black plastic is no good .add a emergency blanket or some mylar they will give you some extra lumens from the 250 w mh . you want those lost LUMENS!

i tend to ignore the rules about nutes i soak my soil for 24 hours in a weak nute solution before planting seeds then if you can, try to start them under the hps or mh on an 18 hour cycle and try and get some heating cable strapped to a metal plate (so you dont melt your tent lol) to keep the temp up at night i have had many succesful and bountiful crops from this method in the five years i have been growing if its your first grow i would google jorge cervantes and take a look at his site you will learn a lot from him as i have i would try to kickstart them back into growth by using a very weak nute solution evry 3rd watering

if you go to your local growshop ask them for black and white this is what i use its about £1.60 per sq metre its highly reflective remeber tho only have dull black covering on the floor as light is bad for the undersides of the leaves especially them being so young

ill go check out the black and white tomorow.im feeding them iguana grow juice i give them 3.5mls with every litre of bottled water. i water them every 3 days the 6 plants take the litre bottle.just relised made a mistake have been puting the 3.5mls into a 2 litre bottle not 1 litre so plants only getting half of reckamded feeds.from what i read around better lease feed than over feed lest i can give them more.thanks for the reply probley wouldnt have suzzed it.p.s is there any other things i have to feed them and does that feed there on sound right and taking 2 litre every feed not 1 litre

i like rhizotonic its a great root stimulator but dont give them nutes with every water either this can cause toxic salt buildup id say just water them 2 times and the third watering use nutes as this flushes any unused nute outta there also if you are giving 2 litres of water a time just wait for the top of the soil to feel dry to the touch about 2 inches down then water them i dont give them a set watering shedule the only thing set tha i use is the nute schedule water twice then use nute 3rd watering
rhizotonic and superthrive for vegging i use and bud blood the first week of flowering then after 3 weeks flowering i use cha ching for 3 weeks the use nothing for the last 2 weeks so ur bud tastes fresh an dont crackle tehse are expensive nutes but remeber you have to spend to make.............
good luck
