New member and grower...

This is my first year growing and would appreciate all the help I recieve. I'm currently growing only one plant at the time and testing my luck. The seed I used is just random from some shit I purchased, I planted in the beginning of summer and the first month was very little growth. I know little about growing and would like to know if there is anything I could do to help the plant. Also, I am growing outside in Northern Michigan.

I started watering very little every day, I havn't added any ferts., and it's growing outdoors.

I just went to the link above and learned many new things about neutrients needed. I just finished applying miracid and hopefully it will clear things up. Also, is miracid alright to use for the mean time? Thanks for the help.

watering a little at a time is not good for your root's groth thay well try to grow up an not down this is not go for them let it dry out a bet not to much then give it a good watering as needed...

I filled the pot full of topsoil and since I added the fert. the plant looks to be doing in a little worse conditon. Any ideas??

[hempopotamus]

fresh water just fresh water... you mite of gave it to much fert. it's hard to tell?

I gotten tired of the outdoors and decided to move indoors to a closet. I hooked up two dual fluorescent lights above and have them on 24/7. Since moving it indoors, I have noticed it looking a little healthier but currently it's only growing about 1 set of leaves every other day or so... is this something to be concerned about or is this normal growth? Thanks for the help.

Hi i too am a first time grower and just a thought can over spill (too much) water leave the pots ie are there any holes in the bottom as my plants also started a bit slow and noticed leaves drooped at night time or too much water once i put a hole on the bottom side they did alot better as the water that the compost couldnt soak up it just left out of the pot.I used to water them twice a day and then was told to water once a day i did at night time b4 i went to bed hope this helps ? I had 4 plants but just killed one as it was male but 2 look def female. also look at web addy u been given in other reply as its well worth a good read laterz and all da best DEXY

I water it every other day and have been adding ferts everyother day also, could this be to much for the plant? Can you look at the pics and ID the strain or would that be impossible?? All help is appreciated.

def back off with the furts. you should give it to them 1 time every 1 or 2 weeks. u should water the plant when the soil is dry dont have a watering schedule cause u can over water them. the way i do it is i wait till the top inch of soil is dry than i water. the plant looks to be sativa dominent

Alright I will use your advise with the ferts and watering. My soil may be a problem possibly... the soil feels really compressed and is hard so you cannot penetrate with your finger. I used some potting soil made by Miracle-Grow by the way.

I cant get close enough to tell but it appears that you have mold growing on your soil. Can anyone else tell?
