Am I a retard? Yes!

Hehe I never thought about giving nutes to my babies. Why? Dunno. But today I went and got Schultz Water Soluble Orchid Food. 19/31/17.

Total Nitrogen.................................19%
Available Phosphate..........................31%
Soluable Potash...............................17%
Boron............................................. 0.02%
Copper...........................................0 .05%
Iron.............................................. .0.1%
Manganese.....................................0.05 %
Molybdenum...................................0.000 5%
Zinc.............................................. 0.05%

Would me starting to use this make them grow at a more noticeable rate? I think this is why my plants have been growing slower than others. Thanks.

EDIT: And yes I am using it as the label says.

It will make them more healthy so they can grow faster. If they dont get nutes they have deficiencies which locks up everything

and yes, you are a retard

Retard,

Nothing wrong with nutes...

As long as they are needed.

What kinda dirt you growing in????

Scotts Potting Mix with Added Phosphate for root growth.

Hmmm.....

I found this on the web link you gave

"Backed by Scotts No-Quibble Guarantee of complete satisfaction"

I'd call em up and give 'em hell. :) :) :)

Update the pics will ya and also what kinda lights are you using again???

You shouldnt need to use those strong nutes yet...what are you about day 30??

lemme know

i like to use higher nitrogen lvl for my plants all the way during vegetation, they get much greener and bigger folliage, and if the potash is higher as well they will grow big ass roots, i like to keep the phosphate low... UNTIL flowering then i take a high phosphate fertilizer with low in nitrogen and low in potash...

Day 29 now.
Theyre 2700K 42W (150W output) 2600 lumen CFL's.

The one on the right has AWESOME secondary growth while the other one is doing the same just not anywhere near as fast. The one on the right is working on its secondary nodes for the shoots.

***********(IN MY POINT OF VIEW)

They seem a little droppy, maybe you are watering them too much...

No I already had that problem I can now tell when their pot is dry or not. Thanks.

Bro,

Those are some very healthy, very very ripe plants. THey are just growing slow, because, sorry man but its your lights.

Why are you running 2700K?

Get some 5500K or 6400K and see what happens.

The plants arent stretching because the lights are good and close like they should be...but you are essentially wanting more growth with a 42W bulb at 2700K.

At least, DOUBLE, the light you have.

Those 2700K just wont cut it if you want speed growth.

Be lucky however, because if those plants did take off, those lights wouldnt be able to hang.

Remember as your plant grows, so does the light demand.

Just saying,

...be very happy with what you have done. Nice healthy plants, short stems, good secondary growth...

and you have done it with 2 42W lights.......

that is something!!!!

But if you want them to bust out, you;re gonna have to give them a reason to reach...

You need to address the light issue.

THERE IS NOTHING "WRONG" with those plants of yours. In fact, quite the opposite is true.

Deal with the light issue....trust me thats all it is...

really good job.
