feeding them
Schultz Expert gardener Bloom Plus now
its a 5-30-5 nutes.
1/2 strength every 5-6 days. I water with a 5 % solution everytime i water.
I was using 15/15/15 mg. for a little bit. Before i switched over to flowering.
But i am thinking i should give a little more N beacause the plants are rather small. And will need it for new leaves and such. Not to mention, the small pots they are in. They should be transplanted but i am flowering now so i rather just have them deal with it.
You are right about the size of the pot, its not helping the plants. The bigger the pot the better. It might be worth transplanting the female which has not hermied/or both into 2gal pots.
Next time round start them in 1gal pots and, before you flower, transplant them into 2-3gal pots. And more light again:D
Overall i think they have ample light for now considering there are only 2 plants. I have more than doubled the light i had before in veg state. And already today right when the lights kicked on i upped it. Today there has been record growth so far :-) at least with these plants each plant is getting about 10,000 lumens or so. I know if i want really high yields i should go to a hps, but right now thats just not an option. I have a 400 watt hps, i tried that at first, but my temps went well over 90 degrees in my little closet.
I think next time around i am going to start them in one of those flower boxs, which is about 3-4 gallons of soil, yet not sitting so high. Because i really don't have to much head room to work with at the momment.
yep thats lookin a lil brighter.
Dive:stoned:
yea transplant! how big is your grow space? u might want to block in the light to optimise plant growth. :)
oh the light is being blocked in. I have a rather genious cardboard box sculped to fit in there perfect. No light leaks that i can see. Everything else is white, except for the floor which is brown. oh the cardboard box is white in color as well, as some writing on it..
my grow space is about 5 long, 3 1/2ft-4ft tall, and 2 feet deep.
I guess i will look for something to transplant the female into. as for the possible hermie, i will just wait and see if it develops into a full hermie or if it was just a fluke.
I need a taller grow space. I may just have to lower the shelf by reinstalling it lower.
Ebsters - when you are talking about cfl's and flouro's, always refer to the real watts, not the equivelant ones. That's pretty much what everyone does to avoid confusion.
If you have a 400 watt hps - have you looked at the DIYs on this forum for cool tubes? You could build a cool tube real inexpensively. I have 400's in cool tubes and they are cooler than a cfl.
Good luck!!!
PC:smokin:
on the cfl's the real wattage is listed before
i have 30 watt bulbs, which are supose to be equal to 120 watt bulbs. But my main lighting is coming from the t-8's and t12's
Ok, i made a grow log, with alot of updates in lighting.
now under a 150hps, and soon another 85 watt CFL (actual wattage)
we will see how it hoes.
