Some dudes closet grow

from what ive read, superthrive can be added at seedling at up, maybe im wrong i dont know.

and i do have the daylight lights now.

thanks for the tips

Update.

Ive repotted the plant with a new 6 inch pot, and it seems to be doing okay, hasnt fallen over, and the stick has been removed.
I also started germing some new seeds in a shot glass and am waiting for them to pop, im going to plant (hopefully) 3 more for a total of 4 to up my odds of a female. i dont really want to grow 4 because i definatly dont have the room, 1 at the most 2, but seeing this is my first grow, i will probably stick with just one and try and make the best out of it.

When i went to the store the other day to see if they had some small planters pots i remembered reading something about miracle gro and that its not really the best for weed. so seeing that its unopened and i still have the receipt somewhere, i may take it back, the only other thing they have at lowes thats organic would be alaska fish emulsion fert and i have no idea about that, its 5-1-1 and im not sure if thats enough to get the job done, or if its even that good? if anyone has any good or bad comments aobut it please tell me.

so after this next check ill be picking up some different fert, and possibly another set of lights, and a power strip, because when the lights go out, the fan stays on, and i dont think it really needs to be does it? and maybe some vermiculite or something else to add to the soil for when the big pot comes around/ new seedlings.

any other hints?

thanks for looking

PS: today would be 2 weeks since seedling broke surface

Id like to hear from anyone with experience, would this setup work ? would it get a decent yield ? what can i do to improve?
should i drop the soil i have and try and mix my own? feeling a little lost

Whats up. Okay the first thing I would do is get the plants closer to the lights. The closer the better at least 6 inchs when using cfls. The alaskan fish emulsion is good to use for a first timer I used the first time and I still use it. If you are looking for a good soil try fox farms ocean forest to me its the soil out there some will say its not but for first timers i say use it. For ferts I would go with fox farms grow big,big bloom,and tiger bloom oh and you can get there bloom boosters to open sesame.beastie bloom,and cha ching before i was in my car wreck I was using there ferts in my soil garden and they rock. :rasta::rastasmoke::pimp:

see heres the problem, i would buy foxfarm stuff, but im no where near anyplace that sells it, the nearest place is over 50 miles. and thats pretty steep for somone without their own car.

so i dunno, unless i can get somone to ship it or something. im kind of pickled

yeah I put my lights about 2 inches the first week then 4 inches later on. So you really dont want that to stretch anymore cause when the stem starts to harden a stiff breeze could snap it.

the first one I did was stretched like that and I had to stake it up for about 2 weeks untill I wass sure it wouldn't fall over and I buried it aout 1/2 in from the first set of leaves cause I was still scared it would end up falling over.

But good luck with it...hope it turns out alright.

^^ I was just about to say, bury them stem a little, its stretching too far.

So i had a chance to stop by a hydro store the other day, i was traveling to an animal shelter to adopt a dog and coincidentally it was near a hydro store, so i picked up some ocean forest foxfarm soil, along with tiger bloom and grow big, i dont know if big bloom is in fact needed or not, but they didnt have it in so if someone has a recomendation for it, i may have to try and fit another trip in.

I added some ocean forest to the oldest one, i have 2 more seedlings in old soil, going to wait untill theyre a little older to repot and i think tomorrow or day after i will start with big grow fert, the oldest is starting on its third set of leaves so i think thats about far enough into veg yes?

will update pics in a couple of days

I think most people wait until about the 4th or 5th set of leafs(not including the seed leafs) and/or about 3-4 weeks into veg(that is once the seed at broken soil) I could be wrong but thats what I have always seen and read
