What's up mrbig. So hold off on the nutrients untill your plant is at its 5th 6th internode or sets of leaves. The soil has all the nutrients the little seedling will need. Now if possible id try to go with something organic. But then again if you don't want to be mixing all sorts of nutrient products check out a product called MAXIBLOOM. YOU can use it the way thru the plants veg and flower cycle. Pateints my friend the buds will be here in no time :-)

Also is the curling just because it is growing? because the light isn't to close and i haven't given it any ferts

To me it looks like it is doing very good but that's why I'm here :D (I also every 3-4 days give it like 1/3 its water with MG water then the other 2/3 regular deer park
Those do not look good. Go to my grow log "cataract kush" and u will see what they should look like. Seems like urs r behind quite a bit. Fill out the troubleshooting form and we can give u better advise.
the leafs are growing at least 2-3x each day but i am using the lights like 3-5 inches away and that is since i put the plain white "shroud" around it so it beams in maybe a 8x8inch area and the fan brings in enough air that you can feel it and its cold coming out the top. it is also starting to smell dank

3 26w probably 2700k and 24/7 so far and i haven't seen any super terrible signs i am just worried that it hasn't gotten taller but could it because there is so much light it doesn't need to stretch? it should be at least 4800 lumen's on the low end of 1600 each but 26w are usually 1800. so at least 4800-5400 lumen's in the 2700k spec
would love some replies or advice
If you are running your light 24/7, stop..... Give it 18/6 and watch it grow the way it was meant to.... Cannabis has two photoperiods, one light, one dark. Start with this change first....
I agree with Treez81, you should fill out the troubleshooting form to get better responses as to why you plant is growing sooooooo sllooooooooooowwww.....

so the picture i posted on the 15th doesn't look like its grown enough in 7 days in the 22nd picture
No, it doesn't.... That's just my opinion though.... Think of your plant as a plant that would grow under the sun... And what I mean by that is to create an artificial environment that best mimics mother nature.... The dark photoperiod allows the plant to store energy. If you don't allow it to store energy, all energy is used and the plant builds slower....Quote:

Cool cool thanks for the advice and i found out that 24/0 is fine all it will really do is make the plant shorter and stretch less and to just switch to 18/6 when the veg is over. Plus i don't need a 4ft tall plant since the dark period is just to copy outside light but doesn't affect it enough to worry until your ready to flower
