newb's 1st try...

UPDATE:

so heres Bonita at 32days from germ.

now growing at about 1/4" to 1/2" daily...now 9" tall. thinking of putting her into 12/12 at 12". im not looking to get a huge yeild out of this 1st grow, more for the learning experience...

her to bottom leaves (the rounded ones) have already withered and there seems to be some growth emerging where they once were, one side more then the other...looks like a new set of leaves, is this normal? i didnt bother trying to get a pic seeing that i have to macro lense and it would be a waste of time... :cool:

Hey Rekap I am also doing a CFL Closet grow mine is 29 days old from seed
just my little input to you i would bring them lights closer to her and wait a couple more weeks to 12/12 her if you bring the lights closer she will get alot
more fuller and will make more bud sites. i am using Phd water 6.5 with 1/4tsp
of Superthrive is all i use. if you want take a look at mine and see the diff with
the lights closer http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?t=36982


Good Luck ....

Where can i find some of that PHed water? i checked my PH today and it was about 4 :mad: how close can they be really without burning her? oh and should i be using superthrive with every watering?

You have to Buy PH UP and PH DOWN and a PH test kit so you know where your PH is. Other growers on here will also tell you that PH is Very very very
Important to if your plant lives or dies ... I have them Lights 1 inch from
my plant at all times... i also have a Fan Blowing across the Top of the plant
at ALL TIMES !!! (when the lights are on)
and i use the Superthrive every time water.
And get that PH Straight or you will have a DEAD PLANT 4 is way way Low
6.5 - 7 that is where you want it
Good Luck

Hey, Rekap, Bonita is looking great. Any chance of dropping the two outside CFL's down a bit? Most of their light is being lost and she needs light down low. Those CFL's can be MUCH closer, especially without the hood.

SuperThrive is perfectly safe to use with EVERY watering. Just a couple drops per gallon.

Since you've come this far and want to maximize the learning experience, why not veg another three weeks, or so? You can let her go another week, then start tucking and tying down her fan leaves and exposing her secondaries to light. This is where her buds will form and the more light the better. Grab some white pipe cleaners from a craft store. It's easy to do and the effect of light on the secondaries is amazing; it's like removing an umbrella.

Any chance of coming up with bat guano? She'd love some high nitrogen fert right now.

She really is looking awesome.

get your lights closer and water less frequently. the water is making her droop and those cfl's can be right next to her like 2" move the 2 outsides down beside her . that way you have on light on top and a light on each side.

she's a SHE! :dance:

only 5 days into 12/12 and already showing pistols, even on the secondaries :thumbsup:

ill get some pics up when she wakes up in the morning...although i have to macro lense but its better then nothing i guess :p

mean while ill be celebrating :D

i was thinking of tying down somme of her big fan leaves to the main stock...is this hard?

was planning on starting her on some schultz cactus juice 2-7-7 and was wondering if anyone out there can tell me how many drops per gallon and how often?

THANKS
REKAP_

couldnt help myself, took one while she was sleeping...i really want to start her on some cactus juice. can some please reply to my last question :(

Thanks.

Use 11 drops per gallon. Every other watering.
