i was wondering if the all purpose miracle gro 24-8-16 would be ok to use for vegging them
help me veg my babies please
no bro you dont want to use miracle grow tell you what ya do go and buy some Maxsea 16-16-16 use that until your plants are into 2 weeks of budding then switch to tiger bloom and some bat guano that will definately get you some buds

here are a pic of each. all are said to be grapefruit skunk and was transplanted about 3days ago from clones. i need to keep them nice n short as they will on a balcony but i also want to get some nice buds off them, i was reading up on topping etc... but my question is when should i start to top them?:rastasmoke:

From personal experience, miracle grow causes over fertilization all the time. If you already have it, make sure you mix it with regular crap soil from your backyard but make sure that less then half of it is the miracle grow soil. I used this for my current plants and it worked very nicely. As for your slow growth rate their could be a few things at play. Chances are you've got good genetics because they were clones and everything but theres no guarantee but if the genetics aren't very good then that could be a reason for slowed growth (not to mention present in all plants since their clones). Another reason could be that you badly shocked your plant while transplanting. Another could be your not watering enough so the roots aren't being encouraged to grow outward. I doubt it but it could be too cold, stay above like 75 and you should be fine. My opinion would be to just get water it nicely all around everyday and watch its growth closely. Don't do anything too drastic, just let it go on its own for the most part.

Oh yeah another thing, I wouldn't recommend cutting or bending anything on your plant if its having growth problems at the time.

so far i watered them twice in the 6 days i had em .... i use a moisture meter pushed down to about root level. it reads about a 4-5 (0=dry 10=wet)is that not enough or to much for it. How much of the miracle grow would u say to add to the water? i use a 3L can with tap water that i let sit out to get to room temp. i have yet to get a ph tester for the water n soil.
thank for the help :rastasmoke:

i think the 3-4 level on the meter is an OK time to water if its at the very bottom. Towards the top you want it to be pretty dry because that is where the water will disappear first.
I have not heard good things about miracle grow and cannabis and would avoid them if possible... Superthrive is nice to help build strong plentiful roots, and real beneficial after transplanting. I would recommend only using any additives once the plants are healthy.

Usually you want to plant into small pots to start. I hope those big ones have really good drainage, too.
Water with plain water only when the pot feels a bit light. Watch for your clones to start vertical growth, and for their lower leaves to start looking pale, and then start them on a 'grow' fert. MG is not great. Try a cannabis-specific fert. Chances are there is a grow shop near you. If not, you might be stuck with whatever they have at the local garden center. Do NOT use 'azalea and rhododendron' or 'orchid' or 'acid-loving plant' food!!!

so i woke up this morning, went to check on the girls n wow they looked so nice n happy, i can actually see the growth happening...i will put up some pics tomorrow for u all. the clones were in 16oz cups when i got them i then transplanted it to the pots u seen, they have 4-1/2inch holes for drainage. what i would like to know tho is how to top em out. i need to keep em as short as i can (max 3-3.5ft) any higher is very very risky. Also what should i look for at the store to use other then MG( my budget's very thin!)

You need more light. . .you said you are growing on a balcony. . are you in an apartment with balconys above you aswell? i grabbed a bunch of clones this year too been about 3 weeks and what i noticed was that the first week was very slow not alot of growth second week plants got thicker and branches started to begin by the begining of week 3 i started pinching or bending as its referred on here and i have seen an amazing difference in growth in one day alone branches grew 1.25 inches i was shocked and am very excited i also grow on a balcony and get direct sunlight for more then 3/4 of the day so my results have been crazy

OK Here is a GH Chart for cannabis. If those are real clones they are Hungry. If you have a Hydro Shop by you go pick up some Micro Grow and Bloom and read LateWoods Thread and you will have buds....
Good Luck GL
