lower the light

[stonedblue]

yeh, its the only plant, this is really just a test. It is bagseed, but if it is a male i will just make butter from it. 50% isn't so bad ha.

Thanks for the advice on lowering the light. I can't really do that, but i can do the next best thing which is raising the plant.

One more question:Is 30 degrees Celsius a good temperature, thats about 85 Fahrenheit I believe.

I'll keep posting every few days or so.

Thanks!

Alright, heres some more pictures

How long until i have to get some fertilizer?

Can you tell if I am watering too much/too little?

What is the ideal temperature? right now i have about 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

85F is dead border line hot, i have grown in the 90's the whole way and they do not appreciate it as the buds become fluffy.

with nutes i just wait until the 1st set of true leaves start to yellow pretty good then i add my veg nutes, read up on nutes and how they work its really good info to know.

this is how i water, i have never overwatered a plant this way and its super easy.

pick your plant when it is full of water, it should feel pretty heavy now everyday pick up your plant until its soil goes dry, it shouldnt be heavy at all in comparison, water them and repeat and keep count of how many days this took that way if your unsure you know at 3 days she ran dry so i better go check.

thanks, i'm going to do that right now

Your stem stretched initially so I would add a little more dirt. It will give it more support. Also with fluorescents you want to try to get about 2 inches from the tops of the plants,and 77-78 degree F is optimal temperature for photosynthesis. Arjan from Greenhouse seeds used 25 celsius in the day, 19 celsius at night ( 77F, and 66F ) This isn't a necessity to do a temperature change, just thought I'd let you know what the real connoisseurs maintain in their grow rooms. Good luck
