Feminized Hempstar @ 6 weeks - Comparisons

[mjdragon]

Hey all,

Here's my weekly update on the grow.

Well as you can see they're still doing really well, more lower growth than ever, and they're starting to show sex (although you can't really tell on the pics).

First off, here are a couple of pics from the same view, a week apart.

And here are some more pics.

A couple of the plants have purple stems - i've read that this could be nutrient defficiency, but my thoughts are just natural colouration - they had purple stems from the very start.

I was going to veg for 3 months but the way these things are growing I think i'd run out of vertcal space before then! But i'm still going to leave them for another 4 weeks..

Am also gonna start using fert for the 1st time next week - i'm thinking 25% strength to start with? Any advice on this? I wasnt to stay organic if at all possible.

Also looks like i'm going to have move up a pot size to 5 gallon, as recommended in earlier posts by Faithlessxxx - good advice there sir!

Any thoughts or questions let me know.

Personally, I would agree on both counts, i.e. up the pot size and start your nutes. And yes, 25% strength is a good starting point. Next feed 50%, after that 75%, finally 100% according to the label. Remember, if you feed every time you water, then later your gonna be asking what you can do for nute burn, cuz you will burn em. I like to feed at every OTHER watering and watch my plants VERY closely. They'll tell you what they need, if your intuitive enough to pick up on the clues.
Good Luck.

much better to keep nutes diluted to 50% throughout :smokin:

Thanks PGW..

Yea i'm not gonna start nute burning them, I've done that before!

Once i've repotted them I might not feed them at all for another 2 weeks, as the soil I use is pretty good.

Was thinking something high in Nitrogen to start with, then move on to P and K when i swap the lights to HPS. I think that's right? And i'm probably gonna feed every 3rd time i water.. And see how they react.

Thanks for replying..
