And with good reason. Under 24 hours of light, the plant will spend too much time trying to photosynthesize and not enough time establishing a good root system. Root growth is much more vigorous during dark periods, when the plant isn't focusing so much on producing foliage.

M.B.A. - I use fish emulsion regularly when vegging, but I also keep other balanced fertilizers around for when I need them. If you're going to use the emulsion regularly, then you should probably flush the soil with clean water at least once a month. That stuff has a tendency to build up in the soil, and can get smelling pretty nasty after prolonged periods of use.

Besides that, just enjoy the process and learn from your mistakes. Don't love your plants to death, and remember the 'KISS' principle.

Mr. Clandestine Reviewed by Mr. Clandestine on . Advice???My 1 st grow Ok I am almost at 1 month and 1 week w/my 1st 3 plants. I was wondering if there was anything special I should be doing for my plants? I check the moisture of the dirt everyday and my timer is running 18-6 should I give more or less light? or leave it how it is? I have a half gallon spray bottle that I have water w/a fish emultion in that i keep the soil moist with. Any advice at this stage would be great!!!! Rating: 5
