First Grow, CFL w/ bagseed.

Well your learning so that's good, I just hope you have some better luck. Do what you think is best for your next batch of seeds. And if you want to keep them out of nutrients than thats fine.

I think just for the first 3-4 weeks. I've just had such back with nutrient burn that I'd rather stay away from it completely. Which thanks to the advice on another board member I finally have some soil that is KNOWN to be good. Now I have zero excuses.

4 of my 8 seeds have sank. I'm going to give them another 24 hours in the cup of water before I stick them in a paper towel/zip log bag to germinate.

I'll probably start another grow log as this one is just full of bad expierences. Going to start fresh completely.

Alright sounds good. Good luck with everything.

Here's a pick of the one plant that survived the second group of seedlings.

It's currently going through LST and has turned into a beast of a plant. It's probably about 10 inches and bushy as hell. Currently a little under 5 weeks old.

I have my other set of plants growing.. currently about a week and and a half to 2 weeks.

i only have 1 grow box setup. hopefully it doesn't turn into a monster over the next 3 weeks while I wait for the other plants to mature.

good organic soil without any nutes will produce just about as big a yeild and as nice buds as using all kinds of special nutes, especially if you don't get the nute strength right. Maybe try a little bud nutes (P/K) when the buds start growing.

Your plants look like they are pretty happy right now.

That's a 3 gallon pot, I have it mixed about 50% promix soil, 50% fox farm ocean soil, and just started using nutes at 1/4 strength. Currently using Age Old Grow organic nute solution. It's 12-6-6 NPK.

Going to keep increasing the dosage 1/4 - 1/3 strength until I see signs of too much nitrogen or flowering comes. Which ever comes first.

Shovel, do you know about how long I should let the side shoots grow before I start tying them down/tucking. I want them to get longer than the initial nodes that grew before the side shoots came sprouting out. That way all my leaves, old and new get some light.

Currently it's so bushy There's no light getting to the main stem (though I can fix this, just waiting for things to get longer unless someone tells me that I should try otherwise.)

Thanks for the reply.
