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.
daihashi Reviewed by daihashi on . First Grow, CFL w/ bagseed. I've been having alot of problems that I've been posting in this thread under plant problems. I finally decided that it's probably best just to start a grow log. Here is the room setup. Room Dimensions: 2.2' x 12' x 9' (maybe 10). Shelving system: 2 shelves. First shelf is 18" tall, Second shelf can run up to the ceiling. Both shelves are slightly more than 4' wide. Lighting: These are all daylight CFLs. Should be 6000k-6500k on the color temperature scale. I have 8 27watt bulbs Rating: 5
