A little help please.... :)

[nosaj]

Alright guys ( and girls :stoned: ) I just have a little question about my baby and wanted to see if anyone here could help?

I planted a blue god seed (which i bought from a good quality dealer in vancouver) about 3 weeks ago, It sprouted fine and has begun to grow. It currently though is only 2 inches tall and has sprouted about 4 sets of leaves, one on top of the other. The first set of leaves that sprouted out of the seed have turned yellow and wilted to brown while the rest of the leaves are a healthy green except the set that sprouted directly after the first set (second set :stoned: ) These leaves are also a healthy green except the very tip of them which is just beginning to turn yellow, One of my questions is:

Is this yellowing of the first and beginning of the second set of leaves normal?

next, as i mentioned before this little plant only seems to be about 2 inches tall after 3 weeks and is continuing to grow new sets of leaves but is not growing very much at all height wise and it does not seem to look like a few of the others sets of pics i have seen at about the same stage around this forum

Now i know each strain is different but at what point can i expect this plant to grow much height wise. It seems as if after 3 weeks it still has a long ( 3 months?) way to go until it will be ready to flower. Could it be stunted and still be growing new sets of leaves one on top of the other? At what point will a branch/stem(?) grow and then develop leaves out of it. I guess i also have to mention that i have transplanted this plant from an orignal styrofoam cup (which it sprouted out of) to a larger pot until its roots seemed to out grow that and then again to a 4 gallon pot that will be its final growing place. COuld i of damaged it, it still seems to be growing new sets of leaves

Now to give you the run down on the care of the plant, i seem to be watering it about every 2-3 days as necessary and have not yet added any ferts or nutes to the soil. I am not an experienced grower as you can see but i am also not an experienced grower of anything ever so i dont know as much as i would like yet, but i read these forums and such a tonne and am learning slowly. As for the lighting and such i currently use 4 CFL's day light for veg and germ and will be switching to 4 CFL no-stink warm lights when necessary. The lights equal about 400 watts as of light now and are in a container that is properly vented and seems to not be running too warm or cold. The soil i am using is from home depot and is just normal soil ( i didnt know too much when i bought it, but is mixed generously with perlite and vermiculite. I would say it is 1 part perlite for every 4 parts soil and maybe 1/4 part vermiculite for every 4 parts soil.


here is a similar set up to mine - (thanks bodom you so far are my inspiration)

I also just wanted to ask, even though i know this isnt the right forum, if anyone has tried blue god. It looks spectacular to say the least.

Often the first set of round baby leaves will yellow up.

I guess i also have to mention that i have transplanted this plant from an orignal styrofoam cup (which it sprouted out of) to a larger pot until its roots seemed to out grow that and then again to a 4 gallon pot that will be its final growing place.

Kinda need to ease-up on the transplanting. It's only 2" tall? A plant with a stray root coming out of the bottom, isn't necessarily ready for transplant. Also, damaging the roots while transplanting will cause stress and stunt active growing till it recovers from this stress. Patience. Overloving a plant can kill it.

Now to give you the run down on the care of the plant, i seem to be watering it about every 2-3 days as necessary and have not yet added any ferts or nutes to the soil.

Going to have to feed her sooner or later...right now is probably a good time, and weekly thereafter, as directed on package. (at least that's a good place to start)
I've never flowered with CFLs, nor tried Blue God, so can offer no assistance with the rest.

Any idea what your water ph is? The soil mentioned is ok, but not the best. Adding perlite seemed necessary when I went that route.

Ok i got ya, Thx for the help. Just to ask what kind of nutes do you recommend and do u think it would be good to dilute the nutes for the initial stages of adding them? I know these are redundant questions around here but i appreicate the direct advice on my little baby here.

regarding my PH i will get a test today and let you know later on. I agree i needed to ease up on teh transplanting i just decided that it was probably better to allow her to grow in a big container as the smaller pot that she was in actually was getting filled up by roots. None the less i have no need to transplant it again.

I have read about fox farms soil a ton around here, is the best place to get it from the internuts or will my local grow shop have that particular brand for future knowledg?

Thx again for teh response it is much appreciated.

I also wanted to ask if it looks to be at the appropriate height/size in general for 3 weeks?

thx

Man, I was worried too when I thought the babies were growing slower than they should.. This link is from about week 2:

First Grow - Bag Seed - Whoopee.. - Cannabis Photo Gallery

These are 3 weeks later..

First Grow - 34 day update - Cannabis Photo Gallery

Like someone else said, patience Grasshopper..

One other thought... Only the one plant? What happens if it turns out male? I'd germ a few more to up my odds..

From the pics:
-Your soil has too much fertilizer in it
-The pot is too large for that size plant
-The plant is showing tip scorch from the excess ferts and you need to flush your medium well.
