How to get thicker leaves?
Well... it's indoors, in a 3 or so gallon pot with soil, I forgot the brand name of the soil but I know it had some nutes in it already. The guy at the store said it was the best stuff they had, and has worked like a dream thus far. I gave the plant nutes for the first time like 5 days ago using orchid food wich is 20-14-13. I used about an 1/8 of a teaspoon in a 1-liter bottle, after this I had no ill-effects and it began to grow outwards very fast. The last time I waterd was on the first of this month and in that water was the food so I don't know.
The plant is 4 and a half weeks old. I am about to get it more light but up until now it has been growing with just one 27 watt CFL and a 17 watt, 15"-T8, giving it 15 hours of light because it just reacts and grows best when I turn them off after 15 hours. I water with filtered tap water that sits there untill next watering then I shake it for oxygen before I water, I don't know the PH though. Also, I don't think it's heat stress because the thinning leaves (first and second before the newest ones) are like 4 inches away from the CFL and the room temp is always around 68-72 fahrenheit. I don't know about the humidity though, and for ventilation I just turn on the fan for like an hour or 2 everyday that's about it. Well that seems to cover almost everything. Thank u
