I am doing an outdoor grow, though I have the plants in containers of potting soil (miracle grow with extended nutrient release, supposedly really good for flowering plants). I have four plants, all about five weeks old. They have four tiers of branches each. They are each a little over a foot tall. I have not added any additional nutrients/fertilizers.

I have several questions, as my instinct tells me that it's approaching time to do SOMETHING, though it's escaping me what that could be. Should I top them or prune them? Should I begin adding nutrients? I've noticed some reddening on the stems, and the leaves on the bottom branches are a bit yellow, and the tips of those leaves are brown. However, the new growth looks very healthy.

By the way, I don't know the strains. They are quality seeds, as I smoked the buds they came from.

Searching the grow FAQs is proving to be...difficult. If anyone could give me just some basic pointers or let me know if I'm on the right track that would be much appreciated.

Thanks guys

StickyBuds1987 Reviewed by StickyBuds1987 on . Please help? Okay I have two sprouts that are looking pretty good so far outside and one that just popped inside. I found some mg water soluble plant food, is this something I should use, if it is when should I start using it? My other question is, I have my sprout inside in just alright soil it was a last resort thing but I finally got time and found some excellent natural soil outside, should I wait till my seedling gets bigger or should I move it now? Any help would greatly appreciated. Thanks Rating: 5
