lookin nice mate. how long they been flowering for ? 3 weeks? feeding them nutes ? C

Cheers pal, I've only been giving it just distilled water with 'plantroidz' a friend told me to use, and its been flowering for around 10-12 days approx, are nutes essential for the plant to finish and harvest, but the compost its in said on the label it contains all the nutrients needed for up to 6 weeks.

[Charbud]

That might be so but it might not contain the nutrients needed for a budding cannabis plant. Will probably be a more general nutrient buffer say something similar to miracle grow. Nutes arent completely necesarry, i did my whole first grow without them during flower and they turned out ok. I think if you want to get the most out of her you should buy some nutes and a ph pen, this will also speed up the learning process. Im on my third grow and only just started using a ph pen and nutes ! C

Thanks for the help Charbud, im pretty broke at the moment and havent really got the money to buy a PH pen although i will buy 1 for the next time round and if i was to get some nutes, could i start using them now or do you have to use them all the way through the grow? also how much do nutes cost and is there any you would reccomend? Cheers

Fair enough if you haven't got the cash, we all have those times..you can start giving them to her now but at a weaker strength to the recommended strength. at least half strength id say. I'm not an expert when it comes to nutes, as i said i only jsut started to use them properly but a common brand which is quite reuptable is canna. They do a whole range of nutrients but for you id recommend canna boost and canna pk13/14. There available on ebay from the uk, pk13/14 is about 3 quid for a small bottle but the boost is about 15. Use the boost throughout flowering(half strength see how she reacts) until a week before harvest and use the pk from week 5 - 7. Then plain water from week 7.5 onwards to get rid of any nasties left inside of the plant. Hope this helps, C

to me it doesnt look bushy enough and looks spindly like RAINHAZE mentioned, do you think the lights are too far away and shes growing to the light too quick or could this be other problems? or could it just be the strain, also could anyone estimate how many more weeks were looking at before harvest, other than that shes looking healthy. CHEERS :jointsmile:
