I need help! First time grower..think im making mistakes!!
K, so I have baked myself into a friggin coma now but here goes... go to the Cannabis lounge here and get all the books you'll ever want about this stuff and read, read, read! Get a dependable moisture meter and learn how to use it to take the guesswork out of watering, and let them dry out pretty good before watering, (when they start to wilt and the soil is DRY, they need to be watered!)...over time, you'll get the feel for it, when and how much to water, that is...then water thoroughly with properly ph'd water until you get some run off out the drains (10% or so...Emmie like percentages, so that's for her!) and all the soil in the pot or bag or whatever, is completely damp. After awhile using the moisture meter, and you have a feel for it, you can go to the "pick up the pot method" and give that fine new moisture meter to your buddy that's handing out incorrect advice....LMAO! You will need a good PH meter to tell what PH is, so get one of those, also...what the heck is Fiji water? imported from the island? LOL I dunno what that is, so I don't know what to tell you about it....ordinary tap or well water will work if it's fairly normal to start with, or possibly rainwater collected, depending on where you live and the rain you get...ck ph first (ALWAYS! EVERY TIME!) tho and adjust as needed....in soil you want around 6.8 or so...so adjust water to achieve that in the soil, but the soil should be close to that figure to begin with! That should keep you busy for a few days while they dry out...."two or three days" depends on way too many variables and the plants need for moisture will change and increase as they grow, so you need to know, not guess at it! Don't guess at ph either! Happy growing, and reading!
TANKJR Reviewed by TANKJR on . I need help! First time grower..think im making mistakes!! I'm a first time grower and fear that i am making mistakes.I have 3 plants growing right now, the seeds (feminized, blueberry/diavolo hybrid called La Diva) have germinated and have now grown to little plants, which is where the problem comes in, one of the plants is thriving and is about 6 inches in height while another one, is only about 3 inches in height but its leaves seem to be "fatter", aside from the height issue, it also seems to be doing well, on to the third plant, the biggest issue, Rating: 5
