Hey Johnny, thanks for that man. I also have Serious Seeds White Russian. Haven't dropped seeds yet... I'm growing White Widow now. Great to see that you say that she's a very good plant

FIRST TIMER SEEKS ADVICE hello, this is my first time of doing this and i need a little help with a couple of things. 1) what nutrients should i use on my babies? Presently they are 4 weeks from when i put the seed in the rockwell (now in soil) and are all different sizes. i am thinking of getting 'Dr. Hornby's Big Bud Powder' -from advanced nutrients- for the flowering period. any good? At moment i am using 'baby bio' which is something the guy in my local garden centre sold me for young plants. Is this any good Rating: 5

ummm an update. things seem to be going well. do these plants -in general- look ok people?

wish they would grow upwards a bit more, it seems like they will never get there!!!

[turtle420]

Dude, they look super!

Why do you want them to grow up? Be careful what you wish for... you might end up with xMas trees!

hehe,
weed shortage where i live! not good smoking some bush weed filled with seeds, want serious skunk of some sort! Even better if i grew it! as soon as the majority of them hit 25cm tall they r going 12/12. They are bigbud x northern lights, anyone tried this strain? got the seeds from nirvana in holland.
GROW MY BEAUTIES GROW!
might chuck all these bush seeds in a field or something in the spring, or in a hedgerow just for a laugh. see how big they get before someone steals or burns them!

thinking of getting one of these things. do they do a good job of shifting air and masking smells? my space is roughly 2ft x 4ft x 7ft(tall).
cheers

Be glad they are small now because once they hit flowering, things won't be.

You want tight internode spacing in your plants anyways. During this stage, it is very common for the plants internodes to be tight and not spaced out, a very common trend. Once the plant hits 12/12, they will stretch, so don't worry During the first 2-3 weeks of 12/12, the top will stretch upwards. I've had my WW's stretch for weeks, growing as much as 3/4inch in one night!

The stretching will come. Your plants look supurb. Keep up the nice work! :thumbsup:

here is an update: it is their 5th birthday today (weeks) and they are all looking good and strong. im happy.

6 of them are roughly the same height but the one of the is nearly half as tall again, do u think it would be worthwhile topping the biggy so he slows down a bit or im going to end up with 6 plants and one cannabis tree!?

i have been feeding them with a 10-5-2 feed so far but im going to mix that in with some phostrogen 14-10-27 to balance them out. fed one of them with the phostrogen last night as a tester and it didnt seem to mind. have some doc horneys big bud on way for late flowering.

Im thinking of putting them to 12-12 this weekend (in 5 days), do u think they will be ok or should i leave it a few days more. They (today) range from 6 inches tall to 10 inches tall and at current rate they will all have grown at least 2 inches more by weekend. Big enough?

cheers again guys!

always forget something: my pots r 20cm across and 20cm deep. Do u think i will need to get some bigger pots as i can see roots coming out of bottoms of pots already.. Only went in these pots 10 days ago! Or will i be ok if i keep the food coming and them nicely moist?
these 7 pots cost me £20 i couldnt believe it the cheeky fuckers, £20 for some plant pots!
im not a tight ass but if i need bigger ones then they are going to cost me even more and it just feels like im getting ripped off!
cheers folks

I once heard for every foot of plant per gal of pot. ex.... 3 ft plant 3gal pot etc..... u must think about them 2x in size after flowering. So u said in five days u will induce flowering so just do the estimate on the size see what size they are now then double that size. With that u should know what size pots u need or already have. :thumbsup: As for the topping do it now while ur still in the VEG stage and have a few days left in that stage. Cause I did 3 a week before flowering and I had great results :thumbsup: So I did another 1 a week after flowering and not the same results so just something to think about :dance:

hi
r these spots caused by a lack of manganese? whats that then?

my thinking behind these spots with my very limited knowledge is that they are caused by the fact that the water i have been using is 6 -6.2 as i wrongly thought that it was the correct level. what does the clan think? also how to i reverse this?


For soil i should be nearer 6.8?

please help guys as i need to knock this on head right now!
