1st GROW - 350 watt cfl's, 2 plants, 5 weeks from sprouting

[Smokey Robinson]

thanks for the thread omega, it had some useful info!
i'll keep updating this thread as the plants progress along

...Miracle grow works fine but the water ph should be around 8.0 (that´s it u read it right 8.0) or else u might nute burn the ladies ...

Sorry Omega but thats not correct...8.0 is Waaay to high....your ph Should be around 6.6-6.8...

....and if you have extreme ph you don't actually nute burn them...its quite the opposite...they lack nutrients b/c the plant "locks" up...

SMOKEY put a fan on your plants it will help the stem get a little thicker. lookin at pic #3 you might get top heavy and snap. first support them , then add your fan. lookin good over all

my bad i didnt have the pic blown up and pic 3 was the leaf stem i was lookin at. ok back to work.

A little update on the plants

this is plant two, which i'm almost positive is the female.
let me know what you think
45 days from sprouting and now in its second week of 12/12

also the last one is a pic of a new seedling which is growing nice and compact

[OmegaVermelho]

Yap Smokey it looks like a girl, the plants are looking good and the seedling is looking good to, how old is she???
And is that foil i see in ur grow space????if it is dump it m8, thats no good for growing.

[Smokey Robinson]

Omega, the seedling is now 2 weeks, on its 5th node, growing nice and compact...i grew the seedling strictly under cfls...
i believe i'm going to switch it to 12/12 now

the female plant was originally started on just sunlight until i switched it to cfls...which might be reason for some of the stretching...

foils no good eh??
shit maybe i should get rid of it then
why isn't it good for growing?
oh and i started ph'ing my water after your advice and the plant has seemed to really enjoy it

thanks for your help, appreciate it man
peace and respect
