my first ever grow!

Strange. She's quite stretched and not many nodes (though pretty and healthy otherwise), which would indicate lack of light, yet she wilts under the lights, as if they were too strong?
I would have guessed you were overwatering her, that tends to make them wilt, but you said you don't.

Maybe it's lack of nutes after all. Sorry, someone more pro than me will have to answer. I think KP's suggestion are good, though.

Edit: On closer inspection, she seems to have stretched earlier on, but is getting denser towards the top - my guess is you haven't been moving the lights and that she's only now reaching them?

Nutes: I'm no expert on that either. I know people don't recommend mixing organic and synthesised. For myself though, I'm mixing NPK with PK, two completely different brands, and it's working fine, but I think some brands may not marry as well.
You should post the NPK values of the nutes you're using.

Sorry I don't have better answers.

yeah i have no idea why the leaves did that it hasnt happened sence, im gonna go and get some new lights tomorrow, when i bought the pure blend pro the guy gave me some liquid karma but didnt inform me on how to use it and if i was to use it with the pure blend, the npk is 3/1.5/4

[faithless]

3/1.5/4 is perfectly normal veg nute though a little weak, as you may know already. Is that the pure blend pro? The liquid Karma seemed to be more hormones and stuff from the other thread on it. It looked good to me. Basically, it seemed to be about helping the plant use the nutes, it didin't seem to be a nute itself

If I was you though, I'd adress the real probs, which is what KP was touching on, I think.
Better lights, and I'd probably repot in a bigger pot too, and get the stem a little deeper down maybe.

[chronic352]

i just put it into a bigger pot earlier today and the new lights im getting tomorrow, yeah its the pure blend pro, the liquid karma is 1-1-3,4,or5 not to sure

[faithless]

liquid karma is 1-1-3,4,or5 not to sure

So it's high in potassium, which helps it with it's resistance and good for roots.

Just looking at the NPK values, they should be fine for vegging. Whether some unforeseen problems could occur from mixing brands, I can't say, but the combined nutes at 1:1 or possibly pure blend/Karma: 2:1 should be fine.

My two cents anyway.

make sure you get GE daylight... 6500k spec, will work wonders for you...

as for nutes, that's pretty weak. i know there's lots of bad press on miracle gro, but i've use mg all purpose for garden vegetables 24-8-16 for years, with nothing but excellent results. start at quarter strength and work up. just make sure you get the all purpose that is for garden vegetables, as mg makes like 500 differen kinds...

for flower, use a super phosphate, i like green light products, especially superbloom.

you can use the karma with any nutes, as it is formulated to help metabolize nutes. also adding a tablespoon of sugar per gallon helps...

get some good nutes, feel it out, an soon you will have exploding growth

love, kp

[kindprincess]

what i meant about karma is that is contains hormones...

you'll want to feed one day, use karma a day or two later. my bad, sorry for the confusion.

mixing will change your npk to an average of the two.

ie 24-8-16 and 1-1-4 in equal quantities would be 12.5-4.5-10

love, kp

[chronic352]

thanks kp im deffinatly gonna get those lights i think im gonna keep using these nutes i wanna try and stay organic and thanks for letting me know its safe to use the karma with the pure blend

[ridethefire]

Looking good so far! Can't wait to see it grow, new lights make all the difference! Where are you going to get your bulbs? I went to home depot and they only had CFL's up to 150watts and not in daylight so we went to a standard light bulb store and found 250watt daylight bulbs for $20 each... Usually places like that will cut you a deal for multiple lights... Haggle Baby!
What size pots did you transplant them into? Dude, I would LST the shit out of that plant!

[chronic352]

ok yeah i get it i just fed its today after i transplanted so in two days use the karma?
