Hey guys,
Need your thoughts/critique on how my plants are doing and I also have a few questions I am hoping you guys can answer for me. I just threw them onto 12/12 on Wednesday after being in complete darkness for about 30 hours. Already I am seeing rapid growth since the switch (ended up burning some tips as well -_-), hoping to see the sex soon. I recently topped them last Wednesday. Oh and this is my first grow
Soil: Miracle Gro Moisture Control (I know not the best)
Strains: OG Kush Mix from Bag seed
Age: About 8 Weeks Old
Lighting: 4x23w CFL Daylight 2700K I keep them about 1 to 2 inches away from the plants.
Ventilation: Small USB Fan from the top vent, and Home Depot 3 Speed Air Circulator
Growbox: Thick cardboard, about 3ft tall x 2ft wide X 2 ft thick. Inside has sun sheild.
PH: I am planning to pick up a pH meter later very soon.
Pests: 1 baby leafhopper that I vacuumed up.
Now I have a few questions. All help is greatly appreciated.
1.) Is my grow box pretty safe? I have been using cardboard and had no issues as far as extreme heat.
2.) Will my lighting be sufficient?
3.) Are my plants looking good considering the lighting and age?
4.) Some of the fan leaves' stems are a light purple. Is this a deficiency or normal?
5.) How soon will they start to show sex?
6.) When the lights are on I leave the door cracked with the fan facing outwards to get temps right around 80 degrees. Is this OK to do? (The reason is because I am struggling with controlling the temperature probably need more ventilation. Had the doors closed at one point with the Home Depot fan blowing towards the roof and saw the temp at 95 degrees!)
7.) I am trying to keep the temp between 75-85 for flowering is this sufficient? With the door open and the fan extracting air from the grow box it stays around 80-85. I also have a cup of frozen water ready to throw in the box with the fan blowing to it in case it gets too hot in LA.
8.) From my understanding, Miracle Gro does not need any nutes for the whole grow. Is this correct?
9.) I just topped the plants recently, now I am seeing way more than 2 tops each plant is this normal? I thought it would make only 2 tops.
Thanks!
