First time grower and only have one plant - Not sure if I'm doing this right

[TONYBLUNTZ420]

Thank you all... so I found out these lights push 30 watt only each... so I decided to throw them in there with cfls too... makes my baby girl look pretty

 

[TONYBLUNTZ420]

Ok so Ive been feed VG the nutes for a while now and never switched on and off water with and without nutes.. so I was thinking maybe next feed just water ph at 6.3-6.5
But u went to check on her and she felt a lil light and dry and I fed her the 12/1/15 so about 2 days ago .. I was thinking of just giving her water tonight or tomorrow. .but I don't want to over due it... and I usually give her 2 red solo cups every feed.....

..So I fed VG with HP 6.3 water with no nutes and I woke up to her looking like this ...is this normal .. her next feed im going to go back to her nutes had half strength see how she takes it .. thanks for your input and advice

 

[TONYBLUNTZ420]

Hey guys .. hope all is well.. cuz we ate not 100% sure if it's a auto... question is .. do I need to change my lights now since it's flowering or it doesn't matter

 

[Mello136]

I think she is just drinking up her water and that's why she's a bit droopy leaved. Let's hope you didn't over water....

 

[TONYBLUNTZ420]

I got nervous earlier that day and I thought something wrong.. but she is lifting up and looking beautiful again..I will post pics later... also LST'd it again last night ...thanks for the input

 

[Mello136]

Of course Tony any time! Any pics with the new training?

 

[TONYBLUNTZ420]

I was also thinking of getting T5 bud too... I have a florescent holster that I was gonna make smaller and rig a plug to plug into outlet... are there different T5 bulb or are they a standard buld... I really didn't want to get that 3-4 bulb.. or should I just stick to my cfl's

 

[Mello136]

T5's are great, so are cfl's. It all boils down to preference here, your space, size of plants, veg or flower, etc. OlderGrower is probably more capable of answering your question because he is currently using t5's.

 

[TONYBLUNTZ420]

Oh ok... I love this community so helpful. .. and I meant to right 3-4 ft bulbs.. want to have a descent size not like the standard ones you put in a building... or are they that size only... I can create a smaller ballast for T5 that's why I want to know if there standard or come in diff sizes

 

[Mello136]

diff sizes, 2ft, 4ft, 8ft, is mostly what I have seen.

 

[TONYBLUNTZ420]

So I woke up to look on VG b4 leaving for work and thus bud magically grew over night. .lol j/k...
Good day friends...thought I would post some pictures
First to are my favorite bong with perks and two ashcatchers connected
And the other is a corn pipe style blown glass hits like a champ

She is doing lovely and im going to feed in about 3 days and going to a 1/2 dose now in the gallon of water.. I originally was going 1/4 of recommended dosage now going to go 1/2 recommended dosage .
I have faith that she shouldbe able to handle it...

Next pics Will be showing a few more LST'D I did last night

 

[TONYBLUNTZ420]

I was thinking of adding t5 florescent bulbs... but I don't understand the difference between cfls and the t5 6500k bulb... and can I put them in there together.. and how far fromm the plant... input please.. thanx

 

[TONYBLUNTZ420]

I was gonna order these

 

[TONYBLUNTZ420]

Good evening or afternoon... depending where you are... I decided to day to make a 2ft out of a 4ft florescent holder can't think of the right word right now... soo this is what I did...

... so it works now... this is a T8 6500k I hope this is good.. and should I put it in my grow tent...

And I think VG need they cal/mag leaves are turning yellow fast ...

Appreciate input and let me know what you guys and gals think..good day

Could be nute locked? Maybe lights are too close? I'm not an expert

 

[TONYBLUNTZ420]

cotyledons are already yellowing, and I see instead of a deep green, a sort of yellow look to your seedlings... definitely indicating to me that you are watering too often. Let them dry out each time... you will see.

Always shake or wipe off water droplets from your plants on indoor grows if there's more than 1/2hr before lights out. Unlike sunlight artificial light in tight quarters can use the droplets as magnifiers and put burns spots on your leaves.

Welcome Tony! Head over to the grow journal section of the site (link in my sig) and start a journal. You'll get a lot more help over there and you will be more organized and able to back track for your next grow. I'll sub and help as much as I can. Again, welcome to 420Mag!!!

Maybe lights are too close?

If that were the case the damage would be at the top of the plant.

BAR Bluntz... High Five to my fellow New Yorker! It looks as if you're already in good hands here, great info dished out. Mello is spot on; once you start a Grow Journal and tag it to your signature it becomes easier to get help.

"How to start your Journal"


Below is a post with some pointers a good 420 friend of mines gave me when I first joined this site and I still live by them.

heres my top 5 beginers hints:
1. Dont love her to death. Too much water, too much nutes, too much anything shes dead. Water every time the pot feels light.
2. Dont tell anyone. When those buds look nice, even your best friend will steal from you.
3. Read read read. Completed journals, how to's, whatever.
4. Provide lots on usefull info in the journal. If the good growers (not me) have to ask 50 q's to figure out a problem, they wll pass and move on.
5. Take it slow. Any stress-defoliation,ph issues, nute issues, take a week to overcome. So too much too fast = dead.

I wish you good luck and i will help you if i can but im just a noob. I read alot on here And can point you in the right direction.if you use the resources her wisely, you will be a grower before you know it!

Good morning or afternoon depending what part of the 420 world...so I was doing some math and I believe that VG is in her 4th week of flowering or showing notes or the V white hairs 11/8/15 to be exact..is there anything I should be doing besides full nutes and cal/mag I put in ... o also was thinking of changing the timer to 12/12 .. but you guys telling me she is auto and wouldn't matter what timer is set.. cuz it grows in any light but 24/0..I've looked up videos of other ants at this stage and there doing 12/12 and they have both auto and non auto...and there ant is looking a bit bigger and fuller than what mine looks like... but also it is a different strain all together..just leave your input or advice. .. it would be much appreciated. . Thank you guys again.. will post some pics later on the day
