Hello 420 community! First off, I’m fairly new to the forum, I’ve grown off and on outdoors for a few years. This year, I decided to try my hand at growing indoors. My budget is limited, so my lights are not optimal, when the funds become available, that will be the first thing I upgrade. So, let me tell you what I’m working with, and the questions I have. Soil, FFOF (recycled from summer outdoor grow) I know, not good, once again, budget. I have 7gal fabric pots, a 2’X4’X5 tent. My lights are one 1200W LED (full spectrum blurple, probably not even 200W at the wall) I also have a Ygrow brand 600W White LED (also listed as full spectrum actual draw 150W). My ladies are Bergman Gold Leafs from I
GM. Soil PH is 6.0, my nutrients are all from Advanced Nutrients PH perfect line (photo of nutes below). I germinated all four seeds on August 17th. Yes, they are that old, and all very small for their age. I have done LST on all plants since they were very young, in order to keep them short, to allow for the “stretch” during flower. I have not flipped lighting to flower yet. Is it my poor lighting that causes my plants to be so small? I water them when they feel a little light, I also use one of the cheap PH meter, that also gives you a reading of soil moisture down deep in the soil. I feed my nutes at half strength, every other watering. I only use the B52, Micro, Grow, and Bloom for now, I’ll use the Big Bud and Bud Candy during flower. I grow simply because I enjoy it, I take pain meds for an injury I sustained at work, and hope to one day switch over to cannabis for pain relief / PTSD. I apologize if I have left out necessary information for you assessment, I’ve never posted any pics of this attempt at growing because, to be honest, I’m ashamed at my attempt! Everyone else’s plants are huge compared to mine, the size of my plants, germinated on Aug 17 are the size of most people’s plants on here that are 2 weeks old lol. Thanks for any input, keep in mind I’m a noob, thank you all!
