ok im a "first time" grower. I dont have enough money to set up a grow room so they are under a table i have with a blanket over it. so here it goes:
I took some soil from my backyard and put it in a 5 gallon buckets for my 2 plants. I know not to use outside soil but thats all i got. one plant is dro and the other is some mids. My dro is pretty skunky and over 10 inches tall. It has decent sized branchings about 2 inches long in between the nodes and same with mids. mids is a little over a foot but no smell. Both plants have purplish stems which i think is a phosphorous def. I havent added any nutes and probably am not going too. If i can get nutes what nutes should i get. and do i really need them.
Im using two 4 foot long 40w flouro tubes about an inch or two away. im running 18/6 hours. I dont really know where to get different lights and also dont have the money so im stuck.
For about 2 weeks they have had tiny little fly things and little white wormlike bugs. Also the dro had some cottony threadlike mold on top of the soil. I added a bit much hydrogen peroxide to the soil to kill it and so far it seems good. I put like 3 tablespoons of peroxide in soil without diluting it. I immediately realized that was stupid and watered it with almost a full waterbottle of water.
Im a month and a half into vegging. should i switch to flowering soon or wait. and wondering if my plants are going to survive and possibly produce some buds.
