Okay so here's the deal...my plant is looking somewhat droopy and thin...I'm thinking it may be from overwatering? But could it also be from adding some Miracle grow to the soil a few days back? Or could it be from not having any type of drainage in my container, where the water just sits?

My plant is about 3 weeks old right now, and I had it on a light cycle of 16/8, then i switched it to 13/11 for some reason, now I'm thinking maybe I should switch it to 18/6 or 20/4 for the last week of veg. cycle, then go down to 12/12 for the flowering stage...help, anyone??

Also, I'm concerned about switching containers at this point, even though I need to, so I can start the LST and topping to it, plus the plastic cup it is in is getting small.

I will attach some pictures, in chronological order, from a couple days ago, until earlier today.

The plant was first born on September 16th.

The first picture (Image.jpg) is from October 6th, the second (Image2.jpg) is from October 8th, and the last one (Image3.jpg) is from today, October 10th.

Help me out anyone?

Could be any of those things I mentioned above?

dont add any fert until at least you see another node imo - and make sure you only water enough to saturate the soil when it's bone dry. try sticking your finger in the soil, if its dry water, if not dont.

good luck buddy

with MG you have to watch out for how much water your useing. It holds water well, stick your finger down into the dirt b4 you water. make sure it's dryer then 70 year old vagina.

Transplant, with GOOD DRAINAGE, and less ferts... your soil should have a fair amount of nutes - what soil did you use???, if you do start nutes start at a 1/4 strength dose.

I'm about to transplant into a larger pot with drainage, using a mixture of Timberline soil and Black Kow compost, as well as some perlite.

And I started the nutes at full strength, which could also be some of the problem.

A node is where the leaf stems join the main stalk of the plant. They start out with pairs at each node, and when sexually mature, they start growing alternating nodes, instead.:peace:

I would hold off on nutes til replanted, the fresh dirt will have nutes in it. Give it a week or two before starting at 1/4, then go to 1/2 in another week or so.

Gradually work your way up to full strength.
