What do you guys recommend?

-hey guys, just wondered what you guys are using as far as nutes go and when you started your plants on nutes? I'm about 1 1/2 weeks into veg and am wondering when i can put them on the juice.

If I start a plant or plants from seed I wait till they are about 1 month old if they are a clone I wait half a month but go easy on the food because that will help you out if there's a problem you can rule out nute burn easer

if u want to start feeding then wait till its 2weeks old and start at 1/8th the strength and slowly build to full strength.with earlier feeding u can cause the plant to grow quicker,but u also take the chance for burning the plants.so its really your choice.

if he's gonna start feeding that early maybe half of 1/8th strength would be a bit safer

u mean 1/16th,but an 1/8th is safe,thats what i do and perfectly fine.

-well i'm not too anxious. I'm planning on 8 weeks of veg for max yield. Also one of my girls' first leaves are curling on the sides of the leaves. Not burned, yellow, or "crunchy/dry". I'll throw pics up in a second.

the lower leaves are naturally goin to die off,mine often die off at 4days old(i get a 3-4 node bush in 4days after sprouting)thats on 24hours of light,if there 18/6 then it takes 7days for 4-5nodes.

the ones i started from seeds still have their small leafs still and they are on the 3rd node but yes don't be freaking out if they are 3 nodes high and the first small leafs die off

i just pour the nutes straight on to the leaves full strength when they are babies. they love it

r u using organic nutes? if so that's why , I'm using non organic

-the funny thing is that the first pair of serrated leaves (the curling ones) aren't dying. Their just curling up. Also what kind of nutes are you guys using? Where do you buy them? Just looking for the best bang for the buck.

I buy 20-20-20 for veg and then flowering food

-Alright guys. I'm going to the local Hydro. store to pick up some nutes. They have some FF Grow Big for me, as well as FF tiger bloom and big bloom for later. Now on to the curling leaves. Once my next set of nodes grows out, should i just clip them off, or let them die on their own? By the way guys i'm on Day 12 from sprout.

-- Sup bro, I would tell yuo just like I was told if they are fried past 50 percent then cut them off. Its really early in veg stage and it will produce more nodes right in the place of the old one. Actually I have a sprout that popped the same day yours so I'm going to subscribe to ur grow so I can stay intune. What lights are u running cause we're around the same day and mines is bushy and short but yours is quite taller than mines? Good looking man keep it up!!!!! -------------------------------- Anything I type, post, and comment on: are fictional facts. Everything is false!!!

DONT CUT ANYTHING OF THAT GIRL, she looks fine just be patient.

-Whats up man. I am currently running 2) 26W 6500k daytimes and 1) 23W soft white CFL. They are about an inch and a half away from the plant, and have soda can reflectors on them to intensify the light. I'll post up a picture in a bit. Also did anyone notice my temps. They were at 88.2F!! Is that entirely bad for the plant? I've heard that hot plants have to use some of their energy/water on cooling themselves, therefore growing slower. My temps are between 82 and 89. The temps go higher when i "box in" the plant at night to keep the light from illuminating my windows. I've got a fan in the works, but what temp. range should I shoot for?

-Got a fan today. My temps are consistently at about 79-80F.
