Lil update showing a general condition shot (thick stems baby) and two of my easier to see buds. Switched to 10% veg nutes with high dosages of natural agave and 40% flower nutes. Responded amazingly. Day 5 of flowering.

well, it was a mother to 6 clones, and it's about 8 weeks from germination, i germinated it in soil.

here is a picture if a close up. First fan leaves grow from the main node, then nodes grow from the fan leaves, stipules grow on the the node stalk at the base of each fan leave. Between the new nodal growth and the stipules is where the sexual anatomy comes from. Without having this last...

yeah man, that doesn't look bad. Kinda on auto pilot til it starts needing actual attention. But nothing looks wrong.

This has been the most forgiving experience in humility ever. I have dropped 40 lbs of running, hot lightbulbs on this plant and she recovered like a champ. Had some thermal burns on the lower fan leaves because of it, but she pulled through. Today i spotted my first pistils all over the plant...

the soil may be a good mix dude, but if the bottom is clotting and the top has no moisture retention it's not mixed right. I'm not saying the soil isn't good, but you need to design the soil build for drainage and little water retention. if the lower area is staying went when the surface is...

^^ Pay attention to his suggestions, his plant imo looks alot like yours.

If your lower half isn't drying, then you probably are having root rot issues or other issues in your root zone. I would seriously suggest transplanting it if you think this is occuring.

As you grow you will become familiar with how a plant grows. First you get fan leaves, and stipules, then nodes sprout out of the base of most fan leaves. You won't be able to sex a plant accurately until you see the final stage of growth, the calyxs. These are the sexual anatomy and they...

Yes, HO require different ballasts. They run on completely different wattages.

my concern really is the amount of cramping that would occur, and the effects of that cramping. Heat and electrical fire risk, and light leaks. Having a mother so close to a flowering cycle requires some pretty serious work encasing it. I would never reccommend a 300-300w cfl y the way, cfls...

Plants are phototropic, meaning they grow towards light. When your light is not directly above, the plant leaves can droop or even mutant to position themselves to better receive the light. The issue I would say is your light is not close enough, and not directly overhead. With the light where...

"Shitty light" is the wording i was referring to. And frankly, it was poorly worded. But yes, you made alot of veyr good points, the word "shitty" put him on the defensive though, and he pretty much ignored everything you said because of what appeared to be an insult. You may know plants, but...

He called your lighting shitty because you are using a desktop clip lamp and basic sockets for what looks like 40W cfls, and there doesn't appear to be that many on the two plants you have. His wording was poor, yes, but his point was clear. The balancing on the books is a bad idea, maybe you...

i'm not sure where you are at in your light cycle, but it looks like it should be in veg, i don't even see preflowers. And you said you gave it bloom nutes? Sounds like you're really trying to overdo it man.
