Just make sure lights are right distance. look at your plants after they have 3 set of leaves lower that light 12 inches closer if you are at 36 inches. then learn to be able to pick them up and know if you need to add nutes/water. If you water 2 times a week 1 with nutes then 1 with just water. And mist then suckers every day go buy a good pump mister. mist up till they start forming a bud, usually week 3-4 of flip. Learn patience. with how i grow i loose the bottom 1/4 of plant every time they tell me what i need and i add a little more ect.

I think you'll be fine. LOL The XGS seems to be doing me pretty good so far, as well as some others on here.

search the threads for LST. Mainlining. Top Fim and hit google also look at pics ect. this plant will be a mother then when i get my big light its gonna be a tree in flower. i got a 5 gallon bucket ready for her. with air injection soil the posts dont need to be as big. so my 5 gallon will work like a 10 gallon pot for just soil. you will get it.

cool. i am growing 3 plants under 172 actual watts of led and they are loving it in a 2x4 area. and you have more so i would suggest 2-3 plants if they are gonna be bushy.your light is better than my led setup but ill produce some great buds. and the rest is for hash /oil/butter.

Alright here's a new set of pics of the same damn thing as last time.... This is 3 weeks later and I need all of your help. Obviously the damn things aren't growing. There's new growth, yes, but at this rate I'll be another decade older at harvest.

One is barely growing but still looks healthy.
One looks like shit and both tips of two leaves turned brown but it's overcome it and new growth has been seen.

as you can see, here's the details:

  • temp is 70 something now but ranges from 63 or so to 86
  • humidity ranges from 40-70%
  • All I'm using is ladybug Vortex potting soil. (I think it needs better drainage perhaps, soil stays moist to wet for several days)
  • led is at 130w, 24" from tops
  • I've used FF big bloom twice in three weeks at 1/3 strength. The rest is regular tap water twice a week. My water here wherever I am has no chlorine in it, ph's at 6.5. Soil ph seems a bit high at 7-7.5.
  • i transplanted it a few weeks back to these bigger pots if you remember and they stalled during rot growth for a long while.

Like I said, there's new growth... But wtf, there's seriously like nothing happening. I'm not upset, just hoping to learn what's up. It's my first grow and everyone starts somewhere, I'd just love to open my room up and see major improvement at some point.

anyway, let me know what your thoughts are. Shit, they're not dead, but I just expect a lot more growth. One of the little bitches looks terrible, but she was stunted the whole time it seems.
