Hey everyone, whatsup?
I have been doing a CFL grow for a couple months now. Harvested a bagseed already tat turned out pretty nice, albeit small.
I have a Greenhouse Big Bang that i put to sprout June 1st. it did good at first, then i dropped it, it got a bit stunted for about 2 weeks lol then recovered nicely.
This particular Pheno of the Big Bang is VERY VERY bushy. The leaves each have 13 fingers. The plant seems to have some issues using the nutes i give it. It always looks deficient. I started PHing the water to 6.6 about 3 weeks ago when it looked very nitrogen deficient. It seemed to work, the growth took off and it greened back up. It drinks like a mother#$%^!. I feed it General Organics BioThrive Grow. it gets full strength dose now. It is still growing very good, but looking deficient again. I am putting it into flower tomorrow. Any Advice before i flower it? I have the General Organice BioThrive Bloom fert as well.
I may just switch to advanced nutrients, i have a feeling the problem may be with the fertilizer. The plant is supposed to be easy to grow and seems VERY touchy when it comes to nutes and PH levels.
I am also growing a Nirvana Northern Lights. It is a perfect plant. Easy to grow, nice looking, bushy, yet airy at the same time. Growing nicely now. Has a slight bit of nitrogen deficieny, dont think i need to worry about it, i think again from this General Organics BioThrive Grow. I am not impressed with the nutrient line of General Organics.(although it works nice on my tomatoes). I PH the NL water t0 6.6 approx as well.

Ive never grown either of these strains before. How much stretch should i expect from them? I keep 40 000 Lumens of CFL about 4 inches from the top of the plants.

Also any advice before i flower these 2 would be helpful.

Both plants are in a Pro-mix/Perlite/Worm casting mixture, in fabric air prune bags. 2 fans run in the room, as well as CO2 from yeast. Temps about 75-80F and RH is usually 50-60%. Plants are on 24 hour light.
Heres are some pics. Both plants are 11 inches tall. NL is 14 inches across, big bang is 18 inches across.

Keep fighting the good fight....peace:peace:
