Fellow Growers Unite Here and Help!

Alright im about 1.5 months into vegging, and and my 4 plants are growing under a 250 Mh about 16" away. Temps are 70-80, the temp of the MH light is on 4300K and I have one 6000K flourescent. I have two more 5500K flouros I could use.

My humidity is always way low, I know its not good but I havent researched the effects of it being low. ( 15%-45% )
My lightning schedule is 18-6 right now.

My problem is that my plants are all about 1 ft tall and bushy as shit, its a 1 ft tall plant but with like 25 leaves. and tons of bud sites. Although the majority of the leaves are smaller and hidden under the main big fat leaves receiving alot lower amount of light. I dont like this, I want all my leaves to be getting alot of light. I have only watered with nutes once, and it was 24-14-13. Tonight should be their second nuted watering.

Seeing as the plant is really busshy the lower leaves are hardly getting light. Oh and how much does Ph inbalances throw off grow rate, because I think I am doing everything right, but they are slowly growing.

I wanna start a grow journal but need to get off dial up lmao...

Bend the tip of the plant down and the side branches will grow. You will lst the top of it in a way. I would not fertilize it again. It looks green as can be.

i gota agree with dirtyboy, you should start to bend them to make them bushier, stay away from topping/FIM'ing at this point in the grow.....too much stress for a small effect.
just use some poles or something secured you can use to bend the tops over and bush out the sides, dont go to extreme, just bend enough to dedicate the hormones+light to the lower branches, this way you will still get healthy main kola top growth.


I love the color of those plants, dont fertalize them again for alittle while (a couple waterings...) they have all the nitro they need, other than some very minor mobile nutrient deficiency (the yellowing bottom leaves, this is because you have nice healthy top leaves......dont worry about the yellowing on the bottom.).

Thanks for your guys info. I really appreiate it. I think at first im going to pull the tops about two inches to any direction and hope the little leaves underneath get bigger. Also anyone know the effects of low low humidity? Does it decrease growth alot? I would prefer an answer from experience. But im cool with whatever.

I have grown in low humidity and my plants did well.
