First Grow Help

just wanted to know if i am doing things correct ive posted some pics of it below and a description about it.

Indoor Grow Room
Grown From : Cutting
Strain: Blue Cheese ( do not know correct name lol )
Medium : Soil (coco)
PH : unknown
Temperature : unknown
Light Source : 3 x 600w hps using 1 for veging 3 for flowering

well the plants have been growing for 3 weeks they have been under 24hr a day light no dark apart from one day a week 6 hours off im gonna start flowering in 7 more days so its been a month is this a good idea or should i keep vegging let me know please, also ive been using a 20 litre container with 1 drop of ph down in and 2 caps full of my coco A & coco B which is 50ml and thats all the nutes ive used as of yet any advice on what to use next aswell would be grate becuase im kinda stuck now thanks

Hi. So u dont know the ph of the water your feeding your plants with? This is a major issue.

The plants usually grow to three times their veg height...so it depends on your grow room when u switch from veg to flower...

no but i took a reading at the start with a freind and the water in my area was always around 6.1 so i just left it at that

IMO i don't think you should go from 24/0 to 12/12. might be just me but there should be a gradual decine in light/temp of bulb.

I'm not worring about ph at all. The tap water here comes from the rockies and mineral water is crap, imo. If they can't/don't grow because of something so basic, then i'll give up.

anyone else help me out

Well, just a tip for you right off. You want to have your soil 1" from the top of your pots. That way they have more room for the roots to grow. They may be root bound, but I think your plants are having problems due to your PH being too low. You want the PH to be at 6.5-6.8 for soil. Get a reliable PH meter and always check your water before watering.

If I were you, I would buy the FoxFarm nutrient package, which you can get from HERE. That will help out your plants a great deal. They are suffering from low PH and a lack of nutes. When you feed, be sure to always check the PH because the FF will always lower your PH even further. Start out giving them a 1/4 strength, and work your way up to full strength.

Also, how close are your lights? With a 600w, you want it between 18"-24". You are getting stretching which leads me to believe that they are too far away.

I would not flip them to 12/12 at this point. You will definitely have a low yield if you do. Get the nutes, get your PH squared away and let them recover before switching to 12/12.

ok is that why they are quite a dark green at the moment ill have a go and look into buying thoose nutes argh also though ive just looked in my little book and when we did the test the ph was at like 6.8 and i added 1 cap of ph down so maybe if i do not add the ph down it should be ok then the ph what ya reackon and the lights are about 2-3 foot away from the plants

Definitely get the nutes, your plants are begging for them. Also, if your water is a PH of 6.8 then it is perfectly fine for watering. But remember, when you add nutes to it, it is going to change so you need to measure the PH and more than likely add PH down.

Get your lights closer than 3 feet. That's too far away. You want it to be right on at 2 feet, so measure from the top of the canopy to your lights to get it closer.

ok il do that and post the affects if i get this sorted for today ive got another 7 days before i was going to flower if i get my ph correct and up the amount of nutes by another 15 mll each of what im using now do you think this will work i use about 25 ml of each a and b at the moment so if i up it to about 40ml do you reckon this will solve my problem as i get paid monthly and carnt afford the nutes till the end of the month and ill lower the light also or do you think its worth putting the 2nd light on as the reason it was so high the light is becuase i didnt think it would reach all the plants being lower

Get the nutes when ever you can. It will definitely help your grow out. I really can't comment on the nutes you are using at the moment, because I am not familiar with them. But they don't seem to be doing the job. Go ahead and up the nutes until you can get the FoxFarm nutes. Up them slowly though or you may burn the plants.

I would turn on the second light and keep them both at 2 feet to the top of your canopy. That will really help them get the right amount of light and stop your stretching.

ok thanks for all your guidance ill repost back soon with any changes and that ill try my best to get everything correct as i really want some potent weed im sick and tired of smoking the garbage that comes around thank you midnight
