Hey everyone, new to the game here and started my first grow about 5 weeks ago after finding a seed in my bag that had started germinating. Im just posting this looking for some insight on how my plant is looking and if i should do anything else to help it out. right now i have 3 23w (100w eq) cfls hanging about 4-5 inches over my plant. i have soil that is a small amount of compost and mostly ffof. i just put it into a 3 gallon pot last Saturday after being in a 1 gallon pot. i have a fan blowing air in my 3'x1.5' cheaply made grow setup and a small 5" fan blowing the top air into my attic. try to keep temps in mid 70's and humidity at 50% and try to water every 4 days or when the top inch and a half of soil is dry. sorry if this is posted in the wrong place and that i still dont get how to put a picture in a post so i put it as my profile picture. any advice would be much appreciated, thank you!

What you need to do Martin6887 is go to the newbie central home page and at the bottom there is a link that says "new thread" click it give a title and describe your problem. What you are doing here is a newbie mistake called hijacking a thread and is discouraged.. You can come back to this thread and post a link to your thread. Happy Growing!

@FirstTry420 You are doing very well, I like your plants.

Both of you (martin6887 and firsttry420) are doing just fine.

@Martin6887 Not every plant gets really huge or lanky. Indicas are known to stay squat and bushy. Big trees need big pots. And lots of room. Anything Sativa dominant will likely fit the latter description.

@FirstTry420 your plant looks fine buddy. Probably could do with a day or two longer between watering. That's the droop from my experience. Don't go bonkers with the feeding if/when you start either. Start slow. Give em a fairly diluted mix. Under 50% concentration.

Keep up the good work though.

I'd pot that baby up to a bigger pot asap... once the leaves reach the edges of the pot you go bigger until you get to your final size... usually 3-5 gallon if indoors.. if you only have one plant and the space bigger is better if you have time and the lumens for your girl.
