hey everyone, so i'm growing auto northern lights. i am using 2, 42w cfls and a 13w cfl. I am about a month in. the leaves are starting to appear droppy and shouldnt it be taller? i know NL is a short strain but still... this is my first grow. Here are some pictures.

Thanks

Brother were in the same boat, im growing NL w/ CFL's. The plant is now starting to droop and the plant is short as fuck, and grew very bushy so bushy i had to go in there and thin it out so my new growth was getting enough light! From what i have learned droops are based on usual water, over watering or under watering!

If you wait until your soil is almost completely dry before you water, your plants will grow 2x better. Keeping the soil wet all the time will steer you down a dead end road.

I was in the same boat as well a couple months ago, and I bought one of those cheap soil meters on ebay for $5 shipped to tell you how wet your soil is. Thing works awesome and it has helped me a lot.

color looks about right it looks somewhat happy to me . I don't see anything to stress out about for sure . maybe a little more food but not much . back off on the water and see if it gets a little more erect .leafs should flatten out a little with less water .

i've used MG bloom booster on a grow. it's just an all around fert with a lil extra P. really any balanced fertilizer will do fine. and i like sugar daddy. keep it simple. oh...and epsom salts. cannabis are magnesium whores.
