Hi Everyone,
Well this is my first time growing cannabis but I think its going pretty well. I have no previous experience growing any type of plants but I'm understanding the process for the most part.
Supplies:
400W HPS Light w/ Reflector
4 75-watt soft white fluorescent
Black Gold Organic Potting Soil
FF Grow Big Fertilizer
Environment:
Humidity: Average is 40-50%
Temperature: 73F - 85F
Growing in a closet, using ducts and fans to exhaust and get fresh air in
Day 1:
After germinating, the seeds were placed in half-gallon starter pots. They started growing under 4 75-watt soft white fluourescent lights.
Day 8:
The plants were transplanted to 3-gallon pots. I think that I prematurely transplanted the plants, but oh well.
The biggest issue that I've been having is with watering. Because this is my first time, I'm struggling with figuring out how much to water(volume), and how often. Currently I'm watering them every 3-4 days. I usually just check to see how dry the soil is. The other thing is fertilizer. I've been mixing about 3/4 of what the label on the Grow Big calls for(1tsp/gallon).
My Questions:
When should I use foilar feeding as opposed to just using the fertilizer with the regular waterings?
You can see a root on the biggest plant in the holes on the bottom of the 3-gallon pot, does this matter?
The plant seems to look very droopy. I've read that over-watering or underwatering can cause this. I don't *think* that I've been overwatering(every 3 days roughly), could it be underwatering, or is it lacking nutrients(Do I need to use more food in the water?).
In the picture of the HPS light and the plants, the one that the close-up pictures are of is the back left plant.
So I guess in conclusion, any comments/suggestions on how I am growing, the health of my plants, what I'm using, etc,. would be appreciated.
Thanks guys!
