UCK!!

that was what it looked like exactly one month ago


HERE IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE NOW

I don't even think my plant is pushing 2 inches... I have seen pictures of others and they look ginormous over 1 month. Let me know what you think. My plant has also not had been with PH'd water at the beginning so I think that really slowed the growth. I got a PH meter like 5 days after that first picture. Does she look healthy?

I am using tap water PH downed to 5.8. I am using 1/3 strength BLUE PLANT NUTRIENTS which I had switched from the ORGANIC to the one better suited for hydroponics, due to the fact that I cannot stand the smell of BAT GUANO! My room stunk like shit for like 4 days and was giving me the worst headaches til I said the hell with this shit I dont care about organic. Also when I opened the rez I didn't know if it was root rot smell or the organic nutrients making it smell swampy. But i am guessing it was the organic nutrients because now it doesn't smell bad at all. Is she looking healthy?

fluorescent tubes (4) 2 ft and then i press the switches to switch to the other (2) fluorescents so that i can minimize heat for now.

Dont give up on DWC. It is by far the most productive way to grow.

flip that thing to flower and grow one bud. not even bud on a stick, just a big ass bud sitting on top of the pebbles.

that has to be some of the tightest internode spacing i've seen.

stunted by N toxicity...............

Click to expand...

what caused that? could it have been the organic nutrients, because i think i did put too much at the early stages of its life. do you think i should keep this one and let it grow out or just flower this bitch.

overfeeding early leads to stunting. ironic.....isn't it.......

ima soil-head though, so take it with that in mind. over-watering can stunt also. maybe you need more bubbles.......

I think you should start over. You wont get enough pot from that to cover the light bill.

Mine did just like yours are doing at 1 month mine was the same size as yours i changed my lighting and in 2 weeks they went 4" to 18" and almost just as big around now as they are tall so play around with it a little more it may shoot right up like mine did. Good luck.

If you do decide to start over, why start from scratch? Now seems like a perfect time at trying your hand with cloning. If anything, it's a learning experience.
