Hey, long time lurker on another account but this is my first real post on the site. Im paranoid as hell but I really need a little advice at what I feel to be a crucial time in my plants lives.
Some background on the grow:
400W HPS supplemented with 75W of CFL(side lighting mostly)
Fox farms happy frog soil
No nutes(thus far)
Tap water
3 plants in 5 Gl pots, 5 in 2Gl and a few more in 1Gl, but they are tiny.
Northern Lights grown from seed. 20/4 for 6 weeks, 12/12 3 weeks thus far.
The grow is set up in a 5x4 closet, but has shelves so its slightly smaller in practice. This being my first grow I only planted 3 of my seeds to start. Grew those for 2 weeks, and whien I was convinced I wouldnt kill them I planted 7 more. 3 weeks later I germinated and planted the last 5 seeds.
Out of the first 3, only one turned out to be female, but she turned out to be a monster. 3 weeks into flowering she stands at 37 in with nearly 20 tops.
Much to my elation, the 2nd round of plants turned out 6 girlys. The two best looking(including a very leafy triple node strain that is more of a novelty to me than anything) were transplanted into 5 gallon buckets. Both are now 3ft tall. The other plants in that round were up in 2 gl pots(I know theyre small but 3 weeks into flowering wouldnt it be more determental to transplant???) those plants grew single cola stems because I was to scared to train anything while they were younger. The spears look great though, with a nice little nug forming on top.
Lastly there were the 5 youngest plants. These only vegged for about 2 weeks before I induced flowering. I know you can go 12/12 from seed with sativas, so I figured it wouldnt prove fatal to go ahead(Plus I my closet was getting full with the plants, as I hadnt sexed any of them yet.) Of those last 5 seeds, 4 were female, albeit very much smaller than the other.
So grand total 11 beautiful girls , and at 3 weeks flowering they are making my mouth water.
I have a few old Pics Ill post nowbut they are about a week old. The sun doesnt rise until 9est on my eden, so whenever the beautys wake up ill get you guys some fresh pictures.
OK, now that we are on the same page(I hope) I have a few questions/crys for help.
I know I have done a terrible terrible thing in not giving these plants any food. They have shown N def since seedling, but that was partly due to the shitty shitty walmart soil that I through I could get by with(lurk more eh?) After getting the fox farms the mild N def started to subside. Now I hear that happy frog is more of a empty medium than the other fox farms soils, but it did enough to keep em alive thus far. Now im adding nutes! Hooray! I bought some botnicare pure blend pro(1.5 4 5) which on my VERY meger budget will get me through for just a bit until I can get some more stuff. Anyone know anything about these nutes? Any Low cost recommendations to improve yield/ quality of plants? Anything, advice, questions, whatever. I have talked to no one about these plants, so this is the first feedback im getting ^_^.
Without further adeau, here are 4 pic of my plants as of 1 week ago. Ill get more pictures of the room as well as updated bud porn once the lights come on.
Thanks for your time
