Question for the people who use the 2 week veg method

During my last grow I filled up a 4x4 square with two huge photo plants in 6" coco cubes, which are about a 1/2 gallon. Small pots are fine if you can give them multiple feedings a day.
Oh nice my first grow I used the fabric pots. Do you recommend those over the tradition homedepot 1gal plastic buckets ?
Reason I chose 1gal pots is my tent is only a 2x2x4 not alot of grow room. Watering often is no issue for me. I’ll have to try a clone ina coco cube next. Thanks for the reply.

I've never used plastic pots, but I hear you want them to be bigger than fabric pots. I wouldn't suggest coco cubes. They are hard to hand water and the coco is usually too compacted. I started buying Canna Coco and nursey pots to make my own. I'm using dutch leech trays as saucers this time, which are around 6" wide. So I'm using the 9x9" pots which are about 5.5" when filled.

I was having a lot of light leaks. it’s my first indoor grow after a lot of reading I found out that my dehumidifier was throwing off a blue and red light when filled and I was also opening the tent during the 12 hour sleeping hours to check on her. I hope I have corrected this it’s been like 2 days since corrected. Almost 2 weeks on the 29th. Long stretch ? Like take long to grow. Or she’s going to stretch out and get bigger ? Thanks for the tips I’ll order some bamboo sticks. I have a net higher up I will
Move down when buds start to form.
Just a fyi I’m running 600watts led vizosun.
They should be getting taller at a faster rate at this point.. I don't see flowers forming up top, so I'm assuming you have more stretch ahead. Just means they will get taller. I would also limit the visits during lights out time, esspecially in flower. I would count flower starting time when pistils start to huddle up in the bud sites. (However that's just how I look at it, not everyone does the same)
I have to be honest by saying they look hungry.. been wanting to ask you what you feed, how much of the recommended dose on the label do you give & how often?

Ok, Thank you for the advice. I’ll wait till I’m more experience to try the nursery bags. Looks similar to my fabric pot but it was a 5gal and I grew her outside. Nice buds.

I think trimming the fan leaves twice within a week probably didn’t help her growth. Ok taller is good. Definitely going to stop looking at her while she sleeps. I’ve read people don’t start flower till 5 days after setting the lights to 12/12. But I’ll write down the day it grows pistols. I have a notes with all the dates of plant,water veg etc.
My first indoor grow I’m using BioCanna Bio Flores. I only started to feed her nuts 2 weeks ago when I started flower. I only use maybe 1-3 mg per gallon. Not sure what I’m suppose to give her but I’m gradually moving her up on mgs I feed her nuts every other water. And I’ve been ph balancing since day 1.

I'd hit their website. I just checked, and it & looks like it should help. You may be under feeding.. which is why growth may be a little slowed down... but a lot of other variables come into play as well. Environment, light intensity at the canopy, leaf temps, root health and more. Growing isn't so easy at first.. but you're documenting & that's a good thing to fall back on "Notes" You can find the most experienced answers to a lot of questions within the threads here on RIU. Type out the issues in the search tab, and you will see the threads related to that. Lots of guys may come give you shit if they have to tell you something they helped out with in a thread here back in 2011 lol I've been growing a little over a year, and I think I've come pretty far from where I started.. check out my progress up until before I started my current run. I have threads on my 3rd & current run linked below the pics if you want to check em out.

Here's my 1st plant... as you can see.. no leaves.. I burned all the fan leaves & it was good for nothing but hash... even that tasted like boof lol

I’ll check the site out for sure. I think for environment I got it down. Normally while lights on 75-80 degrees humidity is under 50s. It’s fresh this time of year so everything should be dialed in. I have the light at the top of the tent so 4ft. It’s at 80% to max watts 600 led. I’ve read people wait to give it that 20% in the last weeks of flower.
damn man your plants looking delicious . What lights are you running and nuts ? 24/0 veg or 18/6

this was my first grow. Half outdoor half indoor. Was running some cheap bulb on her but I got over an ounce . Do you recommend the mesh pots I see you use them. 5gal ? I think that’s the same mesh pots I have stashed in my garage. Man your plants where okay in your tent? I feel like I could only fit 1 5gal in my tent 2 but all squished.
