New Grower 1st time grower Jock Horror Auto w/CFL (Day 17)

[DanteW420]

Hey everyone...newbie grower here. I wasn't going to post my grow here initially, but today I noticed that a couple of the tips on my leaves were pointing straight down. I am not too worried about this, because overall I think she looks healthy, she has good color, she smells really good already, but it did get me thinking that I should still network, not knowing what problems the future may hold.

Anyways, she is 17 days old, her name is Jackie and she enjoys long faux sunny days, and she loves music (especially the Beatles and Sublime)

I have her growing in OF/perlite 4:1, under 4 23w 6500k cfls. I have trio for nutes, and though I have read time and time again to never give your auto nutes in soil the first few weeks, I did give her a 1/16th dose Grow Big on day 11, and it didn't phase her at all, I can't really say that it benefited her either, I really don't know. I just watered her 2 days ago with ph'd water, and plan on giving her an 1/8th dose Grow Big next, unless someone can convince me otherwise.

I forgot to include something in the photo for size comparison, so I will just tell you, she is 4" tall...which brings me to one of my questions:

1) Should my plant be larger at this point? I keep assuming that as long as I am seeing new growth, she must be still be doing well

2) Is the bent leaf in the photo anything I should be worried about?

Anyways, I would appreciate any opinions or thoughts about my grow...I will try to post every few days. I already know I am going to have a few questions come harvest/curing time. Have a great weekend everyone \m/

Thanks for the vote of confidence guys! I think the one thing I see as the biggest hurdle of being a new grower...is finding patience....damn I can't wait to taste lol I have been reading these forums for many months now, and it is amazing how much there is to growing and how many things could possibly turn your crop into crap. I don't know if this has been researched before or if its fact or not, but after all the reading about growing, I have this theory that all the crap weed they sell on the street, was destined to be good weed at one time...but someone screwed up. Anyways....stoned babble aside, just wanted to say thanks....and btw thanks for the welcome as well Fish Juice....it took me a moment to catch the Ringo/Brad reference lol....must have been that 420 second delay

seedfinder.eu is an awesome website for strain info - gives you full genetic family tree

Are the tips droops like curved or are they quite narrow and right angeled? Leaves look lovely and dark green - dont know whether too lovely and dark green compared with the drooped tips could be nitrogen toxicity

Theres too extremes to growing, very laid back or very impatient - finding a good balance in between is good as you dont want those lovely plants to get nute lock

If it was me bro i would hit her with just ph water again see if those tips straighten out - if so then remain feeding on your watering after

copied and pasted from web review:

Jock Horror is Nirvana’s twist on the family of strains that arose around the Jack Herer name. The mother is a Haze 19 x Skunk, a hazey hybrid cross of Holland and California strains. Jock’s father is an old-school Northern Lights, a mostly indica plant taken from a 20-year stable Afghan x Skunk #1 cross whose line was preserved in the marijuana mecca of America’s Pacific northwest.

This strain plays with a composition familiar to the Jack strains that began when Sensi’s multi-haze-skunk cross adopted the name of the legendary hemp activist. However, Jock Horror is its own original strain derived from the breeding work and the genetics collection of the Nirvana team. In this interpretation, Nirvana combines a sativa haze, hybrid Skunk, and indica Northern Lights in a three-way cross that is mostly sativa. Jock Horror is a stable strain that has become a classic offering from Nirvana since it was first introduced in the mid-1980s and remains a tried-and-true favorite among Nirvana’s breeding team.

The Jock Horror plant forms a traditional pine tree with medium-thin leaves and dense buds that cascade into extended calyxes, arching in a long cylinder of goodness. Nirvana recommends growing Jock Horror in soil with organics for the best flavors. Sea of green setups are good for Jack Horror because it does not branch very much, and the branches it does form are long. Jock really likes conditions to be reliable in the grow room., but is not as difficult as other connoisseur sativas, and not as bland as more commercial strains. This strain really smells up the garden, gaining two-thirds of its total height during flowering. Outdoors, this variety finishes at the end of October. it can reach monstrous heights of 9-10 feet (3 meters).

Jock buds at finish are frosty and tight. The calyxes often form horn-shaped ends as they pile on the tips of the colas. This strain may be a jock, bout on finish the smell is fresh and inviting. The taste is floral with a tangy sweet-sour haze edge. Jock Horror offers a classic sativa high, powerful and visual with a nice endurance. It is a good strain for going out dancing, enjoying time with friends, or just making something dull more tolerable and possibly entertaining.
