What does big bloom do and when to start that.

 

[TheJesus]

Only reason I am a little worried is the soil says it does not have any nutes at all. My plants are getting their first real watering and am wondering if I should throw and molasses or anything in the water. I mixed up 4 ml of big bloom and 1ml of grow big and a few drops of molasses to 1 gallon. watering now.

I do believe that the plant supplies its own nutes for the first bit of growth, some one please correct me if I'm wrong, so don't worry about it but if you already have some molasses I would add it for a little extra boost to the plant

Think this is to close or to far as far as lighting?View attachment 265752

Also thought I would throw in I am controlling humidity in the room via a reef keeper. I have it set up to turn on misting and can also turn on dehumidifier if it gets to bad. If it gets cold in room I can have it turn on a heater as well.

Hm... seems the NL has some curling going on one of the intial leaves. It was like that before too. Dunno if its a mutant or not. Lamp is no where near hot down there. Up until the other day they where still under cfls and it looked this way too.

Hi Jesus ^_^

Looks like you could do with some input, i'll see if i can help.

When should I start dropping nutes in my mix

In soil with no nutes, i would plain water feed for 2 weeks and then start on a light nute schedule (1/4 strength of whats advertised on bottle)

What does big bloom do and when to start that.

It's a flowering nute, you can start to use it when vertical growth stops at about week 7 (you can start it earlier but the plant will finish sooner, not get so big and the yeild will suffer)

I mixed up 4 ml of big bloom and 1ml of grow big and a few drops of molasses to 1 gallon. watering now.

Thats the wrong way round jesus, you really want the grow nutes getting to the plant, not the flowering nutes. It's high N you want at the moment to make her green and tall. The ratio works out at about 1ml per litre which to me seems fine. Just drop the bloom for now and the molasses isnt really needed either yet.

The look a bit small for nutes - keep an eye on your leaf tips - if you see them turn yellow/brown you're probably nute burning them.

Think this is to close or to far as far as lighting?

That looks a bit close for a 400w - that's about the right height for my 250, although i'd still be checking with the back of my hand to see if it's too hot (if your hand burns after a minute of being under there, it's too close.

seems the NL has some curling going on one of the intial leaves. It was like that before too. Dunno if its a mutant or not. Lamp is no where near hot down there.

She might straighten out - i've had some funny looking seedlings that start off wonky and straighten themselves out. Just be careful; with the nutes, PH & heat.

Hope some of this helped a little!

All the best
Blue ^_^

Thanks for the detailed reply. Wondering maybe if they are over watered.

Hard to say - the leafs aren't drooping but slow growth can be down to damping off which (i've never had) but seems to be down to overwatering. If left uncheck will kill a seedling.

Take a look at sweet seeds grow guide here - gives a good indication of how much to water seedlings, when and at what PH.. when to nute etc

very handy!
