New Grower Feeding Question...

[manimal]

What do you guys think? Little nugs have started to grow. I think it has reached its top height now as I see it growing wider. The top of the plant is also different than previously so I suspect this is the top. There are little purple/white hairs at the very top.

What do you guys think?

No one???

Hi Manimal

Just caught up with your grow.
She's certainly looking a lot happier than last month Still a little on the small side, but the leaves are looking a lot more green and healthy than they did before.

What kind of soil is that? It looks kind of "heavy" - I like to mix a lot of perlite in with the soil to make it light for the roots to easily spread (if you can get a premium non-nuted soil like biobizz light mix or john innes seedling starter, that would help early development)

There's some nice watering guides in the the sweet seeds section. I saw a big devil 2 grow with some good early watering schedule - it's worth checking out as you'll see how little and what they need to begin with.

Once they are established (a few weeks in) i will water by the weight of the pot - when it is super light, i water, when it is heavy i dont. It's the best way really! See how heavy the pot is when it's had a good water (i can barely lift mine!) and then a couple or few days later pick it and feel the difference!

You can see the little yellow tips of the leaves - this is where the nutes have been a little strong for the plant - nothing to worry about, just back them down a little.

If you can check the soil PH, it's probably the most important thing that will determine whether the plant does as well as it can. Healthy soil in the right PH range means healthy root system, means better nutirent uptake which makes bigger better plants.

Here's how to check soil ph (you'll need a PH meter (pen) if you don't have one)

Rough Calculation Guide by GoAuto6:

Here's some good info on ph.....
If your runoff pH is higher than your starting pH, use this equation to determine your soil pH:*
Soil pH = Runoff pH + Difference

If your runoff pH is lower than your starting pH, us this equation:
Soil pH = Runoff pH - Difference.

For example, say your the starting pH of your solution before it goes in is 6.5 and the pH of your runoff is 7.0. The difference is +0.5, so using the above equation:
Soil pH = 7.0 + 0.5*
Soil pH = 7.5

If your starting pH is 6.5 and your runoff is 6.0, your difference is -0.5 and using the above equation:
Soil pH = 6.0 - 0.5
Soil pH = 5.5

If you can keep the soil PH in the range of around 6.5 you should be golden.

Sorry if this is info you already have a handle on, just thought i'd cover the bases in case there's something you've over looked.

Hope this helps a little
All the best

Hey, Blue

Thanks a lot! I really really appreciate your reply! This is my first grow and I have just been using sunlight and randomly estimating on the amount of fertilizer I am using. Secondly, the fact that I stretched it when it was in the seedling stage probably reduced the size of the plant.

I will be posting more pictures up shortly.

How long do you guys think until I can smoke her? And approximately how much of a harvest does it look like I will be getting?
