New Grower Slow Growth but Healthy

[dex]

Dex, Wow, just WOW!!! Man, I'm soooo jealous, and sooo going to the grow shop, I'm done with T5's, maybe just for germ/sprout only? Are your girls in 5L containers? and did you do a SOG or is that literally just one girl?

Hi EG , theres 5 in that tent mate 20lts x 4 and a 15lt pot as well but this is far to much for my tent as its quite small bro the number of plants depends on the size of your groom mate for example if you had a 1.2m x 1.2m tent and 2m tall you would get away with 4 x 20lt pots

but what i would say is think what you want and run it bye the guys here as we've all made the mistakes your about to make if you know what i mean bro , have a look in my fruit diary or if you want to grow just one big girl look at Viras diary mate or Si's his might be more controlable for you to start out any probs just give me a shout mate :smokebuds:

Thanks dex, so bigger containers seem to really be best? I'm kinda lucky I guess, I have an 8x10 grow room, not quite finished for the girls, that's why the light issue, I got ahead of myself, started the little ladies and wasn't ready to, I know, that was dumb! Once it's done I'll go get the HPS and bigger pots. I'll check out your your dairy, thanks.
Do you go by a feeding/nute schedule or just wait until the girls seem like they're hungry? I'm doing the every other water/nute thing, seems ok, but I wonder about the growth issue, and if that's one other element I need to get serious about?

Hey man I used to feed my ladies water every other feeding but they seemed to suffer when I did that so no I feed my babies every other day at almost full strength. As far as when to start feed it depends on your soil. For example the soils I've used are sunshine advanced mix #4 and promix bx they both recommend to start feeding after about a week in the soil I start feeding mine after about 10 days usually and I give them 1/8 strength and then slowly increase the amount with every feed
