New Grower am i on track?? advice needed

[Dopey Jim]

Patience is a vertue Jb!
If we could all will our MJ to grow and ripen faster we'd be knee deep in the stuff (Oh God what a wonderful thought), before you know it you'll be thinking "I thought these damn things were standing still and know I've nearly finished me stash"

Lol, thanks for the comments and advice. I appreciate it

I would suggest staying away from the MG products, not very good for growing weed. Locally you should be able to find Better Gro Orchid Plus and Bloom Booster. I know Lowes carries them. I have used them myself in the past and they work well. If you order on line I would suggest Fox Farms Grow Big and Tiger Bloom or General Organics Biothrive line. Both are proven to work well for growing weed.

So I can go with better gro orchid plus and bloom booster ? I'll go to lowes tomorrow n check it out.


Quick question, how many lumens will I need for a box that measures 18" wide, 9" deep, and 42" tall?

 

[Muddy]

Yes, I've done several grows with them and they work very well. They are pretty strong, so go easy with them. Start with 1/4 strength and work up from there. Don't think I ever got much over 1/2 strength. Also, they will require a good flush at the end, otherwise they can leave the smoke tasting a little harsh.

you may find some slow release fertilizer in the MG perlite you used.
around here the only perlite I can find is MG,so I just rinse it through
a screen to get the ferts out.
probly nothing to worry about though,just thought it was worth mentioning.

Thanks roadsidevendor,

I can't complain on the mg just yet. I bought some mg liquid cactus plant food 2-7-7
2% n
7% phos
7% potash
.02% boron
.05% copper
.10% iron
.08% mang
.05% zinc


Says to feed 10 drops per qt of water.
I mixed 2 quarts water with 5-6 drops mg plant food and 1/4 tsp great white myco.
Gave them first feeding at 15 days, just until I had some runoff.

2 days later its day 17 and they seemed to have liked it, or didn't mind it. I have new growth out of the center
And they have enlarged overall I would say. Every new leaves seem to duplicate the last set.
Both are in 32oz cups, one is perfectly uniform with an even distribution of weight
And one is more long on one side than the other side. But both have same # leaves.

Is say they're about 5-6 inches tall, probably 5-7 inches diameter.
I'll take some measurements to give an exact number. Try to pics up soon as well.

Just bought a hydrometer for $9. Reads min/max temps and humidity.

Lights on, fan running in getting min/max 79/89 and min/max rh 23/35

Light level gets up to 90-95 Canopy level 79/89

Am I ok?

 

[roadsidevendor1]

can't wait for some pics of the girls in their home.
I never tried mg but,
I guess if they like it,and that's what you have...grow
with it.
my last grow was in a shed,under t8 lighting, and they
grew like champions..even got a BOM nomination..

the temps might be a little high for my plants liking,
but unless you have a climate controlled enviorment,
all you can do is get as much air moving around in there
as possible and try to aim a fan at the lights to blow some
heat away....

Think I might have over watered. Today they look a little droopy on a few of the bigger leaves. And under certain light they kind of look blotchy. Darker lighter blotches, hard to tell bein so new to this. Lil worried though, fresh growth in center still looks fresh lush. Maybe I'm over analyzing
