New Grower My very first indoor grow....

If I am correct, I can start nutes at about 2.5 weeks. I have to say adjusting PH in my water is a little more difficult than I thought it'd be. I also have an air pump aerating my water.

Also, If I remember correctly I should be able to tell the sex in 3 to 4 weeks right?

Do you have any pics of your setup? only ones I seen so far is the two of your plants

No not yet. I'll try and get some next week for you all to see.

You'll get the hang of pH after a while, but once you start with nutes you'll have to readjust your ratios again. Fertilizer will usually lower the pH of the water you add it to, and it also can affect how much Up/Down you need to use. It might take 6 drops of pH down to lower regular water 1 point, while it only takes 3 drops to lower ferted water the same amount (or vice versa). That's where having a reliable, fast reading electronic pH meter is a big time saver.

You're growing in OF/HF mixture, which has plenty of nutrients for young plants. I would hold off until 3 weeks unless your plants are growing like crazy and showing signs that they're hungry for more. And even then start with a low dose just to be sure you don't burn them (maybe 1/4 to 1/2 tsp Grow Big). You could probably give them some Big Bloom in week 3 and be OK, but I doubt they need it. You can always give them more food if they need it, but if you burn them young it's hard to recover.

You should start looking for sex any time after two weeks depending on how fast the plant is growing. 4 weeks would be on the long side for a healthy auto to show sex.

Thanks Andy. I have them tiered in Promix with 50/50 OF & HF in my 1 gallon grow smart pot. I will surely need help when and if I get to the sexing of them. I think from what I've read and seen, I can tell males from females, but like I said. I know or don't know just to be dangerous!

so what are the plants that pulled through least theres a ray of light. if there stretching they need to be closer to the light leds are not good at a distance

It's kinda funny. Only one Mi5 seems to be that way, but I have also thought about raising the others closer to my LED. The manufacturer says 10 to 14 inches from the plant. I may be a little over that height.

The other Mi5 and my 2 RRF's seem to be doing very well at this point.

Muddy has his raised to 18"

Ya, I'm not sure what's the best distance. I'll watch them and if the others begin to stretch, I'll lower my LED.

1ft seems like a fair bit for an led i can get closer with my 600hps long as the heats fine but pm t-shirt ninja hes the led expert
