New Grower First Time

So I'm watering when the pot feels light and my moisture meter shows in the dry range. I used 1/4gal water that is pH 6.5. I water mostly around the the edge of pot. Here they are 5 days later at day 11 of the grow.

whitlow · Jul 9, 2022

So now I'm seeing some growth at day 15

only watering with pH 6.5 when needed. (Twice a week) I changed my light to 80% and moved it to 24" from plants.

whitlow · Jul 9, 2022

So doing the same watering when needed with pH 6.5. Here is day 18

so far I'm happy!

whitlow · Jul 9, 2022

Day 22 and no changed nothing but watching them grow. I think I'm going to start LST tomorrow.

whitlow · Jul 9, 2022

So day 23 I started LST and clipped the leaves that were touching the ground. I also started adding nutes to my water. Fox Farm Big Bloom 5tsp to 2gals of water. Made sure my pH was 6.5 split the 2gals between the 3 plants.

Here we are all day 26 I'm watering around every 3 days. I'm going to add the Big Bloom 6tsp to 2gals and feed every other watering. Making sure to adjust the pH to 6.5. As you can see they took the LST well and are still doing good. If you look close they have started to flower. So I'll be adding Fox Farm Grow Big at 1tsp with the Big Bloom into 2gals. I will do the nutes every other watering. Now I have the light at 100% 18" from the plants

Now at day 30 I'm now feeding the Big Bloom, Grow Big every other watering I'm having to water every other day

. And they are happy and making me happy. The next feeding I'm going to add Tiger Bloom.

Ok at day 32 I'm changing thing up my watering is going to 3/4gal each time and feeding is now every other watering nutes
Cal-mag 1tsp per 2gal
Big Boom 4tsp per 2gal
Grow Big 1tsp per 2gal

Ok now day 35 watering and feeding are the same but I'm having problems with heat and humidity. 88 degrees and 84% humidity..... So I did defoliation added another fan and a dehumidifier. So far it is helping I hope it doesn't cause problems! The plants are stretching and doing good there are between 24" to 26" tall now. From what the description on the seeds say they should be ready in 60 to 70 days. So there is still plenty time left.

I want to thank all the members who have helped and giving advice to me. One of them said I should go a grow journal. I use the app Mary Jane so I spent all morning do this from all the notes and pictures on my app. I'll keep up once a week now that all is cought up.

Hey bud looking good! Just a suggestion i would stop using grow big since its in the flowering stage. Your going to get nitrogen toxicity. See how dark green your leaves are? They have an over abundance of nitrogen already. Which will slow your flowering process down and your trichome production. I had the same thing happen on my first grow. Keep growing man good job!

THANKS
I was using it because I was following the Fox Farm feeding chart. I thought it needed everything to keep the nutes in balance.

Yea just a thought i came up with but its a way for them to sell more grow big because a lot of people grow in living soil which feeds the plants for first 4 weeks give or take so less grow big is being used. Thats their way of evening out the usage. I could be completely wrong. Lol but i do know N toxicity is very possible it has happened to me and hasnt happened since i stopped using grow big throughout flower.

whitlow · Jul 17, 2022

I think you have something there I've been following the chart because I don't know any better! That's why I'm here looking for all the advice I can get....

JAB · Jul 17, 2022

Once i see signs of flower I give 1st feeding just grow big and big bloom. Second feeding i do 1/2 grow big and 1/2 tiger bloom and big bloom. Third feeding is tiger bloom and big bloom. Done with grow big.
