change you light schedule back to Veg mode.
18/6 is good.
this will produce and actually grow quicker.
let it get about a foot+ then change over to 12/12.

whats the NPK ratio on you food? During this stage you want a higher N ( nitrogen) value like 20-10-10(MircGw) or worm casting 20-0-0

you shouldnt have to feed your plant for at least 2-3 weeks.
Your soil should have enough nutes to last you untill then.

easy on watering and over feeding.
Its very easy to do at this stage.

I'm on my first as well so my advise is coming from what id change on my mistakes.

Grow safe and good luck/

Oh and plant 2/3 more seedlings. Man it would suck to grow a month or two and realize your only baby is an un-smokable male.

atleast give yourself a 50/50 chance.
Know what Im saying..? It's like The Tecate w/ no lime or salt , or your last joint turned out to only be a stale cigarette.

either way only leaves you with a headache.
Peace.

Another good idea is do away with the miracle grow, it makes a nasty taste on fruit what ever nute you use do not give nutes until 2 weeks old. And make sure you begin with 1/4 of a teaspoon in the begining and work your way up. If the plant gets nute burns then hold off and flush during next watering. Also, DO NOT WATER with TAP water unless you let it sit over night (24 hours), because the chlorine. Also check your ph in the water, because a flucuation in ph is bad. Try to use a non nutrient soil.

Thanx JOE I Did Switch My Lights To 18/6 Looking Greener And More Leaves Sprouting (That Was Quick). NPK Ratio Well I Dont Know How Do I Figure That Out. N Well I Havent Fed It Food Anymore, So Ima Have To Start On Some More Seedlings Then . OhI Liked The Comment About Tecate My Fav Beer. Lol


PennyWise Now What Should I Feed My Lil Fruit? {Well That I Can Buy At My Local Store's Cause I Dont Have The Time To Wait For The Shipping} Ima Stop Miracle Grow ASAP. Also Can I Leave The Tap Watter Sitting Over Several Nights? Or Does It Have To Be Sitting Just For About 24hrs Then Does It Go Bad?

Statix, you could wait up to two weeks before you feed your baby. We will get into feeding once your there, but if you want to go the cheap route get miracle grow patio this is good in the NPK range. I will be watching over your post daily. You tap water should sit for 24 hours just to get rid of the chlorine, it won't go bad either. it will just evaporate. So your lights are on 18/6 which is good, but if you want faster growth to get into flowering quicker to determine sex, I suggest going to 24 hours of continuas light. Another thing I noticed is your lights are 2700k soft white, these lights are used mainly for flowering, because they are more in the orange/red spectrum. I would definitly run with 6500k daylight these are more in the blue spectrum. which is mainly used for veg. If your going to grow one plant, be prepared to have a 50/50 chance of it being a female and alot of time wasted and dedication wated if your baby turns out to be a male. If I were you I would go with at least 4. This way at least 2 will be female if your lucky which I hope you are (knock on wood). Another thing is you have a fan run a fan on it and put your lights maybe and inch to an inch and a half. If you have any more questions get at me,peace.

The lights are simple, the 6500k will usually say daylight on the sides if you buy them from wollie world. Also I have noticed alot of cfls are color coded. Like the 6500k are usually blue and the 2700k soft white for flowering are red. Check out the pics it shows the red and blue.Remember blue is 6500k daylight (veg) and red is 2700k soft white or cool white (flowering):weed:

There are 2 main stages of a bud plant:

1. vegative stage= seedlings until 1month or 2 depending on the size you want. Most people prefer flowering at 8=18 inches with at least 8 nodes.
2. Floering stage = at this stage you will begin to flower and you be able to sex you plants if you have unfeminised seeds. At this stage your plant will either double or triple in size and buds will form.


For your last questions pics are a must.

So Its All A Matter Of Growth In Inches? To Know When My Plant Is Ready For The Flowering Stage?

Also Attached Are Some Pixs Of My Plant. Not Doing So Good. :wall:

As You Can See The 2 Lower Leafs Im Sure Are Dying They Where The 1st But The Plant Went Threw Some Stress So I'm Sure Those Are No Good.

However The Bigger Newer 1s Are Curling Upwards And Drying At The Tips. Also Looks Like The Growth Was Stunted, And The New Baby Leafs Are Not Wilting But They Are Looking Kinda Purplish.

I Been Looking Up To Try And Find Out Whats Wrong. 1st Thought It Was Copper But My New Leafs Arnt Permanetly Wilting Also I Thought It Could Be Phosphorus But The Phosphorus Said Nothing About The Upward Curling.

If You Need Any More Info Just Ask Me. Thanx For The Help. Thats All The Info I Have For Now.

The lower leaves are dying from over watering and the top leaves are either to close to your light or some type of nute deficience.


Let me know what your growing in and the lights and all that good shit.

Don't water you baby until the top of the soil crusts over and the pot is actually light.. I can tell there is over watering, because the leaves are drooping and the lower ones are yellowing. I really can't see whats wrong with the leaves other than a little curling at the tips whick looks light the lights are drying them out or there is not enough humidity in you grow area.
