Hey guys whats up. First grower here. Eastern Standard Time

I have two, five gallon buckets filled with miracle grow and covered with dried blood

I took these pictures tonight. It looks like the bigger plants is dropping a little. From my reading this mean it has too much water. Correct?

I only water it about twice a week. But the last two days it has rained like shit, thus droopy leaves.

Pictures taken tonight at 8:30'ish

What are some some good things to produce higher yields. From my reading I've collected that these are good for higher yield

*Fish Emulsion spray.1tablespoon to 1 gallon of water. Correct me if I'm wrong.
* Molasses . 1 teaspoon to 1 gallon of water. \
*Blood Meal
*Dried Blood. ( I have)

Okay, for starters you have to be very careful using fertilizers of any sort when you plant in Miracle Grow. Miracle Grow is full of slow release fertilizers already so adding more to it can really harm your plants. My very first grow was using the same soil and I didn't use any other fertilizers and although my yield was not huge the buds turned out great. After the plants are 6-8 weeks old and had a chance to eat up the nutes in the soil you can think about adding something else.

Did you start from seeds? You always want to start your plants in very small containers to allow them to establish their roots and use up all the water in the container. Starting them in 5 gallon buckets is dooming them to sit in soggy, wet soil pretty much forever. They will probably grow very slowly.

Are you planning on growing outdoors the whole time? What state do you live in?

Growing outdoors requires planting and the exact right time of year depending on where you live. If you are in a northern state you usually need to plant in May/June for an October harvest. Seeding now for outdoor is usually not a good idea.

Northern Lights seems to be very forgiving and will do just fine for you on very light feedings of Nutes.

Take your time with her and always remember patients is the key to success in the grow world. Give her Plenty of TLC and less nutes

until you have more exp under your belt and it will save you many headaches.

Thanks a lot for your response. Im couning down the days all summer long till i can pick those buds in the fall. Fall will be here soon but I want to make sure I can do everything correct to get the highest yield possible. Plus I just started plantin 10 other seeds. and will have those pictures up and running in about a week. 5 Jacks Super Lemon Haze by G13 labs and 5 Sour Candy from g13 labs. What do you think about my plants so far after 17 days
