Hola, I'm doing a budget grow with some scotts hyponex soil, its got pearlite, peat moss, worm castings and composted materials. I'm using two 60W L.E.D's at the moment, i want to upgrade but money is something I don't have so I have to find a way to get some stronger lights for flowering.
They've been in soil for about 3 or 4 days, terminated for about five but they got exposed to light and tried to shed the seed instead of growing only roots. I knew I would only have two lights so I planted two of them close to the side so I could use one light for two if I had to....which ended up being the case because the third one has very slow growth at the beginning, so I had to isolate her under her own light.
One ended up being about 3 inches before leaves came out but I used a headless safety pin to pin her down while the stem was still soft to set up for what hopefully could maximize yield but minute required space, I've done this to two and both of those are now sprouting new nodes (small still but noticeable) but I was worried about my light being to close and them not having enough space between nodes.
What I plan to do is to "snake" the main colas across the bottom few inches of the soil in a way that (hopefully) all nodes get light.
Again this is a budget grow, I've budget grown a few times before with 2/4 successes, but still have to hone what all I've learned. I've had to use different fruits and such for different deficiencies in the past so hopefully I can spot them quick.
What do you think about the nodes being too close...is that even possible since they stretch during flower?
