    • ok so i had a seedling that was left in the sun in a multi purpose soil and given plain water and now I'm 7 weeks into the veg.
      around the 4th week i introduced 1 23w cfl 2700k (100w equiv) and still only gave it plain water.
      at 6 weeks i re-potted into a larger pot as the root system needed more room.
      I'm at the end of the 7th week she is 15" tall and in very good condition again only plain water has been given but now I've introduced a second 23w cfl 2700k (been in there for 2 of the last day of week 7) and she is nearly mature enough to start the flowering process and to be switch over to 12/12 lighting.
      NOW the problem i have is the fact ive used nothing but water no nutes at all and she's doing fine, now I'm nearing the flowering stage I'm not sure whether to start using bloom nutes etc or not due to the plant growing so well with no nutes what so ever. so i need help of if to use anything and if so what??
      im still amazed by the fact its grow this well with just water and 1 23w cfl from week 4 to 7

you know why your plant is so tall right...... you only using 1 23w CFL that not enough so the plant strected. you should add more lights so it grew short and nodes are tight. you need at least 4 23w CFL minimum. Add 4 up top and 1 hanging on all 4 sides. so total of 8 cfl so you get 184watts together...

Correct...also as for bloom, you have to use bloom nutes or your plant will suffer when she starts to flower. She will still flower but you won't be happy when she finishes, you are in essence starving her from the essential nutrients that she needs. She will be majorly stressed by week 2.5 to 3 of flower. Also if the soil she started in was already fortified she #1. had enough nutrients to carry her through week 6 of veg in the first place #2. Probably needed some cal-mg supplement because starter soils normally don't supply marijuana with the correct total nutes. Do yourself a favor and READ. (Not trying to be an asshole)
