it's pretty earlier on, i planted it on november 2nd - so it's two weeks old, i've currently got it on 24 hrs of light - should i switch to a new lighting system?




i just started using some nutes - but how much should i use? i use foxfarm

this is the spray bottle that i use for watering



and i was wondering if this container size is good enough, or should/when should i transfer it to something bigger?



thanks to all who reply =)

Too early for nutrients. Still seedlings at mo. Leave until approx. 3 weeks old before adding nutrients. Leave your water sitting for a day, make sure it's room temp as cold can shock plant, use less nutrients than stated on bottle (usually about third). Pot size fine for now, but need more soil as grows, then put in larger pots as required. Water all soil, not just centre. Water when soil almost dry, only add nutrients every 3rd watering. Seek advice from a local grow shop if you have one. Good luck.

Laffman is giving you sage advice. By watering all the container it will encourage the roots to spread out to fill their container. I'd personally lay off the nutes until quite a bit later; say about a month unless it is showing a deficiency. Nutrient burn is all too common amongst first time growers. Repot before your plants become root bound. The less times you transplant them, the less stress you'll put your plant through. As a rule of thumb, you want your final container size to be 1 gallon per foot of height. Happy growing!

i would listen to both of theser two... my 2 cents would be 2 things 1.start some more plants to increase the chance to get a female.... 2. go ahead and fill that pot with your plant up til you reach the the little round leaves with your soil mix, your soil is too low, and the plant could be prone to stretch.

oh yeah that pot should be fine for awhile you would be pushin it if you went over 7 weeks in it or just transplant when you have to water everyday... if chose to keep it in that pot you would have too water alot more... and the plant would not get as big.


your light cycle is fine too.
