Hi all !

Just doing my first grow and my babys are 7 weeks into flowering. I was just wondering how I was doing ?

I know I've not done it as professional as most people but I aim to improve standards the next time.

Sorry for the poo quality pics, they were taken on my phone.













Any idea how long they've got left ?



Thanks

I go away to Amsterdam tomorrow tho and I'm not back until Monday so was just wanting to make sure that wouldn't be to late

its hard with them pics m8 but from what i can see yeah ur doing ok for a first time maybe looking abit small for 7wk in flower n i fink you might have ya lights abit close 1 of them pics them leafs are curling upwards n on the sides inwards i think that a sign of heat stress.

also its a good idea to say what nutes,light,strain etc u are using.

Ye I noticed that aswell. My grow was originally in my attic, but had to move it to the spare room because of wasp attacks :( The first few days I had the light to close but have moved it now.

I think they would be bigger if I had better soil/bigger pots but its all a learning curve for me atm.

The light is a 1000watt HPS, I have 4 crystal and 4 big bud, I'm just using mirical grow nutes, prob not the best I know.

you got a 1000hps and good strains so why ja not bother with pots/soil n nutes lol

it is all a learning curve i agree there m8, if ya gonna continue in soil id recommend getting bio-bizz all-mix soil n bio-bizz nutes with at least 11tr pots for flowering.

whats the npk of them miricle grow nutes?

So hard to tell from the pics, You still have lots of leafs on her so just sit it out and hope the buds carry on swelling, few weeks left yet. Looks like you got a lil bit of heat stress on a few leafs too, but well done on your first grow, she is looking very respectable.

Peace.

Are you running extraction fans?
Whats size pots are you using?


You can only improve, so your second grow will be better.

Pick up so good nutes too,

peace.

Well I've got 10 litre pots and just bought soil which I seen recommended but since then I've learned its not the best, I think I vegged for longer than I would have liked so think the pots my be holding the plants back

NPK stands for Nitrogen (N) Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K). These elements help plants grow in different ways and an understanding of this will help you when choosing the correct fertiliser for a plant or for a stage in the development of a plant.
When you buy a packaged commercial fertiliser you will see an analysis of the NPK content. An equally balanced fertiliser may be described as 5:5:5 - 5% Nitrogen, 5% Phosphorus and 5% Potassium. You may also see Potassium described as Potash.

Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium.

N - P - K

10 litre pots, about 2-3/4 gallons is too small so they will be holding them back i think.

You want to use the rule, 1 gallon per 1 month, so 3 months = 3 gallons.


Peace.
