Hi, recently I received a clone after deciding to try and grow on my own. The clone is kushberry, already 4-5 inches tall when I got it. The roots were in rockwool, so I put it in a five gallon bucket with neutral potting soil in my closet, under two flourescent tube lights that are both meant for plant growth. I keep the lights about 3-4 inches above the plant. I water the plant once a week with a nutrient water concoction that I got from the same person who gave me the clone.
It has been 12 days since it was put in my closet, and it's now a little taller than a foot. The plant is very green and looks great, but a few of the leaves on the very top look a little damaged, though they're not wilting or dying. I can't describe the damage really.. I might be able to get a picture or two up.
So anyways I have the lights running on 20 hours of light, 4 hours of dark. I hope I'm doing everything right, I just wanted to see if some experienced people could critique my grow.
I have a few questions,
1. When do I change the light cycle, and what hours do I change it to next?
2. I haven't gotten around to getting a ph kit yet, how badly will this affect my plant if I quickly get one within the next few days and use it?
3. Were the plant growing flourescents the wrong ones to get? Should I have gotten normal flourescent bulbs?
4. Am I watering frequently enough?
Thanks guys! Any help would be amazing. I feel pretty ignorant about this whole process.
