Looking good

I would use a reputable company for my nutes..Such as Fox Farms

everything looks good for now. you'll be better off going forward if you transplant each plant into it's own 3 to 5 gallon pot.

i wish mine looked like that after 3 weeks!

powdaB- where did you get your lights from?

a buddy gave me the 600hps and i ordered the led. what exactly do i get for nutes? anybody have a link for it?

I think this is the best "First" grow I've seen on here in long time.
Your doin something right, keep it going.

whats your growing media?
humidity?
strain?

they look great but would be better off in separate containers (next time). you have the right idea by starting off simple though, great job.

First grow, second post, real lights, no pie pan reflectors, foil or duct tape anywhere...you are off to a great start compared to most.

thanks for the feedback so far. not sure of the strain i got some seeds out of some kush that i bought so i wanted to try growing it. im going to buy some seeds my next grow. im going to put them in (2) 5 gal buckets just not sure when to do it. for humidity i just keeping getting towels wet and hanging them in the closet im surprised how much cooler it gets in there. when should i start topping the plant? when should i start flowering? i want to get a good yield off the plants but dont want to waste my time if there males.

Nobody wants to waste their time, energy, and money only to find out that you've got males.
Getting males in your garden is all part of the game, in the beginning.
The trick is to get one healthy female and to keep it as mother.
Then to just take cuttings off that mom, So you know for sure that every single cutting you clone will be a female as well.

To me, starting from seed is a complete waste of time.
I know that every time I take cuttings off my mother plants, they'll have the same DNA.
I can take a cutting off my mother and have it in flowering in less than a month,
And I know it'll be a female every time.

ya i want to get a known strain before i have a mother plant. how do i know when to start flowering? it looked like they grown another inch last night i had to raise the lights again. i think my next grow its going to be DWC the hydro growth compared to soil is crazy

also topping? should i do it???

you can put it in flower anytime you want. the longer you veg the larger the plant and greater the yield.

and yes, topping is easy and helps increase yield

RE: Topping

This is how I top, works out great every time.

so here is a update on the plants. they got pretty big so i transplanted into big pots. the roots where connected together so some had to get ripped apart. should i get them nutes or just leave them be? any suggestions on to keep them healthy. im go on week 6.

Nice, what size pots did u move them to? id wait at least a week jus to allow them to recover from the shock of the transplant. How tall are they now?

i think they are in 10 gal pots. they are about 6 weeks old and 12-16inch tall right now. is there anything i can help them out when there going into shock from ripping the roots apart?

hey here are some new pics of my first grow. right now they are right at 3weeks of flowering. one plant was a male. any suggestion to help out my yeild? how much do u think ill get?

bumpp any suggestions?
