Hey guys, I'm kind of new to the growing scene, I have 4 kandy kush plants about 2 1/2 weeks old, so far so good but I've seen plants that are bigger that are the same age or even younger, if like some help on the hight of the light, and the size pot I should be using during vegetation and flowering, right now I have a quart size pot, should I go bigger ? This is my set up:

tent - is 8x8 but I only use 4x4
600 watt hps light
flroramicro, gro, bloom, sugar daddy, ph up and down.
i have a fan rotation
2 6" fans one for exhaust and the other for inhale
i need help making co2 cause it's kindah expensive to buy a tank


i also need to know how often to feed them and how often to feed them. Can someone please help?

Once you dial in the nutrients they'll grow faster. Looks like you're having some nutrient problems but i can't see anything under that light. You want to start with a low dose and watch the new growth. Nitrogen deficiency (yellowing lower leaves) is usually the first and most obvious sign of underfeeding in my experience and it shows up fast so that's when you bump up the food. That's how i dial in new nutrients.

Slight over feeding (leaves are darker and paper dry but tips not yet burnt) can really slow things down. With my first grow it took me over 3 months to get the plants to the size i wanted them at for flower, now it takes a little over a month and the leaves are soft and moist throughout.

So it took you 3 months to fully harvest the plants ? Or just to get them to a nice size to start flowering them ?

Some better pictures wpuld be helpful. Something not under your hps. Speaking of which, are you vegging with that hps? It works but that could be part of the reason for slow veg growth.
Also whats the medium your plant is in? That plays a big role in how often you water and how often to feed.
If your light is air cooled you can probably keep it around 12" away. But just for a better light footptint, i would keep
it about 16" - 18" away.

yea hps. What light should I be using ? And I'm not sure what a medium is. I believe that's soil if so, it's fox farm. And il upload some pictures now

If your still vegging you should be using a metal halide. Or some flourescent lights. The light color for veg should be between 6500k-7500k(blueish white). For flower it should be around 2700k-3000k (orange).

Btw, flora series is meant for hydroponic growing.
If it were me, i would look up subcools supersoil recipe. Go buy the ingredients, mix them up, and transplant those plants into larger pots.
