hello all, this is my first grow and I just started growing one PPP plant in my closet under two 45w CFL cool white bulbs (planted the seed two weeks ago). It was in a smaller pot to begin with and when I transfered it to the big one I kinda fucked up and mangled some roots. It has still been growing but a little bit slower than before, I understand I probably slowed it down and put it in a bit of shock when transfering it. It is 2 1/4" tall now, I have kept the light nice and close so it doesn't stretch out and there is now 4 sets of nodes(branches) on it and the 5th is just growing now. I just wanna know what people think about how she looks?(Does she look good for her age?) Thanks a lot and any input would be appreciated.

when r u going to change to the mh?
i think it looks nice for 2 weeks
I'm not too sure, this is my first time growing so I am kinda playing it by ear...I was thinking I wanted to veg it under these 2 x 45w cfl's for a while so I can have the light nice and close so the internode spacing is minimal. I was thinking maybe week 3 or 4 I would throw it under MH or once I got a good branch count going. I just don't wanna throw it under the MH and have the internode spacing stretch out too much...don't get me wrong, I want this plant to be tall...but I also want it to be nice and bushy.

I think she looks good bro. Rep+ PPP is the shit!

Some questions...what light cycle are you using? 24/0, 18/6, 20/4?

Have you started givin it any nutes yet? I would wait another week or so...havbe you thought about this yet?

What kind of soil are you using? What about water, what's she (hopefully) drinking? Well get back to me but looks good so far!

I started with 24/0 lighting but it is now been switched to 18/6

I have only gave it seaweed fertilizer but just as a foliar spray (just started yesterday), my seaweed fert is only 0.1 - 0.1 - 0.5 so I gotta eventually get a fertilizer higher in nitrogen to accompany it for vegging.

I am using 80% pro mix potting soil and 20% worm castings, and as for water I use distilled. I was thinking about getting a nice big rubbermaid container so I can put tap water in it to let the air evparote all the chorine and chemicals.

I'm in a small town in Ontario, probably the closest place I can get it from is bustan.ca, its an online toronto hydro store. I don't know what the shipping costs would be like though. I wanna stay organic though, I heard that seabird quano or fish emulsion works great as fertilizers during vegging but I do not know if my local nurseries carry it. I was thinking about just going to the nursery and asking them about organic fertilizers ad what they carry, get their opinions.

well even if u wanted to use the MH now u still can use the cfl's with it wont hurt it MH are good for vegging too
just have it away form the plant not too close as long as it dont burn ur hand when u put it between them ur ok
and u should get some perlite in that soil mix too helps with the drainage and air to get to it
