Ask Us Anything: Sharing Knowledge 420 Style

Hey I am new to growing and also new to this site but posted a thread else we're on here asking for help and two people told me to post here so.. here goes! I have 6 plants in my wardrobe, they are in soil, under a 125 CFL at the mo but I plan on changing to a hps in the next couple of weeks! I have a small fan running but didn't have it on until the last couple of days ! And have just put a tray of water in there today after somebody mentioned about humidity!! I have one plant that is a couple of weeks older than the others but I had her in my window for the first 3 weeks or so and her stem grew really long. Been under light for over a week now and has been doing great until a couple of days ago I went in there and she had fallen over!! Held her up with some cardboard and raised the soil and she is now standing again unaided. Got that fan blowing on them constantly now too. But.. all her leaves are drooping down and a little bit crispy? I have also noticed some yellowing of the leaves!! I literally don't have a clue what I am doing and have never done this before! I didn't realise there was so much to it until joining this site!! So glad I did! I haven't been feeding any nutrients only water although the soil I bought, just from a normal shop has these small green pellets in it?? Not sure what is it though?? And I put some of this grow booster liquid in there the other day witch I bought from the pound shop :/ I thought it would be ok but maybe that's done something? I really don't know! People keep mentioning to me about ph? I have no idea what this means ? I will add a couple of pictures of my plant and set up and would be so greatful for any advice!! Thankyou!! Char x

Thinking of trying a different line of nutrients and supplements for my next grow. Anyone have any experience/opinions with or using Mega Mass? Link To Their Page Here

They're a Canadian Company, very attractive price points and got glowing reviews from the guy at one of the grow stores here in the city.

IMO, nice packaging. Reading all their available literature. Looks a little light on the major nutrients. Requires a heavier dose (5ml per ltr each). Requires Missing link supplement also to complete nutrients. $12 a liter, 4 parts = $48 + buffers $11....?????? Not a fan already.
AN 3 part micro (PH perfect) $38.......?????? Sold!
Maybe I'll call them in the am.

You can add soil all the way up to the first leafs. That will make it grow more roots and cause it to be more sturdy. Maybe feed her some plain water to see if she perks up. Remember nothing happens instantly you have to give her time to heal. Could be shock from falling over but she stretched like that cause lack of light

Need to know exactly what the soil is that you are using, yes the one with the little green pellets in it. Also, what nutrients do you have on hand. We can than try to make an assessment and go from there. K
 
Im guessing the leaves are curling and twisting from water splashing on the leaves. Water drops act like small magnifying glasses burning the leaves. I would be careful adding any nutrients until you know if the green pellets are fertilizer or not. If it is fertilizer its probably time release and will cause problems when you start flowering them.

We've all been there at one point in time, trust me.
There are a lot of great people and resources on this site that are more than happy to help.
That being said, a certain amount of homework needs to be done on your own as well.
I'd suggest Starting by clicking HERE .

Turn your phone on do not disturb, turn off the TV and sit down for a couple hours and go over the basics. It will serve you greatly in the very near future.
