Water and low nutes doses.
Correct PH helps.
Until your PH meter arrives and you have proper testing methods, youre growing in the dark.
Fluros should be fine as long as there not touching the plant.
I keep my lights as close as possible.
more Light = more grow.
PS THe more you know about basic growing, and using a medium like Coco, the easier this is.
Watch greenhouse seed company youtube vids.
Get to know a specific non complicated way of growing.
Check my threads.
I will have super lemon haze up soon.
I started like you, but fast realised I was wasting a lot of time and effort without proper education into growing.
Confusion makes stress - stress = failure!
For 800 bucks initial investment I crank 2.5 oz per grow in 13 weeks from seed to harvest.
It pays for itself every grow.
Experience is key to gaining knowledge, but use proper knowledge.
Dont think too much, stick to common PH of 6. Low nutes, Water frequently once it takes off. Start from scratch, sex your plant.
Be prepared!
Is there enough light? minumum 250 watts fluro for flower.
Whats your medium?
Do you know whats in it?
If not, how can you grow?
Is there air movement? A fan is better than nothing, danger awaits!
Did you clean the grow environment before moving it in? Danger Awaits!
The more information you have the Easier it is to grow.
The key is to keep growing, till you know it.
Get a seed that you know what its times are, how high it grows etc.
Random seeds give random results.
Again. Weed is EaSY to grow.
Just have to Watch it and know it
People fail to grow, because they either didnt know what they were doing, or they were not there to tend to it when it needed them.
Plants can change overnight in hydro/indoor environments once the difference is in place.
Sorry for the rant, i just wanna pass on some info I've learnt from growing 5 times indoor.
The first two times I failed because I didnt know what I was getting into or doing.
The 3rd time I got educated and still lost because I didnt listen.
the 4th time I finally listened and read and watched, and grew.
Its a vicious circle!
Good luck!
My 2c.
