First Grow - Unknown Genetics - Advice Welcome

Re: First grow, unknown genetics, help is appreciated

Feeding cannabis seedlings with nutrients is like trying to feed new born babies with a gourmet 5 * meal. Don't do it unless you are a sadist.

I found that out the hard way since the growth was going good, cant do much now but tend these plants with extra patience

I spray the top and bottom of the leaves untill water starts to bead. If humidity is low ill spray the tent walls too for a quick boost. Not sure if you already know about the kelvin ratings for cfl but here is a chart i found for someone else just in case.

Oh yeah after the 2 weeks i mist every other day then and start to foliar feed around week 3 to 4.

That's the spirit!

Lol nah they aren't but im treating them as cfls and yes i just hope they dont keep stretching or get light burn, and yea i plan on investing in a 1500w full spectrum led panel and on a grow tent

Your plants will love you and repay you ten fold.

If i have 2 5000k bulbs will chlorophyl still be processed or do i need a 5500k bulb?

 

[Demon42069]

Yeah just not as efficiently. Think people normally use 6500 for veg and 2700 for flower. I would just get as close as you can to 5700 and 2500 to maximize growth. More important for flower too i think since time is limited, veg it will just take longer to get as big as you want and may stetch more.

Ok good to know i got the right flowering bulb already lol and i think its worth mentioning my soft white led says something about showing natural colors, is that another way of saying full spectrum?

?

 

[Demon42069]

Think it means it isnt coated to block the light spectrum it resides in. I dont see the kelvin rating for it, it may be in the middle cool white spectrum

Have you looked up how to properly build a small grow space? Kinda seems like you need some help lol. Don't worry though man when I started my shit was pretty bad. You can build a cool little grow box out of cardboard or if you have a cabinet you arnt using you can also utilize a closet. Or you can spend some money and get a cheap grow tent and some t5s or a cheap 150$ HID lighting system

Its a 2700k bulb so i guess i don't have to worry about it weakening the 5000k bulb

For sure getting a grow tent and better light will make everything better and will make everything go a lot smother. Also don't forget get
Ventilation it is a critical factor to keep everything in check. Also get a hygrometer you can pic one of those up at home depot or Wal-Mart or a hydro store that will tell you humidity and temperature. Its a need for growing anything
