Ok i'm a little nervous about posting but here it goes...
I just started growing for the first time and i'm doing good so far, but don't know what to do next. I've been doing allot of homework and reading allot on here as well as other sources from the net.
I have 4 plants, they are 32 days old and have all reached a height of 7" to 9" tall. Three days ago i transferred them from their temporary pots to their permanent homes, 6 gal pots. I'm growing in doors and right now i'm using a 600 WATT MLH bulb to vegetate. i have a 600 WAT HPS bulb for the flowering cycle. I have a whole room dedicated to my growery, good ventilation setup, i keep the temp around 75-80 daytime and 75-70 nighttime. I've been keeping the plants on a 16 daylight, 8 hour night schedule. I try to keep the humidity around 45 to 50% all times.
I keep the light fixture hanging 2.5 feet from the tops of my plants, i haven't determined the Optimal lamp height yet.
I've been watering the plants with distilled water, i don't have a PH testing kit YET but its in the mail. I've read that i should try and maintain between 6.5 to 7 PH in the soil as well as water. before i use the water i let it sit with the cap off of the container, i was told that will help anything i don't want to evaporate off.
I'm still completely lost as to when and how should i FEED my plants? Is this a solution i mix and poor into the soil? Is folair feeding the method i'm looking for? I've been reading about the mixture of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium but am still lost.
Lastly, i'm using Miracle gro soil i bought from wal-mart. The bag advertises it feeds plants for up to 3 months. I don't know if that applies to what im growing or not.
any help here would really be appreciated, I'm growing because i live in an area now where its really hard to find bud and i just don't want to have to deal with anybody anymore for it. I'd rather grow my own in the privacy of my own home for my own use.
