Hi, This is my first post since registering. It's also my fists attempt at growing. Hope you guys can help this newb.
I'm not really sure if its a problem or I'm just getting impatient but my main cola on one plant just looks weird and stretchy. Kinda like a foxtail.
I've been 12/12 from seed and I'm at 4 weeks since showing sex.
Cheap "Stay-green" soil, Miracle grow all purpose food(not a lot, like every 3rd watering).
5 26W CFL's, 3 2700k, 2 6500K in a 2.25 sqft space. about 16 inchies high.
Yeah, gehtto grow all the way. I've probably spent $30-$40 getting this running and I'm not expecting miracles. Just wondering what the problem with this girl is and if maybe I can fix it.
I've got a few guesses.
1) too much nitrogen- the stay-green is a time release and I've given it a few feedings of 15-30-15 MG. so I could see this.
2) not enough light. could be. no money at this point to get more lumens.
3)heat? my temps are pretty steady at 80-83F lights on and about 67-68F lights off. not bad I guess.
I have no PH tester. I bought one for $5 but everything I stick it in reads 7. PoS.
Anyway here's a few pics. Hopefully it will pack on some more nugs in the next 4 weeks. let me know what you guys think. Thanks a bunch.
Should I cut off the buds at the base of the plant?
