experienced cultivator's opinion appreciated

hey everyone,

this is my first time growing cannabis and i'm soo impressed and lucky to have the helpful advice from the senior members and experienced peoples alike in this forum.

the only concern with my ladies is if they're growing at the right pace.
they're about a month and a half old, eight inches tall and i see 3 nodes or 'levels'

it might have to do with the strain but i've seen other plants yield a lot more leaves.

i might just be paranoid as hell.
in that case, my bad.


thx!

Pics help. Description of the growing conditions help. 8" tall and only 3 internodes = not enough light or it's too far away.

Please post a description of your setup. I think that there is a guide on here somewhere to follow...

oh, sorry.. the pics are in my gallery.
i really do think i need more light though.

i've got only two 50 watt "n:vision" daylight CLF's.
as for humidity.. i spray them with a fine mist of molasses and mineral water and that's pretty much all the moisture they get besides watering.

the medium is simply Miracle Gro organic potting soil for flowers and vegetables.

as for nutes, i laced the soil with Espoma organic "plant-tone" 5-3-3.

i've got an air purifier on..

and that's basically my entire set up heh..

Those bulbs need to be within 2-3 inches of the plant tops to be effective.

The miracle grow organic needs a little perlite to loosen it up.

I don't think that spraying with sugar water will be beneficial to you once you set them to flower - it will attract bad bacteria, mold, fungus etc.

On top of that, once they are established, they don't need all that much humidity; 50% veg, 40% bloom.

Good advice all around.
