Sulphur 0.08
Phosphorus 1.80
Magnesium 0.14
Zinc 0.002
Boron 0.004
Molybdenum 0.002
Carbon 0.040

Light wattage 100w led for the time being since vegetative state using 250w on my Afghan

Been giving it lots of sun too. Looking forward to your guy's input :) -OverDose out

There's nothing wrong with those nutrients. If anything less nutrients is more.

I could turn that little plant into a jungle.

  1. Tip#1: Remove the lowest bottom single bladed leaves and add more soil until it's level
    with the pot. Roots will grow along the stem and your plant will be much healthier.

Let me know if you want Tip#2 of what I would do. :tiphat:

I have a better to way to increase branching.

Ok, this may seem harsh but your plant will get bushy if you do this and produces branches faster than ever.

I recommend you cut of 1 pair of leaves only for now. Count from the bottom starting with that single blade
you already took off and take the pair at the the 4th node off. What will happen is that the bud leaves below
will grow into branches real fast. Look at this plant I had this Summer. Notice the little bud leaves above each
fan leaf. Well I cut the pair of fan leaves two nodes higher.

Look at the same plant shortly afterwards. If you take off the pair of fan leaves two nodes higher your
little plant will produce branches real fast. This is the same plant a soon after and look at the branches it made
as a result of light hitting the bud leaves. Normally branches only grow later on. This also cuts down on plant
height will increasing width.

Corky's Leafing Idea

Again, don't cut more than one pair of leaves at a time.


Look how bushy they got after a few trims.

Look at these Jungle pics. :tiphat:

After you take off that one pair of leaves just give your plants at least
a week to recover before doing anything else. In time, random leafings
will create a Jungle plant. Don't overdo it either. Wait until the branches
start growing before doing it again higher up the plant or on the branches.

Enjoy.
