my plants are about 2.5 weeks old.
approx 10 cm high
i have 6 plants altogether atm in a 4feet long by 35cm wide and 55cm high.

Lighting is 35watt blue fluro 4 feet in length and a flood light with a 150 watt globe.
i have 2 fans one at each end. one for intake and the other for outake.

ive got some ferts called "multicrop fish emulsion"
I have made up a 10 litres of the solution in a bucket
i was wondering if it is to early for just putting the mixture in a spay bottle and misting the plants once or twice a day.
As this is my 1st grow i dont want to just go doing what i think is best.
any addvice much appreciated
thanks

I start my ferts about 20 days from seed. So you should be just about ready now. Use them at very low concentrations, about 1/4 the normal strength and work your way up. I don't recommend spraying them on the plants directly, but rather add them to your water.

Your big problem though is lights.... you don't have enough for even a small garden. You need to be at about 3000 lumen per square foot as a bare minimum and ideally around 6-7000 for some real buds. In your area, you would want ideally around 25,000 total lumens, a 250w hps should provide that... or being that your grow space is rectangular, 2 - 150w hps's might give you better coverage.

My best advice is, go to home depot and buy some lights man...

Peace,

ok more light
i did have my suspicions there wasnt enough its just what i have now is just stuff i have found about the house so it was free.
i shall definatly look into buying some more effective lights
thanks for your help.

I've had problems with the fish emulsion, I would definetly dilute 1/4 tsp per gallon. Hope it helps.

shubkin

thanks digT
do you reckon you would be able to tell me some of the simptoms your plants suffered using "fish emulsion"
Just so i can keep an eye out.
thanks kids

Leaves dried up and started brown/copper spots that eventually got crisp and died.

That's what over foliar feeding will do.
