yo broski if you havent invested in a pH meter and pH up/down you need to now..


Looks like your plants are beginning to suffer.. You will start to notice the effects, if you haven't already noticed the stunted growth.. right about this stage is where it starts to set in

i'm watering with 6.3pH water on 4 TD seedlings.. on the 3rd day now ;)

i'm subbed by the way

i have a PH test kit for my water and ph it to about 6 each time, what we were talking about was a soil PH meter.
the suffering i know is from the base soil i used as i talked with the guys at my hydro store today, and apparently with my soil mix i doubled up on alot of ingredients which caused the burning you see
but they are now beginning to do very well actually just transplanted 4 and watered cuz they were looking droopy,
also all of the dead looking spots on the leaves are contained on just the lower leaves. and only about 4 out of 12 show signs of stress the others are all healthy.

ya teyo i almost just kept these in the red cups to enter the party cup grow contest and just get some dank lil quad plants and what not.
but naw going with the bigger pots vegging for about a week and a half then flipping, also plan on LST'ing them now just so they wont be little single cola plants
night time all,
peace

It's just that this looks like some pH lockout action.. like cal/mag





here is an example of cal/mag deficiency/lockout i pulled from google images



see the similarities

i def see the similarities, i think i might have been ph'ing too low i was aiming for a 6 or so when it looks like 6.3-6.7 is best.
that picture def looks similar to what a few of them are going through.
hey CVC thanks for stoppin by man, ive also heard lots of bad things but so far i can tell i got 1 sativa pheno one indica and one that i cant tell cuz it looks retarded lol.
im just hoping the end smoke lives up to its rep, i dont sell so i dont really care what it cops as long as its dank! lol

for sure if your at 6 you can definitely lock some of them out.. shoot for 6.3-6.8 and gradually raise as the plant nears harvest you will notice the difference in a few days after adjustment :)

Thanks verde! do you think they are too small for me to turn my 1000w on for once transfered into 3 gal pots.
because i have a limited time window and need to flip by the 23rd at the latest, so i wanted to tuyrn the 1000w on to help give them some more vigorous growth than the T5.
thanks man

lol honestly i'm new to the HID game.. but I'm vegging 2 day olds under a 250w MH.

I'd go for it, just make sure it's not too hot/close

I was just told to keep the HID a bit further from seedlings than normal plants, I'm lowering an inch a day as they get stronger

ya i was going to have it very far off them because im goin to lst them a bit before and after flipping and wanna stretch them abit.

give them a taste of the 1000w!!!
lst is my new favorite friend.
im tryna experiment with FIM, whatre ur thoughts on it?

FIM is basically just a way of try to get 4 tops from each time it FIM'd but in my opinion it is not a reliable enough topping method if you do uncle bens 4 top method, then LST the 4 tops in diff directions you can make good sized plants relatively quickly. thats what im doin at least but i only topped a few of them. the rest will just be LST'd
and yes the 1000w gets life tommorrow!

Yeah I like topping too..

I'm topping my tangerine dreams to two tops each, and doing 4.. so 8 main colas in a tiny tent i'm thinking should be sufficient :)

Waiting on my seedlings to take root, and start growing that first set real fat :D

day two over here

well bros they are a little late but here are the new update pics been busy since friday after i got the new HPS went into 12/12 flowering light cycle saturday night and and put the girls on half n half grow/ bloom nutes and changed them over with full strength bloom with 1/4 grow formula nutes today as you can see the natural grow BBG is a full 12"s tall the lst /topped BBg is just hitting 5"s with four tops and the TD is 4"s just producing her 5th internode and i trimmed back the BBG clone today as well so she can go into flowering with just the main top not sure how this is going to work out but gonna hope for a monster top bud so there it is.If we're lucky Mac will have some pics to post today or tommorow for weekly camparison of hydro vs soil strains BBG/TD

PICTURE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry some are before i took the veg light out but my roomie needed it for clones as u can see.
i tied the 4 that i transplanted on friday gunna wait till tommorrow after they get used to it to do the rest.

is it bad that i have the light so high? i have had heat problems in my closet before so im keepin the babies a bit far away till they are bigger, also heard this makes them stretch so since im LST'ing i dont think it will be a problem might just make the nodes try and stretch more. which is a good thing since once i flip i will lower the light as they get stronger.

pics!!







my bbgum is putting out pink leaves!






kinda a weird angle but its the c-13 bent over





the retard ^^^^^^


whew lots of pics.. haha take that margins, i rape you!!!
babies are looking good gunna give them a nice feed tonight after i post.
hope y'all have a good valentines day, me and the girl are going for a record haha
peace and love yall
