Did you have the lights too close? What makes you think she's progressing slowly? Post a pic!

Thanks Nite...have heard nothing but good things about SK. Which breeder's SK are you running? Mine is from Reserva Privada. Subbed to your thread as well

Pretty damn sure it's not heat. Take a look for yourself.
She's progressing much slower than the last LH I ran, though I started to LST this one last week.

Nice! I'm sure you've heard that they have excellent reviews. Had got mine as a freebie too...then ordered from Attitude and got Reserva Privada Kandy Kush as a freebie so shall try it soon too
. Have sampled the kush already after cutting off some lower branching...it got me high even though it's only 5 weeks into flowering.

LOL, yes I've done that, but not on this tound. I learned my lesson on that before.Have you ever sprayed the plants with water or any kind of liquid while under the lights? Mine looked this way before when I sprayed them without realizing the water allows the lights to burn holes in the plants.
But I don't wanna take up your thread. i have my own thread for the issue . LOL Just sucks, hope she recovers.

Me too! And don't feel like you're taking up the thread...whole point of it is to learn. Helps people know what to look out for. Be sure to let me know if you find out what's wrong! Have you posted in the plant problems forum yet?

Has magnesium defficiency been discussed on your thread, Kidneystoner?
If not, try a quick search for photo's of symptoms - remedies are fairly simple
Epsom salt.Hi Lady J!
Just had to pop over to see what you're up to!
LOVE your closet! And your 'go as you grow' attitude lol
Best piece of advice I can give... and a phrase that I've picked up on RIU;
If you want to know how to grow good weed. The answer is, you've got to keep growing it.
I just wanna ask the most important question here lol
What has your yield been like per plant so far?
With my CFL set up, I was managing avg 1 Oz per plant. At it's peak production, it had 2x 125w red CFL's and a 20w LED panel.

Hey PM me. I may (or may not lol) live in New England too.
Cucumber, I know someone mentioned calcium, but not mag. I've used Epsom salt before for mag.

Am not sure what the yield is like yet because this is my first grow! I'm hoping for at least an ounce but will be satisfied with whatever just because it's the first time lol.

I actually ended growing out HERMS my first time! And what's funny is that I didn't even realise until my mate (a little more experienced than I) came over to see my, 3 months hard work lol.I'm flattered that you like my closet

After scraping off the debris, I ended up with about a quarter Oz. This was from 10 bag seeds planted, reduced to 5 females, reduced to 3 females, reduced to half a single female pmsl
My lessons were learned harshly. But learned.
Let me share with you, quickly, the main lessons that I learned;
Low light = shit yield. Seriously, you couldn't sell it!
Fresh oxygen, always. Or as best as possible.
Gentle air movement is vital for spreading oxygen and heat as well as for strengthening branches.
LST is not as good as Super Cropping! LST can herm your plant if you're over training it. Super Cropping can double your yield
I now try a mixture of both.
Bigger pots = bigger root balls = bigger yields. Go MASSIVE in this area. Seriously.
Less is always more - one big plant scrogged and SC'd will yield more super awesome buds than 6 small plants LST'd.
(I still always keep little taster pots though, if there is any spare 'light-space' I throw a little 3/4 inch pot to flower and a great way to try a new strain before the mother can sprout babies for me. AND a great way to test for gender for reg seeds)
CFL advice;
one single 250w bulb lets out more intensity, than any amount of smaller bulbs adding up to 250w. Make sense?
Well, I bought 2x 125w CFL thinking they would operate as a single 250w but with a much better spread.
LoL and I'm supposed to be a scientist!
No.
What I got was the intensity of 125w worth of lumens, with a wider spread....
So equally, if you had 25x 10w bulbs, they'd only ever offer 10w worth of CFL lumens, no matter how close you put them to your plants.
I plan to keep my one CFL for vegging, in the hope of not being exiled by my CFL buddies lol
btw lady J, I just been looking at your recent pics - sorry don't always have time to read everysingle page lol - and your shit is looking great! A tent too woooo lol and a random pair of legs that, frankly, made me forget about the weed for a moment lol Is that you in your display pic too? (don't answer here if it's secret sshh).
Calcium, what was that for? I have a similar problem too that I'm trying to work out... yellowing leaves at the bottom, and teeny dots... :S

Thanks for taking the time to share with me. Want to soak up any tips you have to offer so I can avoid as many mistakes as possible...so will def keep all of this in mindI actually ended growing out HERMS my first time!

.Had no idea about the light intensity but it does make sense! Noticed the buds really started swelling once I moved from a collection of 40w CFLs to a dual specturm 200w CFL.
I see we will be keeping CFLs around for similar reasons Thanks for the compliment on the plants! LOL and I apologize for the length of the thread...too many people with a lot of time on their hands and interesting things to say are subbed to it. And you know how hard it is to stop talking when you're high

I like this thread. Are we gonna start a new thread to mix all 3 of our 12/12 PE seeds?
Maybe you should start a thread now and we'll get more than the 3 of us!
