Lol do u dry your trim then freeze it or fresh freeze?and have u got one of those that I was lookin at? Cruz don't know whether to just spend the extra pennies and get a proper one?

best off drying the trim then freezing it. better yield that way than fresh frozen. dry ice is where it's at if you want max return from your bud/trim.

i'm going to have a go at some quick was oil today. i reckon if i rinse my drying trays there's probably a gram stuck to them alone.

got to chop a fucking big DOG kush down too, not looking forward to that...

Okay straight to the point , using a 400w HPS at 16 to 20 inches away from plant top , plant is 4 weeks old almost , 6 inches tall nearly , bottom 2 leafs going yellow and dying curling upward , 2 leafs further up with a little brown spot not much but also a bit of yellow on them only 4 leafs are effected with this yellowing , most leafs if not all have a hook pointing down on leaf tips , some stems appear purple in color but was like this from start really with no problems

Temp is 85f with light on , about 78 with light off
Watering every 2 days , pot at the moment is 1 gallon i believe , using 200ml of water every 2 days , 1ml white distilled vinegar to lower PH , Using Still "Highland bottled spring water" , when feeding with nutrients i add 0.5ml of my solution per 500ml , bottle says 1ml per 1 Litre which is "Power Boost Plus Power bloom" ,

PH is about 6.0 to 7.0 not accurate reading using the Test tube kit
Soil is Plant magic plus Organic Grow

Lights on 17 to 19 hours a day darkness for rest ,

Strain is Blue cheese i believe seeds came from friend from donor plant

This is my first ever grow so lacking a little experience

looks good to be honest, back off on your feed or maybe introduce a just water in between feeds, it'll stop the clawing. only other thing is temps that can claw them up. those baby leaves i wouldn't worry too much about, those marks actually look just like you might have spilled the feed on them?

feeding every other day is abit much for a small plant like that try let it dry out a little more get the roots searching and invest in a ph pen apart from that looks alright

Yeh man I remember you tell in me that before matey.and if u use fresh there's more chlorophyll in the leaves so you get greener hash I think.I'm torn between the two dry ice or ice water? I still need to buy bubble bags anyway.I love harvest time apart from the stiff back sore thumb and sticky fingers have fun mate Lol ;-)

I use vinyl gloves now, saves having to scrub my mits with nail varnish remover.

my 2 bob, dry ice you should try once it's easy as pie, loads of fun and a lot less messy, but personally bubble all the way. i haven't used my bho tube for over a year. the end result is way too strong for me, my tolerance is low so i usually flog the hash n honey oil i make for a nice price. no one else sells the good stuff so i make a killing on it.

well off to trim i go. plants a beast too :roll:

Even the proper ones are cheap shit, the sort of thing you see peeps washin their pants in in asia so theres not much tech about em, save a load of work an do a better job than me. Yeah Ive tried dryin it first but then I got to freezing wet trim asap leave it for at least 24h in freezer mine s usually a month or two fore i get round ta makin it then sposed to soak the frozen trim in the ice water so it stops bein brittle (and stops the end product from bein green (still gets ya totally fuked tho). Then I pour it through a 220um bag and make fridge bubble or if I got a fair bit Ill then pass it threw a 70um bag and try for full melt. I dont actually make gumby proper as i dont wanna heat it til i smoke it, an i actually dry it out over a month in the fridge which is why we sumtimes find it there

I know ice is gonna rip me again but fuck it Lol your pH is about right could be a little lower so like yorkie said its a deficiency make sure u get some plant magic magne cal its a must for coco.but I've never used dutch pro so fuck knows mate.I think your right a good flush should help sort the problem then you can start from scratch again
cheers,my postie came and nothing!!,looks like it will be Monday so I still flushed with water with a ph of 4.5 and after measuring runoff it was about 5.5 I know its a little low but when I feed I will feed at a slightly higher ph to even it out would this be ok?and should I wait to feed her or feed today?

I pH down to 5.8-6.3 when I water the run off is normally exactly the same its just a precaution I've already told you lot I'm proper anal when it comes down to this shit ;-)
It needs to be bang on 5.8 in coco/hydro, if you start to get purple lines up your stem then bump it up to 5.9.
Even 1 point higher or lower can cause problems.


like yorkie said its a deficiency
It is but at that that size I'd say the reason is lockout from the PH, not necessarily due to a lack of magnesium in the medium although cal/mag will almost definitely be needed in the future.

4.5 that's low mate but if our run off is 5.5 then I'd just wait till she's dry and feed with a pH about 6.0 -6.5 and u should b looking better after a few days to a week.
And when you feed you should feed with nutes then the next time she thirsty just plain water and again for the next watering then feed nutes again its a good way not to over feed and get deficiencies ;-)
