The thing is, I keep flushing it and it won't stabilize.. That's why I decided to just transfer everything into bigger pots.. I just repotted those plants into 11 and 16 Liter pots. (hope that helps)..
I also found on the greenhouseseeds website a clip from Arjan growing the White Rhino and he says "This plant can take a considerable amount of nutrients"..
Which makes me now believe it might be a combination of bad soil and a deficiency cause I've been following the Advanced Nutrient Calculator on "Medium feeding"
I think I should raise that up to "moderately heavy feeding" for Flowering and see what happens..


I think this will also be my last soil grow..
I'm going to invest in a aquamist system.
Just saw the "Seemorebuds" DVD and well that system looks ridiculously awesome!
And Hydro is also much easier when it comes to nutrient problems and shit.

Hi guys,
I need some help.
I'm growing a strain I've never grown before and I'm kind of getting nowhere with it.
Right now I just entered day 1 of flowering after 6 weeks of Veg. (pretty long I know).
But my leaves are dying and I tried to bring the plant to full health before entering flowering.
Still my plant isn't doing too well.

Water/Nutrients PH: 6.1
PH soil: 5.4

I thought the leaf issues were due to overfeeding the plant and they were getting burned.
So I lowered the amount of nutrients in the reservoir and the problem in my opinion became worst.. So I flushed the soil gave them 48 hours and restarted the normal routine..
The problem persisted.. Temperature is around 30ºC and RH usually 50%.
Someone told me it's a P deficiency and it still looks like Nutrient burn to me.. but I'm giving them the required amounts.
I'm growing White Rhino's.. and as you can see the tips of the leaves are all yellowing out, slightly fading..
Do any of you believe this is a deficiency or overfeeding?

Btw. I just removed all the lower yellow and dead leaves so it looks way better then it actually is..
But since I started to flower I lolipopped it..

ive been thinking about getting a 250...

what kind of yields can ya get out of one with say an agromax (30% blue woohoo) bulb and maybe a few CFLS

this would be a closet grow with 3x3 floor (some sort of incased box) height shouldent be a issue.

what are temps like, should i invent in the air cooled hood?

probably will be running a perpetual setup with one or two plants in the flower area at a time and my goal would be 5.g per watt so i would be hoping to get more than 125g every harvest.

Saw that but the prices for his gear are high compared to Hemp Depot. I want Pandora's Box for my next grow! Looks like I'll order from HD and my BF LSD from Attitude. Oh well! I think that makes 6 seed companies I've used.

Thanks for the heads up. Maybe that changes my mind. Subcool talked well about it in a post I saw recently. Even provided a link.
