CFL Hydro Rubbermaid Grow Journal: Attitude Special

Ouch, hope the chronic gets better, otherwise they're looking great for 20 days in! This journal is kind of helping me along, since I started some plants 10 days ago and they're looking about the same size yours were at the time. The difference is I'm growing in soil, so I don't know if that makes for slower growth or not. I may be transporting them into a grow box tonight to save on cubic feet and stealth it up a bit more. I'll be watching this journal, though.

Best of luck!

Thanks a lot man. I've been out of the house for a couple days, but from what I hear they are looking great. little worried about the chronic we will see. I'll definitely check out your plants!

Pic 0001 is the chronic just after trimming the dead leaves. pic 0003 is of some of the affected leaves and pic 0004 is of the top of the plant.

Anyone got any ideas on what's wrong with it? The problem comes and goes and isn't really affecting the other plants. In fact, the White Widow in the other pics is dominating and is by far the most dense plant I've ever seen. It is also running on the same same hydro tank and in the same chamber right beside the chronic. The White berry is not far behind the WW as well.

Every morning i check the pH and it has drifted up to sometimes as high as 7.5. I add acetic acid till its down around 5.5 and let it go but by that night or the next morning it's back up to 7.0. The nutrient is kinda cloudy and the pH will not stay put. I assume this is either causing the problem with the Chronic or is another symptom of a bigger problem.

Once again, any help would be greatly appreciated.

If the ph keeps going up it might be the nutrients are too alkaline. What brand are you using?

Just flipped to 12/12. The chronic looks rough, but the PH issues are under control I believe.

Yo man ur plants look sweet, i love how small and bushy they are.

haha, the chronic stretched a bit due to the stress, whiteberry is about mid sized, but christ - the WW is SO dense. Most ridic looking plant I've ever seen.

I started LST on the chronic and the WB... hopefully the chronic makes a full recovery and we get some bud!

I got my fingers crossed for ya. My plants are pretty traumatized right meow. I've started up a new seed so hopefully she won't have it as rough as my first two kids.

I'll take some pics at some point. They do look really good though.

looks like things are coming along well man.
Keep it up

Heres some pics.

omg dude i like how these are looking they are sooo bushy gotta love the bubbleponics

yah, pretty good size for 13 nodes (if I didnt miss any)

Not bad at all. They look like they might be experiencing a little burning/nute deficiency. What nutes are you feeding them and how much?

they definitly got a tad burned. Feeding FF Tiger bloom. Roomie misread the label when we started adding TB on top of the BB. We switched the res, and put the right nute concentrations in.

They have put on 3 nodes since those pics were taken. post res change.

oh, and let me add, most of that burn is on the chronic, and was pre existing due to PH issues.

Ah, I see. I'll be picking up some BB and TB soon to use on my mini-plants. I've almost completely giving up on them getting any bigger than a lighter.

oh, forgot to say.

Confirmed females on all 3 plants. The chronic and the whiteberry are looking harrier than an 80s porn flick. The white widow is to dense to tell =p.

they are growing at a ridic rate. haha. its pretty awesome. all the little bud sites are fighting for light. haha.

Glad to hear they're doing so good. One of mine is starting to pick up the pace pretty hard now.

hey man lets see an update ! haha
