How come the lack of pics B? Just slow yourself down and breathe budski :o Think things over carefully....now....are you sure it's heat your dealing with? Could you be over watering maybe? Are they dried out when your watering or are you trying to keep the soil moist?

I have to figure out how to keep my closet cool in the summer too....very small portable ac unit with built in thermostat and remote would be a pretty sweet place to start. Is it humid in the summer where your at?

I'm sure things will be fine.. You'll figure it out :smile:

Boy did I enjoy the pic of your first...lol! It just warmed my heart :smile:

Not sure if it's over water. Root bind. Or underwatering due to the fact that they had so many roots and so little place to get water from so I opened them up watered them one more time and I'm gonna let her dry out pretty good and do it all over again. Well the watering part lol!!

3 women in the Love Chamber Bumps!!! Uh Oh....wonder which one of us is going to be the "bitch"???

Somebody is territorial. WoW. I mean.. I didn't want to be the one to say it... but... I GOT A PUPPY! It's pretty cool! I'll post pics of him later. I don't want to take pics unless she looks good and there is something to show. I'm gonna wait for her to get used to her new pot and get at the right moisture level and badaboom badabing, I'm gonna take pictures of my dog and my plants and my clones and everything its gonna be awesome!

So I found this crate stuff and it's pretty much 3x3 so it fits in my tents perfect. I cut some 2" blocks off of a 2x2 and made the 4 corners and a center support. I put the drip pans underneath the plant and allow the roots to grow through effectively air pruning off of the bottom of the plant too. I want maximum root ball in minimum space.

Well I've been avoiding taking pictures because my plant looks like poop. I transplanted I let it dry out I let it be wet I've tried most all that I can think of. My water going in is at about 6.8-7.0 the runoff was... wait for it... 4.6 WTF?!

I'm following this recipe:

the super soil recipe was great, but i have ran this modified version a few cycles now and am much happier with the results. the herbs smell, flavor, crystal content, and stickiness are unbeatable. i will list the recipe, and then explain what i changed and my reasoning. i do a quarter batch from the original recipe.

2 large bags roots natural and organic soil
15 pounds Earth Worm Castings
420g fish bone meal (down to earth 3-16-0)
420g bat guano (happy frog 0-5-0)
420g blood meal (down to earth 12-0-0)
80g potassium sulfate (0-0-50)

200g ancient forest alaska humus (general organics)
200g xtreme mycorrhizal granules
200g azomite

100g sea kelp (algamin 1-0-2)
70g dolomite lime (30% cal 3% mg or 75/12)
50g alfalfa meal (down to earth 2.5-1-1)

20g humic acid powder (down to earth)
8g Epsom salt

i do 420 grams instead of 560 (1.25 pounds) because i felt the original mix was too strong, and it did leave some residual BEFORE curing. lowering down too 420g removed that fixing the problem.. the plants have a very very light beginning of a color fade on a day 63 chop.

the potassium sulfate is obviously to give the soil a (what i feel was needed) potassium boost. sulfer is also a flavor enhancer.

the alaska humus has a very large diversity of microbial life that it adds to the soil, and it also acts as a ph buffer keeping your ph around 7.

xtreme mycorrhizal granules i have used in the past and had great results, so i figure adding some into the soil mix is beneficial.

i use more azomite because in my opinion from past experiences azomite and mycorrhizal combo have drastically improved yields and plant vigor.

sea kelp is also for diversity of bacteria being added to the soil, everyone knows the benefit if seaweed/kelp in cannabis, plus it also is a small K boost.

alfalfa meal i added because of the growth hormone triacontanol basically as long as u arent giving too much of it (which can delay flowering) its just a natural steroid for the plant basically.

during flowering i use this schedule to feed the plant:
STRAIGHT TAP WATER (i have gone thru the trouble of filling gallon jugs thru the water filter at a very slow pace and the results are very very similiar.. so i dont take the time to use dechlorinated water anymore.. its my understanding anyway that the chlorine content in water is no where near enough to kill the bacteria in soil. it would have to be at the strength of pool water, which my water is not, im sure somewhere somebodys is though)

my plants are in 7gal pots, i give em 2 gallons of water as soon as the saucer below is dry. and when i do additives, i give it once a week, on the 2nd jug per plant.

here is my flower feed schedule:

5ml liquid karma (day 1-day 14)
10ml liquid karma (21-49)
2tbsp sucanat (day1-14)
3tbsp sucanat (21-42)
4tbsp sucanat (49+)
5ml hygrozyme (1-49)

i started just water only when i first started with super soil.. experimented with things here and there.. the things i found most beneficial were definitely liquid karma, and the sucanat.. hygrozyme is good, but if u need to go without something, keep the lk and sucanat and dump the hygrozyme.

i pull very well.. no less than 4oz a plant (4 plants under a 1k) on the low yielders (grandaddy) and easily double on a high yielder. the gdp turns purple no matter what the temperature is, because its just the right amount of nutrients to where it starts fading at the end of flower.

The green is what I've fed them a couple times... I haven't PHd my water with that stuff in it but yea... I will have to do that.

And besides some nute burn on the veg, I don't see what you were so ashamed of. =)

They look fucked up to me. My runoff PH is 4.5?! Just an update. I've been talking about it for a while... I'm also very paranoid when it comes to this shit.

Don't worry about runoff. Worry about water going in.

dont worry about either just worry about what the actual PH of the soil it.....get your soil tested....all else is just guess work...

obviously if you are watering with a PHed water of 7.0 and the runoff is 4.5 then there is something going on. try using some dol lime to stabalize a nuetral PH. just dont use too much because it can raise the PH to levels that are not desirable.

They look primo to me bro and the runoff I wouldn, t worry to much as the soil acts as a buffer and removes some of the thingsthat keeps your PH at a certain level but if you are the worried yea just check your soil PH they look a little over watered I would not put them on a schedule for watering only as needed but I think you fine bro truly.

Here is my latest clone. It's the top off of the vegging plant I want to see if I can get it to take root. I think I can. What is the brown stuff on the stems of the leaves a little on the main stem and a little on the baby growth? I think it's fungi but I hope not. What do you all think? I also am germinating 5 Spacebomb. Gotta get some variety in there.



These are the pictures with the brown stuff. What is this brown stuff?!
