So ..... .hopefully i am not about to make the temps in my box go threw the roof..... they were staying steady @ 82.7 .... they usually stay at 80 - 82.3 ... some times 79

Soooooo

I'm now running 530 Watts of 2700K CFL baaabbbeeee

I figured it wouldn't hurt to put in some lower lighting ..... 2 x 65 Watt CFLs

Wacha guys think?

hopefully this will help all of the lower bud sites and give me thicker fuller budz !!!

I need to get some molasses .. gonna fatten em up a bit these last few weeks.

How long do you guys usually let your plants go?

Thank you everyone for checking out my journal, and thanks to the RIU crew for all of the good advice.... you know who you guys are !

Keep em growing green guys !!!!!

looks great bro. Those extra bulbs will definitely help those buds. Hopefully it won't mess up ur temps. I'm still lovin the pc girls. They look bomb. Most my strains go 8-10 wks but with that being bagseed its a toss up imo bro. Keep up the good work bro.

I figured thats abot how long a typical grow goes... honestly .. my last grows I harvested wayyyyyyyy to soon...... partly because of impatience and partly cause i wrecked my last grow.. i toasted the hell outta them with nutes ....

I'm figuring that sativa dom looking plant i have will go all 10 wks .... it is a very slow grower.... but i keeps pumping out pistols and buds...

Yea they do look sat. heavy. hopefully it won't be a pain in the ass 13 wker. But patience is definitely the key to harvest. As long as they're packin on bud its worth the wait tho. I think it'll be a good harvest for u considering they're in PCs. When do u have to have em done for the grow off?

How far along are the Green? Also when did you feed them last and what did you feed them? You have some sort of Def due to the purple stems of the yellow fan leaves, they could probably use some "N". Dont get me wrong they are looking fabulous my friend and are really fattening up! Those pistils are sick looking too, in a great way! Keep up the good work bro.

I dont have any knowledge of MG or Fish ferts. Is the MG Bloom Boost a supplement? Whats the N-P-K ratio on the MG Bloom Boost and Fish Ferts? Are those the only two things you been feeding them with?

So I am assuming you have to water them every single day? Have you ever tried to feed them every day with nutes? Do you have pH down and a pH tester? I am asking questions so I can try to figure out whats up with the Deficiency. I dont want you to be losing Fan leaves and if you are and they are completely yellow its because the plant is starving for nutes!

If you look at my 1st grow, I had a under feeding problem where my whole plant was yellow. Then I figured out with the help from people here that I wasnt feeding them correctly. How long have they been flowering for Green?

I do have to water every day, I have tried feeding them every day.. kinda burnt them. I do not have ph down .. i do have one of those cheap pool kit ph testers.
Thank you for trying to help me diagnose these ladies.. I would be soo bummed to have come this far and loos em due to improper feeding.

The girls are about 5 weeks now.. I say 5 weeks into flower .. but they showed sign while i was on vacation... so about 5 weeks from sign of flower.

Here are the stats on the MG bloom boost ferts I have been feeding and the Alaska fish ferts you told me to pick up a week or so ago. Yes... sorry to say ( I feel by that question I shoul dbe dooing much more) those are the only two foods I have been feeding them.

I can't thank you enough for the advice BKB !!!!! Got the fish ferts..... gonna flush and feed tonight. I looked at the box while at Lowes that i got my Bloom boost Ferts and they are 15 - 30 - 15 the fish ferts will put me at about 20 N (5 - 1 - 1)...............

Thanks KMK for letting me use your journal as a cry for help !!!!!!

I got the PH test kit..one of those Pool test kits..... the only problem now is.. what do i use to increase and decrease the PH of my water? I'm thinking baking soda to lower it (or make it more basic) and not that i want to increase the PH .... but just in case i do need to ..... what would you guys use !?

Once again .. thanks to the many people who have made the grower i am today !!!! I think of my self still as a noob ( I've got 3 unsuccessful grows under my belt) and this is my 4th grow.. and i have never grown pot like this ever... with each grow I get a little more dialed in on the plants.... maybe the first 3 didn't go so well because I wasn't testing the PH at all... and over nuting to compensate for issues i shouldn't have been using nutes for.

Happy 4th fellas !!!!!!!!

Honky corn ..... gotta give you props for the Lazy LST.... very nice plant ... with very nice nuggs !!!!

My fuck around plant is actually 2 plants..... used to be 5 ...... the rest were males.... they exploded with growth after i cut them down to 2 and poked holes in the cup...... that very noticeable explosion in growth prompted me to poke holes in the other cups... and i was amazed ! I have been using a 2 quart Kool aid pitcher and measured my nutes very carefully.... so i was faced with a delima .... I've never measured out a liquid nute... and not anything like this stinky ass fish emulsion... so i got a 1 gallon milk jug and mixed as recommended on the package for both bloom and fish nutes... mixed it all up.... flushed the 16 Oz cups with 3 - 16 Oz cups of water, and the mix gave me enough to give everyone 2 flush cups of nutes.... hopefully that isn't going to over nute them or anything.... I figure i have been giving them much higher concentrations mixing in a 2 quart kool aid pitcher. so .. here is to a good grow fellas !!!!

You can feed them every single day if you give them a flush....That is why Making It Rain works so damn good!!! You give them a flush and a fresh feeding every time they need water. I have grown in party cups and its so easy to Make It Rain with them, what I use to do is have a 1 gallon of water that was pH'd to 6.0 and that would get me through about 3 consecutive days of flushing and a 1/2 gallon of nute mix to coat each day I made it rain. If I am not making sense I will really break it down for you step by step if needed.

I use a pH drop tester from the pet store, cost about $12.00 Do you live near any hydro stores or anything? Can you get your hands on some pH Down? If not then we can work something out to get you some. Here at the local nursery by my house a bottle of it is only $7.00 and I use 1/4 tsp of it in 1 gallon of tap water and my water comes out to 6.0pH bright yellow on the test kit. PM if you need help with getting some pH down. I am sure there are some Canna-Guyvers here that know what can be used as a substitute for pH down, I tried Lemon juice before and had no success with it. I think vinegar or something like that might work but you need to ask on here if anyone knows a sub for pH down. Anyone?

Tell me how exactly you make your nute mix to feed your girls....example:
My Northern Skunk feeding:
-1 tsp of Grow Big
-1 tsp of Tiger Bloom
-1 Tblsp of Big Bloom
-1 Cal/Mag
Mix into one gallon of tap water and used 1/2 tsp of pH up to get my mix to 6.5pH.

Give me detailed instructions on how you mix your fish ferts and MG Bloom Booster.

I will do everything to try to get you help and get them girls on track!

Peace

No hydro stores in area, I can use white vinegar .. i have some of that.

My typical feeding is ........
I go into the room at night (when I'm off work and the wife has had her attn:)
I pull the ladies into the sinks in my bathroom...... flush with the same size 16 Oz cups (3 times a piece) (tap water, ph tested)
Once i flush i let sit for about 10 - 15 min
I don't really have a PH up or down, but i test my water every time.. and it never really goes above 6.8 ( I know this is a tad high)
I test after i mix my nutes.
I mix my nutes in a 1 gallon milk jug. I mix a little under a table spoon of the MG, and a table spoon of the fish ferst. shake and pour each girl about 2 cups of nute water... flush it on threw
If i put anymore nutes in teh mix it burns the plants real bad.
I let them drain and put them back in the box.

the next day, I just water ... a little bit, no flush.... enough to moisten the soil..... I think i will start flushing and nuteing every day.... I'm just afraid of burning everyone.

Hopefully i covered all of the quesstons.. I'm at work and trying to do to many thigns at once ...lol

Thanks every one for the awesome help !!!! I have done plenty of research on plant issues.. just afraid to diagnose and start trying somethign with out knowing it's gonna work.. or with out a second opinion.

Keep em growing strong and green guys !!!
