This is a good site to help pick Medicare/Supplement/Advantage/Part D plans. Make sure you understand the drug tier programs and pricing if you are taking meds as not all drugs are in the same tier (pricing structure) in all programs.

I may have pimped this before but a good site for scrip discounts. At least sign up for newsletter and a discount card.

If you use/have Medicare, terms that are very important to understand and may require you to be proactive with your doctor and hospital to avoid surprise billing charges.

Medicare’s "Two-midnight rule".

"3-Day Qualifying Hospital Stay" for Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Claims.

Understanding Medicare "Observation vs. Inpatient Status".

Medicare Outpatient Observation Notice (MOON) patient mandatory notification rule.

Hospital Observation Status Can Be Financially Devastating for Seniors

When a senior is hospitalized, it’s crucial to find out whether they’ve been admitted as an inpatient or registered as an outpatient under observation. This governs whether Medicare will cover their hospital bills and care in a skilled nursing facility.

Same for me, I'm almost 45 but I feel, both physically and mentally, at least 50 if not older.
My health is wrecked & declining, my mind is tired... existentially exhausted.

At 39 I still felt 25, shit went downhill fast.

As they say you can only really understand life backwards but you're stuck living it forward.

Hi SN,
Welcome to RUI. It's never too late to start. How old are your plants and what sort of problems?

Hi and thank you very much!

I agree, it´s never to late to start with this. :)

I´m at day 55 since they sprouted. Right now I belive I have a calmag deficiency, in combination with that my plant (especially one of them) are also heavily suffering from the aftermath of some terrible light burn. The top leaves look really terrible, but the "spread" of the problem did stop when I raised the lights 6 inches to the correct hight. I hope this is what is wrong with my plant(s), so that I´m able to correct it all in a proper way.

Can you post a picture. I don't see why we can't have a look right here. Tell us more about the grow. What lights and media. The light burn may slow things down...but plant should recover. But the calmag issue should be corrected...if that's the right diagnosis.

Thanks a million for taking the time to help me with this!

That sounds great, I´m really keeping my thumbs crossed that my plant is going to survive.

I´m using 2 lights, both are Hlg 260W QB v2 Rspec and I´m growing in coco. The huge mistake I did was when I looked up what distance I should have between the lights and plants. I looked on a single light instead of looking up the distance when I´m using 2 lights. I have also raised the PH from 5.8 to 6.3 in hope that the plant is going to uptake the calmag better.

What can you see from the pictures, does it look like I´m in the right ballpark when it comes to my "diagnosis" of the problem?

Sn,
What nutrient strength and schedule are you using. That stage of flowering is where salt buidup often shows up. Was the coco prepared properly (or good quality bagged)?

The first 3 weeks I used only water, then I started with 1/4 strength of what it says on the nutrient-bottle for about 2 weeks. After that I went up to 1/2 of what it says on the bottle for about 2 weeks and for the the last 1 week or so I give them 1/1 dose of what it says on the bottle. I feed them everytime, but maybe I should only give them water in between?

The coco I´m using is Gold labels Special mix light, I do believe it´s prepared properly. Heres a link: http://www.goldlabel.nl/88/Special-Mix-Light.aspx

Do you think that I should flush my plant, or is it to late in to flower to do that?

Sn,
I'll take a shot here. My guess is you have a comfination of light and nute burn. With your light too close...the top leaves were transpiring like crazy to keep cool. All the while they were pulling full strength nutes up to those leaves.

Generally growers do not use the instructions on the bottle...related to dosing. I never go even to half strength with my nutes. So I'm afraid you are going to have to flush. Feed just water and calmag for awhile and maybe in 3 days or so...start in with your flowering food at ,aybe 1/4. Forget about 55 days. Harvest will be delayed a bit.

Either that or harvest a sick plant with poor yield. Both your issues: overfeeding and light too close are probably the two most common newbie problems. At least you didn't kill it as a seedling. I think you can still get a harvest.
JD

PS Be sure to use calmag in your flush water too. You have a ph pen right? Check runoff ph. My guess is it will be like 4.

Thanks a million for the great and thorough advices!

I´ll do as you instruct and I´ll def. cut down on the nute-amounts. Yes, I have both a ph-pen and a ec-pen. I really don´t care if the plants are going to take longer to be finished, Better to get something out of them then nothing. I will learn on the way to harvest aswell. I think that this have to be my goal with this grow.

I´ll read up on how to flush the plant properly and get to work straight away.

Again JD, thanks a million for the great and thorough help and advices!

No big deal Sn...happy to help. Hust keep 20% or more runoff each watering...and try to keep nutes below EC 1 until plant is fully recovered.
