So i have 4 'Magic Crystals', bought them because they had a very early flowering time. in the box is also a 'Thai X super skunk', which was left over from my first grow, and a 'The Church'. The Thai is 3 weeks old on Monday, the church and crystals will be 2 weeks on Monday. I just love to plant on mondays :-o

The grow box is super ghetto at the moment, but I'm building a bigger better one for the babies when they get a bit bigger. There sitting under 4 blue LED spot lights and a fluo tube. which does the job so its good enough for me . For Flowering i have a 250w 2700k cfl, but that's all in good time. Not really sure what else i should say... hmmm, have some pictures.....The Church 1.jpgMagic Crystal Family.jpgThai X Super Skunk.jpgAll.jpgIn the box 1.jpgIn the box 2.jpg

Quick update as it seems as though its been a while, there has been segnificant leaf growth, and the new box is done. It's much bigger and cleaner, and has 2 cpu fans as an intake and an exhaust. As you can see by the pictures the plants have some kind of defficiency, i personally believe its a calcium def. but i may be wrong, so i haven't tried to gure it yet. There on there first day of half strength bio-grow, which i've heard is great stuff. DSC_1106.jpgDSC_1107.jpg

Update!!!! So the deficiency doesn't seem to be getting any better, and it appears to be affecting all the plants slowly, so if you have any ideas then please say. The good news is there is quite a lot more growth,, and there maybe some 'hollands hope' growing soon, as they grow nicely outside, but i want to get them to a good size.

stop watering so much.
i bet things straighten right up.
they are too young to even need ferts.
calm down.

also move your LEDs closer. about 1"-2"
i would let the bigger one dry out a little, then transplant it to abigger pot
being sure to bury that long stem. (shouldn't need a stick)
to bring all the plants closer to the same level once the big one is repotted
use a stack of magazines or anything your stoner brain tells you will work and put the shorter ones on it.

ok, so i haven't watered for two days, i'll leave it at least another, do you think the tall thai could do with some nutes? or should i wait even for that one?

Dude they got like minimal roots right now you could probably go 3-4 more days wo water. If you let them dry out a little bit then they spring roots like a mofo on the next water. It's a trick. I like to always let them dry before I water. It also keeps the soil healthy and without a lot of fungus or algae. What is your temp and humidity near your plants? You may want to put a little more vermiculite/perlite in your pots next time. I like to put about 25% in the pots.

yea, i'll leave the watering a few more days .. should the next watering be any heavier than normal?. humidity is around 30% and temp is 21°C, there is quite alot of perlite in the soil. i just hide it with a fine layer of clean soil.. Thanks for tips though!!!

So just watered them after 4 days, did this because i re-potted the slightly worse for ware MC and the soil was bone dry. I re-potted the MC with a really composty mix as i reckon going more natural would help '??her??' out. there all looking good, and I'm going to give them some names:confused: There all starting to smell, so i just want them to hurry the hell up because summer is nearly here, and its 27°C outside in England, now that doesn't happen much. Also the Hollands Hope seeds arrived, they'll get big enough to grow outside under 12/12, then they can move out into this wicked weather!

1 month is over and i'm pretty happy with the result. There all on a half dose of Bio-grow and being watered once every two days. I plan to start flowering in 2 to 3 more weeks, and am debating to go to 18/6 until then any suggestions??? Here are some pictures!
