I took some pics last night but havnt had anytime to upload them until now. I wish I had more time as they looked even better today (pics were taken before watering). I think I am back on schedule as today I barely see any yellowing, I dont think I will be giving any additional N unless needed. Here are some pics of the girls, seems as the 3 youngest finally hit the res as they shot up like crazy. Just started the seedlings on nuts as well, they also look much green today then last night.

The older AB is not branching out at all, but it seems like the other one is going to. What causes this? She is smelling really nice and I tried to take a picture of how frosty she is starting to look but I need to use a better camera then the one on my phone.

From left to right, Pic1 - Vanilla Kush, LSD, Pineapple Chunk, AutoBlueberry, Easyryder, Flower Power, Easyryder, and auto blueberry.

Wow no visits from last update...

Well shit was going great for my seedlings (non autos) until I looked in there last night. I have been feeding 1/4 strength nutes. The leaves have little brown sports on them (no bugs that I could find) and has this weird indentation on one of the leaves. Im thinking I just need to transplant and bump up the strength of my nutes. My other two plants look good thought. I took a shot of all the girls in the tent, too lazy to take them all out yesterday...

I also started a Critical Jack bean I have.

Oh shit dude I typed a whole thing and must have lost it before I could send it. I'm sorry man. Lemme retype it as best I can remember.

The branching out thing could be genetic but you can force it to branch if you top, fem, or lst her. As for the Girls they are looking beautiful. It looks like the autoberry is getting a little purple tint to her. They look really short, are you trying to keep them short for a reason?

Yeah she is pretty far into flowering and stiff as a board, in another week or so the bud is going to completely cover up all the leaves! Yeah they are looking pretty good, no I want them to be HUGE but they are staying very short, not sure why, plenty of nutes, 600w+ of light, 79F, 20/4 lighting, cycling air, no Co2 but I go in there numerous times and breath air in there (I know not enough but still something). Seems pretty optimal for good growth. I just bought a pH tester so I cant wait to get home and test my pH. I have been using tap water so I am not sure what it is.

2.5 for the autos, I will be doing 4-5 for the other ones. Finally checked my pH last night, it was in the high 7's. I used some vinegar for the time being to lower it to 6 and I will get some pH down later hopefully.

High sevens is why your having slow growth, they can't uptake the nutrients they need. Get the ph down asap!

Thanks someguy I will be doing this for now on...guess I should have bought a pH meter a little sooner.
I still use the little drops. 5 bucks a bottle and they last me 6 months... seems more reliable the meters to me IDK? I guess meters are more accurate though... For hydro you want to ph most stuff from 5.8-6.2, soil you want 6.8 or so.

Yeah I tried to use one of those last grow and I couldn't use them. I am semi-colorblind so I need to damn numbers. Thanks for the info though!!!!

Yes they do work better from my experience. The testers can tend to be off a bit sometimes. There is a such thing as un-synced meters too so that could give erroneous readings too.

HAHAHA.....

the meter I got seems to be working great..one plant didn't respond well from the lower pH but the others look great. I transplanted the LSD and Vanilla Kush today and the Critical Jack sprouted.

Well havn't been on this site much recently. I have decided to quite the fucking hempy buckets cause I am having nothing but problems. My 5 auto's have really turned around and are producing some good looking bud. The auto-blueberry is starting to get orange hairs on her and looking good, extremely short but ALL bud and real dense looking. Other ones are looking great, not as green as I would like but not as bad as before. Thanks everyone!

Only problem is not my regular plants are not looking good. I am switching to soil, air pots, and Classic Jacks nutrients (Duo). This was recommended by someone I would consider very experience so I decided to try it, cant make shit any worse. I will be leaving the 5 autos as is and continue with Lucas Formula. The 4 other in veg\seedling will be transfered to dirt when I have all the supplies.

Ill try to keep this updated but will be making a new grow journal at another site. I will not list it here and spam, if you would still like to follow it please PM me. I will def check in here time to time though.
