hell yeah treeZ, sounds good to me. maybe i'd have better luck with those, LoL.

well, day 92, same ole shit, i cannot stress how much i want these to be done, its to late to scrap these girls as im sure i'll get some ok buds off them, but dam!! i just dont understand whats wrong with them. now there are more leaves turning brown on veneus too. this just sucks, LoL. i backed down on the nutes, only water when the soil starts to dry out, which is about every other day, the temps are ok, and the ph is good. heres the pics.
That sucks bro! I wouldn't stress it to much though, even if all the leaves fall off you will still be getting some decent bud off them to hold you over while your watching your next batch mature :)

wow... they look angry... and if it is not PH I have no idea why...
LoL, i like that, i've been checking ph all the time now and its right between 6.5 to 6.8, i dont know either.

yeah, im not, it is what it is. man, i cant wait!! start over and regroup!! i just thought i would be doing better on my 3rd grow by now, ya know.
Looks like they're being touchy. How much longer till you chop?
hey assasin, im hoping about 4 to 5 weeks, that will be 10 weeks total, so mid/late nov. i didnt start flowering till day 48 since they were clones and took so long to fill in. its almost 6 1/2 weeks of 12/12 and 5 weeks since flowers showed up.

I bet when you get your beans ordered and in, it will be a night and day difference!!
yeah, im counting on that bro, a fresh start with all new stuff, just talked to my buddy in iowa and he'll be back thursday and he said the first thing is to order the seeds and get all the stuff i need. and, he starts on saturday at the kennel here and they want me to do all the night card pick ups, man, im feeling better now, LoL.
damn. Well hopefully you get they brown leaf thing figured out.
thanks man, believe me, im so over this, LoL. as i said above, fresh start, new nutes, good seeds, it can only get better.

day 93, the girls are still brown, LoL. im was thinking, someone said they could be rootbound in the small 6" pots that might be the girls problem, i hate to change anything now with only a few weeks to go. the reason i used these pots was that the rootball was so small from molly (pics) compared to new beans rootball so i didnt think it hurt anything. does anyone think it would stress them to much to change to the bigger pots so far into flowering? i might change them now if it will help.

thats the same thing i thought becuase the root ball that was on my other tree was so0o0o small but i was tol dits ok to transplant really early into flower becuase they are basically still in vege (while they stretch) im not sure if it would be better or worse for u to transplant that now...my guess would be that itll cause alot of unwanted stress so late into flower

yeah, not sure what to do, i have 2 bigger pots to use and enough soil, so, i dont know. they'll come right out of the small pots, might just do it tomorrow any ways.

i think i will use the 2 white containers, the big bucket is just big for the box. the white ones are like 2 gallons or so and fit great.

i had some for breakfast along with the girls, LoL.

ok, its day 94 and the girls are very happy with there new pots, well, they dont look it yet, but im sure they are, LoL. i watered them this morning with some of the worm castings tea. we'll see if all this helps to turn these babies around. that was the last of the hyponics soil, i have no complaints about this stuff as im sure the problem lies with me and my nute mixtures and the girls being rootbound. i will now only use the 6" pots as starter pots and then transfer into the big pots that they finish in.

Haha, I had some bat guano along with my girls lol..

You know what cd, I didn't even think about the pot size!! That probably has something to do with it, how bad where your roots built up on the last couple grows?

there was a big ass rootball on new bean in a 10" pot, and molly and 2-1 were not big at all in 2 10" pots. thats why with the clones, i went with the 6" pots. those things i just changed to are about 2 1/2 gallons, they were kitty litter containers, i just cut the top off and put some holes in the bottom. there sitting on paint sticks in the rectangle aluminum catch pan, worked out great, i think they will be fine and i didnt spend a dime, LoL.

the big square cat food buckets were just too big, they would have taken up 1/2 the box. the pics are , new bean roots, 2-1 roots and molly 's roots. so i learned something, just transplant the first time to the big pot your gonna finish in. im gonna use those for the next grow also, there the perfect size.

I learned the same thing this time around on my mystery girls! I also learned not to use clay pots if your going to be transplanting them because there a PITA to get the root ball out of..

Those pots do look like a good size though, the 6" pots are probably just a little to small..
