whats up fellas. heres a few pictures of the ladies.. blackberry is extremely droopy..especially on the side that isent getting much light..think that has anything to do with it?? the temps were very high so i removed one of the bulbs until i figure out how to lower temps..maybe an ac unit in the window?but... you guys think that droop is from the side not getting light??or maybe that plus a little underwatering plus heat stress?? bubba wasent showing much signs of stress and it was getting most the light? sorry i couldnt grab many pics...was naptime soon.

Hmm...Hasn't the blackberry always been droopy? Now it looks like the branches are drooping if I'm not mistaken...Man, you're gonna need a lot of stakes and string to hold her up when she's got buds on her...Maybe it needs silica supplements, like "DynaGro Pro TeKt", it's supposed to increase cell wall strength, and improve stem strength and promote good leaf placement...Might not work, but it could also be worth looking into. I think I'm about to switch to the DynaGro line for my hydro setup, and was checking it out the other day, and I've read some pretty solid reviews about it. Anyway, drooping aside, things are looking lush and green...I think blackberry is just lazy...tell her to get her fat ass off the couch and hit the treadmill! Though I wouldn't rule out your theory of underwatering and heat stress...i'm no expert but I'm sure you'll figure it out soon!

lee harvey · Mar 11, 2011

bubba kush is lookin mighty fine but the bottom branches of the blackberry are limp... i think this might be because of underwatering..watta you guys think?? :-(

crazytrain14 · Mar 11, 2011

when was the last time you watered and how much did you water? could be over or under watering. could even be a ph issue. stick your finger 2 inches into the the soil. if it is damp or moist i dont water but 2-3 in in and its dry i water. usually every 2ish days

stoneyluv · Mar 11, 2011

They are looking good... a little thirsty maybe but all plants will require i different amount of water, some use it up faster than others.... my plants always get thirsty at different times!!

Smokey11 · Mar 11, 2011

looking good I agree w/ stoney it makes sense.

+rep right back at ya oswald!! Finally spread it around enough!

lee harvey · Mar 12, 2011

Alriight boys today is March 12th and I got a great update since last night..as some of you know, my blackberry plant was droopin really badly.. Gave it a nice watering and checked back this morning and its reaching for the stars again!! The problem was underwatering.. the babies will be 2 months old on the 15th and that sounds like a perfect time to throw em into flowering.. Was going to give them a 36 hour dark period before the light change but I really want them to heal and get the most out of their last couple days under their normal schedule.. Maybe ill do 24 hrs of dark? Idk.. Well see... Ill throw some pictures up later they are lookin sexxy guys ;]

lee harvey · Mar 12, 2011

Finally figured how to upload pics straight from my phone. Sorry for the shitty pictures ill get some betta ones soon.. Peep the yellowing on some of the tips on the leaves..can this be a result from underwatering too?

Green Shark · Mar 12, 2011

Looking at your bulbs I am guessing no flowering stage yet so the plant didnt go through shock lately. But looks like the Ph maybe off a little and think it maybe heading for a nutritional lockout. But thats just my 2 cents get more opinions. Drooping can be from over or under watering but as far as heat goes the leaves would start to twist up and get crispy if it was hot! They look great though for sure. Glad the bubba came out good I was worried bout it earlier in the grow. But they will look outrageous with the tasty buds sitting atop all LST'ed up lol! Later Lee!

homer371 · Mar 12, 2011

looking great lee! i had the exact same thing my first grow, what i thought was over watering turned out to be underwatering lol. i swore i would buy a soil moisture meter, but never did and never needed to. i bet you won't let that happen again huh?

. and my thought on the yellow tips it's that it's a sign of nute burn. i forget what (and if) you've been feeding? maybe a good flush (with ph-balanced water) will help.

p.s. green shark might be right as well, he makes some interesting points. definitely not a heat issue.

Yeah man its all 65k in there so no pre flowers or anything ( I checked ) lol..yeah man I think you might be right about nute lockout, foxfarms only feeds for 30 days so its been a month without any nutes for these lil gals (does molasses count?). ... And yeah man I reallly need to buy a ph meter but money is tight right now.. I was worried about bubba too but it has came a very long way in the past month.

Green Shark · Mar 12, 2011

Yeah but 35 dollars is well worth it for a Ph meter when its all said and done it will pay for itself. I just stick my finger in the dirt about 2 inches or so and feel if its moist if not and the dirt is like dry as shit on top and I can move my finger around in it pretty well then I will water. That usually works for me about every 3 days well now everyday lol since my bitch is almost 42 inches tall and 45 inches wide lol! But as far as molasses goes I haven't never even used that stuff well besides on biscuits and shit lol! Everything will be great dont worry its all worth it when you get to see her pretty flowers.

Thanks homer.. I haven't used any nutrients on these ladies.. Foxfarn soil feeds em for the first 30 days but I've been giving them strictly spring water the past month . was givinh a little molasses here and there but I haven't even done that in atleast a month..hmmm

Green Shark · Mar 12, 2011

Just posted some more pics you should check'em out!

Green Shark · Mar 12, 2011

Why not slam the nutrients to them they can handle it. Oh and spring water I have seen that shit go for about 7.6 Ph which will lock out your plant so be careful of that stuff. Got some distilled water the other day to flush my girls and damn the Ph of it was 8.1.
