i would seriously not put thr fugicide cause it might kill em,,just wait till they bout to fall and then clone.
I've been reading about a lot of others that have used it with no problem during veg. I wouldn't use it during flowering, but I don't think it would be a problem if the fungicide was made for plants.

Alright, well here is an update for 3 weeks and 1 day. As you may have already read, I have a case of the stem rot. I'm not really sure why, but it's there. I sprayed some Daconil on it today, seems to be getting better, or at least the black is going away for now. I got all my shit up in the grow tent now, just gotta take back that piece of shit inline fan I got at home depot and pick up a way more powerful one. Anyways, on the brighter side, I will probably be taking a few clones from these if they don't make it. I've included some pics of what the stems look like and how big the trees are getting. Anyways, have fun, don't get stem rot, keep taking bong rips, and don't forget to tip your waiters and waitresses, they need money to buy pot too, ya know!

might be the sponges too,when i was just using my AG ,i used rockwool and chopped em down to size to fit in the AG and that was working fine with no rot so ya might wanna consider that if u stay with the AG but i suggest a DIY DWC setup or the simple BP.
Where did you get the tent from cause i got one coming from here ,this one exactly,just growin 4 plants so itll be ideal!

So I think the problem was that I was running the AG pump all the time and the sponges were staying wet all the time. So I turned it off completely, the sponges are dry now, sprayed the mold with fungicide, and now the stems are starting to bounce back it looks like. Very relieving. Thanks for the help and advice everyone. Purp, shit's lookin nice. Gonna be a good one, I know it. Sicc's is lookin good too. Can't wait to see some bud on those bitches!:blsmoke:

I read some other threads a couple days ago that said after they have their roots submerged in the water, that you should go ahead and turn off the water pump in the AG to keep the stems from staying wet. It seems to be working, but I'm not 100% sure yet. My roots are still doing fine since I have plenty of them in the water. I still have my air pump going 24/7 though. I guess we'll find out if this is a good idea or not.

Ok everyone, It's time for the week 4 update





:leaf:UPDATE:leaf:


So it's been exactly 4 weeks to this day since I put my little germinated Jock Horror seeds in my AG.

Since then, I have learned a multitude of things I never even thought of before.

The plants have gone through a couple rough times, but nothing they can't handle. I had a little heat problem in the beginning, and then last week I had some mold.

On the bright side, I still have 3 plants left, except one is stunted. He just stopped growing monday. My stem rot has pretty much subsided, the black is gone, and they are starting to grow back a bit it looks like.

I think I'm going to force flower next friday, since my biggest one has reached 6 inches tall now, and I think by the next week the second biggest will have caught up.


On another side of things, I'm going to be waiting a lot longer to get a house now, so I have a little more extra money hanging around to spend. So I bought a 424 CFM inline centrifugal fan and charcoal filter kit, and in a few more weeks I will be ordering the same HID setup that purp has going on. 400W HPS and MH conversion, digital ballast, inline reflector, and it's own fan. Can't beat it for 300 bucks.

Anyways, things are looking good. I was going to include some pics, but the attachment manager is having some problems, I'll have some up soon. In the meanwhile, have a seat. We can talk about the clouds, or food :-P, or we can just stare at a blank TV screen for 2 hours until somebody finally notices that it's not on............:confused:

Anyways, leave me a message! PEACE!!!
