Husband & Wife's 3rd Grow. Big Bud & Northern Lights

[liljheazy]

yea it might be the potassium level, check the plant problem thread it'll tell everything. overall there looking great

 

[wannabee]

that sounds good to me, thanks

 

[Nunyobizness]

Wow, your plants look great! Short, bushy - if they are having a problem it isn't showing very well in the pics. Maybe try a few without your HPS light?

I am going to have to do that. My camera broke and the one I am using is like a goldish tint to the pics with the light. They girls have yellowing all around the edges. I can see it... but then again I already saw it ...LoL


And thanks! I'll try and get some more pics tomorrow. Just got in and soooo tired!

When the plants reach 3-4 weeks start with normal allround nuts at 1/4 strength on bottle. Always do plan water (maybe ad a table spoon hydro. peroxide per couple gallons water for roots) every other water. If they take the 1/4 nuts well then move to 1/2 strength. Most people never pass 1/2 strength but it depends on the nut. brand. I've only used AN. Iguana nuts. When something works and organic why change? Many good nut companies. That being said be very careful about reacting to a different colored leaves and big changes. I'd say give em normal all round nuts and let them work things out rather then trying to overreact with nut. care to off colors leaves and nut. burn....consistency is key. If your giving good allround nuts. they should be fine.

How's the ph going? That can cause leaf color issues if ph is off. Make sure you ph everything correctly going into plants after mixing. Like water and any nut mixing then check/correct to ph 6.4/6/.5.....


They look great! Nice and bushy just like you want em.

your ph needs to be balanced when you feed those nutrients. Don't put peroxide in with your water as it will kill your beneficial macro biotic environment. Overfed a little, or didn't mix well enough (nutes that is)...... the heat in combination with ph imbalance will slow the uptake of nitrogen, or burn your plant (if you are feeding). Yellowing on the edges that is.... from the pics you took, you can see the heat is still getting to them somewhat.

Nice, i like the home-made tent, inspiring.

 

[Nunyobizness]

Thanks guys! Sorry I havent been on... I have been sick as a dog! Damn sinuses! So hubby has watered them and fed them the Sensi Grow A & B. They have all green'd back up except for one. Her leaves are getting better tho. He has filled up his jugs and let them sit and after adding the nutes, he has ph'd them. He is also going to get that digital ph tester instead of using the drop kit and color chart. One night he was having so much trouble with the ph, he used the up and down quite a few times in one bottle... I made him dump it and start all over again. I was worried that too much up and down would hurt them. But it worked out fine after that.

All but one of my NL's is growing. I can see the cap on one of the Nl's peeping thru the soil but it didnt come up any further than that. (Maybe shitty seeds?) I will have hubby take some pics for me tonight and post them. I am still feeling like crap. LoL


And thanks Rolling.... much appreciated. If you decide to make one...read thru my thread. Dragon pointed out some well needed info to make your tent right.

 

[Relaxed]

Hope your feeling better soon. Alergys and sinus problems can put you on your arc.

One thing about the ph balance. It's not good to use up and down ph on the same water treatment. Is your normal phed water balance in the 7s? Then use ph down and if you go below 6.4 then throw some un-phed water back into it to raise if needed. You will be very happy with the digital ph guage.

Your plants will as well.

One thing about peroxide I use it after reading a lot about it. It will help clean up fungus in soil and air out the roots. Not good to use regularly and really only sparingly but has it's purpose particularly if you think buildup in your soil or use bad soil and see plant issues.

 

[Nunyobizness]

Thanks Relaxed. And yes our water is usually 7.0 I think. never thought about using non ph'd water to bring it back up. Great idea thanks.

Also, Hubby is thinking about throwing them into flower. We have just now hit the 4th week. We started them on July 26th. Any thoughts? I seen some force into flowering after 14 days??? but mostly 4-5 weeks and then flower any where from 7.5-9 weeks total.

 

[Relaxed]

you can start 12/12 anytime. But...they won't start the flowering till they have 4/5 weeks anyway because they aren't mature enough. The longer you veg the more branching develops and more bud sites so end result harvest is better. I'd suggest since they are looking good I would top them today and wait one more week to recopercate from topping...If you have lower branching I'd top them as well. Each top will double bud sites. The 4 to 5th week is good development week. After that anytime. Longer veg better end results and bigger plant...

Experiment- you have 2 rooms now for flower and veg? Throw half in flower now and top the others putting them in th veg area for another week. See the effects on the topped plants and if end harvest is better with one more week veg?

You must not have light leaks from the veg to flower area. Make sure that i covered before going to flower.

Lastly...Hermies female/male and male plants do happen in fem seeds. Be sure your keeping an eye on them. It isn't out of the norm.....

hope you feel better. id go another week if you can. more buds later. i need digi ph meter too. way easier.by the way just harvested my lil one. ill post some picts tomorrow.v happy growing

You don't top males. You top females to get more colas. When you top 2 new tops grow on the sides of where you topped at. Males are no good unless you Want to make seeds.

Yanno, I wrote an email to marajuana-seeds.com. Only 1 out of 4 NL's grew....I wonder if anyone else had problems with seeds from them. I may have to post in the threads somewhere and see if others have had problems too.

Now I await the ms.com's response.

I do have more pics.... just been dying over here. I actually think i have the flu. Been running a fever for 4 days. Arrgh!

That sucks. I've never had that kind of problem even with bagweed. some vendors help out and some don't. If you look into another check out Attitude. So much to pick from. I have a wish list mile long. Good vendor.

The flu...oh go to bed..

I will... im gonna check it out this weekend. And lmaooo Yanno! I was at work with a low grade temp today and have to work 12 hrs tomorrow... I am getting ready to sign off now!

 

[theloadeddragon]

well feel better at any rate.....


maybe when you feel better those beans will sprout for you????

 

[greenfirekilla420]

Hmmm sounds like just some shitty seeds. The attitude is the shit and ya I got a list a mile long as well for them. They are a bit pricey but make up for it with the freebie seeds and the huge selection. If money is an issue hit up www.dope-seeds.com they have a lot of the same seed banks as the attitude but a lot cheaper/downside is no free seeds unless you order over 50 pounds and you get some thai hazexskunk stuff. I've made 4 orders from them and everytime they make it to me.

 

[jeb5304]

Sorry to hear your still ill. hope it's not h1n1. Better luck next time with the seeds. I like attitude myself. its very good seedbank. Happy growing.
