hey riddle, i have a question that i dont think ne body will b able to answer lol think ya could take a look? >> https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/312416-can-u-stress-clone-into.html
They are looking better, BUT,,,,,hello all! I got some updated pics of my little ones for you to see. if you remember i had over watered them. how do they look now?
I cant get it any lower then the temp in the picture of the thermometer.
I would zip everything up (ok I prefer winrar, so I would actually rar it up)Riddle,
I thought about that, but this is a multi page spreadsheet that has formulas running between various pages. I'm not sure if all of that will go through being uploaded as a text file and then reformatted as an excel file and still work properly. I can always send it to your email if your interested, just need the address.
the plastic on the cups is to keep the moisture in the soil.They are looking better, BUT,,,,,
I am very confused as to why you have celophane on the cups???
also 84 F with 16% RH is gonna stunt em a lot!
You really need to get that under control, I know you say you can't but the plant is saying You Must!
Doog,
I may have all three. The pots are 5 gallon, but only about 1/2 full of soil at this point so the roots may be running out of room. As for the nutrients, I just can't tell. The FF mix has you putting in equal parts of a 6-4-4 and a 2-8-4, along with small amounts of supplements that have really whacked ratios (0-45-10), so trying to figure out exactly what ratio I'm running isn't going to be easy. One of the plants is showing all the signs of a PH problem, but they were showered last week. Unless my water has suddenly gotten a lot more alkaline that shouldn't be the problem (though it is a little high), and the shower should have washed away salt builds up that would cause nute lock out, so I don't know what to think at this point. I'm just going to try and get through the rest of this grow and switch over to jacks- at least then I'll know how much of what my girls are getting. I hve decided to upgrade to larger pots though-I was talking to the grower at the dispensary I've started frequenting, and he was saying that if you're growing plants over 4 foot tall that you really want to give their roots more room then a 5 gallon pot will allow. He suggested I consider getting 8-10 gallon pots where the plant had at least 9" to expand in every direction from the central stalk if I want to grow plants like UB is hiding behind in his avatar.
Why I fill the bottom of my pot with perlite (bout 2 inches deep)Riddle- That's assuming the soil all stays in the pot. I'm discovering that between showering every few weeks and regular waterings that the soil level drops quite a bit by the end of the grow. The blueberries i started 5 week back are in 5 gallon pots that i filled almost to the top, but as of today they are only about 85% full. The grow I have flowering was transplanted by the person who provided the clones since he was showing me how it was supposed to be done, so the pots only got filled about 2/3 of the way full to start with, and are now at about 1/2 full. My plants are all a bit above the 2 foot mark now, but i can't realistically expect them to get much over 3 foot (if that) with only 2.5 gallons of soil left in the pots. I've learned another lesson though-pots that drain out the bottom lose more soil then those that drain out the sides at the bottom.
Do you ever add fresh soil to the top layers in your pot to make up for whats been lost or compacted during watering? I've thought about it, but I have so many little bud sites that are only an inch or so above the soil that I figure I would be better of leaving well enough alone and trying to adjust things on the next set of plants.
IMO I do not think it would hurt em, hell if you remember I pulled the coir pot out of the soil in week 7 or 8 and she finishedYou don't think it would do more harm then good 4-5 weeks into flowering? I've been trying to avoid doing anything drastic because I'm only 4-5 weeks away from harvest and I didn't want to risk messing something up in a big way and/or losing a plant. I've got a bag of either perlite or vermiculite sitting up in the flowering room along with most of a bag of soil, so I have the materials. It's just that these girls have been through so much already that I'm worried that shocking their system again will just hurt the final harvest even more then it already has been by my noob mistakes.
p.s. I use a layer of hydroton a couple inches thick on the bottom, but if the perlite accomplishes the same thing without letting soil escape I'll have to switch methods on the next set I plant.
Read the whole thread (you'll be glad you did!)shrub is an a$$hole. i took your post word for word and got to thinking myself, as intended. majored in shite, shrub did. and it seems he got his degree
