First Time CFL. Check it Out!

[HighLife4Me]

From what I've been reading, go with attitude seedbank for buying seeds, I've read nothing but good things, I think my next grow I'll use them instead of bagseed

Sweet thx borbor! Yea was worried and not sure witch one to go with. Thx for the tip. Checking them out now ;p

I pretty sure this is mg deficiency. take a look let me know what u think.




I started leaf feeding her last night.When the soil dries out i will feed her some more, hopefully tomorrow

I think your definitely right with your diagnosis of an mg deficiency which can be common in all mediums indoors.
Following reasons:
1. Leaves curling OVER instead of under.
2. The discoloration in the beginning of the leaves in pictures 1,3 and 4 posted above.

What you can do:
You can use water soluble nutes like Mg sulfate or Ca-Mg for fast absorption.
or you can use garden lime or worm castings for moderate absorption.

This is my personal opinion but i hope this is helpful to you, best of luck.

Very Helpful. Thank u soo much it seemed like the plant has been eating its self for nutes. I always have been using the same amount of nutes sense it was 3 weeks old and it was a lot smaller.Ever sense it was about 1 week into flower it started getting burnt looking tips thought it was nute burn and backed off the nutes a little. Then a couple days ago i really over watered it with just reg water, and it looked like it was getting worse after. Growth is slowing also.

Thank u soo much for your help +repp

Hi, im sittin in... looks like a girl to me, see almost in the centre of the pic, those are pistils in my book.

 

[borbor]

yup! I see pistils in the third pic and possibly the first!

Wow.
I feel so sorry for her :/

First of all, when you have 4 tiny little party cup seedlings, give them one bulb.
And put every other bulb on your big plant.

I can't believe you topped her this late, but we'll see how she does.
Don't prune off fan leaves.

That burn looks like CFL lamp burn from them slapping the bulb, possibly in the wind.
My baby has been stretching into the lamp so fast that she keeps burning her top, it's so hard to keep up with her.

Oh and she looks great so far.

Thx for the info . Thought she looked bad a couple days ago, but yesterday she got WAY worse . Even today i still see the aftermath. It hurts. I really dont want to take a pic of her because she looks so bad but i will -_- ill post it. I started super feeding her yesterday and she is a little more perky today so it was a mix of nute deficiency and being severely over watered. I am still sticking with her. The buds are still growing so thats a plus . Updating with photo in a few min.

 

[HighLife4Me]

Be gentle.





Makes me feel like s%*#.

It is my first grow, kinda like a test run to see if i was able to do it. So i am building my grow box tomorrow. I plan to keep growing on an endless cycle. Its too much fun to stop. The plants bring me to much happiness and feelings of accomplishment. I will grow till the earth runs out of soil.

I will keep updating pics.. i think she will turn around fine. Also going to take pics of my grow box when its finished in a few days. Going to buy a real good ph/ec/tsd and temp meter and larger pots xD.

How about some close ups of the buds? They look wonderful, the plant does look pretty droopy but I did the same thing you did, I'd rather her be over-watered then burned...

Will doo. I take some pics around this time tomorrow. Gonna feed her in the morning, she should be looking a lot better tomorrow. building the box tomorrow also so ill post those also. The box is going to be built around her. just going to close the area in , have a better setup for my lights, all i can do for reflective surfaces is high gloss white paint for now.

thx for posting ;p

Have you checked for any pests? Just making sure, you never know. Sometimes when pests are feeding on plants, they drain so much energy from your babies that it results in deficiency symptoms. As long she keeps getting better with those feedings, though, you should be ok. How much you been watering her?

She's still going strong, might be painful now but the knowledge gleaned from researching how to heal your baby will lead to healthier, stronger plants in the future. You gotta start somewhere, eh?

Yea i have been checking for bugs. It's justt nute deficiency. the pot she is in in way to small for her so the soils runs out of nutes/water fast. I was watering her everyday, that was to the cause of the over watering, i did something stupid to get it over watered.

She is looking better now. I started to setup my grow box today. hers are some pics. (work in progress)



This weekend i am going to get a better lighting configuration going. Every plant i grow from now on will be topped and lst'ed, if they are not autos.

Thx for posting guys ;p ill keep updating.

 

[Foolet]

No bud close ups?

 

[C.Indica]

Be careful with adding fertilizer.
The problem of nutrient deficiency can begin with nutrient toxicity.
Abundancies of certain nutrients can cancel the plant's ability to process certain other elements.

Make sure all CFL bulbs are about 1-2" from plant matter.

High gloss for reflective surfaces is nowhere near as a matte White paint! According to some stuff I've read matte White has a better reflectivity than stuff like Mylar (just what I've read)

Anyways those biatches are looking pretty fine mate good job!
