I haven't tested it yet but I'm buying a cheap tester at home depot when I finish work tonight. Hope its accurate. I'm going to pick up some of the jungle soil and try that out.

Also it was not started outside, it was under a metal halide(sp) light. And I think he said he used miracle grow potting soil >.< Once I get done work I am stopping at home depot to pick up another soil to use instead of that, anyone have any suggestions? Seems like the brands they have...

Oh wow thank you very much for the reply. It was bag seed I had and we just said fuck it why not try it. It is just some regular potting soil he uses for the rest of his garden

Oh yea he said he was watering it every morning, but I added the nutes I got and I'm gonna let it go a few days now

My uncle had started this plant probably 4-5 weeks ago, and I noticed it had a few problems. He kept saying once we replant it in our garden it will be fine, however I decided to give a shot at growing it myself with some CFL's. I took the plant and transplanted it into a bigger pot yesterday...

Okay, I think I narrowed it down to a phosphorus deficiency by the stem changing to a purpleish and the leaves browning. Going to get some bone meal now and will have to find some good nute mix somewhere I guess.

well I was reading in the cfl tutorial that 5000k and 6500k were the best for veg growth, then switch to 2700k 3000k for flowering. Right now I am a bit more worried about my plant starting to die. Looks like it may have some sort of deficiency, although I am really not all that sure. Reading...

I was reading the cfl guide and it said 5000k would suffice, but I will look for 6500k's at my local store. These 5k's will have to do for now though. I just moved the plant to a much bigger container, probably 5x the size, so hopefully that will help some. /e thinking my plant has 'soil/nute...

Okay, so this is my first grow, and I got this plant half started from someone else. I provided the seeds, they just provided the original grow spot for the first 4 weeks. Anyway, it was not a very ideal setup they had, and I finally got mine set up, which isn't great by any means. But I am...

The lower leaves of my plant are cringing up, real dry, and browning/yellowing. Also the upper part of the stems are purple. What do you guys think is wrong; someone in another thread said it sounds like too much nutrients, or perhaps I misread that. Also, I think I need to move it to a...

ahh that looks awesome! that's how i am starting my next plant!!

Here is what I've got going on right now. Those are four 23w :( 5000k bulbs. The plant was started by someone else under an unknown light, and I noticed the light was rather far from the plant so I figured I might as well move it to mine since I could control the height far easier. I am going...

I am extremely new to this myself, but my friend and I just threw 4 of my seeds into regular soil he uses to grow his vegetables, and we had two sprout and are growing strong just like that. However, they do show signs of stress / lack of nutrients / maybe PH problems from leaf discoloration, I...

This thread has been perfect for me! In a very similar position and all this info is greatly appreciated, will be following this

Reading this makes me feel like such a turd! Lol I am skimming these journals and I am so far below you guys.. Very interested in seeing some pictures if you have any. /e I apologize, I just read in a post I am not allowed to post in journals? Please delete this if so

Good thinking, I have bought worse stuff on there before that turned out to be g2g. I am looking to just keep the grow in this cabinet I have already, but what kind of items should I pick up? Any certain cfl bulbs?

I will go browse there now and see what I can't find. Also, my buddy told me I should get the flood light CFL's, but I do not know if they will fit onto my power strip. Right now I have the four crammed on there, and I am afraid 400w just will not be enough, even with the reflective tape.

I am doing my first grow myself, and I have two plants growing from just mids bag seed. I'm doing it for the experience mostly, I'll worry about better seeds once I get a better grasp on how to run things smoothly.

Thank you! Good point, I didn't account for the space the lights are going to take up. Still shouldn't be all that bad however. I don't have any grow/hydro stores near me. I may just give this a whirl, and if I see it isn't working, I can try cloning the plant I will have growing outside...
