Hey everyone, So I've been really busy at work the past two weeks and haven't updated as often as I would like. Also, with 12/12 cycle, I come home and she's already sleeping, so I haven't taken as many pics recently. The nute burn has slowed down, and all the new growth is still looking...

Day 40, I flipped her to 12/12 yesterday. She's recovering well from the nutrient burn (WHOOPS!). All new growth is healthy and green now, which is a huge load of relief. Even though they don'y look "pretty", I'm going to leave all of the leaves that were burned. None of them are fully fried...

Okay, I have only given her plain spring water form the past 2 times. I will do a proper flush like you have described tomorrow. She's doing much better now. I'm almost positive it is nutrient burn at this point, but it hasn't gotten any worse now. Thanks for all you help man, I really...

Okay, thanks so much! I haven't had time to do a proper flush today, but I will most likely get to it tomorrow. I have watered her with plain spring water the past 2 times, and I haven't noticed any more leaves browning now. So I'm almost positive it is nute burn. I will do the flush you...

This is a quote from another member "That's definitely nutrient burn. To my knowledge, all miracle grow potting soil has nutrients in place already. Maybe you found some kind that doesn't, but barring that, I think you should definitely not be adding any more nutes on top of what's already in...

Okay, thanks. the new growth is great right now. Mainly the large fan leaves and a few random small ones are affected. I'll not give her any more nutes.

Okay, the browning is spreading still, so I'm going to do a leech + light feed tomorrow. I have never had this happen to any of my plants before, so hopefully I can figure it out.

I'm feeding with Expert Plant Food (its cheap). 15-30-15. One teaspoon per gallon. I've only feed her twice so far, however the soil says that it "feeds for months", so I think that's where I made a mistake. I don't add cal/mag. Also, should I remove the dying leaves, or just let the plant do...

Hey all, This is my afghan girl. Shes 37 days old today. Vegging under a 250 watt CFL. Temps are at 74-82. RH at 35-40%. Soil medium (merical grow). For the past week, several of these fan leaves have begun to dry, brown, and die from the edges inward. I water every 3-4 days, and have only...

Day 37, Hey all, I might have a little problem. I've never had this happen to me before. Some of the fan leaves have begun to dry up, brown, and die from the edges inward. It's mostly on the older larger fan leaves. New growth appears to be healthy and steady. I'm thinking it's either nutrient...

Yea, I've been doing a lot of reading and apparently its a an on going debate on whether to remove or not. there are a lot of factors involved, and I don't want to venture into all of that right now. so my lady isn't going to be trimmed, pruned, or defoliated. I'll post a pic of her later.

Yea, from what I've been hearing and reading is that defoliation will slow growth for a few days, then usually a burst of growth after that. I have no personal experience with that yet though. good luck with the rest of your grow. Hopefully she yields well!

Thanks man, yours looks good too! I'm not going to trim anything this time around...it's only my 5th grow and I'm not trying to try anything new atm.

Okay, I didn't remove any from my last grow, so I won't remove any from this one either. I do have 2 small 4' fans blowing on it directly. I like what you said about using the lower leaves as a guide to watch for deficiencies. I will keep that in mind. Thanks!

Day 33, Coming along nicely imo. Here are pics from every angle. I also included pics of the main stalks LST job. Very similar approach to my last grow. I measured her with a string from top to bottom, she's 1' 4'' tall (if she weren't LST'd of course). I haven't trimmed or defoliated...

whitebb2727 is correct. Your using the watt equivalent ratting, which is not the actual wattage of those bulbs. I have one very large 250 actual-watt CFL bulb, it was $55 and it weighs almost 10 lbs. I have 4 other small CFLs rated at 42 actual watts each...the box says they are 150 watt...

LST'd only the main top today, about to go for a hike...I'll post pics later. I think she's liking the extra veg days.

hehe, thanks man...I've got another CFL grow going right now.

My last grow...this is a pic from when she was close to harvest. It's Afghan Skunk under 300watts of mixed spec. CFLs
