The young ones look like they have a soil ph problem, see the way the leaf is curling.
What soil are they in?
They look old enough to give a week feed.

baaahahahahah word up home slizzice ill let ya know in bit how it shmokes! im sure he wont have resisted speed drying some :-P

welsh wizz · Jan 29, 2009

You want 2 cups of soil and 2 cups of water, 1st cup A of water at ph7 2nd cup B of water at ph6..
slowly pour cup A into 1st cup of soil and measure ph of run off, it wants to be less/equal 7 but not less than 6.
slowly pour cup B into 2nd cup of soil and measure ph of run off, it wants to be more/equal 6 but not more than 7.
If its too low add lime, if its too high add peat.

WoW Welsh reading that was almost like rocket science =)). Really simple i understand it all but it just looks confusing as hell.

Don, know what strain your buddys plant was? Apparantly it was harvested, i think?

The leaf curling is nowt to do with ph, when the leaves curl up, gnarl or twist like that its often because fan is too close or blowing constantly too hard onto that plant, the leaf starts to curl inwards or twist because its drying out, its an attempt by the plant to reduce the surface area of the leaf, reducing transpiration of moisture, and slowing down the drying out of the leaf, perfectly normal and nothing to worry about, called wind burn, my two jack flashes were wind burnt on every leaf up until about 5 leaf sets when the plant could handle a bit of strong breeze from my oscillating fan.

And a pic of her taken a few days ago, no ph checking or adjustment.

PH checking and adjustment is a complete waste of time and money when growing with most composts these days and will do more harm than good, leave it to the hydro boys.

The little'uns to me just look simple hungry, looks like theyre in a light seed mix in a small pot?? id get them potted on into a bigger pot of stronger compo asap and the new growth will be lush green again.

holy shit WW way to go tech! i rarely bother measuring my ph i bought a test kit from BnQ n i think ive used it once lol

forgive my ignorance but how do you go about getting one cup at ph7 and one at 6?

cheers for the info!

no idea Cr33p4 it was just a pot luck bagseed heheh from the same batch of bagseed i got, its not like any of the ones i grew out either ?!

welsh wizz · Jan 30, 2009

I use ph down from pet shop, but Iv known ppl to use vinegar.
Most pro mix's are blended to be at 6.0 to 7.0 pH.
I just like to check, you know its not a factor for the rest of the grow.

Don Gin and Ton · Jan 30, 2009

that Jumpin jack flash is looking luscious n green! i have to say im with you londoner i dont bother measuring ph, the leaves are like the eyes, a window into the plants soul ( crikey that was deep for this early ona friday...) the plant will tell you if it needs something or your overdoing it.

so when i got to my pals the babies were lookin really sad, the soil was so dry when i turned it upside down to see if it would scome loose with a gentle shake and most of the top inch of soil crumbled like dust out on the bench :-(

just put a splash of water in and they flipped out no prob, both were just about ready rootball wise i have him some BnQ compost mixed with about 1/4 perlite and potted into 1 ltr pots, gave them a good drink and told him to give them a drink either the next day if they looked dry or the day after if not. i didnt say go straight in with the big bud cos the compost he had id never even heard of 'bulrush'??? n i didnt know if it would have plenty nutes in as they usually do.

cheers for all your input lads much appreciated! :clap:

oh and my new beans arrived from picknmix :-P

tape box this time! olskoool

anyhow pics....

do you have to use either much?

welsh wizz · Jan 30, 2009

The ph down is Sulfuric Acid, so i just add a drop at a time and check ph with meter,if you put too much in just add more water to bring it back up.

ok so i went to start flushing big bertha in the bath and took the pot from around the pot holding her soil only to find in the water in the bottom god damn white little mitey type things really tiny like sugar sticks you get on cakes. i think they might be silverfish.... as the plant was moved into a space i was dehidifying after dealing with some damp n mould... the lil fuckers could swim but thankfully couldnt swim in bleach

first pic is the bucket full of tiny mites though you cant see them...

2/3/4 pic is my pals baby nearly ready to chop its only a foot tall and the calyx are frickin huge!!

5/6 are bertha in the bath!

7 is the bit id been water curing being hair dried before going on the radiator to finnish

8/9/10 is the hindu kush which is approaching 9 weeks and not a single hair has turned yet i think that will go another 2 weeks

11/12/13 are the 12/12 tent as is k train back right trainwreck both on the left front right the kush

last pic is the discolouration of the moonshine

right im away to build a snowman with the missus :weed:

mr west · Feb 3, 2009

hope u take a pic of ya snowman Don. I jus ad a visit from the meter reader dude, my meters are behind my kitchen door oposite my veg room. Had to quickly turn of my veg room light so he didnt spot them light leak lol. I freakin hate bugs and mites man hopoe u killed em all. Tesyer buds are cool but always i find a little disapointing.

oi oi westy

yeah i took a couple of photos! lucky i did the toe rag charvers round my estate smashed them to bits within an hour :finger:

the missus made a cat it was loads of fun, i even made a new friend, this eastern european bloke came over totally impressed n asked if id mind waiting for him to come back with his camera so he could send a pic back home, bless him he came back with two choc mouses for me n the missus lol said his name was razor n if i ever forget the name just think * he lifted his arm and made the motions of shaving it* i nearly fell down laughing.

close call with the gas man!! i dont answer my door to anyone that is unnexpected, im moving in with the missus end of march and im putting a doorbell inside the letterbox, anyone who knocks doesnt get an answer!

thankfully the mites were isolated to the moonshine id already isolated cos it was hermied n yeah the bleach totally fucked them up!! haha

the tester stuff from the water cure lost pretty much all of its smell and shrunk it, i doubt ill do any more, but it did give me a good buzz, im cropping the biaaatch tonight so there'll be pics the morrow!

mr west · Feb 3, 2009

wicked lol. Random friend making in the snow lol. Bastad kids lol

Don Gin and Ton · Feb 4, 2009

chopped her down last night n the strangest thing happened well not exactly but me n my pal were shocked. we were trimming off the leaves n noticed this sticky goo stuff on our fingers... it was only resin like frickin moutains of the stuff the plant was bleeding it, it tasted like honey it was so sweet.

dont think therell be much of a yeild its mostly popcorny buds but there are a few really dense hard buds :bigjoint:

the hindu kush is no where near finnished yet not a single pistol has turned colour but it is packing crystal and smells like really good hash
