blueberry kush, hindu skunk, green crack, others

yo guys i got my grow space set up and running. i shoved some clones in there and they're curling up at the tips at 400 ppm.

the setup:
-600 watt mh for now, 45 inches away from top of clay balls.
-82 degrees 30% humidity
-2 foot by 2 foot tray, flooding every 2 hours with 5.5 to 6 ph water with 1/4 tsp of floragrow, 1/4 tsp floramicro, 1/8 tsp flora bloom.
-15 gal reservoir
- ppm is around 480. too high?
- mylar is everywhere but waving around a bit


the big mama in the front on the right is blueberry kush. and the others in the pots are hindu kush, green crack, and there was one more, but they weren't labeled correctly so i'm still trying to guess.

i've been giving them more and more nutes and they show curling of the leaves. the leaves curl up, only the tallest big mama blueberry kush has the leaves swooping a bit. lots of the leaves show a little burning at the tips. the light is quite far, is this chemical burning or lack of something? when they curl up it's lack of right?

anyway the ones in the bags are the same as the ones in the pots, just smaller. i also have two planted in soil.

let me know what you guys think and what i should do about the curling leaves. they were put in a couple days ago so they could still be adjusting.

right now i'm just Leaving It the Fuck Alone but i'm scared i'm burning em with chems. any help would be great :D advice on how to grow maybe? like should i go scrog with all these weaving in and out? or should i just go lst?
anyway here's the long awaited pics :D

I would up the nutes to 600 ppm, just make sure you have the pH in check
They look hungry due to the pale yellow look of them, nice setup though

lol yep i had 1/4 tsp in there for the whole 15 gallons instead of 1/4 a tsp for each gallon hahaha

can i jack it up to 800 ppm while they're repairing themselves or is that risky? they still look hunger hurt :( how long until i should see repairing?

if it had a couple floods with some ridiculous ph like 12, would they die? i fixed it within 12 hours but it was flooding every hour with some crazy ph level. it's at 6 now. they'll be fine right?

I have never had it get that outta control so I wouldn't know
Just make sure it is under control at all times and you will not hurt your plants
Do you pH the rez before allowing the plants to be flooded?

i do that now lol, but no actually i did it a very stupid way heh. when i found out that there should be way more nutes flowing to them i make a cuncokshun in a half quart container of a bunch of general hydro advanced nutes and RO, and i just poured it in the tray of bags and pots when it was flooding it. i did a ph test right after that but it's one of those, 'take a sample and put some drops in it' indicators. so i saw that it was green and thought 'oh that's not too green.' then later i decided to bring the ph down to 6, which is supposed to show as a yellow result, with no green. For this 15 gal rez i put in over 50 drops of ph down. I donno if that's a lot but it seemed like a lot so it makes me think that the ph was very high.:wall: I'm pretty sure i'm at 6 or below now because the test fluid turns a nice solid urine color now :hump: with a hint of orange. i think i'll get a digital meter.

anyway



is 45 inches too far away? ppm is at 750 now. ph is under 6. water temp 70. air temp 80, 20-30%

Hey guys no update in a while but here's PICTURES :D

you guys remember blueberry kush mama? yeah this is what she looked like when she just came in,:spew:




and now she's growing up and adapting to my room, and i've had to do some LST on her. She grew to over 2 feet very fast and was way ahead so i had to do it. now her side branches are still doing better then the tops of others.

this is her in front, bent over backwards toward the orange pot. look at those sexy bud sites.:weed:


awwwwwwwww yeaaaaaah :hump:

looks like they're loving papa. i mist them every time i go in there with RO and they're at around 750 ppm sticking around a ph of 5.8. the 600w mh is lower now, at a generous 3 feet. I'm lowering it tonight to probably under 2 feet, maybe under a foot. right now i'm smokin on some grape ape, freakin purple, and it's some nugs are so damn crazy i almost suspect freezer burn.
lets see some more pics eh?

here's the whole tray when i pretty much just planted and was starving them all.



then i found out i was feeding them practically nothing. so a couple days later......




so that wasn't too bad, i was a bit happier. but the growth was still pretty slow, and i decided to lower the lights from a staggering 45'' by about a foot or a foot and a half.

after a couple days,


so now they're looking a lot better. and i'm lowering the light tonight like i said. it stays cool so i can do it :rolleyes:

here's what i suspect is green crack before i tied it down. All the plants in the pots are going through LST right now.



they're nice and bushy so i'm happy. i'll get some pics up soon of them tied down.

you guys should subscribe it looks like it's gonna be good :bigjoint:

here's a fuzzy close up of the mama


i just did some rotation so the littles get some more light attention because my hood sucks. any recommendations on nice hoods? i was thinking of finding a cone or bat wing hood since my perimeter is square.

let me know what you guys think :D

any questions??bongsmilie..:hump:

cut any branch or the top of the plant that has a leaf set and a bud site, I mean one that looks long enough basically to plant in a rapid rooter or whatever you use. As long as it comes from a female then you are ok. Where are those pics. If you are using gh then the ph should be ok most of the time as gh has buffers. Use the gh nute calcutalor too, I cant find the link it is on their home site. Also i use the gh hardwater system and regular tap and it works aweosme, I never even ph!

alright so like a side branch with a budding site, got it. well with this blue mama i think i'll do that. she's got 3 good ones coming up.
