Closet Grow gotFondue

I posted the images this way because it takes so long to upload them through the forums.

This is just all 4 of my girls.


This is one of my little flowers.


I am pretty sure I don't have to put a caption on all my pictures you all know what you are looking at haha!

So here are the rest of them.


What should I do about the drooping is that over watered? Or is that under watered?






















This is what I am using now.





I am also going to start using this in my water. I do not use tap water I distilled water.

easy dude them laidies are looking sweet, nice green and healthy as for the tiny bit of yellow iw ould not worry to much about that unless it starts spreading out quickly, but can i ask are the leaves turning up in the middle like a v shape and just the tips are turning brown and then yellow cannot quite see if you can get a better pic i could see what it is, what week into flower are you by the way as it maybe athe plant telling you it needs some pk......
well done dude keep up the good work.

What do you mean? Which picture are you talking about?

the 3rd from the bottom, its nothing to worry about !!!!! what week into flower are you?

I think I am like a week and a half into flowering. I was out of town when they started to show flowers. The third from the bottom is not turning like a V and the tips are not turning up or down. Except now I have another problem almost all of my plants are wilting except for one. The rest are all showing some drooping. I know that it wasn't over watering since I didn't water them for two days and the drooping got worse. Here is a picture of some of the more extreme drooping.



Here is the same plant but the top of the girl.


Btw that leaf in the middle of this picture or right above this arrow ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ is the same leaf that you were asking about earlier.

Alright so I just check the Ph of the soil and it was about 3 or 4 what should I do? I will search the forums to find out how to raise the Ph to about 5.7 or 6.3 something about there.

Oh my god. There is ur problem! 4? Get some ph up or something. I personally would go as far as transplanting and knockin all that bad soil off the roots. But since ur new to this I wouldn't reccomend that. What soil are u using? That's insanely low. How hard were u hitting them with the superthrive? Its goooooddd shit but its strong. I will say aside from this little downfall (I think it happend to everyone in there first few grows) u did amazing for ur situation until this they looked gorgeous. Definetly get that ph way up thoug. 6.0-6.8 would be ideal but starting at four they might be finished or dead before u get the ph back up there. Idk

What I did was I pulled them out of their pots and removed as much soil as I could, which was about an inch and a half from the top layers and some around the bottom. That seemed to help a lot they got pretty perky real fast. I also added some dolomite lime to it. The one that is the worst is the smaller pot one. After I removed the top layer of dirt and some off the bottom I added some fresh new soil, Roots Organics is the type of soil I am using btw. Then I watered them a little and kept them in the sunlight outside for about an hour and a half or two hours. The little one which is the worst of the three is still in the sunlight my neighbor is going to keep an eye on it for a while, while I am out of the house today. Well I will also post a picture of some of the roots when I get a chance, they look super white and fluffy, and almost like its root bound.

So this morning I woke up I know I lost one of the girls. The weak one, the smallest one that I thought was a goner right away. I am going to pull her out and use her pot to put another clone. I will go looking for a new one today. Anyone have any strain suggestions, I want to pick a good one. This will be the last clone I buy for soil grow as my next grow will be hydro.

Jeez looking at the pictures and then looking at the plants there is a huge difference in the look. You guys haven't seen how bad the droop has gotten. I think it was a combination of problems, I think it was an N toxicity and a pH problem for me. I fig it out this morning looking at how bad they had gotten so I flushed them for about 30 min, I will post some pictures up of the two girls that are still fighting. They almost look like they are dead but I know they are alive and I know I can save them. They are still in good health now that I caught it and am working on them.


Just going to find a clone now I will post pictures of her when I get back.

Yo man.
I am using the same Botanicare nutes, did you get the whole family or just the gro? Definatley get the rest of the botanicare line, the chart telling how to mix them, and some PH up and PH down. I use mad farmer up and down, but get whatever you can...
As for water... I mix 3/4 distilled water with 1/4 tap water and let it sit for at least 24 hrs before watering, in a 5 gal bucket with air stones from a fish tank to add extra oxygen. Use the ph up down AFTER adding your nutrients so you only balance your water once and keep your ppm down.
I use a soil mositure/ph meter from a hydroponics shop that was 10$ until I can afford the 150$ one.. This will help with your 'too much too little' water questions and balance your ph at the same time.

Have you added ventilation yet? You definatley need to cool the 400w HPS.. I have a 4" inline fan, flanges on my hood, and glass that keeps the heat inside. It gets sucked through a charcoal can filter by the inline fan and pushed out a nearby window if you can, or at least out of your closet... Throughout your journal it looked a bit too hot and like they wanted fresh air and some co2. Remember plants can use 5x the amount of co2 typically occurring in the air during their light cycle, but adding it without good circulation within the space it self, new air coming in, and heat being sucked out, it won't get to the leaves that are asking for it..

Did I read that you went from 18/6 to 24/0 at one point? Personally I'd suggest 18/6 so you can keep the plants hormones in check for when you go into flower.. But its each their own..

Yeah mcone, I did go 18/6 to 24/0. I only have the flowering and veg nutes right now. I just got back from buying a new clone, I got a bubba master clone. I put her in a shot glass for the time being, thinking about doing fdd's contest with the best shotglass grow. I don't know yet tho. Also, I am not going to give up on the plant I think is dead she seems to moist to be dead and the two sick plants are showing new growth, as well as new flowers. So everything is turning out good right now, I will update more later on tonight, blunt time.

I wouldn't play into a contest and grow it in a shot glass, I'd grow it as big as you can given your space. But that is just one approach

Well for now I am going to grow it in there till I see more roots through the rockwool. I added some Root Take to the rockwool just now and have it sitting in the middle of the plants getting lots of light. I pruned most of the dying leafs off of all my plants hopping to get some light to the inner new growth. I will post up some pictures when I get home today. BBQ time.

Hey anyone have any good suggestions on how to use Earth Juice Microblast? Should I mix it in a gallon of water? It has no mixing instructions on the bottle I have done some searching can't find anything that explains it. I think I just might be too high for this right now haha!


WOW!

I think I am retarded within 10 seconds of posting this i looked at the bottle again and noticed it says in bright blue writing "General rates per gallon of water."

FML.

Alright so today I transplanted all of my girls into nice 12 inch pots. The one healthy girl that wasn't hurt by any pH problems also got put into a 12 inch pot. She was in I think a 6 or 8 inch pot. She will probably explode with growth over the next few days. They are going to be left outside during the day to get as much sunlight as possible and then brought inside and put under my 400W HPS during the nighttime. I am trying to get them super healthy again and not sickly looking. Here is some flowerporn for you guys.

I should also mention that I added some Kellogg fertilizer to the soil before the transplant trying to get the roots growing into the new soil to help fight the N toxicity and the pH faux up.

So I was out buying some weed today at the various clinics and I decided to buy a new clone. I bought a Purple X OG clone, she looked very healthy white fluffy roots trying to escape the rockwool. I put her with her sisters already. They are under the 400W right now with two fans on them at 73 degrees.

Let's see some pics of the new lady

I have two new ladies, I will post some pictures up of my new "temporary" setup. It is pretty nice and should do well for the intensive care over the next 2 and a half weeks. I am going out right now to take pictures.
