Dr120 First Real Grow. Lots of Question.

oh yeah, my white widow has no space in between nodes. is that good or bad cause my big bang is a little spacey.

so here is an update for march 19. they are getting bigger and bigger every day. there are always new sets of leave that come in every morning if not the next morning. i fed them 1/2 strength of Distilled water with iguana grow and at a ph of around 6.0 to 6.5. there is no yellowing and they are all a lushes green. please let me know what yall think.

Lookin good! Looks like its gettin close to time to repot em. Short node spacing is good... no, GREAT! U don't want long lanky, stretched out plants. U want em just like those. Keep it up, and don't let ur boy smoke it all up lol.... puff puff pass.... i just quit smokin yesterday

sorry, no pics today. but let me tell yall what happen when i went in my room. my white widow got a little burn from touching the lights and i had to move them up. thank god is was only a little burn. second. my plants were so thirsty that they were so droopy. i was afraid to touch them. so i watered them with half nutes and the little one with regular ph water. as i watered them, i took off the cup from the bottom of the plant that holds the run off water and realize that there was little larva in the water. i quickly threw it down the drain and rinsed with hot hot water. Then notice that my first set of leave just faded into a yellowish color over night. i figured its cause i didn't water them. after that i saw that some roots were hanging out of the holes from the bottom of the cups. i guess that is time to transplant.

Cause of yellow leave= was it cause i didnt water them and they were realy thirsty?

Why was there larva in the run off water?

When i transplant, do i leave the root ball the way it is or do i break it up.

HELP PLEASE!!!! ASAP!!!!

Yellow leaves could be a lot of things really. But from ur description, Sounds like it was from being rootbound, or maybe from the root sticking out getting light on it. Roots are like vampires, they don't care for light too much if u know what im sayin. Transplant- leavethe rootball alone, but break up the dirt just a bit to soften it for the transplant.

is it normal for a week old seedling to have a 2 inch root hanging out of the bottom of the cup. it just got its first set of leaves. i am growing that one for my girls little bro. and that fucker is growing better than all of mine. i am jelous.

All right guys and girls, today was transplant day and i got my big 4 gallon pots in. i quickly went to the hydro store and grabbed two bags of FF ocean forest soil and started to proceed with transplanting. Everything went well but me cause i am out of shape and i was sweating like crazy. also My El Nino was hard because it was like the others and i figured maybe it was to early to transplant but the roots were sticking out of the cup so that must have ment it was ready right. You tell me, you can see it in the pic. also one of my leaf that turned yellow has a black spot on it. what is that, can any one tell me. look at the yellow leaves is that normal.
On the plus side, my room looks really sexy.

Hurry, i need an answer. i watered my plants the day i transplanted and its going to rain hard today. should i leave my plants out in the rain for a bit. i herd that rain water is the best water.

Finally, i got myself a new light. i got a 400w galaxy system with a yield master II reflector. i will post pics as soon has i set it up. wish me luck.

so i am fuckin frustrated because of that light i bought. i plugged everything in and was so excited about the light before i plugged it into the wall. finally after i plugged it in the fuckin thing didn't tune on and the ballast didn't make any noise so i waited and the ballast just got hot. what is wrong with this light.

So here is the update of my babies. they are looking pretty good. going to by a soil ph tester today and then water them if needed. so you can so before and after pic because i decided to LST them today. it was interesting. so leave plenty of comments and feed back. tell me what looks good or what i am doing wrong or what i did wrong. thanks a bunch.

is it bad that i have not watered my plants since the day i transplanted. can some one tell me if its bad or not.

Click to expand...

When u transplant u wanna water em good right after....

Nice lil lst job u did there... u'll be amazed at all the new tops u get from it!!

HMMM.... must've lost this sub for a bit.... what happened with ur light?

well my ballast was a dud so i sent it back. i will be getting it next week. i used fishing line to tie down my babies but they keep picking up so i am using string now.

Fishin line's no good for tyin down plants, it can easily cut into the stems u have it tied to. A buddy of mine just found out the hard way, lol.... i tried to tell him.... but all it seemed to do was remind him that it was there and he starts crankin her down when i hear SNAP!.... shit! LOL>>

yeah, it wasnt very good. i am just using some purple thread right now. hope that is good

Ya know.... u said u were usin fishing line.... U wouldn't happen to have fly fishin line layin around do ya? It works great, and is actually made of pvc, super soft, and won't harm ur gals.
