Thanks you for your effort in keeping us pics TK! : )

As for your girl. She's looking overall heathly. Not to sure about the purpling on the leafs and stems, The only thing I can think of is its a bit cold in there.

The brown spots on the lowers, I wouldint worry about. May just be the way of life. Their older leaves and they need to be shed. : /


Keep us updated, And still watch her close!

The new growth being yellow and the purps looks like temp change too cold when lights are off. If you can keep the roots warmer, the plant will be able to take cooler temps than it otherwise could.

it coul dbe because my soil wont drain with to much water in it, and ya the temp the last few nights have been pretty cold. i need to figure out a way to get that room warmer at night. DAMN IT. im transplanting tonight for sure. should i flush befor ei transplant just to help with any nutrient lock it might be having from high PH etc...

OK so i am in the process of transplanting right now.i am soaking the CoCo i bought right now, i am also adding a bunch of perlite, and top soil, and tossing in some Blood/bone Meal mix its a 7-7-0 mix only like a teaspoon or something in a 5 gallon pot. the coco needs to sit in water for an hour. then i have to drain the water. really looking forward to this new mix. i hope it works out

I would have posted picutres of the root ball and everything man, but my camera battery was dead when i went to use it. i just have the battery onthe charger. im starting to wish i woul dhave rinsed the root ball / soil with water before i put it int he new mix so i could have put more new soil in. a few of the roots broke when i did it as well. nothing major though. i just put the roots in there so it has some food while it decomposses.

ive learned so much this grow! next grow is going to go wayyy different!

i did transplant. problem is the root were everywhere, i went from a 3 gallon to a 5 gallon. so ther eis room for the roots to grow, just the root mass was blocking the wholes of my last pot. so now it has some room to grow down a bit and i have alot of perlite at the bottom so it will drain much better

yo TK, i seen your post on you cant find a socket to support the 1000W HPS?, you need a ballast. they dont work in your normal light socket sadly :( but yeah, and the ballasts cost alot too so lol. i was just gonna let you know that :P

ya i get the names confused as a CFL has the ballast attached and screws into a socket. but ya it would be awesome if i could find a good deal on one
