Sick Mkage


SSH x C99

Buddha Tahoe OG

Colombian Gold #1


Colombian Gold #2

El Alquimista

Lavender





What can I do about this little Mkage?? I really want her to survive, but Idk what to do. I put her in the 2:1 FFoF:Light Warrior and she wilted almost immediately. I pulled her and her rockwool cube out of the dirt, rinsed her w/ RO water, and gave her a little PH balanced water with a drop of superthrive. She's just chillin all alone right now. Idk how to help her... I'm thinking about putting her in the Light Warrior tonight and hopefully she'll come back. She's been like this for a few days now :/

Bottom pics are taken with the white lights only. It's pretty cool that it has a switch for viewing your plants under regular lighting. These sexy bitches are growing faster than I expected. I was planning on waiting till' the older ladies showed sex, but they're taking their sweet ass time and I don't want them through my roof. I'll probably switch them by Friday if I don't see signs of sex before that.

What would YOU do if you were me? I'm getting frustrated. I was really hoping they'd be showing signs of sex by now. This is fukin' up my planz. The three that are already vegged out are ready for flowering, but idk how many are girls. 2 of them coming back female would be ideal, but if all three are girls, I'm fucked space-wise. If only 1 or none come back girls, I have too much space and either way, I was hoping the younger plants (Lavender, SSHxc99 x2, & El Alquimista) would be at least a foot before putting em' in flower.

Idk. I guess I'm puttin em' in flower tonight or tomorrow. Last day of veg for the ladies!! Unless, of course, I've got too many males and re-veg them.

Not showing pre-flowers yet huh.........People are not going to agree about my advice , but I would lower your N levels and decrease the blue knob/keep the red cranked. they will stretch but it "should" hasten the male/female signs......once sexed raise the N back and turn the blue up again, don't want that CG to get crazy this early....

be safe grower

It's a girl! As of yesterday, Buddha Tahoe OG began showing pistils. I got soooooooo high over the weekend. I smoked up some fat bowls of keif and, as some of you may know, I was a heyron addict for a few years and spent the last couple years trying to get off that shit. Methadone worked, but I'm trying to get off that shit and it sucks, too. I never knew not taking a drug could be so bad. FML. Anyone else take methadone? I'd been @ ~170mg/day for about a year, but I went down to 140 (-5/2weeks) and it's been quite unpleasant, but I swear I get like 3x as high when I'm having acute withdrawals. Heroin is bad mmmkay. Definitely one my worst ideas, ever.

Come to find out, California Light Works' 800w Solar Storm has a better PAR output than my 600w Lumigrow PRO which really makes me mad that I didn't know this. I mean, I love being able to adjust my spectrum with knobs, but the UVB, extra 90 watts (actual draw is 690w on the 800), and the savings make it sound very desirable. I have that POS ufo on the Tahoe OG and I think I'm about to buy the 400w solar storm for some added coverage and to get that fukin UFO outta there. I'll bet it's doing more harm than good.

I can't decide between these. I really can't...

Lookin good man! But remember-SAFETY FIRST!!! If you haven't already, get that power strip off the floor(!!!), that's just asking for trouble. Also get the air pump above the water level of your buckets, they've been known to back siphon all the water out of the buckets onto the floor on occasion (you know-the floor where your power strip is!!!). Not trying to sound like a douche but just looking at that set-up make me nervous and I'd hate to hear something bad happened when it's sooo easy to prevent with a couple bungee straps. Be safe man, and happy harvests!

^^^ I know, I know. I promise I'll get that done before the weekend and you don't sound like a douche. I appreciate your concern. The big air pump is running outside the tent because it's hot as fuck, but I do remember that happening to me on my first grow, so I suspended it ~3ft off the ground. I need to figure out a way to get the little one up there, too, but I hadn't worried about it because I was gonna get a bigger one. I went ahead and bought that 400w Solar Storm, so I'll work on getting that little pump up in the air since it'll be around for a while longer.

Mkay, I got the pump off the ground, but getting the power strip is another story. When I tried to lift it, I found that it's tangled and some of the cords that are plugged into it are preventing it from being lifted. Now, I realize that's no excuse, but I need to get some more dinero so I can fabricate a fix for this. Anyone have a suggestion? Keep in mind I can't get to the outlet where the strip's plugged in.

Update Pics!! I only wish they'd hurry up and show their friggin' sex already.. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Stupid fucking bitch wanted to be a man. Just so the other ladies didn't get any ideas, I made an example out of that boy by cutting him down and mashing him into a bowl of nasty green sludge juice and drank it in front of them. Supposed to be good for ya, so I killed 2 birds with one stone. I'm a firm believer that these plants have some sort of emotions. They are ALIVE after all. I decided to scrog Colombian Gold #2. I wanted to compare supercropping and topping the shit out of em' to topping and scrogging, but the scrogged CG #1 is the obvious winner at this point, so in hopes of gaining some bud sites, I weaved CG #2 into one, too. This definitely stressed her the fuck out and I'm sure seeing her roommate get murdered didn't help.


On a lighter note, the 400w Solar Storm came in and that's pretty cool.

What do you do when your room consumes too many amps for your breaker??
Click to expand...
It takes some planning but you're supposed to call an electrician and have them wire up that area with enough amps to run all your stuff before you set your grow up. I suppose you could break it down and have one come in and rewire stuff for you. They'll be done in a day.

Get a bigger breaker and make sure the wire your using is rated for the amount of power running through them(along with the Plugs power ratings)

Fuck. Well, thanks for the info. Neither of those are really options bc I'm living in an apartment complex, so I can't really just re-wire shit. I was hoping I could just replace the individual breaker for that room, but that's not looking practical. FML. I guess I'm just gonna have to go without :(


I'd also really like to mention this 400w Solar Storm runs at least twice as hot as my 650w Lumigrow Pro. It's pretty damn ridiculous... My room went from an average of 80F to 92F and I have a 12,000 btu fan set on 60F and the max output. All I can think to do is exchange the air 4 times a day instead of 1. Hopefully that helps.
