Masta's Ghetto Buds 2

Aaaahh now there we go! Been waiting for these all day. They look great btw.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I believe your plants might be suffering from a very MINOR npk def.
I only say this because your stems look very red to me, and that is a small symptom before it worsens.
See if they will enjoy some more food maybe?
I could also be completely wrong because your leaves look healthier than fuck, so great job on that.
Ttyl bro

Duece.

you could be right but the purple stems have been there this entire grow. i am inclined to believe it is from the nightime dark temps being too low and being more than 20 degrees cooler than with lights on. also nutes have been readily available. the soil has nutes along with the perlite lol. i feed 2 tsp of tiger bloom and 1 tbls of big bloom to a gallon of water 2x a week. along with mollases with waterings. you could be right though, i am also suspecting maybe a slight ph issue. my ph meter sucks so within the next few days i will have to get something to check it more accurately. thanks for stopping by and the info.

Wow 20 degree temperature drop? That's pretty big, I agree it could be that as well.
Or who knows, maybe the plant just enjoys having vibrant purple stems lol.
Either way, keep up the grow!

lol thank you bro. i do have some light spotting and discoloration on some of the lower leaves. i am thinking maybe when i add the fox farms it is lowering my ph too much. since my meter is not accurate i will try to get a cheap ph test kit maybe tomorrow. also maybe the fox farms have made some salt buildup. i will give them a good flush tomorrow. things are going a little slower than i would like with them right now but i have only had the good bloom ferts for 2 weeks and the bright halide bulb for 3-4 days. so hopefully within the next few weeks they will pick up. i do appreciate your advice and support as always uberpea. in the end i hope to have some nice buds to show you guys.

i think i have 11 cfl's. most are 42w with a few 26w thrown in the mix too. i have them on y splitters focused around the tops of the 6 girls. about 8-10 inches above them i have the 175w mh in the middle of all of them. every day i move them around after 6 hours so they each get optimal lighting right under the halide. thanks for the compliment and i will keep watching your great growing too.

lookin good MK!!! i await new pics !!lol

i have 11 because i had most of them from last grow. they are 2700k spectrum. i think i need more to help with side lighting but i guess these will have to do, plus i only have a few more weeks left. i hear you on the cash thing. the corporate nazis laid me off because of my health problems. i know a little over a hundred dollars is not much to pay to have 400w hps shipped but i lost thousands on my monthly pay. i am barely scraping by on my unemployment.

Nice looking plants mastakoosh!

the red stems seem to be not as dark as they were. the night time temps still get cool here but the last few nights have been pretty warm. i did up their feed just a bit last feeding(right before you guys said to up them lol), maybe we are all on the same page haha. i am gonna up them just a bit more for the next few feedings and then all water from there on. they did respond well to their nutes and i saw new white pistils shoot up. hey lacy i am gonna try my hand at outdoor probably. i grew one plant outdoors last year but brought in to flower out of paranoia. man some outdoor monsters or buds like you grew lacy would be awesome. my friend has some good private land and we may work together on an outdoor project. he is the only one that knows about my indoor grow and he loaned me my halide light. i am a loner when it comes to growing though so i am apprehensive about a growing partner.

Happy 420 Masta, Hope you are smoking your fine buds today.
