Lower light or raise babies?

So many views yet so little opionions. Im over it.

Lets see if i can bump this and wake up to some opinions and views in the morning.

Keep it up dont quit. Looks like those plants really pulled through. based on those first pics I was like "holy shit" haha. Marijuana is pretty resilient and it wants to grow as you can see. If I could suggest anything it would be to start off in smaller pots and work your way up once or twice. Not only would you be saving soil but you can get more direct light on the plants if they are closer together. The closer the light the better, but your growing with an MH so heat would be an issue. I grow with CFL'S and until My grows get really big I will probably keep using CFL's. Its important that you ventilate the room. Make sure you replace the old air with fresh air rather than just blowing the same air all around. Temps and ventilation are cruicial, what are your temps running at for the most part? I'd say they look a little heat stressed, not to bad but I can tell. You can add some co2 to your room to help out if your temps/ventilation is a problem..

But for the most part I'd say they look ok. Props for reviving those plants, they looked bad

Bump this. any answers to my last post?

Try pinching the larger one dude. If you only crush the stem slightly from each side you bend the top without breaking it around and away from the lower nodes. It causes less stress, you get more bushy growth and you get to keep your main growing tip. Do a you tube search on pinching and you will see what I mean. I would be a bit worried about your 1/2/3 fingered leaves though.

what does the 1 and 3 finger elaves mean? thanks in advance

I Just pinched my big girl. Looked like a good idea. Lets see how it looks in a few days. I think i did it right but idk. Somebody tell me if i did it right please.







Before Pinching

Clearer Close-up Picture.

the big girl is liking that 400w.... FYI-
next time- amending your soil with some bonemeal will solve your phos def.... (rust spots). you can still do it this time, by mixing a skimpy/small tablespoon of the stuff in to the top layer of the soil and letting the girls veg for awhile to soak it up. it takes awhile for the bonemeal to decompose so that the P is available to the plant.
+rep for bringing them back from the dead and not giving up

ps-
if the big lady starts to stand back up even after u pinched her, just tie it down you will be in for a decent surprise come flowering! i see she is spitting out preflowers all over...

Yeah when i got her shew was so tall and skinny now shes like WHOA. Lol. Im going to pick up some bonemeal asap. Should i put in all the pots or just the big girl? thanks for the rep. theses are my first girls they mean a lot to me. I wont give up until they do, or they durn to trannys on me. lol. Yah im hoping this pinch wasnt a bad idea. I was told my leaves look bad.. What do you think?

Okay so last night we came to the conclusion that i broke the stem and i should try to to her up. So thats what i did. i feel bad for hurting her in that way. some advice ill post a pic when lights come on.

bonemeal. what is it and where do i find it? My dumass went to home depot looking for it. Should i go to a hydro store or do they have it at places like home depot?

Soem updated pics. Looking for a remedy for the white spots and rust spots. Is This a cause of Heat Stress?

I was told that the white spots are due to mites. i ahte bugs i really do. Well i am unable to make it to the hydro store so ive used a dilution of about 50/50 alcohol and water. The alcohol is 50% btw. i was reading upon this and said it works and isnt very harmful to the plants. Should i continue to use this dilution until i can get flora mite from the hydro store? any advice is apreciated. and another thing. how long should it take for the white spots to start to disappear after a solution to the problem has been found? Please somebody help me. Seems most of my questions are diesregarded and im stuck googling and guessing.

Thanks for the reply. That makes me feel pretty good about myself. Tell me how this rep stuff works and ill help you out. The temps are always pretty high. I keep the door open throughout the day when im home so it stays n the mid 80s but when the doors closed it get up to 100. What are signss of heat stress? I am currently finishing the ventilation, just waiting for my ducting. Should i have a blower blowing fresh air in at the bottom and one blowing out at the top? or whats the most effecient way to do this? Also, When i transplanted them from the cups the roots were growing out of the soil.Thats why i just moved them into huge pots. As for co2 i sometimes burn a candle in the closet but im not a big fan of this. Is it even worth the risk? And thanks man i tryed those are my babies and honestly they looked way worse at one pooint i never took pix of them but yeah they are doing great. I just pruned the dying leaves of the big one. Should i Top her? Thanks again bigDawg. Anyone else with advice? Im open to any opinions and views.

If you look at the top right hand corner of each post you will see a little white flower looking thing or scale, click that and you can add REP.

Yeah, your temps are a little high. Heat stress may show itself by the plants wilting and slow growth. Just do the best you can. I dont think it matters whether you blow in from the bottom and out the top (or vise versa) but if you just get fresh air in and blow the old air out, you'll notice the plants looking happier. do this as much as possible during the day (lights on) and dont worry about it so much during the night. Yeah man, never heard of lighting a candle to get c02 thats ridiculous lol. Check out the DIY home made co2 guide let me know if you cant find it. You simply mix sugar with active yeast and water in a a bottle, shake it up, and you will get c02. Kind of a pain in the ass but it wont hurt to add some c02. Also you dont need to vent as much if you add a good amount of co2 but just read a little and experiment for yourself.. You'll figure shit out

Thanx big Dawg. Adding Rep right after post. The babies are looking good and still have not fixed the heat issue but i think they are doing good without co2. I give them plenty of ventilation during the day. I actually leave the door open most of the day, with a fan blowing out. Thanks again bro.
