New to this

hi all,just joined rollitup as i have some probs with my 1st ever grow,but rather than bore yous with explaining it all i was wondering if i could just upload some fotos as i think seeing the problem is better than reading about it,hope some1 can help

post them you will get help all u gotta do explain your prob man lol i like to read through a bunch of stuff so u can explain and bore away

I am in agreement. I have to type, and everyone on here likes to read what everyone else is doing, so load up photos AND give us a description of what is going on. Even post what you think the problem is. I have had zero negative feedback or criticism here, so do it up.

thanks guys am off 2 take some fotos....

the problem i have is yellow/brown leaves on my plants (which i have been cutting off),just wondered what am doing wrong thats causing this??

my set up is

2 x 300watt cfls on 18/6,i have 3 fans in operation,the 1st blows fresh air in,the 2nd extracts hot air out and the 3rd is an oscillating fan over the plants,i am using canna vega which is pumped in 3 times a day thru my own homemade system (25 litre container with top cut off and submersible aqua pump fitted inside)

also i have 2 plants now that are 12" tall and have been growing since january and was wondering if its time to flower them (still to make flowering room)

Based on what I am checking out in the horticulture MMJ bible by Mr. Jorge Cervantes, looks like you may have a potassium or magnesium deficiency. I'm not quite positive. I haven't had too many issues with my leaves turning colors or anything like that. Had a really really small pest problem, but took care of that instantly, and everything is all good now. As for your flowering...I asked about this just the other day. I have been informed that if headroom for the plants is an issue, go ahead and start the flowering cycle, since the plants will double or even triple in height. However, if you have some headroom, go ahead and wait for preflowers to show. Unless they are all feminised, then you should have no problem. I started mine the other day and they were sprouted in mid february. I'm a new grower too...so I'm just passing along info that I recieved. I did just have a thought...I did have some yellowing leaves at the very start of my grow...shrinking...I think it was heat stress, because I moved the light up, opened up the room a little bit to get some nice fresh air in, and they popped right back into shape less than a week later. So check on your lights as well. If anyone agrees or disagrees, let us know. Besides that, everything looks great man. Keep it up.

i agree, normally when you see that its caused by a nutrient diffenciey one thing andrew didnt add was along with magnesium and sulpher , phosper diffenciey can also cause that i would check my ppm level and try addind fresh water beacause from the picture it dosent really look like the light are causing it , ...i definately think its chemical

also guys there a free movie site call letmewatchthis.com go there type in seemorebuds and all of his instructional videos will come up and you can watch them free.any where else hes selling the dvd, this guys awesome he helped me a lot and he keeps it simple

1st of all thanks for the replies guys,i was thinking it may be the water/nute but was not sure if they were too strong or too weak,anyway am gonna flush out and change water and try stronger mixture next time,al let yous now how i get on,thanks again

good lookin out mr sess. And you guys are totally my friends now. Feels nice to know someone that knows what I'm going through. I induced mine to flower 5 days ago...no 6 now I think. They stretched a bit...lowered they light so hopefully that helps. I think I might have had it about 6 inches too high. I'm only rocking 400w, so it's not like it has to be a foot and a half away. Am I right?

no problem bro these covo's help me too... itz one thing i love better than smoking good bud is making good bud. but, about youre question a rule of thumb that i use is how ever far i can keep my hand under a lamp with out burning myself then thats where i wanna have my plants if youre hands willl burn then so will youre plants.....for every inch you get youre light an inch bigger in diameter youre buds will be ....and every foot youre plants are away from youre light it looses half its power

hi guys,just a wee update on my plants,still got some probs tho,as u'll see from the picture of plant on its own

I had a simular prob with one of my first grows but it wasnt an under nute. It was an over nute. I was hitting the drip feed too strongly when they where too young to handle it.... nearly did em in but caught it in time thx to help from the guys on here.

god i was gonna up the watering to 5 times a day for 4 mins at a time,as i thought it lookd like lack of nutrients,its probably safer to half the nutrient solution 1st now a think,dont want to waste them as there in 2nd week of flowering now

Looking good man, but are you going to keep them in that little box? How tall are they and are they flowering? If not, just be careful of it...I started the 12/12 cycle and I have 3 plants over 3 feet tall so far and the rest are about a foot under them...different strains obviously, but they will get pretty tall man. Just something to think about.

lol,holyshit i never even thought bout that,if they get too big then i will just have to raise height of my cubicle,i was gonna "top" them after 2-3 weeks any way,but dunno if that will help situ?,yes i am now 9 days into flowering,but have noticed 2 of them aint females (no hairs yet) so looks like my overall bud bounty wont be as much as i thought!,plants are recovering not too badly after there roasting i gave them (thank fuck),post another few fotos in couple of weeks

Don't be too hasty to pull them! Males usually flower up before females. I had a couple start flowering about a week after the others, and it took more than 9 days for all of mine to even preflower, so don't fret too much yet. I also wasn't thinking about head room for them either. It was brought to my attention. Mine CLIMBED like 2 feet in just 3 weeks. Some are waist high, and 3 are up to my chest...I'm 6'1 so they are pretty big. Almost 4 ft I guess. I haven't done any topping or anything yet. Well, besides the top I broke off a few days ago on accident. That is for next round, which I'm starting up in the next couple weeks.

That first plant looked like it's not getting enough Nitrogen man!

Hello all
