Okey Dokey

actually the "K" stands for Potassium, but thats beside the point. Sounds like you know what you're doing there Platypus, keep up the hard work and it will pay off.

Yeah...I am using off brand organinc grow nutes at 24/8/16, and I already bought flowering nutes, that are 15/30/15. I have spent alot of time in research and am fairly sure I am doing the feeding ok, just have a few questions sometimes that I can't find the answers to, or am too stoned to find the answers to. I appreciate all your guys help. Thanks for the props johndoh...I feel like I have prepared myself for this fairly well. Actually, what I thought was a nute deficiency was heat stress. The MH light was too close (10" from tops) and I moved it to 17", and am already (15 hours) seeing some improvement. I wish I had waited until I had my new lights to grow these plants, and had gone and bought soil instead of growing them in the MG African Violet soil I had in the house (I grow various house plants and have for years). I wonder if transplanting them this late im the game to some Fox Farm soil would be prudent....I finally found a store close by that can get it for me. Anyway....thanks again all.

So....came home today and things were nutz. Last night I moved the MH light to 17" from plant tops, due to some heat stress, and today the top leaves on the biggest plant pretty well filled in, and oh yeah...heat stress. The light after 15 hours was only 14" from tops....3" today in growth!! So, I moved it to 24" away and misted the top leaves with aged h20. Then I saw that my temp had gone up to 88!! SO...I added a second exhaust fan to optimize airflow. Hoping it'll drop again...man. ALSO....humidity had been steady at 40ish....was at 25%. So, turned humidifier on and already up to 33%. Wow....learning alot today. Also, got my seeds from 420-seeds today...fast & stealth from the UK. Ice, WW, N, Lights, Orange Bud...10 seeds each I ordered....extra bag with 5 extra seeds...site says Red Shiva are free 5 with evey order. Going to germ them in rockwool. Will start a new journal later tonight of the next gro.
Peace!

Took some new pics today. You can see the heat burn well on the largest plant. I fixed the situation. But look at the previous post with pics and see how much she has grown in just 48 hours under the MH lights.....anyone needing to see how much a difference lighting makes see these pics. 3 weeks fluorescent tubes.....see prior post pics. 48 hours later under MH...see these...WOW!!! Also, my little one who has not been able to stand without a crutch grew up so strong in the past 24 that the tie sluffed off her stem, and she can stand on her own.....but I'll leave her stick just in case!

hey..lookin good..your biggest plan is about the same size as one of mine..i will use it to compare growth..

Excellent looking plant, grodro...mine are about the same age......but bagseeds sprouted under flouros in less than optimum enviroment.......they are in a good home now!!!

Going to 86 this journal......got my good seeds and all 10 sprouted...so I am going to give these plants to my amigo, and devote all my research to growin from what I believe is a guaranteed good strain.

cant wait sounds like a good mix of strains.

hi platy i think you may have shocked your plants when you potted your seedlings, the soil you used has nuets in it i use levingtons seed & cutting soil no nuets in soil and no nuets in feed for 4 weeks then small amount of nuets as you already know nothing you can do now unerless some one has any thoughts you should be OK but this may have effect on growth speed
how are the plants today now you have light information some pics please
(how is over nueted doing) = flush flush flush
