Second mmj grow

jjmd said:

The plants are looking good. How much longer before you start your flowering cycle? my second grow had major issues with genetics so being able to get the clones you got make half the job easy. I have to guess all the time and hope.

im actually gonna start flowering tomorrow, and ya clones do make it much easier but mainly in the sexing area, they werent very healthy when i got them but they are now, and my only issue really is with one plant bein planted in very compacted soil

ok today my plant was lookin normal and then i watered it with almmost a whole gallon, and switched out my floero for my hps and now the newest leavse comin out are droopy, but mainly just the tops of all the growing shoots, did i over water thats the only thing i can think of,

Not too sure about your droopy leaves. If you have run off holes - overwatering shouldn't be the prob. When did you take the pic? before lights out or after lights out?

Personally I wouldn't run the 600 for 24 hours, I would have suggested staying with a combo of the HPS and fluro (if that was possible) then just hps after a week maybe?

I like the door pic, lol, looks like something from the Poltergeist film!!!

Hey bro, shit's looking nice! About the droopy leaves.. When I see the leaves on my plant droop it means it's time to water. And 15 min after I water all the leaves have perked back up! But you just said that you had just watered it and THEN that started happening hu? Not to sure about that then... And keep us updated with your flower pix. I'm the guy from the other thread "Calling all LSTer's" or something like that. We have very similar looking plants. and I just started flowering about 2week ago. I'm using CFL's the whole way through tho, so I'd really like to compare my results with yours. Of course your going to get a bigger better yield with your HPS as I'm only running on 208 CFL watts... It'd be interesting to see!

did you give up on the co2...did it work with jus a straw/tube hanging out...how long did your bubbles last and how often did you shake it...ive read the diy thread but dont want to use the valve so looking for other ideas...thanks..plants look awesome

those pics are so small cant tell wut we r lookin at

well im positiv it was over watering that caused the leafs to droop cuz today their back to normal, thank god, and my plants are on a 24 hour lights on right now and i cant use both bulbs at once, also i think im gonna veg for another week cuz i have to repot one of them cuz the soil is to compact so im gonna add alot of perlite and replant, so the guy at the hyfro store said to pull the plant out put in tub of room temp water and carfully remove most the dirt, and then put myycorhiznal all over the roots, and then put in new soil thats why im gonna veg for another week so it has time to recover, should i use the flouro again for the next week cuz im on a 24 hor lights on

no i didnt give up im still usin itand the straw works great, it bubbles by its self for about a week for me, and i only shook it when i went in an out of the room so id shake it to produce more co2 and then relase it in the room right before i go out so theirs a lil bit of a build up before i exit, and thanks for the compliment on the plants

just did the transplant and it was hard as fuck for me and the plant, the trash can is full of water wicth i soaked the plants old soil in to remove very gentley, the roots were only growing down the side of the pot none on the inside cuz it was to hard, i plantedin the same soil but half is perlite so way more aireated, it made a huge mess, i didnt loose many roots at all though, i sprinkled myycorhiznal on all the exposed roots and then planted and water with 1 gallon and 4 drops of superthive, we will see what it looks like tomorrow, and my other plant im pretty sure is a lil bit nute burnt on a couple of leaves cuz it was not their yesterday when i watered and now its their, but just some small burns, i am holding off flowering for a week also to ensure the transplanted plant is healthy

got some more pics the plant i repotted is a bit yellow but otherwise fine, the other plant just seems to be gettin bigger an bigger when its time to flower i think its gonna be a big plant, also when i flower should i untie some of the ties or leave them, theirs also a hoya plant under growin in their with my bitches

Fingers crossed for the transplant girl....have done the same a few days ago. You should be cool.

I normally take my ties off as I go along and reposition them where necessary. One I have the desired bent branch shape that is....

the plant i transplanted seems to be turnin very yellow i hope it rebounds if not all well my other plant should produce well

Yeh, some of the lower leaves on mine are turning (I think I mentioned I dropped the root ball of one of my plants)

Hope it bounces back!

here some pics of the sickly plant and its leaves an a few pics of the good plant, im devoteing most the light on the good one for now, als also i wont be takin pics till monday when i put in to flower, also my clone im tryin to clone with bricks napkin method i think i see 2 small roots forming,

based off the size of my leaves any have a clue to if its indica or sativa dominet, it looks to me like 50/50

thats a nice little bush there. shes gonna be sweet in a couple months. id give your transplant a wee bit of N. maybe just foliar feed even. light N. and remember - sometimes we just have to be patient and let our plants be plants.

thanks cashtree, yes it should be quite the plant once i flower, and i will be flowering either tommorow or the next day, and i was thinkin about adding n to the transplantedmone but the soil is still wet and dont want to water already wet soil

thanks cashtree ya my plant should exlpode here soon when i induce flowering with my 600 watt hps, and i cant water again with nutes i waterd it with haldf strength nutes and superthrive when transplanted so it has nutes, and the soil is still wet sio i wouldnt want to water any way

I would be leaning towards the Indica side by the looks of the leaves.
