haha lovin the bathtub shots! man im such a dope, should have done a bathtub video,
my last pineapple chunk turned into a fuckin white ghost. i had to leave for a few days and had my demented husband try to take care of her.
he did more damage in one day then i have ever seen in any plant in a 12 hour period in my life!
he fed her with molassas but added ph down. a deadly mix!!!! all her leaves shrived and turned white! even her trunk turned white.
i chopped her immediately and tryied to cut all the white burnt shit out of her. she is hanging to dry, massive yeild of toxic pineapple chunk.

hey serial violator, i believe the deadly mix was molassas and ph down ONLY. that was her last feed. she looked fine prior to that. no nutes were added with the molassas and ph down..... he was doing a flush with molassas and for some reason thought to add ph down . Ihave never heard of anyone doing that before. and now i no why . I would highly recommend NEVER EVER adding ph down with molassas.. its the only thing i can think of that cause this toxic problem. I had fed her her regualr food 2 days earlier and i know that feed did not do this.
I was so upset i did not take any photos of the damage, it was heartbreaking. all i wanted to cut it all out as soon as possible to pretend like it didnt happen.
peace bro..

What happened? I always use molasses and last grow I mixed molasses and my lemon juice and when I watered the plants within 10 minutes every one was totally curling the leaves up BAD... I did an emergency flush on all of them and within an hour they were fine again.

I use lemon juice all the time and it is fine.. I use molasses all the time and it is fine.. I know lemon juice isn't PH Down, but that shit was a poison mix too...

Hi, 1000 watts HPS grower here...

I'm starting my 2nd real indoor grow. First time around I vegged 4-6-weeks and flowered 7-10 weeks. Had my own White Rhino x Dutch Treat, Vanilla Kush and still have 3 Tangerine Dreams. I've cloned them and keeping them small under t5's until the big room is vacated. These were fimmed, so I will veg them and do a regular grow.

But the next one after that, I'm seriously thinking of going 12/12 from seeds. I have 2 VK fem seeds and 2 TD fem seeds that I will try... Have anyone try these under 12/12?

I'm also going to get some other seeds and need suggestions... I see Orange Bud does well, I like sativa/indica hybrids, but I like them a bit more potent!

Currently I'm using soil less mix and Advanced Nutes, but thinking of switching to something cheaper and more simple lyne dyna-Grow or something like that... I do not mind my AN stuff, I use Iguana Juice as base nutes so it's mainly organic, but I have to use so much other things to make sure it comes out right. I got some quality buds this time around, but only 1 oz per plant and took me 15-16 weeks total. If I can get 2 oz a plant on 12/12 from seeds, I would save time, energy cost, some nutes... it sounds perfect. I could also go perpetual under the same light in the same grow room (I have only one, so I'm keeping my clones in the computer room in the house. I don't like it much, nor does the wife)

I grew 9 plants under my 1000W hps, and I vegged a little too much so it got over crowded. I figure I can do nine 12/12 from seed without overcrowding. Ultimately, I'm aiming at having a rotation of 3 plants every 4 weeks or so... that would be perfect for my needs.

Click on the link in my signature to see a report and some pics of my first indoor grow...

cheers

Just a quick question lads I'm about to transplant my 12-12's to 6L pots when is the best time in to do this..I was thinking about 2 hours before the dark cycle what do you do??...Also when watering is it ok to leave some of the run off in the drip trays or should it be emptied I was thinking it might help with the humidity levels there normally between 35-40% or will the left over water cause root rot...Thanks for the help on this :D

I believe you're over thinking things a bit.. Just transplant when they are ready and when it is convenient for you.. Just be gentle and they will recover quickly.. That's what she said.

Run off should be fine in veg.. As long as the roots are not sitting submerged in water.. But remove when flowering..

I don't know the "right" answer, but I generally transplant as soon as the lights come on (mostly cause my lights are on while I'm asleep for the majority of the time). And I always leave the water in the drip tray. Like you, I'm fighting low humidity issues. Sometimes my humidity gets as low as 25-30%.
