Welcome New Members!

Hello everyone =]
I am growing two himalyan gold plants. They are being grown inside under one 300w cfl, with two 85watt clfs. The plants are being grown in miracle grow compost. I was feeding them with miracle grow plant food. I havnt bothered with any ph tests etc. There is a small 7inch desk fan with them for circulation. The plants are almost 10 weeks into the flowering stage (they say its should take just 8 weeks). I have been away for a few days and was planning of coming home to harvest. However, it seems that the plants are continuing to grow, with the buds currently going through another growth spurt. Is it normal for plants to take more than the stated time flowering to complete? They are very healthy, the buds are so heavy they are bending some branches over, so i have had to support some of the branches by stringing them up. There is no sign of bud rot or anything like that. the leaves are yellowing, and some dropping, but as i gather this is normal? So, is it safe to just leave them for longer until this current spurt is apparently completed? even if it is a few weeks after the stated amount of time flowering?(maybe 3 weeks extra?) Any advice would be warmly recieved!
many thanks=]

Hello Forum!

I am kind of an amateur stoner, and an even more amateur grower, but hopefully I can get these nice new seeds that I saved to grow into something delicious

If everything is happening as you say you should be fine. A 30x or better magnifyer can help you be sure, you will be looking for amber tricomes. No, it is not normal to go that far past the stated flowering time. VV

Well everyone..

almost to the end of my first grow, but trouble is on the horizion I think..

Bit of info for yall..

2x joint doctor Easyryder.. Autoflower
2x 25 watt blue cfls
1x150 watt red cfl
Cabinet approx 2foot x 4 foot
2x cpu fans intake and exhaust
Temps inside growroom = 30 degrees, humidity 40%




Ok now onto the dilema.. As you can see from the pics the yellowing of the leaves are quite dramatic.. Plant now 6 weeks old. the first few weeks of growth I fed them nothing, Using Biobizz light mix soil.. After first 3 weeks I started them on a very light feed of bio bizz bloom. 1 ml per 1.5 litres of water.
Till now I have pretty much used the same dose because The last thing I figured I wanted was to overdo it. The water Is always Ph balanced to around 6.5 and the biobizz ferts are added to every watering.. Somehow I think the leaves show a Defficency but I guess thats what Im hoping to find out.
Growth on smaller plant is stunted, It is growing but unfortunately its all bunched up. I think this is because they had a bad first 2 weeks with poor light until I upgraded.. Taller one looks alote more like Mj should..

In one pic you can see bottom leaves completely dead.. Missed a watering schedule and this was the result when I returned.. Plants were heavily wilted but since they have sprung back to life..

The main issue is the yellowing of the leaves, as you can see it has already lost some fan leaves at bottoms of plants that went completely yellow and died, this has happened regardless of missing a watering.. Now its showing signs of the same yellowing at random hights of both..

Also you might have spotted the drooping of the top leaves !!

Any advice Id be much Obliged

Well.....generally, yellowing leaves at the bottom means your plant is done with those leaves. Its a little short on nutrients elsewhere, so it leeches whatever nutrition it can from those leaves. Remove them and increase your nutes a little.

Your plants are color coded. Yellow, lack of nutes, too green, too high of nutes. Relax, take a breath.

Usually, dropping leaves means a need for a drink. However, unlike our children, mj plants get ready for bed early and without being told. My lights go out at 10:00pm. By 9:30 all of my plants look willted, almost like they died between 9 and 9:30. If you come out to the vegging room at 3:30 you will see the opposite. The leaves will start pointing up, getting ready for the sun. Wish the kids were trained as well as these plants. VV

Yo V.V

Thanks for the heads up.
Yeah Ive been a little hesitant with regards nutes so far. Ive heard that its actually tough enough to hurt the women using organic ferts, although Id rather not test that theory ! I didnt realise that the plant taking nutes from the older leaves would be that
heavily obvious, they are quite the hungry little ladies then I guess

Ha ha I totally forgot to mention the LSTing in my post, I've got one of those round cfls and man I really hate it.. So much light is unused is ridiculous, only half the bulb actually sheds its light directly, the rest shines on the top of the hood.
The smaller plant just decided to cease vertical growth and throw all its leaves within a 6 inch space. Tried to pull back a few nodes to let the light in but the stems are tiny and stubborn.
Worked a treat with the taller one, getting adequate light now at the bottom.

On another note.. I know you cant be the judge of everyone's setups but maybe you might be able to recommend a dose increase for me roughly..
Biobizz recommends 1ml per litre for first 2 weeks and a 1ml increase on subsequent weeks till 3 ml max.... 6 weeks total flowering stage + 2 flush I presume.
Thing is im sure they weren't referring to autoflowering hybrids.
Also I get the feeling I shouldn't apply Nutes to every bottle of water a give them !
Is this the case you reckon.

First Timer here and need help. Here's the story.

I have 2 different rooms, both with plants that are flowering. 40 days into flowering on a 8 week flowering time. In one of my rooms i had my white widow, start growing these fucking nanners, just on those two i noticed in that room. All others seem to be fine that i can see. In my other room i had my train wreck do the same thing. Same story just those 2 pants and every other one is okay. I must add that the other plants are different strains then the ones listed. I Had a light malfuncation in the room with the train wreck, so that may have cause those. But i cant understand what happened to my white widow, the room there in has been perfect threw there hole life.

What I have done so far

Took all good plants and put them in a room. then took the ones with the nanners and put in the other room.
I went threw and plucked all those nanner things i could see off the 2 white widow and 2 train wreck.

Qustions I Have

Are all my other plants going to be ok, meaning did i catch the problem before those nanners could polinate my other plants. I notcied when i plucked them they were really wet still. Not sure if that makes a difference or not.

Should the 4 plants with the nanners be ok, because the plants looking amazing with fat nice nugs. My avatar picture is one of my train wreck. Or what should i do with plants.

Does this mean i need to cut my white widow mother and train wreck mother down.

Please help any thing will help. Like i said this is my first grow. Please help.

Not sure if this matters but i took the co2 out of both rooms and then 2 days later, being yesterday, i noticed the nanners. I will also be putting a dehumidifier in both rooms today to get my humidity down as i read is very good to do the last 2-3 weeks of flowering. The humidity in the 2 rooms stays about 50% right now. what should i try to get the humidity down to when putting in dehumidiifers today.

What's up My people!? I'm new here but I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im trying to start up indoors for cheap. i wanna set up at least 4 or 5 plants on a $100 budget i already have seeds can someone help me with other supplies? i already have fertilizer too

I have taken advantage of the vast wealth of knowledge here for a long time so I decided to try actually join. I'll try to share the small amount of thing I know from my experiences to be true, more importantly I'll try to not give bad advice. This place has saved my girls countless times and I'm going to attempt to give back what I can.

I just want to say thanks to everyone for the epic knowledge contained within. A noob like myself certainly appreciates it!

Welcome all! Especially you, Eternal Noob. I shall enjoy the irony one day when you hit Super Stoner status.

You don't have to cover EVERY hole to reflect the light... also what did you need to find for your 100$ budget if you got nutrients/fertilizer read about CFL lighting in that section
