hmmm.... I do remember something in the bible talking about leaves and buds going purple just dont remember of the top of my head. Ill check it out and see if I could find out some more but I hope someone with experience in that area would be able to help you sounds like you could have a bad batch of green if you don't get that fixed.

well im not currently having the problem but id like to be able to fix so i could grow this area its perfect secluded plenty downed trees and thick brush i wat to be able to grow here it would give me more area i have treid in past turns out same every time

lol i just read the post im horrible at typing out my thoughts and spelling to i guess bear with me guys i new to a computer im trying

i have a problem with my plant -- so i think.


the very bottom leave... that very 1st leave before 3 fan leaves, then 5x fan leaves come out... well its starting to turn yellow.
thats the only one that is turning yellow. the plant's stock looks green, the leaves around it from top to bottom look pretty good. i think over all the plant is good, other then that very bottom leave turning yellow.

what should i do??

my setup:
about 4 weeks old dinafem cali hash plant
4 42watt cfl's 24/7 cycle
roots organic soil
ph kit / also use distilled water
water when soil is dry / crumbley
fox farms trio -- HAVENT FED NUTES YET. just ph balanced water

Vedder6 that is a usual thing that happens especially if you are starting to get fan leaves dont sweat it. just as long as your new growth is coming out green. Its probably time to start using big bloom with fox to avoid any loss of N on your new growth.

@ tristynhawk well hope we can figure it out before you hit that spot back up. It could be the soil or dirt being that it has old roots and stuff there maybe contaminating the new plants. idk though have to do more research on it. I love tryna figure the shit out so Ill see what I can come up with.

What do most people use for R/O systems to raise Ph? Does everyone use the standard Ph Up? (potassium carbonate/silicate)

Has anyone used Calcite filters for R/O? (calcium carbonate)

My Ph after R/O is 5.9 Thats before adding anything! Just wondering if there was any alternatives to using so much Ph Up.

Click to expand...

I have not used Calcite, and I avoid Carbonates as much as possible.
Potassium Silicate is my choice pH up. You might not need more than .1ml per L to bring the pH of that mostly pure RO water up quite a bit.

Not familiar with BioBizz, but I would check that label for dosage though. 1 or 2 ml per litre is what I would feed a clone seedling. After good root development you should be around 15 to 20 ml per litre. Or about a Tablespoon per quart. What is your Ph and TDS?

Click to expand...

1Tbls per qt is ridiculous. Especially when recommending a nutrient you have no experience with. Follow the directions. Odds are good you will be using between 1 and 4ml per liter. Not 15 to 20.

Don't trip out. In the grand scheme of things that one leaf means nothing.

There could be many causes and without first knowing the age of your plant I cannot make this determination.

The things to consider are over watering causing a "flushing" of nutrients. Under watering keeping nutrients unavailable to the plant. A hungry plant that cannot get the food it needs from a barren media. Or maybe it is a result of over feeding locking up nutrients. It could be a pH issue. Or maybe a heat/humidity thing...

Pictures will help if you cannot be more descriptive about the method you are using, the environmental factors, you pH information, etc etc.

My plant is about a week n half old and still has only the first four leaves and its around 2.5 3" tall. What could be slowing the grow so much? Btw i'm using 2 23watt 6500k and 1 23w 3500k and 1 13w for lighting.

99% of the time, for whatever the reason, the roots are not healthy. It could be a lack of aeration material. It could be compacted soil. It could be over watering (too often). It could even be the temperature of the grow space. Maybe the pH is off. Or maybe the soil is hot with nutrients.

I cannot tell you what is wrong in your garden without at least looking. Who do you think I am? Nostradamus?

You did it wrong... That's why...

Unless you feel like sharing a little more then I think that is the best answer I can honestly offer.

The plant is still alive. It is never too late to get things back on track. Fill me in on everything and I can inform you where you can improve in the future.

You probably want to transplant this plant ASAP into a better media. Wherever the problem is, it is in the media, and that is the first thing to change.

First post ever, I need HELP ASAP!!!! (sry if this the wrong place to post, just show me where to look, thnx)
Quick intro: this is my first time grow and have little to no background on gardening. i have a 5x5x6.7 with a 1000w lamp with 2 small fans, carbon filter, and a external 6in in-line fan. I'm already investing in more fans and outside temp gauge.
Question: the temp inside the tent in 81 F, is that too hot and how can i lower it???

Click to expand...

its just a hair too high, but instead of lowering it try to run CO2 at current temps.

charlie you should look at the video on youtube for cannabis cultivation I grow chronic very good info.[video=youtube;ilJGJQVkyfw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilJGJQVkyfw[/video]

-When should we move our plants into larger rockwool cubes(we have the 6x6 inch ones?)
-Once in the cubes, when should we start feeding them? How often?
-Should we adjust our lighting anytime soon?
-How often should we be watering them (while still in rw plugs)?
-Should we water them (if so how often) after they are in the 6x6 rw cubes? (or should we start the ebb and flow system with nutrients right away?)

1. Wait until you just start to see small roots start to stick out of the cubes. Might take 10 to 14 days depending on how things go.
2. By the time they are in the larger cubes they will be ready for food for sure. Watch the leaves. You'll want to begin feeding them sometime around the appearance of the third set of leaves.
3. I think you should be running 18/6. The rest they get during the darkness does your plant good and the 75% reduction in energy is good too. I find that my 24/0 plants are as large as my 18/6 plants, but my 18/6 plants are healthier looking.
4. Watering frequency in cubes when they are young is a matter of just keeping the cubes moist, but not soaking, maybe every 12-18 hours in the earlier days. Just don't let the cubes dry out completely. When they are just barely still moist then you can get them wet again. As the roots develop the plant will need more water, but in the beginning most of what you add will be lost to evaporation.
5. After you transplant, for the first 7 to 10 days you'll want to do about the same thing as the roots develop. Just concentrate on building big healthy happy roots at this stage. Get them to start spreading by making sure there is plenty of air in the cube (not over saturated). Once the roots are filled in and you are having to moisten them more and more frequently, then you can start flooding the cubes several times a day and pushing the plants harder with the nutrients.

Rockwool can be kinda tricky. Watch your pH closely. Focus on your roots, they will determine everything. Good luck with all the other things.

I apologize for the typo.... I meant a tablespoon per gallon. That was an amateur mistake, and I hope I didnt screw anyone up. Im learning not to smoke before I log on.
I use Botanicare Pro Bloom and it is only a 1-4-5 NPK ratio, so I go heavy on my mix. Again, my apologies for not paying attention to my measurements.

hi guys maybe im in the wrong place for this question but you guys seem active in here and very informative as ive said before ordered 90 seeds from nirvana for outdoor use.

Can i breed a couple of these for future use i have no experience breeding seed i usually just grab some locaal county seed every year but have noticed a decline i quality past couple years this is why i ordered seeds.

should i order every year or if i breed a couple will they be any good i mean im assuming they will sprout im wondering if they will lose their vigor and quality

any advice would be great guys...thx

I find fresh homemade seeds actually have increased vigor. Especially when crossing strains rather than inbreeding.

You can breed if you like, you'll get a little more variation, but that can be a good thing.

I think the best idea is to get yourself a couple of good mom's and preserve the best genetics you get for future use. Start your clones indoors in March, veg them through april, then drop them outside in may to October. Beasts.

thanks to crash . wasnt sure . and ... now i kno < lol just dont let the probe dry out that would b semi-bad. right? i am still learning how things work on RIU happy grow evryone.

Thanks snow thats exactly what i wanted to know.I was really hoping i could breed a couple and get my own seeds.I was gonna breed them into their own strains but you have a good point i will just cross a couple and keep some straight.I mainly ordered what nirvana described as their outdoor strains some others id like to try but not sure how they would do outside.I got their swiss cheese,kaya gold,aurora indica,short riders,the swiss cheese and short riders are the only regular seeds and i dunno bout breeding a autoflowering plant to anything else i had planned on letting a few breed themselves though.

I was really interested in some their other strains but wasn't sure how they would fare outdoors.....northern lights,ak48,wonder woman,chrystal anyone ever grow these in north eastern united states..

Anyway thanks for the input snow.
