Please assist me? Ugh

@ThatCrazyStonerChick , did you ever get your problem sorted? I've tried to figure it out, but I lost you like two pages back.

I came here for help. I seriously need it. This is obviously my first grow and have been struggling through it so far. I've watched a million grow videos. Since everybody does things differently, this forum has been invaluable. I can ask specific questions from people that grow similarly as to what I'm trying to accomplish. The back and forth that some of you guys are doing is beyond me though. I've been friend with men most of my life because most (noooooot all) women are catty and attack each other. Never in my life have I seen men go at it like this. Why can't you guys accept the fact that everybody grows differently but still gety good results. Nobody knows everything. Please stop with the bravado and HELP ME. PLEASE.

This is, in no way, directed at ALL of you. Please don't be offended if this doesn't apply to you.

Thank you. I know most of you genuinely want* to help, but this has gotten so side tracked. It's not a help. It's frustrating. And irritating. I'm a mom. A mom of a special needs child. You guys are making me want to separate you.

Please, for the live of all that is good on this planet, stop the petty arguing and help me! I asked nicely. I appreciate everyone's input and advice. But this shit needs to stop. Please.

Thank you

Thank you. It's all good. I honestly don't even know who is specifically doing it. I'm not paying attention to names. It's just that every time I log in, I have to scroll through pages of the back and forth to get to any useful information. Thank you though. I appreciate what you said.

I understand completely. There are some good people here. Can you please post a picture of your plants? I forgot the last question I asked you, or if I even did.

As background, I am planting for medicine, too, for the same reason. I don't want you to lose your plants either. Let's start over, shall we? Are you growing in soil? I'm growing in coco and a new grower, as well. I can't promise you that I will have the answers, but I can find/get them for you. I know somewhere along the line the debate started about the bloody lights (this is a keyword that prefaces long-winded debates here; along with soil).

So, for now, can I just see your babies? What's the pH of your ingoing and outgoing water? Where I live, the water was a problem for about a week until I figured it out with the help of @oldskol4evr (I live in an area built upon limestone), but he's on a break from here or something.

Thank You God for a woman's perspective, I have watched this shit show of words for almost 2weeks now, and I agree. Everyone has an opinion, but to argue who is better or best, remember size doesn't matter, it's how you use it. Oh shit, different argument LOL.

Yes, I'm using 50/50 Promix/pearlite. I switched back to tap. The ph is about 8.59, s.o I'm lowering it to approximately 6.8. Oldsko4evr has helped me out too. I'll attach a pic. They're growing pretty well now although I wonder of they're on track now. I want to repot but I don't think I can do that until I have sufficient lighting, which is where my problem lies right now.

hold off at least a week for repotting. you should realize the first month or so, the roots are the most important, let them grow a bit more in the cups.
plants look good and with tight nodes, maybe raise the light 4-6 inches also for the week.
doing good!

You got some happy, healthy plants there, looking spot on! Remember that they don't need as much light when they are young but its good you are thinking ahead.

@oldskol4evr will never steer you wrong. His magic worked even when he wasn't around to talk to me. Tell him I'm glad he is well. Ask him to send you his Hannah chart or I can give it to you (this is in regards to how to treat your water and is your lifesaver). I'm smiling ear to ear right now because from the first picture I saw of yours to now, you have made a great turn around.

I use my mothering instinct a lot in telling me when to repot and such, getting opinions from others. It's not my goal to step on anyone's toes, but I feel you are similar and you are getting the urge to repot. If you turn the plant upside down, with it in between your fingers, squeeze a little, it will release itself. See how the root structure is. If it is growing into the cup shape and holding dirt, replant, I say. If your gut says to not, then don't. They aren't so fragile, they are newborns. I think you understand my meaning.

I am very relieved you made a recovery. Please let me know if you I can help in anyway.

Stoner Babe, I am proud of the way you saved you babies, like its been said, treat them like infants, they need love, care, and now and then need a doctor's care. I am not an expert, but being growing off an on since the 70s, stopped for 20yrs to raise a family, now they are grown on their own here in Florida. I on the other hand have been recovering from Cancer in 2012, and due to the fact, Meds got too addictive, and expensive, so I started back growing my own. I admit that the times and technology have greatly improved the ability for average stoners like myself to get a supply of Meds that are natural and NON ADDICTIVE . From the pics, you are on your way to the joys of growing. Just use YOUR INSTINCTS, and take in all the info you can.

Clonex also has a seedling nute that can be useful.

You raise the lights that often? I'm trying to get lighting figured out before transplanting them because my one pathetic little led isn't enough to convert all theatre plants in big pots.

Some yes, some no. I lost me a few pages back too.

Plants look great! I’ve grown in that 50/50 mix for years. I would lower the ph to 5.8-6.2 when you feed. You said your issue is a light? Do you still need to get one? A 315cmh is a great choice to keep things simple. You can use it from seedling to finish with great results and a low power consumption.

Thank you very much. They would have never made it if it wasn't for the people on this forum. I'm so sorry about the cancer. I've had a scare, but nobody can truly understand something unless they've lived it. I would never pretend to understand what you went through or still are.
I get my meds through insurance but between all of my specialists, I take a lot of them. I want to cut down on as many as possible. I can, in no way, afford dispensary prices here so I started growing thre second I could. Which strains have helped you so far?

No, it's all good. Thank you though. I appreciate it.

yea that's just the nature of the pot growing forums...growers have debates and sometimes somebody gets called a fag or a douchebag and it deteriorates from there...and then ppl say "im outta here!"....it can be annoying and it can be funny....but its the nature of it all and it's been going on since windows NT...but you can always steer it in whatever direction you'd like for it to go

im og troll and ive survived many forum meltdowns - with that said, i still like forums better than any other platform for discussions
