hey jimbob thanks for the words of encouragement buddy, like i say im a newbie, these are only my 2nd an 3rd plant, the first i typically rushed into and ended up with a monster in a 2ft box, still its all part of the leaning curve eh?? As for the criticism - it aint no thing, good/bad/ugly - hell i dont give a monkey;s, all i wan is to give my plants the stuff they need to make the whole thing worth while in the end, an without people like u helpin out it would take people like me a hell of a lot longer to get down the road so to speak!!
yeah defo got sum nute issue goin on with yellow spots, curling an burning on the leaves, took my time increasing the feeds up for the first few weeks and have since eased off the nutes now, would there be any problems if i finished em off with only water, like i say i still got a wk or 2 till chop??. As for the topping - i gather its the done thing with CFL grows, i put that down to my lack of experience, an i couldn't bear to hurt my new babies!!! as daft as it sounds LOL!!! i have been researching 'topping' and also 'sgrogging' as this is also supposed to be beneficial to CFL grows. i have aquired quite a few white russian and blue cheese seeds which are going to be my first victims of plant bondage lol - topping included!!
Think i'll take it easy an do another two plants and try an sort my nutes and feeding regime out - gotta bite the bullet on a pH tester too me thinks, damn them things aint cheap, any recomendations for a decent soil tester? The stretching is again my bad, gonna sort my light out better this time i think, bout 2 or 3 cms is good?? (again its the newbie in me not wanting to burn my girls!! lol!!) God this growing lark grabs you by the nuts doesn;t it!! dont think i'v read or researched anything as much in my entire life!!!!!!!! lol
Once again thoughts vibes ideas alway welcome!!!
peace peeps
