[meds215]

Alright you guys, just watered all 5 other plants with straight ph'd RO water. We'll see what happens.

Can anyone tell me if these leaves look normal to you. Not sure if its normal or heat stress, this is my tallest plant and it's been getting pretty close to the hood. The leaves are twisted around and upside down. The ballast is only at 75%(450 watts) right now but I'm wondering if I should pull her out and just put it under a couple T-12s until I can get another tent up for the mothers.

doing great for your first real grow. looks healthy but dont starve them so much of water. they look on the verge of thirtst which is not good for the hairlike fuzz on the roots as it dies when dries up, on the tap or main veins stay with sub roots also stay, but the fuzz that take in the nutrients best like our capillaries do is going to die off and cause stunting in growth and not much more

Thanks for stopping by please stick around, I appreciate the help. So I take it there is a finer line than what I thought there is with letting them dry out? I always thought let them dry all the way out until they are about to wilt then feed them so the roots have to grow. How do you water yours? What signs do you go by?

I am loving that HDI Mother A&B formula! That mother Sour OG is only a week ahead of the 6 but the branching is coming out way better than the GH or GO.

Can anybody out there explain to me why everything I have thrown in this tent has developed pre-flowers?? Sure I am excited that they are females but why the hell are they pre-flowering even with the lights at 18/6? Thanks guys

Back on track with feeding the ladies. Did things a little differently this evening. I watered each one with one quart of straight RO with a 6.4Ph then waited approx 15 minutes and gave them another quart. Then I mixed up the nutes.

General Organics in 2 Gallons
5ml Pro Tekt
10ml CaMg+
20ml Bio Root
10ml Bio Weed
20ml Bio Marine
20ml Bio Thrive

General Hydroponics in 2 Gallons
2.1EC 6.4Ph
5ml Pro Tekt
10ml CaMg+
10ml Micro
5ml Bloom
2ml Flora Plus
5ml Rapid Start
15ml Flora Blend

Run off had a 6.3Ph and 3.5EC, EC was still pretty high but its lower than last time.


"GSC" in 1 Gallon but fed 1 liter
.7EC 6.3Ph
2.5ml Pro Tekt
5ml HDI Mother A
5ml HDI MOther B

The tips of quite a few of the leaves are light. Not so much burnt but kind of light, and it looks like somebody rubbed the shit out of them with a rag because in between the veins its not as dark. The plants look alright to me, but they don't seem to be growing very fast, I am wondering if I had let them dry out too much and it stunted them. Gonna give them one more week and I'm gonna flip em.

Just fed momma Sour OG
Flushed with one gallon of RO, followed by one gallon of:
6.6Ph 1.2EC
2.5ml CaMg+
5ml Pro-Tekt
6ml HDI Mother A
6ml HDI Mother B
Run off 6.5Ph 2.3EC

I guess this flushing before feeding is working great for me, this is the lowest EC I have ever had on the run off. All plants received a spray down Of 3ml Azamax in 32Ozs. of RO water.

Thanks to the cooler weather, today, I leave the 450 Watt club and join the 600 Watt club!

Kind of a late update, I fed them again on Sunday 10/14. I decided to take them out another week or two before I flip. They just haven't seemed "right" yet and I am not very impressed with the fullness of the branches when compared to the mother plant which is only a week ahead of these. The only differences are an extra gallon in the pot and the nutes. At this rate I am going to veg ALL my plants using that HDI Mother formula. Now this is my first real grow but in my opinion that shit kicks ass, the differences are night and day.

So I fed the exact same amount as last time and flushed with 1/2 gallon of Ph'd RO water first

Took the mother plants out and put them in this unused bathroom for now until the flowering tent gets here. They will then get their old tent back.

HPS bulb went in and the first 12/12 cycle started yesterday. Hopefully they don't get too tall for the tent. I'm thinking it is gonna be hard identifying exactly when they start to flower being as they have had pre-flowers this whole time!

Alright guys I need some help here. Last week the runoff on the 3 GH plants was 6.8, well today I flushed with a half gallon of 6.6Ph and fed with a little more than a half gallon at 6.3Ph, but the runoff was still 6.8Ph on two and 6.9Ph on the other. What the hell is going on??? The good news is the runoff went from 2.5EC to 2.2EC on two and 1.9EC on the other. I'm kind of panicking here since I just started flowering 6 days ago yet now things are going south. Should I flush with more water or lower the Ph?

Here is how it went.

General Organics 3 Gallons .2EC water
10ml Pro Tekt
22ml CaMg+
30ml Bio Thrive
30ml Bio Root
7.5ml Bio Bud

General Hydroponics 2 gallons .2EC water
Ph 6.3 EC 2.1

2ml Flora Plus

Run Off

Ph 6.8 EC 2.2
Ph 6.9 EC 2.2
