what a guy have to do to get some advice here lol, joke joke

ive been looking at hps setups, i want to get sometihng better the the cfl's there in about a 2x2 area, so i think a 250watt would work well in that area

opinions please

aight man ive seen some plant if u want to get that thing big fast theres a certain type of fertalize almost like the plants food whitch u need to have a medical licence to get and jsut sprinkle about a gram ononce every three days and that thing will be 6 feet high like my friends most science teachers in highschools can get them..find a cool one

Don't listen to Bhaze, don't use tinfoil, white flat paint at the least. And your ph is to high. Needs to be in the 6.5 to 6.8 range.
looks like a nutrient burn to me..

so i should flush if thats the problem?

Like spacemyface said, ph is too high, lower it to 6.5-6.8 using a ph down solution, if you aren't able to get a hold of any, try peat moss or elemental sulphur. Are there any fans/ventilation? What about temps? Light cycles? the tears/missing leaf sections look like bugs/insects. look under the leaf for any little bugs.

yeah i have a fan blowing inthere on the same cycle as te lights 18/6, temps are 73-78F, and the tear is from transportation, this lil girl was given to me in a plastic bag

thanks for the help

yup, fix the pH and be VERY careful ferting because your soil is VERY 'hot' already.

BHaze420 is full of beans. Science teachers in schools can get this super medical fertilizer? HAHAHAHA That's cute. I'm glad I paid attention in science class instead of plotting how to score some crazy nutes... wtf!

acidboy

i havent put any fert in that soil for that reason, she still small so im tihnking aobut getting a nutral soil with not nutes in it, and use peters 20-20-20, every 2 waterings if i go that route, would pool ph down work to drop the ph? and i should bring it down to what 6.5?

thanks again

20-20-20 is NOT an appropriate cannabis fert. Can you use it? Maybe. Will you have problems? Likely!!!

Pool pH adjusters are a different set of chemicals and you really owe it to yourself to pick up plant pH down when you go look at cannabis-specifice ferts (a good veg fert!). In the meantime, it is safer to use cider vinegar- just a little goes a long way- to drop your pH, but TEST your solution before using it.

haha ur all a joke i have 3 plants that r 3 ft and my room is covered in tinfoil and ur a fuckin idiot theres a god damn like fertalizer or some food shit for plants that makes them grow more..... and if u want a headie ass plant soon u get it u fag and that bitch that commented on my shit doesnt even kno about it ya u have to have a medical license to get it so go suck a dick

You're gonna go farther with your plants and get more out of this forum if you calm down and show respect and maturity. Flat white paint and mylar are much better reflectors as they don't create hot spots, which tin foil does.

Even if you don't agree with what someone said, there's really no need to have a fit and start cussing people out. Even if you feel someone may have been a bit rude to you, that's not a good enough reason to do that either. Keeping it up will probably get you banned. And if you actually care about it you'd apologize sincerely and hope to make amends and move past this.

"Winning a pissing match on the internet is like racing in the special olympics; even if you win, you're still retarded..."

Cmon man, lighten up, and learn to tolerate. We don't like to see shit like this go down. :jointsmile:

WOW....all this with only what..14 posts? Guess they will also be your last until you grow up.

It was so nice to spend this time together;
Just to have a laugh at your advice,
Seemed we just got started and before we knew it.......
Come the time you had to say.....So Long!;)

Have a good grow!:jointsmile:

07-07-2007, 08:11 PM
ok so my thread continues to be jacked, can i request whats irrelivant my my thread be dseleted by a mod?

i tihn i over shot my soil ph im at 6.1 now

the image reaper
07-07-2007, 08:22 PM
6.1 is in the right direction from where you were ... before fussing with the pH much more right now, I'd wait until another watering or two, and check the pH again ... (don't sweat the 'jacking' ... no biggie) :smokin:

acidboy
07-07-2007, 08:34 PM
next watering is in 4-5 days so ill chek again, my dad remembered that we had a digital ph meterand seeing as this is "his" baby he wants to help support her, even though ive put more cash in to her upbringing the he lol, think ima try from seeds if im sucsessfull with the little one

acidboy
07-09-2007, 02:12 PM
ok, this ph thing is pissing me off, soil is now at 5.6, so my plan is to re pot in to a bigger pot, cuz she is out growing this one, and i want to start LSTing her and maybe start her on some nutes

any recomendations on soil, online or store bought in the us

thankyou

Yup it is almost a guarantee that you have an Agway near you, look in the phone book, get the 'composted cow manure with humus', mix in up to 40% perlite, and you will have to be TRYING to fuck up your pH in the future... that stuff is a DREAM for stability. I love it.. I've tried plenty of media and always come back to the classic bullshit, lol.... :D

acidboy

nope no agway near me, good hour drive from me actually

is fox farms ocean forest any good, found a place 4 min away that caries it, and whats a good veg, and flowering fert, might make some clones while she is still in veg and popping stems left and right, shes going into a bigger pot to and after that i plan on LSTing dont want her growing to high

stinkyattic
07-10-2007, 02:06 PM
Ocean forest is very good but it is already heavily ferted so be aware of that. Happy frog is gentler and can also be used for starting seedlings.
I like the Botanicare PureBlend Pro line very much.

acidboy
07-10-2007, 10:10 PM
i found a place that carries happy frog, should i pick up any other nutes while there, im going to see if they have anything for cloning, want to try my hand at that too

acidboy
07-11-2007, 05:17 AM
some new pics, would now be a good time to start LSTing, or after the transplant once done

stinkyattic
07-11-2007, 02:53 PM
You can wait until the transplant because they look like they are plenty flexible still.
Botanicare nutes= good
For cloning, a sack of rapid rooters, a bottle of dip-n-grow (not clonex, DNG pwns clonex big time), and a propagation dome, just one of the cheap plastic ones, shoudl not cost more than $10.

acidboy
07-11-2007, 05:33 PM
let me say i am ever greatful for the advice, i am naming this grow stinky closet in your honor, thats one girl by the way, for now anyway, till i clone her

stinkyattic
07-11-2007, 05:38 PM
damn, if that closet DOESN'T stink, I'd be disappointed!!!
All the hype over low-odor strains... personally, I would rather my house smell like cannabis than smell like my previous tenants' dogs... :D

ill agree but girlfriend is anti-drug, so is mother, father on the other hand wants some of the final product, told him id think about it, might be getting a 12-14" round pot and ima get the happyfrog soil, and a few bloom/flower nutes, i think ima start switching her to 12/12 after the transplant

acidboy
07-13-2007, 01:52 PM
well i jsut had my first growers nightmare, woke up this morneing to find the laamp laying ontop of my now almost 12" girl, i freaked out, but once i calmed myself i straightened her out, by tieing a toothpick, above and below the bend with some mono fliliment, and as for transplanting she is going into ocean forest tis weekend, happy frog was out of stock, and today i started shortening her daylight by an hour, should i decrease, an hour a day, or all at once?

acidboy
07-14-2007, 06:33 AM
well as of right now she is on 12/12 with a 42watt 27k cfl, getting final transplant tomorrow, hitting up a local hydro shop for some bloom nutes, and hopping for the best on that bend seeing as it went more than 45, it was a slight 94/95 degree bend

any tips on how to keep her short shes about a foot tall now, and id like to keep it like that if i can

finally got th transpland done, from what i have read, ocean forest is pretty hot like you said stinky that stated, and from a few things ive read so far, im gonna water with a mix of water and molasses with a ph of 6.0-6.5 for about a month give or take dont know how long the nutes in ocean forest last in the soil then i plan on getting pure blend pro bloom, as stinkyattic mentioned
