Its the nutes! You shoulda waited til you repoted. I would use regular water for the remainder of the time before repoting. You should prolly give it 4-5 more days before repotting. You said 10 days right? After you repot start back on the nutes, and go 1/4 recomeneded strength for about 2 weeks then start uppin the nute dose. You should be fine after all.

Good Luck!:thumbsup:

Not to mention you are using FoxFarm. You shouldnt need nutes for at least 2 weeks. It says 30 days on the back of the bag.

the color the new shoots growing out and i have always had purple

sign that they have what they need

they have been looking better they are still yellowing very lil on
edges on some plants but other then that

i put them under 12/12
due to the space i put them under 12/12 to get the sex up front
i dont have room to grow out six plants for a month

it looks to me like over watering and nitrogen deficiency i use blood meal for nitrogen make sure not to use too much you can get the organic choice blood meal at any home depot and as for the watering, ive heard its best to wait until your plant gets pretty dry before adding water, this is suppose to get the roots to grow in search of water, goodluck with your plants, loooking good

twitch
07-14-2008, 05:37 PM
i have something for the nitrogen sultz plus or some shit to lazy to
get up and look... and i took a second look at that plant and the
soil was a lil over watered i think it might not be draining well but
its the only one and i'll take care of it when i repot

any one have any any put on re-potting... should i do it now or
wait a few more days

another failed attempt....
so my landlord decided the camera hidden in my light outside my
door (have no fucking idea how she found it) it really wasn't easy
to see... anyway i come home from work at 5 and my lamp is gone
like ripped off because they were bond-o-d on... so i ask the
maintenance who is cool and respects the fact i dont want people
in there unless i know so he calls before he goes in
(i think in part because the 2nd time he came over i have my
gun out-legal- he said no he hadn't been up, there so i call my landlord
she said that my light was hanging off by the wires and they noticed
i had drilled a small hole in the fixture hold the camera in place
so they took my 200$ wireless camera and my light fixture and said
i had to pay them for the light fixture for 30$ before they will give me
my camera back.......

so when i first saw it i freaked and though the cops took it out
becuase they were about to raid me in an illegal manner so i
ran to my room and had to destroy yet another grow....
they had just sexed today i had 3males 2females and 1unknown


so back to my camera i had my lawyer actually called because
she wont give it back (she is looking over my lease, she also
happens to be my aunt)

so once again more bull shit to someone who minds there own shit

so i have decided to quit growing untill i can get my own house
i have had to many close calls and i just dont want to risk college

yall have a good one
you might see me pop in every now and then

I think it's a little bit of all three of your guesses on the condition and the lack of light to the lower leaves.

OMFG twitch that sucks man, i'm sorry. I've experianced problems like that in the past with family who owned my apt. i moved out with my GF so now things are better a 420 friendly landlord helps too.

Good luck on the next attempt whenever that might be. I enjoyed following your progress.

RIP lil plants

even tho they are dead it wasn't a light problem i was able to keep
cfls 6 to 8 inch away from the plants with out stretching....
ask anyone that does cfls they put them practically on the plant

thank you
it does suck but hey me and my landlord are about to
but heads and it turns out she is in violation of the lease becuase
she did not provide me with proper lighting out side my door
so i couldn't see the people who would knock at night
(i love having an aunt as a lawyer)

twitch
07-16-2008, 11:16 PM
hahaha so i win (kinda) i got my camera back and i had just signed
a new lease 2 months ago but when my lawyer called and explained
that it isn't good thing when there residents dont feel safe...

He then said he would open up a pro-bono law suit to get my out
of the lease and insured her it will cost her alot more then lease
cancellation fees when he gets done

so my mom being a relater found me a house 2 blocks from where
i used to live

so the twitch will be back on the forums sooner then expected

Cool!

I almost murdered my fav plant today with a lamp. Split the Y shaped branch down the middle. I rigged it back together, hoping it heals. Got to love the crazy things that happen well growing. If I get a Digital Camera any time soon I'll post some pic's to show you.

When you were looking at the place you just moved too, did you scope it out for nice grow spots in the back of your mind? haha I have in the past........

That just shows how bad I am :stoned:

Not to be negative... but its not a good idea to grow in a place you don't own. Landlord can come in any time they want and its not worth the jail time. I would never attempt to grow in anything that is rented. I love the fact that I have 100% say in who comes in my home.

Is that comment in response to me partially? hope not, like I said my landlord is a green "friend" of mine. Complete support. Although I do agree It would suck if it were anywhere else, and I'd always be paranoid something like a pipe would burst and I'd come home to bad times........

actually in most parts of the U.S. it's illegal for landlords to enter the premises without 24 hours notice, in some states its 72 hours. also if you own your house/apartment and you do get raided with a valid search warrant your property could be seized by the government.

also on a side note
it is my opinion that fox farms happy frog and ocean forest both benefit from adding perlite and sand to help with drainage. personally i think that their products are overpriced when you consider how much more soil you get when you mix up your own.
if you do have some fox farm lying around that has the mycrorizae added to it you can use a small amount of that soil to inncoulate home made mixes with the beneficial fungus

he is correct...
also my landlord that owns the house lives in Florida and the relater cant come in

fox farms rocks, ocean forest will easily last you through veg. It may not be wise to grow if your getting raided constantly. I hope all turns out well, rock on!:thumbsup:
