I having some big problems with my first grow and need a little help from the board. I'm doing Stinky's cut and paste. Please bear with me I'm very new to this. The leaves are turning in and the plant is not getting any big buds yet. Did I burn the plant and kill the buds? Can I save this or move on and start over. Also I started to flower after 5 weeks of veg and I had to bend the plant because it was getting to big for my room. How can I include pictures?

:question:
Hi, I'm a noob myself, but just want to ask what light source are you using (type/wattage) and how far from the plants is it?

Looks overwatered for one....the leaf curling under is what leads me to think that.

1000 watt HID, about 45 to 50 cm. You think it could be over watered?

Sorry, HPS and 5 weeks into flowering. I didn't have many big buds yet. Just looks to me I should start all over. Yea the ph runoff is 5.7. It seem low but the ph 6.3 when it goes in.

Looks like over watering.. do you have anything like Perlite in the soil for aeration? Also 5.7 runoff is kind of low for soil isn't it? (spot on for hydro :p)

I don't grow in soil but I know if an air pump goes out it looks like that..
Also maybe try adding some water PH.. 7.5, maybe it'll runoff properly, but don't listen to a hydro grower, can we hear from a soiler?

Thanks Fish & Rusty for the information. Fish was right on with his diagnosis. I put them in soil high in nuts and feed them the fox farm schedule. The only reason I know this is I feed them just water for the last 4 weeks and new buds were fine. It was a very small harvest and low thc. I just started 5 more of my girl friends. This time I won't over feed them.

She doesn't look too bad though IMO, looks satvia dom. Maybe she just has to flower for 14 weeks. All I'm saying is she doesn't look too bad from the pics.
