My conditions are as follows

Seedlings in heated propergator
3" Rockwell cubes, sat on Ph balanced Mapito

Temps/ 19deg C in growroom (fully kingspaned 200mm/ 5m5m3m garage)
/ 22-24deg C in propergator

[tikiroom]

Looking very healthy. :thumbsup:

[BalloonBoy]

Nothing to submit, although i seen to have a brown edge on one of my plants, could anyone diagnose or guide me as to what the problem could be

PICTURE OF DAMAGED PLANT BELOW. Note the brown spot..??? any advice.?

[tikiroom]

Don't stress over that one spot.
Just keep an eye on it to see if it spreads.

[BalloonBoy]

All other plants look well..? pictures of my good plants below. Puzzled as to what is causing the brown spot and brown edges............?????????

[BalloonBoy]

Don't stress over that one spot.

Ok mate, just didnt seem right, all the others are looking ok ish.? I think, haha as i say its my first grow..!!! Thanks for the feedback mate

If I were you I would stop misting and once the third set of true leaves develop, start using some nutrients. Start off with about 1/8 strength then work up from there.
But that's just what I would do. :hippy:

watered today using airated wated Ph 5.8 100 ml per plant hand fed using jug.

used half dosage of root stim 2.5ml per 5L of water.

plants starting to look slightly wilted nothing major, before watering the cubes were bone dry and very lightweight..

temps 22degC Humidity 65-70

Day13

Tent up today, Put the 2 week old seedlings above a 600w HPS at about 1.5 Metre high.

AirPots orderd Ready to replant for the final time and set up the 3x16 Pot Wilmas.

Currently looking at extraction systems for the R240 and the extraction for the lighting...... See my other post about extraction, any feedback is more then welcome...:thumbsup:

[BalloonBoy]

Airpots came today, started potting them using mapito..Fk me that shit is expensive, i have 25x10L pots and im using 1x 80L bag for 3 pots..!! at £30 a bag..

Using clay pebbles for 16 pots and mapito in 8 pots.. (Want to see the difference in yield)

Grow room set up changed, no longer doing the 20 system, using 3x16 pot Wilma systems in the D240 leaving me 1.2m squared to move about in the tent and drain the systems also leaving room for the huge 8" carbon filter:D

8 pots removed from each system leaving 24 plant sites in the Wilmaâ??s, Iâ??m spreading them out to give them more space.

Unable to source the Magnum XXXL's anywhere in the uk.. Nowhere.!>> Tried for 3 days to get them, no Joy..

Having to settle with the little brother to the XXXL's, the Blockbuster.. Not happy at all i have had to downgrade to the Blockbuster, I'll see the performance before judging them.

Using 1000w Dimmable ballasts, sourced from the US..

The lamps are the sun master duel spectrum, Iâ??m using them to veg and flower, however i will be using 600w over each system during veg then cranking it up to 1000w superlumin setting for flower..! :thumbsup:


The next 4 days all equipment will be installed up and running.. The plants are ahead of me..

Next update soon..

Are those RootMaker RootBuilder air pruning pots? If not RootMaker brand they are damn similar. Do you have experience with them? I use the RootMaker injection molded pots. I love them.

[BalloonBoy]

Hiya Mate, those pots are "Airpots" they work by de-hydrating the root and pruning it back stimulating new root growth.. They are supposed to be amazing...

As for using them before, this is my first grow :thumbsup: so i have no real way to compare them, they looked good and i liked the theory behind them...


More pics and an update once my extraction is set up.. (as soon as i have a spare day off work) (my proper job) it will be installed....

Lights arrive Monday and Wilma systems will be here Tuesday i'm hoping by 6 days all will be rocking...! ! ! :rastasmoke:

Can anyone tell me how to change the title of mydiary, its a 20 pot system on the heading but my system has changed now..??

Yeah yeah, I know what they are, I know the theory and the application. Perhaps I wasn't clear in my earlier post...

I use very similar pots based on the same theory. Mine are injection molded - i.e. they are hard plastic much like traditional pots but designed to achieve the same results. They do work very well, although I have not grown with anything else so I have nothing with which to compare.

I use the 18 cell starters - they are bigger than the other starters (see link) so I get 2 - 3 weeks of grow space before I need to re-pot:
Propagation Trays - Th Original Root Pruning Container System. (http://rootmaker.com/retail_products.php?Pageload=1#top)

I re-pot to the 1 gallon and then up to 3 gallon pots:
1- and 3-Gallon Containers - The Original Root Pruning Container System. (http://rootmaker.com/retail_products.php?Pageload=2#top)

And see yours here:
RootBuilder Quart and 3-Gallon - The Original Root Pruning Container System. (http://rootmaker.com/retail_products.php?Pageload=3#top)

I just thought you would be interested to know that other growers are using the same products. Plus I was wondering if yours are made by the the same company as they look identical.

I don't think you can do that but you could write to the moderators and ask. The only way I know how to get in touch is to click the <!> icon to report as abuse on the right hand side of your screen. Then ask if they can change the subject but don't hold your breath...

System all in place..:thumbsup:

3 Blockbuster sunsystem 1000w aircooled lights...

above

3 wilma 16 pot systems, 8 pots removed from each system leaving 8 plants per system..!

I cant believe how little space there is in those Wilma systems, only any good for SOG grows i expect..

I have 8 plants in each 16 pot system and im struggling for space..! like almost too small.. glad i didnâ??t get greedy and fill every space in the wilmas.

Ok so the lights have been above the plants a week ago, im vegging using 1000w per 8 plants 24/7..

i have maintained my PH @ 6.0 and increased my EC from 1.1 starting feed to 1.6, as current, i have seen quite rapid feeding, every 24-36 hours the EC had dropped 0.1 so i have been adding 10ml at timed intervals and monitored the rise, then left alone to wait for a drop in EC before adding more feed.. all in all ok i think!>> As this is my first grow i expect something to go wrong, ok so far tho..:thumbsup:

Im using the GHE 3 part nutrient mix, Flora, Bloom, and Micro, ive stopped with the root stimulant and am using the diamond nectar additive, as per the GHE chart..

Initially i was going to top the plants but looking at them there will be no need they are bushy now, and Iâ??m having to rotate the plants about so that the covered leafs can see light at some point, Iâ??m just really glad i didnâ??t fill the systems or i would be having real problems now.!!!!!!!!!!:D
The only slight defect to the plants is the very tips of the leafs or the tip of the largest leafs have dropped slightly, id say almost curling a little, has anyone got advice as to what this could be, it doesnâ??t look major and ill keep an eye on it..!

im looking at fliping them in about a week..! just want a little more height on them befor i do so..

I really want them to start growing tall now, no wider or im gonna have a mass of folage getting coverd up..!

[BalloonBoy]

could anyone tell me what the height increase will be from when i flip them, i want to grow plants aprox 4 foot heigh, so im thinking grow them 1.5 foot in VEG then flip them.. But i have also read the G13Haze grows tall.!

Any growers currently growing G13 or have done, could do with some advice on height range and flowering time..!
