Do those cups have drainage holes?

[Asmallvoice]

You will need to transplant those soon. When you do, make sure you add about 30% perlite to the mix. The plant seems to be a bit over watered. Adding some perlite will aid in drainage. The soil looks a bit swampy and dark, very easy to overwater in those conditions.

Hi,
Yes the cups have drain holes , I took this pic after watering that way the soil look a bit dark.
I'm giving water every 3 days ....

[RASTA BUD]

Hi , thanks
Do you think I need to transplant them soon ?
They are about 2 weeks old , the soil is a soil with coco mix , I just starting to fertilize with some root boosters .
Do I need to transplant them into the final plant pots now ?

Thanks

Hiya M8,

I would add some perlite to the mix (30%) and transplant them into at least a 1 gallon, if not 2 gallon (depending on how tall you want them). A good rule of thumb is roughly a gallon for every foot in height you want. Go easy on the nutes until they have about 4 good nodes of growth, as this will give them the teeth they need to eat nutes (metaphorically speaking..lol)

small voice means small plants don't tolerate alot of nutrients but will use more as the plant gets bigger.

[RASTA BUD]

Still going bad with the plants !
I just planted them over some bigger pots , but I can see that the lower leafs getting more yellow , I don't know what's the problem , I don't over water them my temp is steady on 26 c , I'm using CFL lights now , the only thing I didn't check is PH I need to get my meter soon , but in this stage tap water is fine , no ??
I don't know what to do ???289542

i have had the same problem before its not overwatering you are starting your feedings too early
1st listen to asmalvoice dont feed until some more nodes apear
2nd those 2 lowerleaves are going to turn brown and die dont pull them off until you see the brown apear or the other leaves will start
3rd tap water isnt good for any stage of growth get distilled or leave your water outside for at least 24 haours beause tap contains small amount of bleach

I stop the fertilizing ( i really didn't gave them a lot only some root busters ) and now I give them only tap water that I leave for 24 overs , I Oslo have revers osmosis water , is that better then tap water ??

I have another question please.. I'm running now a CFL 24 ouers set up , and I have a dual spectrum HPS lamp , is that better to use the HPS DUAL SPECTRUM lamp then the CFL on the vegetative cycle ??

Thanks
Jha bless

[RASTA BUD]

Update...

I just stop give nutrients for a week and just water the plats with RO water , and the plants looking much better.(I'm sorry for the bad photos )
I change the light source from Cfl to HPS dual spectrum 250 watt , and got myself a fogger !
The temp is about 29 to 30C and 45%

The grow space is 60cm x 40cm x 170cm

Hope it's turn up good :rastasmoke: jah bless289673

cool,,
my thought. is that your over thinking everything, usually all of the checmical crap...ph this pd down that, more nutes.. skrew that crap. your in soild bro.. your soild has everything it needs..
hydroponic growing requires heavy eagle eyes watching every last drip of run off. sure soil takes a few weeks longer, but the results are just as good if not better and more pure..

the best thing to do... is DO NOTHING!..

add:
soil
light
water
if your in vegg state. give your plant a high nitrogen based fertilizer after it has REACHed about 8inches tall.. by this time it has sucked up all of the nutrients from the soil. ( so u can boost it some)
wait a week.. check the results then. give it a 1/2 dose of nitrogen
you should be ready to flower once it hits 1.5 feet which will allow for enuph internotes and branches to form.

after the first week you switch the lights to 12/12 give it a 1/2 dose of phosphurous & potasium. like this.. 3-50-40 3 is nitorogen, 50-40 (aka--bannana peals & potatoe skins ground up basically ) high Phosphorus & potasium
you will see thin white hair's pop up in a week. i reccomend. MOB mother of all bloom (dose 1/2 same as bananna & potatoe skins)

wait a few weeks and your buds will form..

then feed it once a week with a high 3-100-100

harvest dry smoke or cook with it


here is my result so far, using 10 cfl's on 4 plants........ for vegging i started with 2, then 4, then 6 as the plants grew. now for flower i have 8 to 10, started with 8 now im using 10 towards the last few weeks to kik it up a bit and create more resin in the pods.
20,000 lumen
and this is my first grow.

if you feel you have messed up somwhere. just dont do anything for 3-4 days. the plant will survive it has for 5000000 years.

thats why its called a WEED! :)

[RASTA BUD]

Hay Growdemon thanks for the answer man , that was one of the best answer I got !!:thumbsup:
I think you right , all my outdoor grows i was doing in the past was just..Water and Sun thats all..and its turn out do be the best grow I had !
That the first time I try indoor so it's looking a bit complex in the start , but I defiantly will take you advice and don't over think about that ;)
I really like your plants thay looking fantastic ! I didn't know you can do that only on CFL lights,,crazy,,
Do you grow on soil ?
How large is your grow space?

Thanks
Jah bless

[growdemon]

yup im using soil,
Kellogg Patio Plus 1.5 cu. ft. All-Natural Outdoor Potting Soil is a rich blend of composted ingredients, including all-natural chicken manure, kelp meal and worm castings.

i use this in all my growing, including for veggies. Ive never had any problems.
Patio Plus 1.5 cu. ft. All-Natural Outdoor Potting Soil-681 at The Home Depot (http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-100160888/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&keyword=kellog+soil&storeId=10051)

my grow space is, something like 2.5ft x 4ft and about 7 ft tall, im trying to go more vertical. but im thinking to revamp some more space. 4 plants is kind of tight but perfect with 20k lumen, its deadly, my skin gets sunburned i mean. CFL burned :O when moving stuff around.

here are a few pics of mine starting out, i took pics every couple days or weeks to use as reference for my future grows.

and thats from doing very little, im stoked. i did a ton of research before i started this. i was trying to find the food i use but cant find it..

after they sprouted, i grew them pretty tall all bunched into 1 pot, then i transplanted into the 6 seperate pots, as u can see how tall i let it get. and most of the early leaves turn yellow and fall off, just let it crumble off.
2 weeks after transplant i fed it high nitrogen fertilizer. i think. a citrus base with 12-4-5 or something close, after they bushed out some 2-3 weeks. i fed it a standard all purpuse bloom fertilizer, like 5-8-4 (something similar) let that sit for a few weeks, then switched to 12/12,
at the end of 1st flower week i gave it a 1/4 dose of Mother of All Blooms M.O.A.B. « Mad Farmer Products Mad Farmer Products (http://madfarmerproducts.com/mother-of-all-blooms)
which is 0-52-32 mad crazy strong sheet
3rd week flower more MOAB
5th week flower tad bit more MOAB
7th week full or double dose. (doing that tomorrow)
then it will be water only for last week

so far so good :rasta:

Update
I am on the 4 week of veg , I started feeding 1 week ago , and the plants are looking better !
I wander if someone can tell me what strain those plants are ??? It's just random seeds I got from a friend , they looking bushy as hell ! 289907

[growhand420]

its pretty much impossible to tell you what strain it is because there are why to many
but its definate that its a indica
but if i had to guess i say it looks like like some bubba kush

[RASTA BUD]

Week 5 from sprouting ....oooo mama..289970:cool:

[RASTA BUD]

Update......:rastasmoke:290059

[RASTA BUD]

New update , the plants looking good so far , I'm in to the 6 week or..7 into veg , the plans didn't show there sex yet I really hope that its females !
I think I will give them 1 or 2 weeks more and flower them ....290091

[Plantguardian]

I think you've done a commendable job RastaBud. Your plants are definitely Indica dominant as evidenced by their fat chunky leaves. You may wanna transplant your girls into the next larger size pot before you put 'em into flower because they're still gonna get another 20-30% larger as they fill out and ripen and that means the roots will continue to grow a bit more as well. Once you switch the light cycle to 12/12 you'll know in a week to 10 days if they're boys or girls, the boys always show sex first so if you don't see lil' balls forming around the nodes by the 7th. day, they're probably both girls. Good luck to ya and keep studying up, you're doin' well. :thumbsup:

Well , I wish I had more space for the plants to gro :( but my grow space is 50 cm X 60 cm X 130 cm
So as for the plants they are all most half of the size of my maximum hight in my grow space .....
So I think I should flower them soon , ,,,,

Well..as you noticed.. this are defiantly indica plants , the one from the right as show it sex and that's a female ! , the one from the right , that I really want her to be a female didn't show sex yet , so do you think male plants show sex first ?? So that means I have good chance that she is female to ?? That will be grate!

I add a pic of
My grow space for you guys , well I hope next grow I will go bigger :rasta::thumbsup:
Thanks , jah bless290200

[RASTA BUD]

Hi , it's bin the second day into flowering and the pants grow to big to the space I have , so I had to do something about it .. So I did some SCROG and LST so I can control the plants a bit...I hope I did it good:(
I will upload some pictures soon..

Can someone tell me pleas how long it's taking to see buds forming after changing to 12/12 ?
Jha bless

[Lit Up]

Keep an eye on those canopy temps. Plants look stressed a bit, probably from heat. You can see how the leaves curl up real suddenly and some of your secondary growth is retarded (even number of fingers, rounded tips more) you can see it in some of your other pics. I'd transplant as soon as you can, if you haven't recently.

[Mal420xl]

takes a little bit to get going but every strain is lil different. theyll show you soon enough

[RASTA BUD]

Hmmm..... What is happening with this plant leafs ? It's going canoeing shape ...:( I don't understand what's the problem , do you think it's overwatering ?? Im giving water every 3 days.... PH is normal...
And that's happened only to one plant , the other is fine . Maybe that strain is sensitive to heat.. Over heating ?290387

[Mal420xl]

heat or overwatered maybe?

[RASTA BUD]

heat or overwatered maybe?

I hope that's the problem , i just move my lights up and I will not give water to that plant until the soil is completely dry ,
And maybe I will give him only fresh water , to see that is not fertilize problem.

The pants are 6 days into flowering and I don't see any hairs or anything !?!? Someone....is that takes longer to see...????:(:wtf:

[RASTA BUD]

Shit !!! I have one MALE !!!!!!!! :wtf::wtf:

[Mal420xl]

females take a little longer to show just be patient
