[GcTooL]

Alright some basic information first,

Lights: (Currently in vegging) 2x 40W flouros and 2x 18w flouros ($15 each @ home depot)

3 planted, here's a pic of each of them on March 1st (1st one got fucked up while pruning)

[GcTooL]

Here are April 1st pics (the 2x 40W flouros weren't added untill late march, they improved alot when we added them)

[GcTooL]

Any sugesstions on how to perk up that droopy one are welcome. I don't think it is over watering.

along with proper watering, make sure it has good drainage, and dries between waterings ... looks like it could use more sun, or get closer to the light ... :smokin:

[GcTooL]

any other advice, come on theres alot of oy that I look up too, mand, cptweeman, the postman, hungryMcNasty, bukdatkas, ive always read your advice ,why not shed some on a newcomer who shows dedication :stoned: ?:)

Hello GcTooL :), just keep going on the veggitive growth, you're doing ok ;) .

To be honest I haven't got a clue what to do when they start drooping. I've had that problem with mine on the last two grows when switching to flowering under the HPS and I really don't know why:confused: .
I tried everything I could think of to cure the droop, even bought a new bulb ................ I'm just hoping it doesn't happen this time :o


However on you're last pics, it looked better I think :)

Keep updating and good luck ;)



love mand xxx :)

Everythings looking really good, so what strain are you growing?
Are you adding any nutes yet? is so whats the NPK?

What are you using Maylar or Foil? if you are using Foil I hope you have the dull side aiming towards the plants:thumbsup:

Nice JOb keep it growin:thumbsup: :dance:

[Villui]

nice job man

[GcTooL]

I'm growing 3 different bag seeds, but don't remember which is which so I'm lookinjg forward to suprises

haven't added any nutes, but they are growing in miracle grow, I didn't read anything bad about it untill a few weeks after we used it, but they are doing mostly very well.

It isn't foil, a friend of mine whose growing this with me gave me the material, he said it was a space heater blanket or soemthing like that, I don't really remember, but it's reflective on one side and see-through from outside my grow area. Its not foylor and resembles what ive seen of mylar so ya, I'm using mylar.

by the way one of the pics you posted in the flowering thread I made my background earlier today, thanks haha

[GcTooL]

the NPK of my soil is .14-.14-.14

[Lady Vapor]

I copied what I wrote from another thread. It seems I'm seeing a lot of foil lately...
One thing you could do to improve your light is to do the following...
When you get time, etc. Get some cheap flat white paint - can or spray.
Paint the pots white - it reflects better than foil.
If you deside to stay with the foil do this:
Turn your foil around to make the flat side show out. It reflect better than the shinny side. I read this info in The Cannibis Bible.

Good luck!

They are improving .get as much light as possible to them and you will be ok good differance from both pics(improvement)The postman.

[busteruk7]

cheers all :)

[GcTooL]

[GcTooL]

day 31 flowering pics

[Trivium]

Looking good GcTooL.

Those 40w 4 feet fluorecents really do a number on them dont they. I use 4 of them and couldnt be happier, if you got a mix of cool white lights and warm white lights, I would suggest warm but would go cool if your area is steadily hot.

Edit :: Is it just me or do I not see a fan? Those stems were looking awfully thin, are you using a fan mate? If you arent you would much rather use one, you strengthn the stock and stem of your plants, making for a much stronger and healthier plant.

[Garden Knowm]

SWEET!

can I see a wider shot of your set up that includes the lights and the plant..

: )

[mobay]

if you bend your plant you will have more bud sites, that will get big.

[Garden Knowm]

nice PICTUE mobay.. LOL
sweet

[GcTooL]

ill try to snap a wide one next tmie i update knowm

and yea i have a fan on them don't worry

4 days away from the 8 week mark spotted some new bud growth everywhere today so I might let them grow out a little more before harvest. I picked a sample bud, dryed it in the oven for 15 minutes and cured it for 4 days, then popped it in the vape. I cannot wait not only for harvest but to start my next grow too.

Heres a pic of a bud using cell phone camera + little magnifying glass, ill get better shots before and after harvest time.
