Does this look healthy?

[Kerplunk]

This plant is now about 4weeks old does it look healthy? Its my first grow.:cool:

[Captain Hanks]

give it more room to grow(bigger pot)

[Tokudai]

^ What he said - about time for a larger pot...hard to see details, but the color looks good. No burned edges. Nice fat indica dominant leaves.. How tall is it and what kind of light is it under?

[Kerplunk]

here are some pics from today couple of the bottom leafs are turing brown. as for the light its natural sunlight plant is about 8inch. about the pot i have a bigger one but im afraid i might killl it when i transplant its happened before.

[mellogold]

what kind of soil you using? nutes?

your plant looks like its be ing overwaterd

imho i would flush the hell out of it then do not water the plant untile you can stick your finger in the dirt and actually feel it dry, or wait till the pot feels really light

[bud breath420]

looks a little stretched ... is that bagseed cus it looks like the strain i have.... omg man!! your pic is awesome!!! hahahaha the hamburgers eating the little kiddy!! lmao that topped my day off man!!! STONED!!!!:stoned: :stoned: :stoned:

[Kerplunk]

I flushed it the other day and its looking better here are some pics.

[Garden Knowm]

Hey Kerplunk,

That plant needs more light...
Becareful you do not over water your plant.. water it thoroughly and then let the soil dry out.. you shuld water every 3-10 days depending on plant size and temperatures..

can you get a CFL from walmart or Homedepot and put it on your plant.. about 1 inch away?

I am guessing that yo are using window light? Suplemental lighting will make a world of difference.. You can get one of these cfl (150 watt/ 42 watt actual consumption) lights for 10 dollars.

iloveyou

: )

[smoky mcpot 05]

overwatered, take it easy on the nutes, and more light.

[Kerplunk]

here are some more pics..

can anyone tell me what those leafs growing on the stem are?

[elway07]

just more branch leaf growth... you will have a brach growing there eventually..
plant looks droopy maybe a water issue with a too much nutes issue...

[Kerplunk]

new pic cant really see anything leafs are losing color and tips are brown.

[alienhybrid]

How can you tell it needs more light?

[Nochowderforyou]

How can you tell it needs more light?


Because the plants stem is stretching.

Yes, you need more light. Are you growng that by a window? If so, take it outside or get it under some proper lighting. Plants do not grow well by the window and it is stretching because it wants more light. The stretching cannot be ignored or avoided if it isn't corrected.

Are you feeding it yet? If so, what, and how much? Then we can help with the browning tips, but that is a classic sign of too much nutes.

If you haven't fed it anything yet, now is time, or the leaves will brown up and die.

It's hard for me to tell if it's overfeeding or underfeeding. Give us more info on your feeding habits with this plant and we can help you out a little better.

Your plant looks very healthy, but needs more light. :)

[Kerplunk]

yeah we are growing it by the window its geting way to big for that though, we are gonna transplant it soon so it dont get rootbound. We are feeding it miracle grow, we have feed it like 4 times, every other week we have a light we put it under during the night for a couple hours then during the day its in the window but we are starting to put it outside but we live in AZ and its like 85-100 outside sometimes. we know its a female it has pistils/ white hairs coming out of it. here are some more pics...

[Kerplunk]

which pot should i transplant it too? also if anyone has any tips on how to get out the plant as to not damage it that would be cool.

[graph]

3 gallon pots are primo.

Wait for it to get pretty dry and tap on the pot. You want it to all come out in one piece. If the dirt looks like it's going to seperate, don't do it and wait for it to get dryer. If you can, you could also just the bottom out of the smaller pot and make a hole about the size of the pot in the bigger, and there you go. The roots will find their way.

Window light isn't the right amount of light it needs. Buy some cfl's, you got some stretching. Put in the cfl's and you should be alright.

[Garden Knowm]

Window light will (most likely) not be adequate.. make sure you supplement it with CFLs..

cheers

: )

DAMN GRAPH... I just read you post... you BEAT ME.. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!

BWAHAHAHAH. Oh, and I'll have something for you in a few days, knowm. No offense, I put you on back order while I had to deal with some crybabies.

And no one's smarter than the knowm...:dance:

[smoky mcpot 05]

stay away from clay pots, they absorb much of the water. Also I'm pretty positive that that plant will be male because of all the stress you've done to it. Sorry but thats how it works.

[Nochowderforyou]

yeah we are growing it by the window its geting way to big for that though, we are gonna transplant it soon so it dont get rootbound. We are feeding it miracle grow, we have feed it like 4 times, every other week we have a light we put it under during the night for a couple hours then during the day its in the window but we are starting to put it outside but we live in AZ and its like 85-100 outside sometimes. we know its a female it has pistils/ white hairs coming out of it. here are some more pics...

Actually those pics are looking good. I can't see any sign of overfeeding, or not enough to be alarmed out.

MG is not the best food to be using, as it isn't made for resin producing plants. Your plant will survive and live, but you won't get the most out of it.

Just get that plant outside in the sun for a few hours each day, and every week, increase the sun exposure of the plant every 2 hrs, so it doesn't get burnt up from the hot AZ sun. Start with a few hours each day, and slowly increase.

Feed once a week or every two weeks. Don't over do it now. The plants health in the vegg. stage reflects the outcome of the flowering stage. Keep her healthy, and good things will come.

Good luck.

[Kerplunk]

:o
im seeing more yellowing and more brown spots on leafs, thinking now that its in a bigger pot that will slow down and or stop

[Garden Knowm]

Is that a 3 gallon container?

If it is, you are fine with container size.

Are you PHing your water between 6-7 ?

iloveyou

[Kerplunk]

yeah its about 3 gallons or more need a bit more soil.

im using bottled water "aquafina" to water it.

[Nochowderforyou]

The size of pot is fine.

I think you have a slight case of a Nitrogen deficiancy. Leaves are dying from the bottom up and brown spots it looks like.

I read that you have only fed it 4 times. I suggest feeding it again within the nest few days before all the leaves die. Just don't feed over the recommended amount as that will create a whole new set of problems.

The plant right now needs something high in Nitrogen (N-P-K). I use 5-1-1 Fish Emulsion (organic), but there are plenty of other choices out there. Just pick one that has a high N number compared to the rest. If your MG has that, then feed again.

Good luck.

[Kerplunk]

MG i have is 15-30-15

[Kerplunk]

:o :o :o

[Kerplunk]

more pics yooooo

bottom leafs are dying off it seems + brown spots

ooh and theres red hairs starting to come up

i have some new food its 12 - 5 - 8

[Garden Knowm]

Mr. PLUNK.. hello dear sir..

careful with the nutrients.. Brown tips usually mean over feeding.. nutrient burn.. yikes..

thanks for the pictures

LOVE LOVE
LOVE LOVE

[ThePurpleMan]

yea nice looking plant but i think your over doing the nutes

[betterhomesandgarden]

I do not think you need to repot at this time. Wait until the roots start to cover the walls of the pot you are using. To many of my friends seem to want to upgrade the container size before the roots have used up 50% of the soil. It's just to damn easy to over-water when you have a big pot.

BHG

[Kerplunk]

which light would be better? the one on the right is a halogen 60 watt. the one on the left is a CFL 60 watt also.

[Kerplunk]

my plant is now under cfl and alot growth is happening and starting to get hairs which started out white but are now a redish color


but the bottom leaves are slowly losing color and dying off im guessing to much nutes and as i was outside the light fell and burned the right side of the top three tiers
and sadly thats not all, the new growth from tie IIth tier and up are rapidly changing yellow

[Kerplunk]

should i put my plant in 12/12? its been a couple of months

[Kerplunk]

pics

[Garden Knowm]

yes 12/12..

add more CFLs along the side of your plant..

The plant is having a nutrient deficiancy... are you PH ing your water?

NO HALOGENS

cheers

[Kerplunk]

wait more nutes?
i thought i had given it too many nutes
brown spots=nute burn right? brown tips
the brown hairs?
and all the new growth has only three leaves
would 15-30-15 be good
and thank you :)
ill take pics after first week of 12/12

[Kerplunk]

no i am not phing my water i am feeding her aquafina

Right now have a cfl one inch from top and halogen on the side and alot of new hairs good bad?

[invision]

lack of N there

[gunge9]

Kerplunk that weed looks terrible boss, better give it to me to rear :) Only joking, hang in there boss.

[m.g.]

halogens are no good for growing and you'll need a shitload of those little flouro bulbs to make anything worthwhile...at least four of those for no more than a couple plants and even then i think you'd do better with the tube-type of flouro's...if you absolutely must go that route.

you also should be diluting that miracle grow solution down to 1/3 of what directions call for, half for established plants. never use full strength and only once every 10 days or so...and you do know the high "P" is for flowering...eh?

[Garden Knowm]

Yo KerPlunk!!

iloveyou

The lack of N may be because the PH is not correct.. If your ph is NOT 6.5-6.9.. your plants will not be able to absorb/EAT the nutrients...

yikes..

GO get a PH kit.. they are Cheap.

iloveyou

[Kerplunk]

only two nodes are like that the rest have brown tips and spots and every week a leaf drops
where can you buy this PH thing and how much will it cost me, im currently broke

Total cost so far $0.00

[Kerplunk]

ok last week or two weeks back my light fell on top of the plant and burned the right side of the top three nodes thats when the yellowing started does this help?
one leaf is hanging from stem is ok to snip it?

[Kerplunk]

i've decided to do 12/12 light 6am to 6pm darkness 6pm to 6am

any tips? and ill be feeding her the 15-30-15 mg, how much should i use ?

[elway07]

I still think that would be too much N for a flowering plant M8 especially with all of the issues you have been having. This is what I would do....
Yes put it into 12/12. Flush the shit out of it first to get rid of any and all build up of salts etc from the ph/nute issues. go to your hydroponics store or anywhere you can buy "foxfarms tiger bloom" nutes. They will know what you want. the NPK of that is 2-8-4 with micro nutes and minerals in it. That is perfect and has worked wonders for my grows. After you flush your plant, put 1/2 of teh recommended amount in with a gallon of water, add 1/4 teaspoon of superthrive ( you can get it at wal mart Home depot or any gardening shops). Before you water your plant with it, get a ph water tester kit including the ph up and ph down solution form your hydropinic stores (they are everywhere) and run a drop test with your water. Since you have flushed your medium until the water coming out the bottom is clear, you should not have any more issues as long as you follow the steps above. Always know the ph of your water and nuted water before applying. That is what really matters. After the first feeding, go up in strength gradually to the recommended amount. I use 1.25-1.5 tsps of tiger bloom per gallon of water... I hope this makes sense.... good luck

iloveyou

and NOW you KNOWM

[Kerplunk]

right now im dead broke and wont ae getting money anytime soon :(

the only nutes i currently have are 12-5-8 and 15-30-15
the 12 mixes in with the soil, and the 15 mixes with water
when you flush can you use hose/sink water?
and should i be able to tell my plants sex by now? thankyou elway an known

[elway07]

I agree with knowm... That is exactly what I use and was talking about. If you absolutely cannot come up with any funds for getting what was mentioned above, then go with what can be mixed in water only. Screw that other crap. when you flush use tap water if you have to but if you do not have the ph kit knowm and I were talking about you are still going to see some problems arise without knowing the ph you use to flush or the ph with your nutes. As I said if you cannot get ahold of those things whatsoever, flush it with room temp tap water, follow directions for feeding on the bottle that is diluted in water and feed her with that. do not use too much as youwill fry your plant. Water only when soil is getting close to very dry. I have 5 gallon buckets but water every 5 days. When I water them though, I give them about 3 gallons of water each to flush out some old buildup and allow for better nourishment. just my two pennies worth. Good luck

[Kerplunk]

ok i just finished flushing untill all the yellow water ran clear

all new leaves are drooping and i have her under the light

i will be starting 12/12 on monday and i dont know about the nutes
anyways wish me luck :) thankyou guys
i will be taking pics after first week of flowering

[Kerplunk]

today was the first day of 12/12
would the light of a tv effect the lighting schedual ?
after first week will be seeing buds?

[OregonsDank]

Dont let them get any light, no tv, no light bulbs, nothing more than a pale moonlight for a few moments a day.

[Kerplunk]

thanks for the info bro
how much in height will my girl grow in this lighting?
How much longer must i wait ?

[OregonsDank]

8 or 9 weeks counting drying it if you pick early, maybe 10 or 11 weeks if you wait til totally ripe.

[Garden Knowm]

pictures? : )

[Kerplunk]

i will take pics next monday

[Kerplunk]

Today is the second day of 12/12I will try to get some new pictures up tonight
I will also start feeding her 15-30-15 mg as soon as I find it

[Kerplunk]

So 11 more weeks max huh I hope the wait is worth it, durring this stage how much will she grow in height?
and you guys have any tips i could use?
ThankYou :)

[Kerplunk]

here are some new pics needless to say i think a good flushing is what it needed. the top leafs that grew after the flush are big as fuck and all around more healthy. its starting to smell a littlle *Mmmmm* gonna give it some nutes soon im sure it needs some after a flush.

[Garden Knowm]

Yeah very funny, the reason why she is so streched is becuase i didnt get lights till a couple weeks ago :(
once the pre flowers get fat does that mean their going to bloom?

[Kerplunk]

Today is day four of 12/12 and i see no major changes, just more pistils and leaf growth, and she reeks of skunk
I fed her 15-30-15 today ill take new pics of her at the end of the second week of flowering October 10,2006 im hoping to see bud devolpment

[mellogold]

dude you wont really notice any real pistil growth till around week 2, my diesel dont start to show till around week2-3 but when she does holy hell, esp if you growwin hydro

you can go look at a hydro plant in bloom one day then the day after its a waaaaaaaaaaaay bigger bud ther...lol

[Garden Knowm]

Kerplunk... Iloveyou!!!

this is one of my favorite threads.. keep the pictures coming!!

: )

[Kerplunk]

Garden Knowm im going to make you suffer and not take pictures till the end of the second week, or maybe longer
shes about 2 feet now no major changes just more leaves and pistils

[Kerplunk]

I promise you guys my second grow will be onehundred times better than this one
I cant wait untill im done with this one

ps. gk try growing with just one 6O watt cfl, wont be easy will it

[Garden Knowm]

oh bro... c'mon....

keep the pics coming..

: )

[Kerplunk]

its been seven days since i started twelve/twelve and shes just gotten couple inches taller no major changes :(
Well got $22.OO and i will be going to home depot tomorrow hopefully I will find some CFL's and maybe some nutes for under 2O bucks
I wish i could just fast foward though to the harvest
I'll get those pictures up Friday or saturday maybe sooner, I'ii try to get three CFL's on her by this week

[Kerplunk]

ok when leaves yellow and fall off is that under or over feeding?

[Kerplunk]

well didnt go to home depot today, but gave her nutrient rich rain water,
everday a new node apears and four internodes from those i have no idea what strain she is
i think i will take pictures tomorrow afternoon before the lights go out

[Kerplunk]

today is day 9 and she has grown a inch over night
the top half of my plant is healthy and the bottom looks shity two yellow leaves' i wish i could just cut the top half off and start from there but that would probally kill her
i would take pictures but she looks crapy right now
only two/thirds of the plant has foliage but everytime one leaf falls off two more grow
I had to move my light up becuase the leaves' started to touch it and burn
I need to go buy more lights to put on the sides of her

[Kerplunk]

ok just bought two GE soft white CFL's one 100 watt with 1700 Lumens, and one 75 watt with 1200 lumens will be testing them out tomorrow
i will post picks of the bulbs

[Kerplunk]

pics!

[Garden Knowm]

ok when leaves yellow and fall off is that under or over feeding?

Usually this happens to lower foliage because it is not getting enought light.. If a plant gets over fed, the leaves will turn BROWN and fall off..

cheers

Haha I'm laughing to myself right now cause your setup is so ghetto looking; however, whatever works!

This is basic growing right, this is the most basic setup one can have
and Garden Known yeah every week or so one or two leaves will fall off, my plant has so many problems: nutrient d, and burn? weird and from all the stress shes been though she was only producing 1 to 3 fingerd leafs but now its back to 5 everday i have to higher the lights she grows alot

cfl's are the powersaving lightbulbs that you can find anywhere i bought mine at safeway

Learn how to transplant, and you won't even stress your plants, much less kill them.

Kerplunk, don't listen to anyone hating on the ghettoness of your grow. Some people can spend hundreds and kill everything anyway. Keep us posted :)

[Kerplunk]

it's a tree.. not a plant.. LOL

I wish she was a tree, I can't get the nodes to grow short all nodes are about 1/2 inch to an inch apart my light used to be an inch away but the leaves would fold like a taco so I moved it two or three inches away
can anyone tell the strain?
Do you she will be done around thanksgiving?

I dont think she needs more light
currently she is getting 2900 lumens
garden known i dont know if I should focus the light on the top or not cause all the bottom leaves are falling off i had the 75 watt at the bottom but that didnt help so I moved them both to the top
The bottom leaves have rust spots and some top leaves have discoloring i dont know whats wrong
HOW BIG DO YOU THINK SHE WILL GET?

[Garden Knowm]

Kerplunk.. The more CFLs the better.. If you can surround her with CFLs you would be da man...

She will probably double in size during the first 2-3 weeks of flowering and then she will NEARLY STOP ALL vertical growth..

let me see a picture of your current light set up.

New pic leaf that fell off. Not sure if its heat stress, (N) deficiency, NutBurn, or if our PH is messed up.

Should i flush it once every 3 days in flowering, how does that go?

Drying. Should i dry it for 2weeks oR 1 month ive read the longer the more "Dank" the bud will be but 1 month seems a bit long.
