Day 35 of flowering...

[Weed4Life]

Hello everyone I am on day 35 of my first successful grow and here she is at day 35. She has had some salt build up so she is stunted I am sure. Her leaves were dying off quick and I am in the process of a 2nd flush. Hopefully she stops throwing a fit and grows up! Lol. Haven't looked at the trichomes yet, I figure she has a little ways to go still. Got me a pocket microscope from radio shack for $8.50 and its a 60x-100x.Same way as others, I have to cut a small leaf by bud site and put it on my counter and look that way.
Next grow I was thinking of going with a bubbler setup anyone using one now?.

hey your about the same spot i am right now. day 41 on thursday. I just started noticing 2 of my girls showing shit loads on crystals on the leaves and on the calyxes. I can never get a close up picture of the leaves for some reason, using a decent Finepix camera. If there are any photographers around let us know.

[Weed4Life]

Yeah my digital camera is not that great, but it works. Show sum pics of your grow. How are you growing?

Really burnt but seems to me like the smoke will be good :D.

Trim the burnt leaves to make light for the bottom heatlty ones

I'm doing a grow and wonder about this Salt Buildup.

How do you know when you have this salt buildup. Is it present on the leaves?

[Weed4Life]

I believe salt build up occurs when your soils ph is low so there is a nute block and the roots cannot take in the nutes required. I may be wrong but thats what I have learned here.
Bukdatass- Yeah I have been doing that for awhile now. I flushed with 3gal of water to try and clear up the build up. I was going to flush in 2 more days with a mild nuted ph water as a last flush as a last try to correct the build up.
Also, I just added a 150w hps on the side to help fluff out the buddage more during its last weeks.

[Weed4Life]

Yeah well I just flushed my plant again and the ph is low. I guess I will add 2 tbsp od lime per gal of soil and flush it really good agin tomorrow. This sucks. I bet my buds would be huge by now if I didnt have this problem.

How Long do you guys think now until I change Bulbs?
and go to flowering Mode? - I have about 5 foot space in my Box

Also is it true i wont be able to separate males until well into the Flowering phase?

Here are some pics

as long as you want Budweiser

[Weed4Life]

I probably would start to flower those now, but it all depends on how much room you have vertically. The longer you veg them the bigger they will be and the more buds you will get.
You will see signs of sexing in about 1week to two depending. If you notice these balls(clusters) or banana shape things, it is a male and get rid of them! No bud will be produced from a male just pollen sacks.
How old are they? you can throw plants into flowering after like 4 weeks, but you will not get as much growing in soil. Hydro, is awhole other thing which I am reading up on daily. So much but will be worth every word read and dollar spent.

Day 39 and not too much progress except I have raised my soils ph to about 5.0+ and I will water next in about 3-4 days and I will feed with a mild nute solution and a slightly higher PH to raise a bit more. I have also added an additional 150w hps and 2 100w cfl's to help bulk up the lower branches.
Here is pics at day 39:

thanks Guys. i got another 4 foot...so will probably leave it a little longer. i am in uk and when i look at many other growers pics the plants seem much more bushy and fuller than mine do ?...Mine are White Widow and Bubblicious..not sure if its a climate thing or what ?!?! - I would love to do hydroponics as soil is messy indoors too :( its just i havent designed a good closet setup yet for it...what with pipes and drains and stuff..maybe nex time or the one after. when i repotted these from 2ltr to 4 ltr pots last week they were root-bound and tehy are not even that big..i guess with hydro that wouldnt be an issue. Also CO2 enrichment..the cheapest safest way ...so many things ...dusto! - I like your grow..looks nice. I am going to clone next time...growing from seed was a lonnnnng haul...Can you kep a female separate and on vegging like (for months) and use for cuttings or will she eventually die ? - I need to do this but i will ned a seprate box or something

Dont forget to leave a couple feet of height for your hps. Unless your gonna do some training, I would throw them into flower now:thumbsup:
