Hey Hemp thanks a lot man, the thing is you have helped me already so much, ya dont know! Im one not to ask so much from one person, as its like taking advantage of someones kindness. But, this timer is so cheep im sorta afraid to trust it. I know ya got a good deal, but you wouldn't have bought 2 if ya didnt need them? If you can spare it, maybe i could just barrow it in till i can buy one, then return it? Every month i buy something to add to my set up. This month was a 30wter, which blew after about 4-5 days:wtf: im going to try and get it replaced, but will see. Also, i got soil and some new pots. So, i wouldnt be able to get one till next month, which will cause me to veg another month and thats something i just dont want to do. My plans were to change the light from 24/7, only to see the differences in the plant growth and possibly pop out a pistil< optimist. lol.

But, i guess if you could let me use it to grow out these, i could eventually get one and send yours back. I would feel comfortable maybe doing this, if its cool with you.

Also, i want you to know i really thank you for all of the help you have given me. My efforts of an indoor grow would not be half as interesting with out the help you have given me. This is so true! So thank you my friend:rasta:

Dont worry about it redtails, its what makes for a good learning experience for anyone that reads it, as well as myself:rasta:

I have 3, 2 spares and the one I am using. So it is no big deal to give it away.

Also have 3 of the mechanical timers, which 1 of them is in use on my seedling/veg chamber.

Just let me know I will be glad to send it up to you. I am not wealthy or anything near it but a few bucks for a timer and postage will not hurt my wallet.

A few crappy pics

As you see i have a problem, but i think its just over watering. Or, the nutes in the soil are burning them. Without any nutes i thought i would try growing them in this soil. My first indoor grow is for experience for the most part. I know its not a good idea to use this soil, but just getting soil is a task for me and to send someone to get nutes would cause more problems the way im doing my grow. I just plan to not add anything, but maybe molasses. Odds are i think its the over watering issue, as the person helping me, dosnt always do what i ask, but only help i have at this time. No water for a couple days i hope will fix the brown looking leaves at the bottom.

1st pic is 3 Skunk/Haze to the right

2nd is best Skunk/Haze

3rd is Edna



:rasta:

Its easier to let an overwatered plant recover than it is to try and save a dry one that is about to die.

Absolutely. Overwatering is cured by time and patience. It looks to me from the slight yellowing of the bottom leaves like whatever nutes were in the soil to start with might be pretty much gone. You may be starting to have a nitrogen deficiency. Hard to tell though if it's because of overwatering, which can sometimes make it hard for the plants to utilize what is there. You'll have to give them some time to get dried out a little, and if the bottom leaves keep yellowing when your moisture content is back in line, check ph to make sure they aren't locked out. If ph is ok, I think a dilute solution of growth nutes is probably in order. Those soil mixes with nutes do tend to run out of nutes, in my case (Fox Farm Ocean Forest) after about 30 days.

Yeah thats the plan my man. It would be much easier if i had a ph test kit but i dont, yet. One bag of soil said it feed for 9 months, which seems a bit much, the next bag was 3 months. Im pretty sure over water, but time will tell:thumbsup: Lockout was my biggest worry using this soil.

Thanks for the advise and stoppin in:rasta:

Well at 30 days with a over watering problem. At least i think, without a Ph test kit, i cant rule that out. Im going to put a better fan in with them that will help dry em out and give excellent air flow:thumbsup:

2 Edna's on the left and 3 Skunk/Haze on the right.

Iv had a couple grow into the lights and also iv had the lights fall on em twice:wtf:. I need to stop the lights from falling, this is something that should be easy to remedy, you would think:wtf:

So of course i think its slowed my growth. I was getting about 2'' everyday and only got an inch yesterday. I think the plants are concentrating all there energy on fixing its injuries:wtf:

OK todays picture shows your soil is a little hot. Maybe a flush or re-potting is in order?
