someone help.. filled out form here and included pics.. 3rd timer and never a prob.

Were I you, I'd check the Fox Farms feeding schedule. (the link is in my signature) It's a weekly schedule you can download and print. Follow it closely. Big Bloom isn't a stand-alone nutrient, it's a catalyst tea formulated to compliment the other two in the three-pack. Micro's and other goodness are in the Grow Big for growth stage, and Tiger Bloom for flowering stage.

Way past time to transplant.

If you are getting good soil, why screw around with it? Mixing different soils isn't a good idea in the first place. Why did you add your own mix...are you re-using the soils? (very bad idea till you know what you are doing)

What's the ph of your melted snow?

Remove dead leaves...? Yes
Remove dying leaves...? No

Would lower your 400w HPS to within 18 inches, and check the increase in heat with the back of your hand. Right now yuo are way too far from the plants. During the winter I was getting the lamps within 12 to 14 inches.

alright def appreciate the insight.... I got my mycorrhizae today and am transplanting some and using a little bit of it near the roots.... also... I am pretty much using straight happy frog soil and foxfarm ocean forest... I just had some soil that i was using before and wanted to see if it made a difference since I was doign a tent this time.... and no i def do not reuse soil. the melted snows ph is around 7. I do have all 3 of the foxfarm nutes.... but for weeks one and two you just use the big bloom... so i am not sure what you mean by it is a tea... do u mean it is just preparing my ladies for when the grow big is added as well? i will lower my lights some... The temperature in my tent is staying right around 70 F.

do you consider leaves that are not jagged seems to just look oval to me and have spots and are drying dead..or dying?

One thing about your bottom leaves. They will never get well after growing out that far. If you don't like the look of the plant you could trim that branch, but some plants don't like that very much and you get a stressed plant. You need to concentrate your eyes on the new growth and make sure that the leaves are growing properly and fix accordingly...

Hope you can make sense of this...

Keepin' it hazy,

Here's the response I got when I e-mailed FF to ask about the need for micronutes if using their Big Bloom as a stand-alone...

Thank you for your e mail.
Big Bloom does not have enough phosphorus in it to use as a stand alone fertilizer when your plant is flowering.
You can use Big Bloom in combination with Tiger Bloom.
Big Bloom can be thought of as a catalyst. Big Bloom can be used the entire plants cycle, on new plants, and on plants that are not doing well.

It gives the plants a gentle nudge without overpowering them. Tiz why it can be used on new or struggling plants. Not enough oomph in it for using as a stand-alone nutrient. Especially nearing the flowering stage. Plus, it doesn't contain the necessary micronutes. Micro's are in the other two products in the trio.

But plants in mid-growth stage or flowering, it definatelly needs the other nutrients. (Grow Big or Tiger bloom for their respective stage)
