No Idea.. plants little over a month old... on second week of foxfarm nute schedule
Guessing games are fine for other sites not geared twords the medical use and growing of cannabis. But I'd be pretty friggin pissed if I was having problems, and most of the answers I got put my meds in danger. Hell, I'm bummed and they're not even my plants. :wtf: How long do you think it will take him (and other newbies trying to gain growroom insight) to un-learn bogus information?
irydyum and cigarettes 42 gave you accurate answers.
I'd bump the ph up a tad, and it looks like underwatering and time for a transplant. CalMag is unnecessary till flowering, if even then. Mostly used in mid to late flowering. I like unsulfured molasses better, but some prefer to lay-out that extra cash for a diluted version. (CalMag is basically diluted molasses) I'd do a good flush and transplant when dried-out enough to do so.
Those of you that offer guesses, how would you feel if you were having problems and most the responses set you on the wrong path? Would you simpley shrug your shoulders and say "oh well", or would you be a little pissed at the undereducated guesswork going on here?
It's simple...if you don't know what you're doing, don't offer someone else advise. Period.

hey there rusty! def awesome to see ya and get your advice!.... I took your advice and transplanted many of them into 2 gallon buckets... what size would you think is good for their final transplant??
I will def lay off the calmag... I think I waited too long into their growth to start feeding and am now reverting back to the foxfarm feeding schedule and on week 2 of the feed when they are really over a month old.. any suggestions??

I only touch subjects that I know I can help someone on, and if Marcaka hasn't already learned that he has to verify info that he reads on these threads by searching through other threads and books and whatever else he can get his hands on then he's the one not valuing his medicine. Its up to him whose info he chooses to go on. Me personally I would use your info cuz it you know what you are talking about. However you don't always post to the rescue:(
Plants are lookin better Marcaka keep it up:D

does anyone agree with the comment that I should make my ph more acidic or drop it down lower than 6.3-6.7 when feeding and ph around 7 when watering?

Was trying my damndest not to point fingers, since there were a couple of members playing this guessing game. But none of these guessers bothered to mention that the info provided may be a guess. That's an important distinction when looking to establish your "street cred".
This isn't a competition, this is a community. A community of medical cannabis growers trying to successfully take their meds to harvest. It's up to all of us to do the research and post what you know, not what you think.

Not really. Ph swings will stress the ladies. Keeping it in range is a great idea, but try to tighten the range up a tad. On watering day, I aim for 6.5-ish. (soil grows) On feeding day I aim for 6.9-ish before adding nutes, which brings my final ph down to 6.3 to 6.4-ish.
But, I use half-strength FF nutes, twice a week. Were I to water once a week, I'd have to re-adjust my water's ph prior to use. If I adjusted my water to 6.9, and add full-strength nutes...the acidic nutes would drop the ph to near 6.1 or 6.2. (too low for me)
Every gardener will have to dial-in their water/nutrient situation, as different municipalities treat their water differently, and underground wellwaters vary widely. For instance, my water is from a well on my property, and is buffered underground with calcium-magnesium. Comes out of the tap at 7.9 to 8.

Yes, I'd hold off on Grow Big and Big Bloom for a week.
Which week of flowering nutes are you running them on, per the FF chart? I'd avoid the additional Grow Big they recommend early in flower, at least for a couple of weeks, and cut the Big Bloom in half for the same timeframe. The deep green shows me you've got plenty of nitrogen already.
Learn to grow...then learn to optimize your grow. In that order. :thumbsup:

rusty! thanks and please keep checking on this thread bc i need help... first time with nutes and I am trying to get something down but they all just look terrible at the bottom... ill post pics here shortly and hopefully you can diagnose them... i def hope atleast :thumbsup:
on watering.. just got the ph tester i actually did a good job guessing with the solution and mixing to see the ph but i am def going to tighten up the ph range now... watering days-6.5 feeding days-7 then add nutes to bring it down to 6.3
I am also feeding 2 times a week as well and using half strength FF.
Rusty what do you mean by which flowering nutes am I running?? You are meaning in week 5 what am I going to be using correct? If so, I have the Tiger Bloom. I am looking at getting cha-ching by FF or beastie bloomz by FF any suggestions??? also, for weeks 7,8, 10 I have snow storm ultra...
Rusty another question for the little ones.. you say to hold off a week on nutes.. I def think so too because right now they look really good and green and growing.... but if I wait a week and then feed, would you start on week 1 nutes? because then by week 5 they are going to be pretty big I would think... but i guess thats the point :jointsmile:
Also, you say cut out the GB and BB for weeks 7 and 8, per the foxfarm schedule? and do you only drop the BB for the weeks im dropping the GB? or stop with the BB as well and start week 5 with 1/4 strength Tiger Bloom? week 6.. 1/2 strength then week 7 full strength? unless they look terrible?
