I suggest going straight to flower as soon as the patient recovers.
So I figure I'd put up some pics of how my 2 gals are doing now. The pot of gold is showing some issues which I will get to later. For now, I will update my trouble shooting forum as things have changed. I put them into flowering Feb 4th.
Your Equipment:
.1) Type and wattage of lights. 250W HPS
.2) Distance from tops? 18-20 inches
.3) Reflector type? bat wing
.4) Is there a consistent fresh air supply? yesh
.5) Do you have an exhaust fan and a circulation fan? circulation fan, door cracked
.6) What are the bulb wattages, kelvin ratings, and schedule? 250W, 12/12 since I am in flowering
Your medium:
.7) Specific brand and type of soil? fox farms ocean forest potting soil
.8) Size of container. 3 gallon
.9) Did you use peat pucks (or similar) to root clones or germinate seedlings? yup
Your nutrients and water:
10) Source of water? (tap, bottled or filtered) What's it's ph before adjusting?I use to use bottled spring water (ph about 7.0-7.3) but I switched to bottled drinking water that has a ph of about 6.0-6.4 (the reason I say 'about' is because I do not have a digital detector, I use drops added to a vial with water in it)
12) Method of adjusting water ph. no method
13) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle. List dosages (quantity per gallon) and current feeding schedule. Tiger bloom (gave the plants the first feeding of flowering last night, was battling a nute problem for some time. The Big blooms NPK is 2-8-4
14) How often are you watering between feedings, and how much per watering? 2 waterings between feedings, about 2/3 a gallon for my large plant and 1/2 gallon my smaller one. It takes more sometimes, I go by the drainage and how heavy the pot is.
15) Any additives or tea's? I had a MG problem for a while, so I added Cal Mag (I stopped)
16) Are your ph levels stable, or do they fluctuate?
17) What is your ingoing water's ph? ...your runoff ph? ingoing is 6.0(ish) outgoing is the same. let me add that I only checked this once in the last month, I just bought the ph testing kit 2 days ago.
18) Do you foliar feed? If so, with what, how often, and at what time do you spray? No :/
Your growroom:
19) Indoors or outdoors?Indoor
20) What size of closet, room or hut?Closet
21) What are the temps and humidity levels while lights are on? ...With lights off? A stable 65-70 degrees during the day, and about 60 at night.
22) Have you seen signs of insects in the growroom? Not anymore..... knock on wood.
Your strain:
23) What strain are you growing? (Indica dominate or Sativa dom?)Pot Of Gold and LA Con. hybrid and indica.
24) From seeds or clones?Clones
25) Is this an autoflower strain?
no
My pot of gold has grown to be over 3 feet tall. Unfortunitly I am noticing some wilting and a few other problems.
When I installed the HPS bulb, the tops of my Pot Of Gold were about 17 inches away from the light. I checked on my plants the next moring and they had grown too close to the light :/
The tops have very slight burnt, I am just noticing wilting elswhere on the plant as well.The second picture shows the wilting the best, you can see from the center of the frame and up is wilting. And the bottom left has a 'claw' affect and slight wilt.
The last pic is my LA con. I have no idea what that is.
