First grow under envirolite

hay peeps i got a problem with my other plants.The 8 hempstar plants that are about 3 weeks into flowering are showing alot of yellowing of the leaves. i would expect some yellowing but there is far to mh by my reconing. I dont think it is nute burn tis time as the higher leaves are showing no signs of yellowing. so it could be just that the plants have decide they dont need those leaves. but there is so mainy any way i might just be worrieng for no reason her are some stats on grow temp`s ph and other stuff:-

Ph: water befor feed 7.3(around 8 befor adjusting), run off 6.8
Temp: lower canopy 24-26 by top of plants 26-29 (depending on weather andtemp of house)
Humidity: 35%-60% (upto 80% if washing is out to dri haha)

if any1 got any idea`s or advise i would be realy gratefull for it even iff it is just to say dont worrie. :)

here are a load of pics hopefully they might help.

ill update on the regular grow soon.

p.s hempstar smells like grapefruit when it is growing any1 know if it tastes like grapefruit?

here are some more pic sorry about quality where taken on my phone

any 1 got any ideas?????? the yellowing is getting worse ..... do i need more nitrogen or should i be cutting down on nutes????? help please any1

Try to post your problem down in Plant problems , maybe u will get some answers .

Btw . . i have the same problem but no solution. Sorry.

If u figured out something don't forget to tell me ! ;)

Peace and good luck ! :thumbsup:

hello :). i rebuilt my veg room into my grow room finaly,woot. i got board of waiting for my light so bought another ballest, cool tude, fan and all the other bits and bobs. so i have a 400w hps in a tiny cuboard. so as u can guess i been figting an up hill strugggle against heat. so i have a 6" inline extrator fan running the cool tube and 2 bathroom extrators and a fan to move the air around. With the doors shut it still reaches around 33.....ouch.... with the door slightly open it goes down to 28 ish. with the doors completely open it goes down to 23 ish. so im guessing i just need to pump more air in :( , but with any more fans in there there is going to be no room for the plants haha.
I have also lst`ed every plant i have to get them ready to flower them im oly going to do 2-3 plant to maturaty depending on the sex of the older ice plant and it still has no preflowers. the younger ice plant has shown defenate signs of being femail. so i know that i have got atleast 1 ice femail....woot :) and im going to grow 1 hempstar plant aswell. with the temps being to high it has ruled out doing any hydropoics for awhile till i can sort out the temps or move to a new flat with a larger space to use. which is a bugger as i had already bought the items i needed :(. ill post some pics of the new grow area when i have taken them.

Any sudjestion on how to get the temp down would be great.

ps. dreamer did u have any luck with finding out what was wrong with your planties?

temp pic is with the doors open

ps. why is my humidy so low its stayed between 15-20 since i have had new light in there. should i put a bowl of water in the room or something??

Nice Plants man..

well i`ve ordered another 6" inline fan should come soon,i dont think i coul live with the doors open all the time but the cost of the ventalation for the grow room is getting stupid. Just the fans have cost me at least 160 pounds :( i just hope it is the last thing i need.

Bowl will help a lot with humidity, it's recommended as a trick for controlling hum. if you are an indoor cultivator :)

cheers lowrider i thought it would prob help, but i guess the real question is . Is 15-20% humidity to low anyway?

well i thought i would update again as im going to throw my plants into flowering tomora hopefully (if fan arives). Thought u might want to have a look at them befor they go wild :)

over the last 3 days they have had a lil growth spirt and are loveing the hps, but the plants stems have gone a bit red which i read can happen if the plant are exposed to extrem temps or some thing :( . hopefully it will all be sorted when the new fan arrives. There are no burnt or wilting yet though so it cant be to bad.

im kinda wishing i went with a 250w witch would have been easy to keep the temps down with but i know if i can get the 400w to work ill get much better results. i just didnt think it would be as much of a problem........i`ll know for next time :)

well here are some pics of the girls, enjoy

1. older ice plant (aint made it`s mind up)
2.younger ice (fem)
3. hempstar plant thats going to be flowerd (fem)
4. plant that will be hempstar motherplant (fem)
5. plants i got to find homes for :( (all fem)

1. nice juicy top bud
2. 3 of the girls
3. the lower canopy


they are about 3 weeks away from being ready. cant wait to c how big those buds get.

dude, i'd keep to envirolite's for all vegging. i dumped all other lamps in favour of these. From cuttings under a 125w, up to the plants under 2 200w lamps. You cut quite a bit of time of your grow cycle and get far more stems with these lights. found them a bit naff for the flowering stage though as the plants still need a small amount of veg light in flower so you end up using 600 - 800 watts worth of light which proves uneconomical compaired to a 600watt hps. had exceptionally good results by using both, plus your hps bulb lasts longer. nice plants by the way.

oops, posted this in the wrong thread, sorry, their also very nice plants :)

hay all hope ya all had a good christmas. :) I had a good one but spent hal te time worrieing about my cutting. I went home for the holidays was only ment to be there for 2 days but got stuck there for 4 :(. i got back and they looked pritty dead apart from 1. i realy hope it pulls through otherwise im going to loss the strain unless i pull 1 of the bigger plants out of flowering (not realy an option).

i got some good news though the older ice plant has finaly shown sex after 10 days in flowering and its a........ GIRL woot. Thats 100% femail plants this grow. It`s getting a bit cramped in the cuboard all ready though, makeing it harder to carry on lst`ing. ill prob just let them do what they want soon or put up a scrog. so far i got a nice even canopy. which im quite proud of as this my first atempt at lst.

as i stuck my plants into flower about 10 days ago i had to bill another veg room for the mothers and cutting`s. i found the perfect space..... under the sink haha. it stays nice and cool in there 21-23 without the fan on and 24-26 with fan on. There is plenty of space which is great as i plan to colect a few strains of plant ( my wish list).

im still waiting on the last fan for the flowering room, the twat on ebay is tacking his sweet time to deliver the thing but after i tried my fans in verous position i got the max temp down to 30-31. which i can live with till last fan comes.

thats about it.

here are some pics
1 and 2:light, ducting and a studid amount of fans
3: older ice plant
4: other ice plant
5: hempstar planty

1 and 2: family shots
3 and 4: veg room
5: hempstar plants from other grow (1-2 weeks from being done)

sup peeps, i thught i better give an update as it been awhile and quite alot has happend :).......

well i guess ill start with that hempstar is a dam nice smoke :) me and my friend have harvested our 8 hempstar plant`s. It`s quite a citracy smell with a smooth smoke and a strong stone that lasts for hours ....wooot. Not bad for a first grow, it`s gaven me alot of ideas for my current grow and genral know how. some1 said to me every time u grow a plant your knoledge of how the plant works and what it wants doubles. I cant wait to sea what im growing next year lol. :jointsmile: we think we got about 7 ounce`s dry but well never know for shure because we harvested 2 plant a lil early and smoked most of it befor was dry and had to split it etc....but i well happy .:joint1: .ill post some pics of the havest later.

Out of the cuttings that i took from the ice plants only 1 pulled through from there christmas ordeal . It has good root growth though and has been repoted. As for the rest of the veg room all is well im going to be takeing cuttings for the next grow in a few day or so to start off the hempstar plants and ill use the 1 ice plant for the next grow aswell. i want to try a scrog for my next grow so i better get the next set of plants going soon. im hopeing that 1 and a half months should be enough veg time to fill the space completely.:rastasmoke:

ill get to the flower room in the next post.

well heres the flowering room update.The plants are um... 21 days into flower now and seem to be doing great. i havent had the nute probs that i expirened with the other grow. so the plants look a bit healther then befor. :) The flowers are realy starting to take shape now but im not shure if they should be bigger for 3 weeks gone..... I realy havent got a clue as to what size they will get. This is the first time i`ve tried to lst so all i can do is hope for the best. The 2 ice plant have realy taken to being lst`d and have filled up most of the space with similar sized buds. The hempstar plant has`nt liked it quite as much but that could be because it is a litle bit younger. Also it seems to favoir it main colia more then the untoped ice plant. im still waiting on that bloody fan from ebay ordered it on the 17/12/07 so the wardrobe is still a lil bit hot 28-30, it does`nt seem to be harming them but im still learning.

if any1 anything in the pic that dont seem right with the plants please tell me so i can fix it :)

1.hempstar notic the size of 1 of the buds
2.toped ice plant
3.untoped plant
4.ice bud
5.some dried hempstar bud

every thing seem to be going well atm. I tested the run off from the plants they where all a bit out.so i ended up flushing which they seemed to like there clean soil now :). They have had a lil growth spirt over the last few day. The ice plants have started to frost up already leaveing the hempstar plant to shame. haha.
