Here's the latest pix. Fed yesterday and added some blackstrap molasses to their nute solution. I'll do that until I flush the last two weeks. I cannot wait to see what kind of yield I get. That could determine whether I even have another grow. Can't wait to vape some either. Sorry again for the photo quality. Shitty camera and shitty photographer. Enjoy.
Looking great man! Let's hope you continue with it, I made the mistake of giving up for 7 yrs after a bad incident and am just getting back into it myself. If you don't though, I'm down in AZ and can probably come up and snag some of your equipment off ya lol.
I feel much better now. Thanx.Quote:

Man, mine never looked that bad. Hard to believe that's healthy.
Yeah i know, but i found it in the problem section and he used it as an example to the others with over under feeding. Also many other issues a grower might have. I thought of ya when i saw it. I thought it might ease your worries:thumbsup:Quote:

I'm glad you helped your plants back to health, but I was wondering why you pruned so many of your leaves between Day 17 and Day 20?Quote:

I have only ever removed leaves that had absolutely no green left, so that they were incapable of photosynthesis. Whatever made the leaves turn yellow also eventually made them fall off, which tells me they weren't doing the plant any good. the only ones I took off were about to fall off anyway. The plants mostly pruned themselves.Quote:

I'd like to see what size pot that plant's in, too. Betcha too small.
Sorry, I tried not to comment on this, but IMO that's a poor representation of a nitrogen-deprived, but otherwise healthy plant.
LSY, if you know Green Man, tell him I recommend he take that girl out for dinner and a few drinks, and maybe buy her some new (bigger) shoes. :D
Sorry to thread-jack and be an asshole critic. But that's a pretty skanky-looking plant. Seriously. :hippy:
I've had periods of moderate sucess...and then months of failure and then since I changed to doing it this way...I have great sucess, only loosing maybe 2-3 out of 25.
-I use standard 10x20 tray, with humidity dome. Fill it 2-3 inches with peralite. Water the peralite with warm water. Put it one a heating pad. And then use rapid rooter clone plugs per Stinky Attic sticky.
-I open vent 1/4 and don't touch them for 4 days. Then open the vent more and daily take the cover off for a few minutes. After a week I start checking for roots every other day, and if the plugs or peralite dry out I might add more warm water.
When I had my troubles I believe part of the issue was my cloning solution had gone bad. My hydro guy instructed me to keep it in fridge and use only a spoonful at a time. Now I get tiny sized portions from him, they are like $3 each and the size of carmex lip stuff. PERFECT. Sterile and sealed, open the thing. Do two trays, 40-50 clones total, and throw the thing out.
Thank you for the input. I've figured out something that is working for me. I actually started off having too much water in the tray, but more importantly (I think) was spraying the clones with a wilt-stop type product. I also started using a tiny bit of H2O2 and Botanicare's Jump Start in my pre-soak of my rockwool cubes, and started with a lower ph for the pre-soak solution (5.5-5.8). I'm finally getting an acceptable success rate, so much so that now I could use more veg space. A good problem to have I suppose. Thanx again.Quote:

Now of course everyone as ''thier'' own methods, but some ideas are very different. Dont get me wrong i think there is some good info, but i tend to go with what the growers here advise, as i can see their results and that speaks for its self. But iv found some useful info there. I guess you need to buy into what makes sense. As far as that plant, didnt look right to me, but with senorx's problem i thought it would help him see that maybe his plants could be similer to what was called a healthy plant.Quote:

I figgered that. I know you want to help. :thumbsup:Quote:

But Senor's plants look very good to me. Certainly better examples of N-hungry, but healthy, than the Green example. Senor's yellowing seems just a tad extensive for the plants' age, and it's affecting the younger plant structures a bit more than seems usual to me, but this may be 'normal' for his strain under his conditions. (At this point, Senor's thinking, "Would you quit talking about me in the third person in my own thread? :wtf:)
Here is the first page I landed on when I checked out Green's page. There is a lot of really, really bad advice here:
Human urine? :lol5: Might help keep deer away, but as a soil amendment? :wtf:Quote:
Bend a young plant's stem back and forth to force it to be very thick and strong. Spindly stems can not support heavy flowering growth. An internal oscillating fan will reduce humidity on the leave's stomata and improve the stem strength as well. The importance of internal air circulation can not be stressed enough. It will excursive the plants and make them grow stronger, while reducing many hazards that could ruin your crop.
HYDROPONIC VEGETATIVE SOLUTION, per gallon:
Miracle Grow Patio (contains trace elements) 1 teaspoon
Epsom salts 1/2 teaspoon
Human Urine (OPTIONAL - may create odors indoors.) 1/4 cup
Oxygen Plus Plant Food (OPTIONAL) 1 teaspoon
This mixture will insure your plants are getting all major and minor nutrients in solution, and will also be treating your plants with oxygen for good root growth, and potassium nitrate for good burning qualities. Another good GROWTH PHASE mix is 1/4 tsp Peter's 20/20/20 fertilizer per gallon of water, with trace elements and oxygen added, or fish emulsion. Fish emulsion is great in the green-house or outdoors, where smells are not an issue, but is not recommended for indoors, due to its strong odor.
Potassium nitrate to help "burning?" (If you're making cannon fuses, maybe...) :wtf: Wonder if he flushes his nutes...
Fans "reduce" humidity? (they might lower relative humidity if they raise the temperature enough)
WTF is "excursive" the plants??? (Excursive means "prone to digression")
Not to mention the contradiction between the stated importance of air circulation and the inability of that droopy-ass plant to permit it.
And if you add ALL the crap-ola he's recommending into a single gallon of nute solution, well, I'm looking for some tip burn just to start things off. Hope you're not running young sativas...
There is no "Greenman." That whole site's just a link-referral-sales B.S. entity, with obsolete, sketchy info stolen from other sites and not checked for accuracy. Their goal is to make $$$, not provide useful info to patients who need meds. That's what's got my goat; I have friends and relatives who depend on MMJ--and this whore could mislead them.
Rant off. Senor, here's your thread back, and again, I'm sorry. :hippy:
Its all good dh.Quote:

Congrats and I hope the yeild is great. Good luck
Thanx for stopping by. I should have some new pics up tonight or tomorrow.
As you can see, my girls have lost most of the chlorotic look that had me so worried. Some pretty tasty frosting developing too. Some of the main colas are starting to make the main stems sway quite a bit back and forth if bumped. I'm getting pretty pumped. What an emotional roller-coaster this pursuit is. Who'd 'a thunk it?:dance:
They look fabulous senor! :thumbsup:
Nice pics too. If you send any to a dispensary send me a PM, I'd like to try a little! :D
:hippy:
Beautiful! :thumbsup:
Hey senorx first of all your plants look amazing. Im here all the time and looks like your right up there with the best of them for sure:thumbsup:. And emotional, i totally agree as i feel the same way while watching a plant grow, but these plants grow so fast that as they develop you can watch almost in slow motion.Quote:

DreadedHermie has taught me a lot with his in put iv simply read in his posts. I had never read what he posted from that site, or i would have never posted that pic. I feel very embarrassed over it, as i claim to be no pro like him but iv grown a few plants and enjoy helping others, as they have helped me. But using piss for a nute solution, had i read that we wouldn't be talking about it. I didn't buy into every method discussed, but i had no idea it was such a poor site. My BAD!:hippy:
Keep er green my friend :weedpoke:
:rasta:
I've always taken your posts as intended to be helpful, and in this instance cannot even imagine what you've said for which you feel compelled to apologize, or for which to be embarassed. Thank you for blessing my grow with your compliments, but I'm more of a newb than you are, and in this case have gotten lucky. Well, that and spending way too much $ on lights and utilities. Wait 'til summer and I'm frantically looking for advice on cooling my flowering room.:thumbsup:
hey guys i nee help as well i have this 31 day old bag seed plant very short and bushy wanted to know what to do bout when to flower i only have in a stealth sub box bout 38 inch tall u can see pics of it in "social groups cfl growing"
Typically, if the plant's most recent growth is alternately branched instead of the branches appearing opposite each other, it's ready to be flowered. Keep in mind that it could double in height after going to a 12/12 cycle. Good luck.Quote:

I don't remember, but if ya need an air conditioner id think you could get one now while winter is here cheaper, then waiting till summer when they mark them up:thumbsup:. Just an idea. Or, just run em at night.
My best grow was outside last year, but i wanted to let everyone sample what id grown and ended up giving way to much away and now im out. I haven't slept in two days:wtf:, now that was dumb:wtf:. As far as the indoor, i don't have a timer cuz im broke, so not sure when this grow will get flowered. Heck it might go outside if i cant do something soon. Plus i have the wrong cfl's as i need soft white bulbs to flower, but not sure that will happen. I was so pumped after the summer grow, i jumped into this before i was ready with the supplies needed, but missed the hobby. Heck, 99% of it is the growing part of it. Yeah i like the bud but promised myself id never buy it again after the summer grow, but watching it grow was amazing to me:thumbsup:. So i got ahead of myself, but live an learn i guess.
http://boards.cannabis.com/outdoor-g...cant-grow.html This was my first real go at it:thumbsup: This with the reading and the help i got taught me so much, im much more comfortable with this summers grow:hippy:
Keep up the pics my man, they look great :weedpoke:
Well maybe not 99, but close, lol
:rasta:
Nice work, Senorx. I have some experience with Nirvana WR from seed in soil under HPS and found the strain does have a tendency for some of the fan leaves to yellow and die off. Got me a little worried too when I first started working with this strain. Of course, maybe I too was doing something wrong, heheh. Some of your wr plants are branchier than what I've seen with mine though- otherwise very similar to the wr I've seen.
looking mighty tasty:thumbsup:. i was wondering about your light setup. i noticed that you have your cool tubes all looped together and was wondering if that cooled the fixtures enough. it seems that after the air running through 2 or 3 lights anything after the first fixture would be getting progressively hotter air flow. i may be wrong but it was just a thought.:stoned:
Good question and one that is on my mind too. I'm about to buy two cool tubes and was thinking about running in series. What issues would the second light have? Yours is more then just 2. Do you have any issues with the heat on later lights in the series?Quote:

For now, its ok, because the daytime high where I live is about 30 degrees on avg. this time of year, and my cooling air comes from outside. Summer, however, will be a different story. I have my photoperiod from 10 pm to 10 am already so as to avoid a problem come summer, but I have a suspicion that it may not be enough. I'm already looking into a/c for the summer. The reflectors I'm using are not airtight, so if you put your hands around the fixture where the lens meets the body of the reflector at the first light you can really feel the air exiting long before it reaches the next lamp, notwithstanding the natural heating the air would undergo anyway by passing through multiple lights. I imagine they are all the same to some extent. I'm not sure anyone would be willing to pay what it would cost to make them all airtight to maximize airflow at the end, given that the air is going to be heated anyway by the subsequent lights, so the improvement will be at the margins. This is my first grow, so any heat issues will come up in about 3-4 months. I have been worried about it since I started though. I also have a 750cfm exhaust fan on a thermostat set at 78 degrees, and it hasn't come on yet. Again, winter of course. The good thing is that all that air leaking out of my lights is just more fresh air for the babies!Quote:

As I said above, my photoperiod is overnight, and I hope that's sufficient, but I am skeptical. My cooling air comes directly from outside, which may change come summer depending on whether the air from my basement is cooler at 10pm than that from outside. It's all adjustment on the run, isn't it?Quote:

Wow 100 degrees would be to much for me to handle, heck 80-90 is a bit too much. But i cant stand the air, so i just stay in front of a fan till the temps drop. Ya know there is a link in a guys sig. that deals with growing in extreme heat. Off the top of my head i cant remember, but i have an idea. Il find the link and get it to ya, he deals with the same types of issues:thumbsup:
:rasta:
Yea, I lived in Toledo in about 1968. I was in elementary school, but a lot of people still live in the same place they did 40 years ago. I wouldn't trade Colorado for Ohio though. Not a chance.
Oh i don't blame ya for that! BTW i found that link in RT'S sig dealing with the heat. I read it before and it might give you some good info, because he is one of the pro's for sure. RustyTrecholmes<sp:wtf:, but i think ya know who i mean. Hope it helps and thanks for the rep., they wouldn't let me return it cuz it said i had to spread it around more before giving again to ya:wtf:Quote:

also forgot to mention that when you put the one or two stes of nodes underneath the mix you should cut the growth off before you plant them also cut the leaf fingers in half as this slows transpiration and keep them in a clear humidity tent this way you should not have to water that often
also i have had better results taking clones after the first signs of flowers have started to show it takes a week or so to revert to veg agin but this way they tend to root more or less instantly especially when using rhizotonic
hope this helped man rate my reply if you could as im new here wnd would like to know if my aim of actually helping people is working thanks

My wife said something interesting last night when we made our nightly pilgrimage to the flowering room. She said something like "I think they like you better. I can tell they are girls, see how they try to look pretty for you so they get more attention?" She was not talking female in a biological sense, but a more anthropomorphic one, and she almost sounded jealous. It was a little weird. I just throw it out there without further comment. Enjoy the pics.:thumbsup:
looking very nice senor

Wow Senor that looks amazing my friend. Do they all look like that? Looks like your set up and knowledge has paid off. BTW how are the clones coming along? Cant wait to see what ya get out of your grow.
Excellent grow:thumbsup:
