Does this look healthy?

halogens are no good for growing and you'll need a shitload of those little flouro bulbs to make anything worthwhile...at least four of those for no more than a couple plants and even then i think you'd do better with the tube-type of flouro's...if you absolutely must go that route.

you also should be diluting that miracle grow solution down to 1/3 of what directions call for, half for established plants. never use full strength and only once every 10 days or so...and you do know the high "P" is for flowering...eh?

The lack of N may be because the PH is not correct.. If your ph is NOT 6.5-6.9.. your plants will not be able to absorb/EAT the nutrients...

yikes..

GO get a PH kit.. they are Cheap.

iloveyou

only two nodes are like that the rest have brown tips and spots and every week a leaf drops
where can you buy this PH thing and how much will it cost me, im currently broke

Total cost so far $0.00

ok last week or two weeks back my light fell on top of the plant and burned the right side of the top three nodes thats when the yellowing started does this help?
one leaf is hanging from stem is ok to snip it?

i've decided to do 12/12 light 6am to 6pm darkness 6pm to 6am

any tips? and ill be feeding her the 15-30-15 mg, how much should i use ?

I still think that would be too much N for a flowering plant M8 especially with all of the issues you have been having. This is what I would do....
Yes put it into 12/12. Flush the shit out of it first to get rid of any and all build up of salts etc from the ph/nute issues. go to your hydroponics store or anywhere you can buy "foxfarms tiger bloom" nutes. They will know what you want. the NPK of that is 2-8-4 with micro nutes and minerals in it. That is perfect and has worked wonders for my grows. After you flush your plant, put 1/2 of teh recommended amount in with a gallon of water, add 1/4 teaspoon of superthrive ( you can get it at wal mart Home depot or any gardening shops). Before you water your plant with it, get a ph water tester kit including the ph up and ph down solution form your hydropinic stores (they are everywhere) and run a drop test with your water. Since you have flushed your medium until the water coming out the bottom is clear, you should not have any more issues as long as you follow the steps above. Always know the ph of your water and nuted water before applying. That is what really matters. After the first feeding, go up in strength gradually to the recommended amount. I use 1.25-1.5 tsps of tiger bloom per gallon of water... I hope this makes sense.... good luck

and NOW you KNOWM

right now im dead broke and wont ae getting money anytime soon :(

the only nutes i currently have are 12-5-8 and 15-30-15
the 12 mixes in with the soil, and the 15 mixes with water
when you flush can you use hose/sink water?
and should i be able to tell my plants sex by now? thankyou elway an known

I agree with knowm... That is exactly what I use and was talking about. If you absolutely cannot come up with any funds for getting what was mentioned above, then go with what can be mixed in water only. Screw that other crap. when you flush use tap water if you have to but if you do not have the ph kit knowm and I were talking about you are still going to see some problems arise without knowing the ph you use to flush or the ph with your nutes. As I said if you cannot get ahold of those things whatsoever, flush it with room temp tap water, follow directions for feeding on the bottle that is diluted in water and feed her with that. do not use too much as youwill fry your plant. Water only when soil is getting close to very dry. I have 5 gallon buckets but water every 5 days. When I water them though, I give them about 3 gallons of water each to flush out some old buildup and allow for better nourishment. just my two pennies worth. Good luck

ok i just finished flushing untill all the yellow water ran clear

all new leaves are drooping and i have her under the light

i will be starting 12/12 on monday and i dont know about the nutes
anyways wish me luck :) thankyou guys
i will be taking pics after first week of flowering

today was the first day of 12/12
would the light of a tv effect the lighting schedual ?
after first week will be seeing buds?

Dont let them get any light, no tv, no light bulbs, nothing more than a pale moonlight for a few moments a day.

thanks for the info bro
how much in height will my girl grow in this lighting?
How much longer must i wait ?

8 or 9 weeks counting drying it if you pick early, maybe 10 or 11 weeks if you wait til totally ripe.

pictures? : )

i will take pics next monday

Today is the second day of 12/12I will try to get some new pictures up tonight
I will also start feeding her 15-30-15 mg as soon as I find it

So 11 more weeks max huh I hope the wait is worth it, durring this stage how much will she grow in height?
and you guys have any tips i could use?
ThankYou :)

here are some new pics needless to say i think a good flushing is what it needed. the top leafs that grew after the flush are big as fuck and all around more healthy. its starting to smell a littlle *Mmmmm* gonna give it some nutes soon im sure it needs some after a flush.

should should climb that plant and see if the giant is sleeping.. and if he is.. you should still the goose that lays golden eggs... have an axe ready when you climb down..

Yeah very funny, the reason why she is so streched is becuase i didnt get lights till a couple weeks ago :(
once the pre flowers get fat does that mean their going to bloom?

Today is day four of 12/12 and i see no major changes, just more pistils and leaf growth, and she reeks of skunk
I fed her 15-30-15 today ill take new pics of her at the end of the second week of flowering October 10,2006 im hoping to see bud devolpment

dude you wont really notice any real pistil growth till around week 2, my diesel dont start to show till around week2-3 but when she does holy hell, esp if you growwin hydro

you can go look at a hydro plant in bloom one day then the day after its a waaaaaaaaaaaay bigger bud ther...lol

Kerplunk... Iloveyou!!!

this is one of my favorite threads.. keep the pictures coming!!

: )

Garden Knowm im going to make you suffer and not take pictures till the end of the second week, or maybe longer
shes about 2 feet now no major changes just more leaves and pistils

I promise you guys my second grow will be onehundred times better than this one
I cant wait untill im done with this one

ps. gk try growing with just one 6O watt cfl, wont be easy will it

oh bro... c'mon....

keep the pics coming..

: )

its been seven days since i started twelve/twelve and shes just gotten couple inches taller no major changes :(
Well got $22.OO and i will be going to home depot tomorrow hopefully I will find some CFL's and maybe some nutes for under 2O bucks
I wish i could just fast foward though to the harvest
I'll get those pictures up Friday or saturday maybe sooner, I'ii try to get three CFL's on her by this week

ok when leaves yellow and fall off is that under or over feeding?

well didnt go to home depot today, but gave her nutrient rich rain water,
everday a new node apears and four internodes from those i have no idea what strain she is
i think i will take pictures tomorrow afternoon before the lights go out

today is day 9 and she has grown a inch over night
the top half of my plant is healthy and the bottom looks shity two yellow leaves' i wish i could just cut the top half off and start from there but that would probally kill her
i would take pictures but she looks crapy right now
only two/thirds of the plant has foliage but everytime one leaf falls off two more grow
I had to move my light up becuase the leaves' started to touch it and burn
I need to go buy more lights to put on the sides of her

ok just bought two GE soft white CFL's one 100 watt with 1700 Lumens, and one 75 watt with 1200 lumens will be testing them out tomorrow
i will post picks of the bulbs

pics!

Usually this happens to lower foliage because it is not getting enought light.. If a plant gets over fed, the leaves will turn BROWN and fall off..

cheers

Haha I'm laughing to myself right now cause your setup is so ghetto looking; however, whatever works!
