So i use a chair, dosnt mean i cant grow!

no sweat LSY. i'm not trippin.

if you were using too much nutes you would have nute burn. i believe that the red/purple stems have to do with a deficiency. i'm not positive on this though.

what you are doing sounds fine. depending on your soil composition it could be leaching the nutes away from your plants.

just keep on doing what you are doing.

Sounds like you have a good plan going and things look healthy. Purpling stems can be genetic or lack of Phosporus. Just flush real good for two weeks at the end.

Shewwww! Thanks Shake, because after i wrote what i did, i sorta felt like i was telling you what i should be doing. But, thats not what the messege was for and only didnt want a great person who is helping me to think, i was thinking i knew it all:wtf: Thanks for getting what i wrote and understanding it:thumbsup::rasta:

With some of your plants being directly in the ground, it may be difficult to gauge ph on those. (cant really do runoff test) Do a little lookin, and we will be here to help you figure it out.

I have only harvested one outdoor plant in my life and the quality was menial at best. I would look through some of their threads and see how they control ph. I'm sure the key is going to be the soil mix you use for the season, I'm just not sure of a good recipe on it.

Keep pluggin away brother, one day you are going to look back at this one and giggle:thumbsup:

Hey Irydum, thanks man for getting me. I know that there's a def. problem and never bought the Afghan. thing. Because after stopping the ferts,i was told were to strong and that my bud would taste bad. Which iv learned to stop feeding when trich's start getting cloudy and a good plain water only wash is the practice, my buds will be fine:)

I have been looking for a thread to learn how these guys check there PH in the ground. Also, i dont have the needed supplies to even check it as of now anyway. But at some point i will and am looking to gain the knowledge to do so. Hell i germed, put em in cups and had a friend stick them straight in the ground. Next time il get holes dug, pre planting and get some good stuff in there before a plant goes in. Iv learned a person can send there soil to the Dept. of Agriculture and they will send you a print out of your soil and its PH level. This is the plan for next year.

But, im going to give er hell to build a grow box. Small scale to keep learning through winter. This will also help plan the outdoor grow next year. Also, it will give me time to afford the tools needed to stay with the advise im given. My budget is low but there is no reason i cant get a little at a time. And i might have a few friends donate a few bucks after they have seen what iv done this year. The first thing im going to chase after the box is up and running is a strain to work with. The bag seed was fine for this grow but i need to take steps up the ladder as i go, or in my mind im treading water.

Also, thank you for getting what i wrote earlier, cuz i guess i felt a bit uncomforable after i had wrote it. And with out the help iv gotten i wouldn't even be here, so thanks again:thumbsup::rasta:

Hey Hemp thanks for comin by. I need all the advise i can get and it just feels good for me to see that people read what iv done, thanks again:thumbsup::rasta:

Here is a few updated pics that are lookin good to me at least.:thumbsup::rasta:

1st, 3rd, and last is potted plant. It seems to grow so slow, but is developing:thumbsup:

hey LSY, they look good but i think that you could be pushing the nutes a bit harder. that's just me though. if you're not comfortable then don't try it.

Hey shake how are ya? Was just reading and saw this. Funny cuz i have cut back on the nutes, ferts, for past couple weeks. But above, my dad gave me a bunch of homemade soil he has made for years. He bought 6 dump trucks full. He built his garden up 3' up off the ground. Its called "muck", blackest dirt you will ever see. Come from very larger farms around that area. It started "washed" soil tho, cuz it was taken from cleaning irragation ditchs. He's done alot with it since. His garden is nice. But my plant growing in the pot is growing somewhat differnt from others, slow? This plants about 12'', that get only about 2-3 hours of light is getin better looking every day. Every leaf stem is purple. A few yellow leaves in all, but im feeling good so far.

Il start raising both. Just gave it ferts, then it poured:wtf:

Thanks for the help shake,:weedpoke:Keeper greenThanks for comin by, peace:rasta:

Ok i noticed this the other day. Its the only one like it on the plant. Iv looked it over well. There was a male beside it but i moved it before it flowered. Looks like a ball. If this turns male, or hermy il freak. Its my bigest and best looking one i have. Im not even sure you will have to blow up the pic. Its so big. Also, over all look of the plant. Pistils every place.:thumbsup:

I guess i should have posted the pic's. Im not sure what happen here i think i was trying to rush. Here are the pics of what looks like a seed growing, but just couldnt be:wtf:
