I would like to add though, that when I went to transplant them last night in their own pots, The roots were not nearly as large as I thought they would be. Only 3 out of the 5 plants, the roots were very slightly tangled. The roots were about 3-4 inches long. I don't know if that makes a difference then, But now Like I said they are in their own pots.
Thats great, but my next question is, what kind of soil are you using and have you been giving any fertilizers at all? Make sure they get the light they need and read the links iv put here. Plus you really need to read more. There isn't a grower here thats ''good'', that doesnt read all the time, so being new, you got to read as much as you can. Read some grow logs, they have helped me and there are pic's which can give you plenty of incentive to learn! Cuz your going to say to yourself, ''i want what he/she's got:thumbsup: Start here and find a solution to help with root growth, then copy and paste other link. I have got ya started, now do some reading and if ya got questions, just let me know, im glad to help, but ya need to help yourself too, by reading. This nute chart was posted by BobBong in the Grow FAQ'S, its a great place to start reading. Good luck:rasta:Quote:

Hey gang.. i've noticed a lot of us seem to be incorrectly identifying plant problems.. so I thought i'd do some digging and came up with this..hopefully it clears up any misunderstandings some people might have about picking out a nute deficiency.
NITROGEN (N)
Pale plants, red stems, smaller growth. Rapid yellowing of lower leaves progressing up the plant. Add any chemical fertilizer containing N. Treated plants recover in about a week.
PHOSPHORUS (P)
Slow or stunted growth, red stems. Smaller leaves that are dark green. Lower leaves yellow and die. Add chemical fertilizer containing P. Affected leaves will not show recovery but new growth will apear normal.
POTASSIUM (K)
Affected plants are usually tallest and appear to be most vigorous. Necrotic spots form on lower leaves. Red stems. Leaves appear pale or yellow. Add chemical fertilizer containing K.
CALCIUM (Ca)
Lack of calcium in the soil results in the soil becoming too acid. This leads to Mg or Fe deficiency or very slow stunted growth. Treat by foliar feeding with one teaspoon of dolomatic lime per quart of water until condition improves.
SULFER (S)
Plants suffering from S definciencies exhibit yellowing of new growth. Mix one tablespoon of Epsom salts per gallon of water until condition improves.
MAGNESIUM (Mg)
Lower leaves yellow and may even turn white while veins remain dark green. Blades die and curl upward.
IRON (Fe)
Leaves on growing shoots turn pale and veins remain dark green. pH imbalances make iron insoluble. Foliar feed with chemical fertilizer containing Fe or rusty water.
MANGANESE (Mn)
Necrotic and yellow spots form on top leaves. Mn deficiency occurs when large amounts of Mg are present in the soil. Foliar feed with any chemical fertilizer containing Mn.
BORON (B)
Growing shoots turn grey or die. Growing shoots appear burnt. Treat with one teaspoon of Boric acid (sold as eyewash) per gallon of water.
MOLYBDENUM (Mb)
Yellowing of middle leaves. Foliar feed with chemical fertilizer containing Mb.
ZINC (Zn)
White areas form at leaf tips and between veins. Occurs in alkaline soils. Zn deficiency can be treated by burying galvanized nails in the soil. Chemical fertilizer containing Zn can also be used.
OVER FERTILIZATION
Causes leaf tips to appear yellow or burnt. To correct soil should be flushed with three gallons of water per one gallon of soil.

Hey Shake thanks for the info on the N thought. I know they use more P,K then N in flower, but they are so slow growing, i thought one shot might speed them up a bit. I think its just that im not used to the indoor growth and was thinking a boost might help. The only reason i haven't given any nutes was because they are very green and look healthy. I have one i wish id re potted, but didn't want to while they were budding. Also, if anything, il get a ok cola and some small buds from it. Its in the clay looking pot in pic's.Quote:

But after summer i just couldn't wait to start again, lol live an learn i guess. BTW i sent that mail and will be anxiously waiting to give my babies the love my man:hippy:
:rasta:
The slow growth is from light inefficiency, CFL 's do not penetrate like HID lights. Be patient they are doing pretty good, you will be able to harvest the top and then give the lower buds 7-10 days longer.
I know it really sux when you have nothing to smoke, makes it seem like they are not growing at all:)
Hey Hemp i was just thinking of sending you an email, just to see whats up? I have a few crappy pics to put up, but they seem like they are coming along. I like the Edna's the best, they are the ones in the better/matching pots. The Edna's are about 7-10 days behind the others, but the bigger one has a nice cola on it. The others have lots of buds, but small yet and yeah the cfl's do take longer. But im thinking not to much longer:thumbsup:Quote:

3rd pic is my best Edna IMO, which is smaller then the other, which is in far right plant in 1st an 2nd pic's. But the colas on the Edna's will look great with more growth im hoping. Also, il be able to get some good nutes in there as i believe the pre loaded nutes in the soil are used up, only thanks to my man Shake!
Last one is a nice bud from Haze #5, if its not the cross, or a Skunk #1. Mixed batch of seeds:thumbsup:. As a guess im thinking Haze #5, only because the Skunk iv seen 25 years ago would stink up the city. lol, and looked different. I might try a small sample for shits and giggles soon.
Sorry for the bad pic's peoples, soon they will be better:rasta:
Nice grow so far LSY, I'm enjoyin your grow as we both are doin it CFL style. I'm a newbie at this to as I'm 3.5 weeks into flowering. out of my 12 original plants I got 5 females, 2 hermies and the rest male which I killed all of except for one that looks like it has really good genes and nice even growth so I kept it in a seperate area until I figure out what I'm gonna do(maybe pollinate a flower or 2). not bad for decent bagseed. Your plants are much bigger then mine tho as I kept them in dixie cups since day one.
Can't wait to see how yours turn out. keep it up man and goodluck.:thumbsup:
Good job bro the grow is looking nice keep up the good work
Thanks guys:thumbsup: I got sick and needed to take a few buds for something they just dont make a pill for and even had to go to the ER:( . Thing is i really couldn't believe how nice it was. It doesnt lock ya down and got about 6 hours of sleep in 3 days. Im thinking about chopping one plant to keep that affect and let the others go till there more close to 50/50. It was the Haze#5 i believe, because iv smoke Skunk and the smell i luv. Its very sweet and the buds are tight IMO. People talk about cfl's producing airy buds and im sorry cuz im just not seeing it. Its just like my outdoor, but not as big. I will try the Edna tonight and will let you guys know about that, but i had tried a sample and was like two toke and i was fine, so will see.
I never thought a person with the set up like mine could get such premo buds. If i were a person that sold the stuff, WHICH IM NOT, i would get $100.00 A 1/4 and thats what people get for this type of smoke around here. I broke down and payed 25 for an 1/8th a week or so ago and wasn't bad and even got a few seeds il try out, but does not touch what i grew, im really freaking:giggity::giggity::giggity:
Thanks for all the help everyone. I would have never made it through an indoor with out the help. One thing il pat my own back for was not using any nutes at all. The soil was pre loaded with them and have seen burnt plants after people thought their nutes were used up, but IMO for a newbie i would recommend they use this soil to get a grow out, without having to mess with any nutes. But i guess i could have gotten lucky? But they are green and still popping out new buds everyday. I have alway thought id be an outdoor grower, but after this experience i might have changed my mind. If i can change the accessibility problem, i know id start to be an indoor man for sure:cool:, not that i wouldn't maybe put out maybe 2-3 monsters. Wow, im not speechless often but..................

Congrats man, glad ya got what you wanted.
