First grow :) Have a look...

Great solution to the problem with NFT: for nutrient to flow over the roots, you've got to have more roots down where the nutrient solution flows!!! A temporary flood/drain conversion was GREAT problem solving.

Your calmag hunch was correct but that looked more like a calcium deficiency.

Green light... wierd, I assumed it was your 'stealth night work light'... plants can't see green, so you can go bother them while they are sleeping by using green light. I hope it's your camera, because the only HID that puts out really green light is mercury vapor, and that is not useful for growing.

interesting...........

Hey Everyone,
Here is an update on the plants :) It has been exactly one week since I put them into flower and I ended up getting........ 7 little ladies :) I'm happy; I guess it really is a 50/50 chance to get a male or female. I think they are filling in nicely, some are looking better than others, but a lot of bud sites. Hey stinkyattic, yea I think you are right that it was green because of my camera, those pics were taken under MH. The color change to HPS was interesting, it was as if there was a mini orange sun in my closet :stoned: And thank you to everyone who has posted... I'm really trying to have a successful first grow, but it is a lot of work and a lot of mistakes to learn from. As for the pictures :D The first one is what the plants looked like four days after I put them into flower and showed signs of sex. The second is after I got rid of the males and the third is them today (day 49). Fourth is the tiny pistils and fifth is some bud sites. Plus some random pics and some troubled leaves...
I'll post more soon :hippy:

OoO and I chopped up all the males in a blender and put them into some boiling water and butter for about 45 minutes and bake some cookies with the butter and got really fucked upâ?¦ I hope the ladies are just as good!!!

The other pics...

Hello Everyone,
My weekly update ;) The plants look good except a few minor problems that I can't seem to fix. They haven't died yet because of the problems so I'm just going to run with it. They are in their second week of flowering and are 56 days old as of yesterday. I wish I had my good digital camera to get some close ups but you all will have to get by with my camera phone for now. I think a lot of my problems stem from a bad root system in a couple of the plants, but they seem to be growing some bigger roots now that I made sure no light makes it into the grow trays. Some of the symptoms are wilting new leaves at the bottom of the plant and a couple of old fan leaves turning yellow. The top bud sites look excellent and show no signs of any problem. Anything will be helpful :stoned:

Nice! Those ladies branched out, and are filling the space with Buds.

Very pleasing results so far!!! We know it isn't easy, but stick in there and you'll be over the moon with ur pukka harvest
