and if they don't start doing better in the next 2 weeks I might realy just start over.:(

Did you ever get a ph test kit? Adding the molassis affects the ph, and too much can cause nute lock-out. (it's way past time to get the darned water test)
Parts of the plant look good, but what's up with the foil and the dead yellow leaves? Also...are any of your tie-downs too tight around the stems?
I noticed what could be some nute burn on a couple of the leaves, (middle pix, left) Are you foliar feeding, on top of your regular nute schedule? Just curious why one set of leaves appears nute burned, but others look ok...
Also, how big is your flower cabinet?
I still need to get a ph test kit and I think I ma try to do it this weekend.
and no the tiedown Rn't too tight.
and I haven't foliar feed them eather.
and the growcab is 22-23 inchs long and 4 feet in hight not including the linght of the lights.
and 17-18 inches deep.
and the top of the soil feels dry BUT the middle and bottem of the soil feels wet. so what does this meen.
and I think I might start a nother plant in a 2ed and lill smaller grow box just in case the ones I have now don't make it. this way I'll have a back up plant to grow.
Cool. It's definatelly one of the garden tools that's worth having.Quote:

thanks much for the help. so I'll smoke one to that.
naw I ain't giving up on em yet.
so if I can tug on one of the bottem yellow fan leafs and it don't fall off.
then dose this mean that they do not needed to come off?
and 1 of my buddies says he has a thing that U stick in the soil and it can tell U the dampness of the soil or whatever.
should I say I want it.cuz he said he'd give it to me.
over and out.HC.:D
You've already had problems with bugs, I'd get rid of the yellow leaves.
Is it one of the clay watering indicators you mentioned?
If so, they aren't very accurate. A few years ago I tried some in our houseplants. Were kinda ok for houseplants, but a fan would dry it out making it look like the plants need water, when they really didn't. I'd still check with my fingers to make sure.
ok so I stuck my fingers in the soil to see how dry it was. I put em 2 inches deep in the soil and it felt dry. so I gave it 1 of the botteled waters.
so I should cut off all the yellow fan leafs at once or like ever few hours.
and I was gunna go to my garden center to see if they have some good soft soil that I get so I can start a 2ed plant this time and it'll bee just 1 plant in the pots.
Sounds fair, lol.Quote:

You still growing in those rubbermaid tubs? How's the temp, humidity, light leaks and air circulation? Just curious how it's working out. Too bad you couldn't hook a chain from the ceiling to the top half. Would sure make it easier to work with the plants.

yah the grow box is around 70-84 of temps. and I don't know what the humidity is. light leaks and air circulation R all great.
2 fans in the box.
and the soil I saw at the garden center was schultz.
It was 12.00$ and now on sell. for 3.00$.for a big bag.
so ima gunna get it tomarrow. and start one of my dank seeds I have saved.
I might start it indoors then take it outdoors around march or whenever it WORMS UP OUTDOORS.
cuz I had great luck growing 1 of my huge tomato plants I had last summer.
as seen in the pix.
so I thought I would try growing some marry jane a poppen.
:D:D:D:jointsmile:
well say good. and grow on grow on. :D :hippy: :thumbsup: :jointsmile:
new pix of better growth when I get back from the gym. and I now have 7 female plants growing ok and my room reaks like hell.
so they have grown back to some nice lil plants and thats all thanks to rustys great info.
:jointsmile: :D
Ok so here R som pix of them tonight.
and I had a question about outdoor growing.
So If I were to MYBE have to move them out to my back yeard for around 2 to 3 month under good sun.
Eather in a good homemade greenhouse or under direct sun.
So if I have to move them out to my back yeard then it would be around feb or march. texas sun + givenem TLC = bigger plant befor I flower them.
see! the reason I might have to move them out back for few months is becuz I I really need to finish some bedroom renovations.
so I was blazen a few hours ago and I was thinking they might do ok out there under the sun for just long enough to finish my room renovations.
As long as I give them good TLC they should do ok.
anyways not to the pix.
so how do they look now. and the outdoor Question is fo real.
thanks for tuning in my peeps.
o yah if the end up haveing to go out doors then they would planted in a10-15 hallon free planter with good rich soil
and they would keep beeing scroged like growing.
Looking much better. Thanks for the compliment, but you were the one doing the work. Good job.
You may want to check with folks that have outdoor grow experience. I have none. I do know that you have got to be careful with putting them outside too early in the season, but beyond that...I'm clueless.
Good luck, and keep us informed with your progress.:thumbsup:
THose are looking alot better Hydro. Keep up the good work.
Well, it's been almost a week,,,
So, what's happened? How do they look now?
your ladies are loving you HC!
and our texas sun should do em good. what part of texas are you in
well they R doing ok I guess. they have only gotten water and a little bit of blackstrap molassas.
they could be doing much better. but o well.
on the other hand my 2 hydro plants R doing nice.
Hey HC, where are the pics of the hydro plants? I think I missed them...
look in the grow log for the latest updates.
I already was a dick on another log so I won't restate everything. At least you're growing!!
My personal little bit of advice, go get yourself some good basic genetics, get some organic soil (either Roots Organics or Fox Farm), get some grow bags (the white ones with black insides), and get some rainbow mix fertilizer from planetnatural.com . This works for me, you can't mess it up and you learn a lot more from a good harvest than a bad one.
As for your LST, I'm not sure you're doing it correctly, the whole point is to have the first two branches be as big as what would normally be the main cola. they should grow out in a mercedes benz pattern if that makes sense and fill in from there. This will produce perfect low stress bushes. I start them with twist-ties or wire and bend the whole plant into a 90 degree angle.
Best of luck and experiences,

Linkin Park rocks dude! Saw them on SNL just last week.
Linkin Park is...ok....Now The Eagles... they are old skool kewl
