Lost this post for a while, but nice to see everything is progressing pretty good. Nice job with the transplants, but your FIM technique needs a bit of work, lol.
Giving more water and adequate nutes, as the plants needs increase? Cannabis prefers to dry between waterings, but they still need moisture to the lower root zones. :thumbsup:
ur plants look sweet dude:thumbsup:
lol :D Agreed homie. Some more updated pics coming soon.Quote:

A quick picture update :) You might be able to see some nice hairs I can here, not sure if it is as visible on the camera though :(
Thanks to opie I am using manual flash now :) woohoo..

The plants have been in 12/12 since Sunday! I'll try and post some pictures soon,

try some 3% hydrogen peroxide in your water. it does fucking amazing with my plant, i can't
even believe how much it's helped.
i just use like half a ml for every 50mL or so, then i just agitate the water to help with the
decomposition of the chemical and then when you water with it it gives off free oxygen molecules
and your roots will drink it up.
but if you try this keep in mind that you will kill off some if not most of your soil ecology.
lookin good denial!!! we should be harvesting around the same time too!!!...heh

Yo guys. Things are going not too bad. I have had some strange problems with the leaves going a yellow colour at the tip's and dying from the bottom up. in some cases at the bottom of the plant as well as the top.
I think I have it pinned down to mostly over ferting and underwatering, but I could be wrong. Please guys, your opinions are needed as I have recently started a large contract at work, so it makes it difficult to pop by to say hi :(
I attatch some pictures for your viewing pleasure. We've been in the flowering stage for 1 week.
Please don't say get a PH meter, I'm on it already. However I'm not convinced that some hard tap water is the cause of this yellowing.
I've also added a fan. Checkout the pics and please, wish me some goodluck :-) Still a long way to go guys... expect some major updates soon,
Peace,
Denial
On second thoughts I am thinking this problem might not be overfeeding, and rather BAD PH + Nitrogen Lockout, the water in my area is quite hard. This is likely the result? PH tester on way.
Some more pictures
Peace,

It could be nute burn, but I'm thinking not. Be sure to post in the problem section and search for the problem charts.
And your tap water could be screwing things up, believe it or not. Mine is PH 7.6, which would of course kill my plants if I didn't lower it. Do you neutralize the chlorine, or is it well water?
Heya D,
It would be a very good idea to get an accurate reading on the pH of your water, and definitely the soil runoff. Knowing where your pH stands can be very helpful when trying to rule things out, especially if it's causing the problem! It may be nutrient burn, especially if you're pretty certain you've been overfeeding. Scorched spots on otherwise healthy leaves and curled leaf tips are pretty indicative of this. Find out your pH, and definitely follow Opie's advice and start a new thread in the Problems area. Remember to fill out the troubleshooting chart at the top of the section, so our resident green-thumbs can put all the pieces together.
Oh, and the plant I'm FIM'd threw up four new shoots just like I was expecting, and I totally forgot to take any follow-up pictures of it before I murdered it. It turned out to be a male, again just like I was expecting... :mad:
Sorry about that, bro. But you'll get it next time, it sounded like you were just a little off the first time around. Take care, and I'll be subscribing to this thread so I'll know in the future when there's any news. Still pullin' for ya! :jointsmile:
i got kinda the same thing going on with one of my plants....testing Ph tomorrow...hope thats it...no other plants have it...if i find something out tomorrow, will let ya know
WT
hey guys my girlfriend has lent me this PH tester and it says my soil is mildly alkaline. :| not much use really is it.. I will try mixing in some vinegar with my next water feed. Any ideas anyone?
I flushed them out with lots of water and they have grown lots, and it looks like the yellowing has settled down a bit, It's possibly they were a lot more alkaline before as I stopped using nutes a few days ago,
Peace,
Denial
PS: more pictures soon.
It's tap water dude, thanks for the advice :)Quote:

Tap water can be either from the city or from a well. If it's well water there probably isn't much or any chlorine to worry about. If it's city water there is no doubt chlorine in it, which could very easily be causing problems. Chlorine must be neutralized, either by letting it sit out a couple days, or with drops from the grow store. If you spread out the surface area the chlorine will evaporate faster.
OK guys i'm using 4ml to 1 litre of biobizz biobloom instead of upto 10ml and am giving the plants plenty of water. This has really helped.
Pictures attatched. Found a second male (hermy), see picture it is very clear. 3 Females left it seems.
damnit, attatch is broken, I will have to add in a minute when its working again.
Peace,
denial
looks like we are right on schedule together...lol, we are on day.....18 of flowering...wheres the pics man!!
:smokebong:

Here are the pics! Upload working now
weird!!!! you put them up as i was typing last message
WT
2 more pics
hah, that is weird dude, because i just got this thought that i had to post pics... lol...Quote:

Get ready to watch dem bitches reach for the ceiling over the next month. Keep a close eye on those top colas, they'll be inching closer and closer to the light right under your nose. I'd hate to see your ladies get burned.
Take care. :jointsmile:
thanks dude, yeah I have noticed this! :DQuote:

If they're becoming unusually thirsty, you may want to check that the plants aren't getting too rootbound. That can really mess with their ability to pack on dense flowers. Also, between my bloom feedings (hell, sometimes during) I like to give them a blast of molasses in the water. They really seem to enjoy having the extra sugars right about now.Quote:

That's a good point,I don't think they are unusually rootbound. I think 500ml is reasonable a day per plant at this point, that's what they get roughly and they seem quite happy :)Quote:

Also, sorry I hadn't updated for a week or so, work has been rather busy! :-)
More pictures coming soon, 3 female out of 5 aint bad, so lets hope :)
Peace,

This isn't an exact science. That stuff sticks to everything, making accurate measurements damn near impossible. One glop (roughly one tablespoon) per gallon is a pretty good estimate to start with, and you can up the dosage as long as plants seem to tolerate it well. It's hard to overfeed with it, but adding too much could probably suffocate roots and may affect your pH. As with everything, use in moderation. ;)Quote:

I used to have a ton of that stuff. That's those big almost amber grains of sugar, right? If that's it, I always used to add it to my coffee and herbal teas... and DAMN is it sweet! Nice idea.Quote:

Hey homies, I have a nice update for my plants, I think they are coming along wikid, check them out :-)
Peace,
Denial
Some more pics,
Peace,
Denial
just so you guys know, i decided to ditch the current pH tester i got, it's crap and not accurate, the wife has ordered me a better one :thumbsup:
I'm really getting into this now.. at least when I find the time:( It's been a bit of a sturggle recently but I'm still loving this shit homes! :D
:jointsmile:
Thanks to you all for help and reading my log so far :)
Peace,
Denial
:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
Man, those pistils look like big fat spaghetti noodles! The plants are looking very happy now. Kudos to you, my friend!
heh, yeah i agree they are looking much better now, thanks :D I have learnt a very keen and simple rule in growing, everything in moderation :-)Quote:

I'm using biobizz biobloom 2ml to 1litre water to nute ratio,Quote:

oh, also glad to hear you approve of the plants, I'm relieved to see them looking a bit more happier ;-)
Peace,

Yum.
and I have found stripping down network cable to make great string...
hehehe :D
:dance:
Peace,

Hey good idea. I use wire too, you just have to be careful not to wind it tight around a branch or stalk. Make a loose loop or the wire will cut off the flow of nutrients as the plant grows bigger.
