u alryt boss ere i took a pik i switchd it 2 ph mode.. And it came up alkalie on both plants.. And did i do the lst ryt?:rasta:
Looking better than acidic ! im still not too knowledagable on ph's so probably best not to listen to me but ye i'd say your lst is looking good ! also your plants in general look really healthy, all nice green with no nute burn or anything !! good job. when you thinking of flowering ?
hi mate.. Thnx 4 help..yea i switchd it 2 .12/12 6 days ago nt realy noticd buds forming.. Ow long til u noticd it growin..
i read that they lik ph of about 6.5 and thats very slightly acidic, but if its between 6 and 8 im sure it wouldnt matter too much lol
i never seen an lst like dat, but looks alright mate defo guna be gettin sum more lyt on dose lower branches init..
i wouldnt worry to much its not gunna show anything straight away u might notice growth in the next few days, depends on the flowering time of the strain
so hopefully looking forward to seeing sum porn soon mr geee.....
nice grow fella
and you to char:thumbsup::thumbsup::jointsmile:
hi mate,sorry 4 the late reply,i'd like to go outdoor but my garden needs LOTS of work(concreting,bricklaying) b4 my g/house can get going.if i do it will be a late 1! 1/2oz?you need to get HPS char,i just got 4oz(dry)off of 1 plant(bagseed)with a 400w!! at least you LST'd 4 max yield,nice!
forgot to say,nice strain too,you cant beat a nice bit of kush!!!
trust me man i would love to have an hps but i just dont have a place to vent air and heat. If i did i would have so many piff strains! Did you grow in a cupboard or did you have a tent ?

They make 175 watt versions too that create even less heat. Ive done grows with t5's and honestly the improvement in growth when i switched to HID lighting was tremendous.
busy wtz it lYK 4 ELEKTRik wif the hps? Hi charbud ows ur plants doin gt ne updates? Who u vote 4 in the elektions?
this makes me wana get one ! but in my loft i have height issues also so its not just heat ! Im moving soon though so hopefully buy a house with a roof garden or a nice room for my growing :jointsmile: cheers for advice anyway though mate, poss rep :thumbsup:Quote:

put them in a milk bottle to hide them and keep them warm. Will also keep some bugs out with they netting on the top of the bottle.
Not expecting too much of the outdoor ones but would be nice if they gave me a little something !
:rastasmoke:
Whats up with the VK's Char? Ive got 4 in week 5 of flower and looking for some reference.
lol u joka. Talk about stealthyness.. Im gna do an outdoor grow 2.. Ov a cutin. Ow ur otha babys doin?.
Lookin good there Char! tr1ple, you can reference my grow as well if you like - my VK are just at the end of their 3rd week of flowering. I did an early LST on them but removed the tie-downs after about 6 weeks of veg. They went 7 weeks in veg before going into flower... I've found that holding them down for most the veg cycle is enough to promote about 3-4 large tops as well as lower bud sites as long as I can keep the light low enough...that is without doing a SCROG...I think it would be a lot harder to water them with a screen in the way...? lol...Quote:

Looking real nice charbud keep up the good work im loving the milk carton idea im going to have to try it out.
Happy growing
:jointsmile:hi char,sorry late again,i grow in my shed(sectioned off the last 750mm)its not ideal,but gets the job done:thumbsup:Quote:

go buy some powdered spirulina and mix it in with the water you feed her, should perk her back up
Ya, thanks Dayzt1. I would like to see a link to yours. I'll get a couple pics to share here too. 3 weeks left I think. Bud everywhere and finally starting to fatten up. I'm relatively noob and especially to hydro. Just a word to the wiseQuote:

Hey Char im not sure but ya think it could be root bound? Your pots look huge in the pic's. Are you in flower yet, i went back and read your thread but must have missed it. But ya know how the leaves get yellow after the plants pretty much used what they need out of em and they die off. Could this be, or too much N will make em yellow too. I know that adding N to close to flower will make your buds taste really bad, my outdoor did, cuz i was just giving so much nutes at the end. Then, 2 of them either blew over or a rabbit got stoned, so i harvest with out stopping nutes and give plain water for a couple weeks as planned. So it locked ya in the couch, but tasted like drinking hard core cheap nutes. Yeah, like the better nutes taste better, lol:wtf:Quote:

Hope you get her green bro
See Ya:rasta:
i dont think shes root bound, i got one huge mother of a pot. i know the leaves go yellow towards harvest time but im about 3 - 4 weeks in !. Id end up with an eighth is she went all yellow now ! Well slow bud growth could be due to my temps, found this out in a book i have. The yellowing could also be phosphurus, so im going to let the nitrogen sink in first, see if that works, then plain water, then phosurus. Do you reckon leaves go yellow if they dont get enough light ? Most of the yellowing ones are near the bottom or dont recieve as much as the ones on the canopy ?
Cheers for checkin in LSY :)
Awesome triple - can't wait to see some pics of your VK! I just posted new pics this evening in my journal too. (i've attached a sample here too) :jointsmile: Check them out here:Quote:

I really think you should check your PH of your water and also check the ph of your soil--for your best growth you should try to maintain a ph of about 6.5 in soil. If your ph is out of wack, then your little girl won't be able to properly absorb the nutrients you are feeding her. Also forgive me if I missed it, but how often have you flushed her to remove any fert build up in your medium. From what I have read, both of those could be causing your problem. I hope this helps :thumbsup:
Lookin nice Dayzt, cant say i can see loads of similarities but we use different lights so understandable. What yours smelling like ? how much longer till you harvest ?Quote:

Atm im using orchid bloom, which is for orchids but apparently it doesnt matter as its got the right stuff in it ! Well my last grow i had 5 plants and i got an oz, but they got root bound and i didnt LST them, Would be sick if i got an oz but more realistically half oz to 3/4 oz. Still an alright bit of almost free smoke :rastasmoke:Quote:

With the flushing theres two types, 1 being, just flush out the soil to get rid of nutrient build up which causes the dodgy ph's and 2 flush before harvest when you flush like number one aswell as not feeding your plants any nutirents two weeks before harvest. This stops them from tasting horrible when smoked and no hard ash ! sure you had some hard ash in your time from dodgy chron in the uk ! Leds in the post, coming tomorrow, guna see how well they work on the sides of my plant, hopefully get sum bigger buds :D:rastasmoke:Quote:

Stopped with the N, bought some LEDS, Got an extra cfl in there and going to get some big bud nutes soon, all my cash is goin :mad:Quote:

They were 35 quid, not expecting too much from them but if they just help develop buds a bit i suppose they were worth while ! will take sum pics of them set up if they do turn up. Well its better to do two weeks because you really dont want to be smoking any hardash ! Have u got canna ppk ? any good ? nice to heat from u to m8Quote:

Didn't get time to put it on my girl as i was too late, shes already in her dark period but will upload pics tomorrow morning. hope you all doin well :hippy:
:thumbsup:hi char,your friends may have to wait til next yr for a sequal,but as a sneak peak....my new g/house is twice the size:D will show some pics at w/end(toooo stoned now):jointsmile:Quote:

Im lookin forward to it mate ! Im too fuking lazy to send em back. Post offices do my nut in! Guna get a part refund hopefully :)
Not much smell from these girls - the carbon filter draws in most of the smell though, so it's all good.Quote:

You alright mate, mine also coming up to the half way mark, think they will take a bitter longer than barney said because of my ph and temp issues slowed her down a bit but shes back on track now and i can notice the buds growing every couple of days :)Quote:
