Lol Vision it's ok bro. They're fine trust me, I might not have much experience but I think from all my over-worrying and over-observations (lol) it's easy to tell when my plants are fine and when they are in trouble, they're fine. If it's the burns that bothers you, it was because the lights were too close plus I sprayed them too much with pesticide and people already explained to me what could happen when pesticide "dew" is on the leaves and lights are on so I'm guessing you can figure that one out lol. At that time I didn't consider how close the lights were. Even earlier when I observed them they looked too close to the lights again, I checked the leafs and they were starting to show some heat stress. I have to invest in something for the heat on my next grow.
And as far as the nutes they weren't affected too much by it. And even if it did have something to do with it I already flushed all the nutes out. The pH meter tells me the pH is fine and no, I have a soil meter, I stick it in the soil and let it sit for about 60 seconds and I sit there and watch it adjust to the pH and it's fine. And sometimes I accidentally put too much pressure on pots trying to get around in the room and it shows down the pot and they haven't even reached the ends of the pots yet, The roots are no where to be seen so they still have room to grow. So basically I believe my plants are fine, btw I switched them to 12/12 today so tomorrow morning they should notice a "change" lol. One plant started to have alternating nodes some time ago, the second favorite of mine is just now beginning to do that too. My least favorite is lagging behind...It'll have to go along with the other ones into flowering though because I only have one room :(. If the plants double in size then I think the time is now because I don't want them to be too big of bushes in that closet. I think my fav 2 are females. I don't I tried to look at them in microscope and saw some things that I thought were white hairs but I couldn't see a pod, then I believe I seen one stalked trichome around that area. I don't know if males produce those or not but I think I seen just one. I don't know, I'm just aching to know rather I have male or females so I'm just going berserk trying to figure out what they are so I'm trying to notice everything I think a female plant should be producing and running with it haha.
And thanks WynO :)
edit: Btw Vision I'm sorry but I just can't tamper with my plants. I am just shaky about that every time I think about it. All my transplants were disastrous but I'm just thankful my plants made it through them all. I will never lift my plants out of their pots unless I absolutely have to, like if they actually were root bound.
Transplanting is really really easy, just make sure you give it a good watering before you transplant, when the soils nice and moist it just pops out the pot like a dream!
Orangeman never noticed you had a grow dude. that post i had in my sig still cracks me up manlol best of luck and it does look a ph prob lol sorry but hell well done mate .gpood to see you still around.be safe the postman.
and you thought your centipede was big, I hate the F**kers. Check this one for big :
YouTube - Giant centipede eating mouse.
[EDIT]
BAH!! This ones even bigger!!! :
YouTube - Giant centipede eating mouse 2
The centipede in my room was a lot smaller than both of those but it was still big, but if I had those crawl out from behind the wall I'd never go in that room again lol.Quote:

I'm just a particular person and when they start vegging next time around I want to make a note of it so I know from the first day that it has started. I will have pics up later, would go take some now but even for the first day of 12/12 I don't want to go disturb them in the dark lol.

Wow, they look a LOT better than before. Good job reviving them. Can't wait to see them start flowering.
Looking much better OM!
I heard plants should be at least 6 weeks old before flowering, if grown from seed.
My plant doubled in size during flowering.
Basically if they arnt seedlings they in the vegetative state i think.
Peace :rastasmoke:
Yeah well that's obvious lol but I don't know what officially means they start vegetating. Meh doesn't matter I'll just make up one next time lol. And thanks! I'm glad they look better haha. Even though I don't know when they started vegging I know it's been at least 5 weeks so they're good enough. I'm just excited to see them flower :). Btw I don't know about the one all the way to the right of the room. It's sorta lacking behind while the other ones are doing well. I hope it does some good.Quote:

As soon as the first true set of leaves emerge, the plant is technically in the vegetative state, as it's absorbing light, etc...
The plant is no longer a seedling, once it's at it's 5th node. Then it's considered a vegetating plant, but even when it's a seedling, it's still vegetating, so as soon as its first set of true leaves emerge, it's in vegetative state, and as soon as it's at it's 5th node, it's not a seedling anymore.
Kind of like, how babies are still alive once they are born, but you aren't considered an adult until you are 18. Well, no, that makes no sense after typing it.
Hey orangeman nice grow. A plant is considered mature when its nodes start alternating (instead of having a pair of nodes as they do when the plants are young , the plant will starts alternating nodes when it reaches maturity) just for your future reference. It is best to wait until the nodes start alternating to flower, because the plant isnt mature if the nodes are not alternating. This only apply's when growing from seed because a clone is always as mature as the parent plant. I been meaning to comment on your grow just got a lil side tracked lol.
Ah that's good then because all my plants are alternating 2 are just now starting but I guess they are at that point. My fav plant has been having alternating nodes for some time. 3 days of 12/12 now. I was thinking about watering them tomorrow. Should I give them some nutes for flowering plants or for vegetating plants? I never wanted my plants to get too big. I feel so/so about flowering when I did but like I said it's all experimental and a learning experience. Obviously with my next grow they'll be allowed to vegetate longer, probably 7-8 weeks then I'll flower. They've been alive for a total of 45 days. I'll determine how I'm gonna do my next grow according to how these plants react during flowering. Also does thicker, stronger branches mean the plants will produce larger buds? If so what can I do to encourage that. Of course everything will probably naturally happen but I like to enhance things if I can lol.
looking good man.the postman.
Give them some flowering nutes, it will help them have the extra Phosphorus they will need to start forming flowers. If your worried about your plants getting to big during flower theres alot of ways to minimize strech some easy ways are to add cfl or mh 5500-6500k spectrum light to the plants during flower(along with the normal 2200-2700k hps lighting). Dont use ferts high in nitrogen during flower because it will cause more vegative growth and will can cause the plants to strech. There are also chemicals that can minimize stretch. You could also lst,scrog,ect if your worried about height. Cannabis can double or triple in height during flower depending on the strain , and the methods you use to minimize it. If you want thicker branches get a rotating fan on you plants those things help alot. Also alot of people dont mention this but root mass has ALOT to do with bud formation the better the root system the bigger the plant will be able to yield. Use as big of pots as you can, its something thats overlooked alot of times. You can check out my current grow the link's at the bottom of this post ive got some recent close up pictures at how my buds are forming at day 8 of 12/12. It will give you something to judge you buds formation progress at since your plants are only a few days younger in flower then mine. Stop by my thread and tell me what you think lol.
Hi orangeman just thought I'd stop by and check out your grow since you checked out mine. From that last pic they look really nice. I don't have anything to offer as it looks like you already have several fine minds at work here with you so I'll just cruise through. :)
Wow. Well so far from what I've learned my humidity is about 61% with lights off and it won't go below 54% when the lights are on. All I can say is I hope the humidity doesn't ruin the crop because there's not much I can do.
Damn. I went in my room tonight and my eyes almost popped out of my head lol. Those things grew so big since I last seen them. I'm like please don't grow any higher lol. No clear preflowers yet, I think one of them is just starting to show some. I seen a little fuzzy white thing so I'm thinking that's the pistil, I hope I get a male so I can take a plant out because I think the humidity is caused by the plants because when I first started it was at 40% now it's all the way at 60%. When the lights come on it goes down though. Hopefully I don't get molded but and hopefully I get a nice harvest :). Pics will be up next week. I have been busy all this week.
Also I was wondering. When they get close to week 6-7 or what ever do you guys think that'd be a good time to take a bud off and test it out? I heard some people test their weed out while it's growing to determine rather they want to harvest at that time or not depending on the high they get. I was wondering if that's alright because I'm not trying to get any sort of couch-lock effect at all lol.
Post some pics soon bro , I would like to see how there lookin. If you must harvest a bud early try and take one of the lower popcorn buds. And a rule of thumb is the more clear/cloudy the tricomes are the more of a entergetic high , the more amber tric's the more of a couch-lock type buzz. Alot of things come into play that effect the high but you wont really know the effects until you smoke it. Also dont harvest too early or you will be sacrificing yield. If your trying to not get couch lock ; harvest when most of the trich's are cloudy before very many start turning amber.
So the minute I see even one amber trich I should harvest? I'm really not trying to get that couch-lock shit lol. I really wanted to grow some kind of indoor Sativa strain because I really don't like the Indica's too much anymore.Quote:

I would be happy to trade my Sativa for your Indica any day. Allthough, this stuff did make me sleepy on occation. . .
Lol I'd love to trade too. I hate feeling sleepy. I want some weed that makes me feel the SAME as when I wake n bake every time I smoke lol. There's no better feeling when smoking (I mean none) than when you wake up in the morning and toke, it's just how I feel.
damn orangeman didnt know you were growing, will keep an eye out of this thread from now on.:thumbsup:
One question, I really need this answered Me being mad that the humidity was fucked in the room I finally put the dehumidifier in there. Had it on continuous dryness or w/e. Now the humidity was at 50% this morning. I'm pretty sure it's even lower now but the lights are off so I can't go in and check and see where it's at. I turned the dehumidifier's dial until it turned off. I never became fascinated with dehumidifiers until I found out it'll help keep the room dry which is what I needed so i'm wondering when I turned the dial until it turned off does that mean it'll turn on every time the humidity goes below the level it's at now and turn off when it doesn't need to suck in any more air? If so then that's good because I don't want it running all the time lol.
I would need to know the brand / model # of the dehumidifier to help you bro.
Damn..I don't even know the name. I'll post it later. Lights should be on in like an hour.
The dehumidifier is a Whirlpool Accudry. I don't know the exact model #. Also I accidentally pushed the timer. Now the time it comes on is a little off (god dammit). This shouldn't affect anything should it?
Oh, I think I found it. I think this is it.
Compare Prices on Whirlpool AD50DSL Dehumidifier
That has an "Adjustable Humidistat" so yes you set the level you want the humidity at then it will cycle to keep it at that level. I dunno what u mean about the timer?
"Adjustable Humidistat
The adjustable humidity control allows you to choose the dryness of the room for your family's comfort. The dehumidifier will cycle on and off to maintain your selected level of dryness and comfort"
I mean the timer for my lights, the HPS. I accidentally bumped into the timer and I knocked it off it's normal cycle of time. I tried to change it back to be exactly how it was but it doesn't work -_-..I'm just gonna leave it alone and let the lights turn on when ever they do. They're still on 12/12 so w/e.Quote:

Yeah it does, I turned it on when I noticed it was still off and past the time that it was suppose to turn on. I tried to adjust it back but I don't think it's the same. I'm not gonna bother anymore. Just gonna see what happens and try to be more careful next time.
a few minute change in the 12/12 cycle isnt gonna affect the plants so dont sweat it.
Meh, decided to put some pics up.
just reading through your thread orangeman and these are the humidity reading.
0-25 very dry
25-50 dry
50-75 normal
75-100 humid
hope this helps you out with the humidity, also a dehumidifier will dry your entire grow out to the point of no come back so be careful using it. nice looking plants :thumbsup:
looks good man! keep it up!
Meh, nothing....they look fantastic!
:jointsmile: Bree
lookin good,especially for a 1st grow,it is your 1st aint it?you did say,damn can't remember
