Pepurr Pot

Hey pep, I was just reading your grow log man, you are doing pretty well on the budget your running. I did notice though that you asked if the discoloration was in any way normal, it is not. It looks to me like you may need to invest in a better soil right away. The lower leaves are showing sign that you may have a nitrogen problem since that is where the leaves do not look good, and the color is not right. You might also have a calcium issue but that is debatable.

There is no question now though that you need to spend a little now to keep your babies in good health if you want them to get big and strong, you will need a better medium for them to grow in.

I recommend using Fox Farms Organic Ocean Forest mix, it is relatively inexpensive if you buy it online ( I got mine on Amazon ) for roughly $8.95 for a bag. And it will last throughout your entire grow. I do NOT recommend Miracle Grow, for roses it's one thing, for this it is just too much and it will burn your plants horribly.

If online is not an option for you, check out your local nusery for organic soil mixes, look at their plants, are they flourishing, do they use perlite, make sure you look for these characteristics when choosing soil from local nursey's, if the people have all of their plants in good health, chances are you will too by using whatever they use. Which I can guarantee you, will not be miracle grow.

But nonetheless, get them a better medium right away, waiting too long and it might become too late. After transplanting, you will see signs within a week or so that they are doing alot better with alot of new growth, the areas already affected by nutrient loss look like they are done for, at the very bottom, you can still save what you have though so get your ass looking for new soil before its too late :p

I have confidence that you'll do just fine :thumbsup:

looks good, a thought; maybe the droopy ness and the yellow leaves are related. I would think about transplanting at this time to bigger pots. everything looks good, assuming they have the correct nutes then maybe they just need more room.
Also they are big, in the end they double size if not way more so if your flowering room is big then go for it but if not start thinking about the space caseu when you put them into flowering the roots begein to stop growing and the buds and the plant start to grow more. a plant that big needs a big pot maybe 3 gallon.

...I agree with the budget comment, and am kinda walking that path mesef. I really think that the main advantage of Flourescents is that they put out way less heat (but still a bit!), which lets you get 'em RIGHT close to the plant, thereby wasting less lumenenenen..

The yellow/droop thing really sounds like a replant is needed for the dear plant, and try to gently open up the root ball a bit, if you can.

Looking pretty good tho! [Power to the pepurr! couldn't resist ;)]

I flushed out the soil with 2 gal. tap water. Tap water had set out for 3 days. I did notice that some of the little green fertilizer balls in the soil had burst/flattened.

I doubt I will use pre-fertilized soil again. I don't like not having control. With pre-fertilized soil there is no control of the nutrients. They may have a good proportion of basic nutrients, but while the plants are young this may be to rich.

The other plant I call Droopy has the slightest hint of burn on the tips of the lower leafs. Otherwise, it is growing bushy and thick. It being in the same type of soil makes be believe some plants may be more tolerant of these soil conditions.

I included some pictures of the bottom leafs. While I was pouring in the water, my hand brushed one of the leafs. It promptly fell off.:wtf3:

Just a thot, pepurr, but it might just want a bit more water. If it was only fan leaves that fell off, and looked yellow/burnt, I would suspect she was thirsty. I've had the unfortunate fact to deal with mesef of late...

Trim the truly burnt/yellow ones, and make sure she gets fed, and a bit of SuperThr!ve could be of use in a foliar spray...

I'd say they still look frisky...!

Here is the 4 week mark for my grow.

I did cut off the affected leafs. I will try waterng twice a week and see how it goes. The soil drains extreamly well. I have to dig down 3 or 4 inches to get moist soil, and then it isn't very moist at all.

Sometimes I think "Indica Maybe" has screwy genitics. Look at the pic with an arrow pointing to a long branch. It shoot out there, leaving the others behind. None of them are the same length. Not even close.

Droopy hasn't this problem. You can't see them because the leafs droop and it is thick, but all the secondarys on it are nice and even. Growing nicely too.

Anyway, here are the pictures.

Edit: I almost forgot. The "Indica Maybe" Come out with its 1st staggered node. Maybe time to go 12/12. Maybe I should wait. What would you do?

and then

and then, and then

It's looking good pepurr, alot better than the smaller containers. Did you add nutes/new soil? The plants look alot happier now.
