Orangeman's 1st log!

[atsar]

usually by now i'd have been using full strength nutes,usually after around a week or 2 of flower i'm on full strength,and at the stage you're at i'd be nuting every other watering,though i never feed after 6 weeks,not nutes anyway though do still give mollasses until harvest,well no N in mollasses
perhaps you could try some of them

can i assume you didn't want to over nute your ladies and that's why you aint been giving them?that's all good and well but your plants do need nutes,not enough nutes is just as bad as too many imo,either way you're plants miss out

oh by the way,they're looking good man

Orange,
these plants just start to take off sometimes. Update when things happen.

Lol that's exactly why I haven't given them nutes like I know I should. It's just if you go back in the log you'll see that there was a time when I was having problems with pesticide. Well funny thing is I started giving them vegetative nutrients too. So every since then I have been very skeptical about giving them nutes. I still don't know if it was the pesticide or the nutes that caused the new growth at that time to look retarded with brownish/blackish tips. I guess it can't hurt to try, if I give 'em too much I can just flush right? I think that's what I'll do because I don't want to under-feed them. Also I am constructing a ScroG screen. I believe I will be using feminized beans next time so my fear of training males is gone. I'm constructing it out of wire hangers. Got the idea from ICM. It might not be the most sturdy screen but it's better than nothing. I wasn't going to even do it if I couldn't find an easy way to do it. Now I just need something for the squares and something for the legs. It's not the best screen but as long as I can train my plants with it then it's ok . I couldn't duct tape the cut off ends yet because the tape is in my room and the lights are off lol.

Screen is intended for two plants. One thing I haven't figured out though is how I'm going to water them and flush them in that small room and get the run off water out of their pans successfully :-/..

[atsar]

my scrog was real tight too,i used a watering can with a hose attached,and i used trays for run off,if you know how much to give,you don't get much run off,so i just let the plant soak it back up,usually only took around 20 mins

hey orangeman should use coir pots or peat pots to start your plants in they are about 1 1/2" or 2" square you put potting compost or soil in them and when you come to repot them you dont need to take em out of these pot the disintgrate and roots grow through them save a fuck of a lot of time stress

[orangeman]

Nah I don't want to use peat pots. I seen the results of those. I'm just gonna use a styrofoam cup to start them off and when they get big enough put them in the same pots I'm using now and leave them there until they need to be chopped.

Things look good. As for the time of flowering, you hit the nail on the head. My plants are going a lot faster now that I have more light.
you do not have light leaks do you? that was the edit, afterthought I had.
Looking forward to your updates, even though I've only popped in once before.

[orangeman]

Nope no light leaks but I think it's the simple fact that I don't have enough lights to support the whole big branch of my plant. That's why I designed two separate screens for my next grow for a ScroG so I can get even light to the whole canopy.

[orangeman]

I'm starting to notice new "differences" and I was wondering if anyone could help me identify it before it gets any worse than what it is. I really don't think it's mites. I notice these little small things flying around but I didn't think they were really any harm because the fan always blows them off so they can never land on the plants to do anything if they were to do anything at all.

I was thinking it was heat burns but I keep a fan blowing on them. I guess it's not enough. Is it heat burns or what?

Also I'm wondering if my bud leafs are suppose to be this light of green?

[Bree1978]

It could be water spot burns, it didn't matter for me if I had a fan blowing on them or not....if I leave just a little water on them it sears them. Could it be that? Or are you getting condensation when your lights are off, and perhaps getting burned in the morning? Now that I see the pics, yes that is what it looks like.

It's not thrips though, is it? you said flying things. take a look at the thrips on the icmag thread.

The lighter color doesn't look good. Some is normal, but yours looks a little different than what I have experienced.
