Orangeman's 1st log!

Well I don't know much to do. Should I give them some vegetative nutrients for the lighter green or should I just give them some more flowering nutes? Well it says iron deficiency is caused from too much phosphorus nutes. So should I flush them and wait to see what happens or what? I don't know what to do because the leaves looks dark enough, I don't want to over feed them but I don't know why the leaves look green like this. Why out of all the time these things have been growing it has to give me problems now....*sigh*.. Also no I'm sure they aren't getting any water on them. I don't see how any water could have touched the leaves, I never bring water any where near the tops. And the lights turn off at about 9:35 am, they turn on at 9:25 pm. So I don't know anything about what goes on in the morning. I'm usually still sleep after the lights go off.

The only thing I can think of about that condensation thing is the dehumidifier was full and the temps dropped to like 78 when it's usually like 85 but I don't think that's enough to cause the water burns is it? And btw no I don't think it's thirps. I seen what thirp damage looks like and I don't notice that any where on my plants.

I wouldn't stress about the water spots. Those marks could be from just rubbing the plants together too...and I wouldn't feed, just water with your ph'd plain water and see how that goes. Don't flush, that will stress them more, it doesn't look severe, just something to keep your eye on. Perhaps it was just a tad too much for them, but in a water or two they'll need nutes again and be more able to handle them. hell, maybe they are pretty nomal for the strain you have. I don't think alarms are going off yet, soil has been very forgiving for me!
When you do give nutes again, don't give any veg nutes. I missed it, what bloom nutes are you using?

.....for fuck sake. Well I took matter into my own hands and just decided to give them some more flowering nutes. But that was before I came back on here to read. I was guessing since I only gave them full nutrients once and since the leaves were lighter I was thinking it was a deficiency thing rather than something that was "too much". Probably gave them too much water most of the time when I water them so I figured they probably wanted more nutrients. Let's just hope when I go back down there tonight they aren't burned from the nutes I gave them. If so I guess I'll have to flush *sigh*...You just mentioned something about iron and I read the back of my nutes (FloraNova Bloom) and it said iron was one of the supplements so I...basically went full strength again and gave them just a little bit. But I had already watered them with a weaker strength solution earlier..like 10 mins earlier before I gave them just a bit of full strength. Well, let's just hope they have been waiting for another good feeding like that and don't overreact on me. Also I moved the lights to 17'' away from tops just in case any heat stress was the reason for the twisted guard leaves on buds and burns on the leaves.

.....for fuck sake.

I started laughing when I read that! Sorry, I don't mean to poke the bear....I think I heard some growling while reading it, ha ha.

I always water my plants A LOT- when they need it. It seems to help keep the ph in ck for me.

I'll ck in tonight to see how it is going. At five weeks of flower, maybe it is just what they needed, I just am not sure and that is why I said don't go off on a tangent doing stuff, lol. If you haven't fed since last week, I doubt you burned them. If they are burned (and I mean significantly not just some burnt tips), you can always give them a nice plain ph'd water like you mentioned (with a smidgen of a 1/4 stregnth nutes at the end to make sure they have something to eat).

I've been going everyother water almost but I have a lot of light. Now I'm on six weeks and no nutes anymore because I use chemical ferts. On my floro grow (mostly, the last four weeks were hps) I nuted maybe three times in flower before just giving them molassess/water or plain ph'd water. I stopped at six weeks, but they were more advance than yours are now (I introduced that Hps which changed the ballgame).

Again, I'll be thinking about them, and try not to stress, you haven't lost them.

Lol yeah, I guess I just act too fast. I just like to make sure they're fine at all times, I don't even like things to go wrong for a second. They are in 3 gal pots and I used to give them each 1 gal of water. They would run down with so much run off water. I don't think I'm going to keep doing that though, I'm gonna try to just give them just enough water but not enough to make tons of run off. I would be emptying my trays about 5 times before they are doing leaking, and even then there is still some run off that comes out after like 20 mins later of them just sitting lol. But I haven't been feeding them much so I think I might feed them one more time next week.

I really think I only fed them about 4 times, this time being the 4th. I guess I have always been easy about nutes because I gave them 1 TSP of vegetative nutes (FloraNova Grow) when they were just growing, at 4 weeks and 4 days and they still really didn't seem to like it. So I thought that stuff was too strong. I'm going to try not to stress Bree lol. I'll see them later on tonight so I'll see how they are. And actually I made a miscalculation. This is the 6th week already. I was going by the weeks to determine the maturity before but I guess the amount of days doesn't mean a thing. I'm just gonna go by what satisfies me from now on to determine when to start flowering and when to harvest..

Words to live by.........


and about the watering thing, I've always read that when you water your plants you should achieve a 10 percent run-off. I always supercede this, but that is what works for me!

Well I checked them just now. They're fine. Looks like the light green is coming back a little darker. Well I'm just gonna keep waiting until they get fatter and fatter and get ready for harvest lol :stoned:

[Bree1978]

Right on, man! :thumbsup:

Yar, I guess I'll give a picture update next week. God I can't wait to sample these things. One question though, if I decide to sample anything where should I get the sample from? Of course I'd get it from one of the bottom pop corn nugs but will it affect my plants growth any? I'll just wait until it's all done if it slows growth down any, I'm already pushing it with 250 watts of light that can't even get that close so I don't want to slow down anything.
