Week 3 NLxBB

[BlazedMind]

Well after adding the next weeks nutrients into the reservoir the other night the plants got some ugly yellow spots on them. As soon as I noticed I added 2 gallons of water to dillute all the nutrient. It seemed to stop the nute burn as I posted over in the plant problems section with a picture. Thank god it didnt affect the whole plants and just a few leaves.

Other than that the plants look good and are still growing. I keep the ph around 5.7 or so. The ppm was around 400 or so counting the 60ppm from the tap water(havent installed RO system yet). They saw burn at 900ppm.

Just wanted to get an update out there to you. Comments always welcome. They are sitting around 7in tall at the moment. I have room for 3'. None have shown sex that I can tell but one has sticky stuff on the top of one of the leafs so im not sure what that means. It feels like resin sticky. :thumbsup:

Comments and questions welcome as always.


P.S. If you see some of those nute burns at the bottom that was from a previous post. I wasnt sure wether to clip those or leave em so I left them because it was only a few spots.

Just need a confrimation from someone experienced. Would it be a bad idea to throw the lights to 12/12 at the end of week 4?

The plants will be at least 12" tall by then(the tallest). I have 3' of room for growth and I need to find out which of the 9 are males/females.

those plants are looking good. you can flower them whenever. they'll probably double in size during flower, maybe a little less, so go from there

I think ill run them till friday and then throw the switch.

I may be seeing things but it appears that some of the plants may already have those white hairs on them up top but I tried to get a good look with my 30x lighted microscope from radioshack and cant see a damn thing. I think ill take it back as all i see is blur. I think I might see balls on 2 of them but then again that might be flowers waiting to come out.

Just an updated for today(thursday). The plants are sitting right at 13 inches tall. They grow so quickly. :rastasmoke:

I honeslty cannot tell which plants are male? I do see white hairs on the tops of most of the plants though. I have kept them in 23/0 light so far.

Another question for you: Being as this is the end of week 4 and according to PBP nutes do I change out the reservoir and go into bloom nutes?

I have only given the plants very little nutes right now and they seem happy with that. I have only given them about 15ml once a week last week and thats it since veg. I tried giving them more at one point and they showed nute burn. They seem happy so far and growing quickly.

P.S. I hope this makes since as I just got off a 12 hour shift and a little on the tired side. :jointsmile:

All 9 are now about 16" tall. I started the transition on sunday with half bloom/grow then ill rez change on sunday and switch the light to 12/12. I only got 3' to work with so I hope they fit or im forced to top?

Real happy with PBP so far as the plants love them. I keep the hut about 69degrees and the rez temp under 70. :rasta:

Well its the end of the first week of flowering. I have noticed 4 plants with white pistils and the other 5 were males. I chopped all the males down spread the females out to give them room. The plants are already almost 3 foot tall now and im not sure what to do as the light really dont move up any higher.

Should I just bend the plants over or cut some length off the main stem? Im unsure what to do at this point but everything else is looking good. Will post pictures later on.
