HAHAHAHA well it is good entertainment when my friends go in to take a piss and I hear guffaws coming from the loo.

As for the stink, that would be a nice bathroom freshener.

But seriously they are only living there temporarily until my friend sets up his hydrohut and they take up residence there.

would you recommend an All purpose (24-8-16) or a Nursery Select (30-10-10) and would that be full strength or deluted?

I also have a fish emulsion, mix that with the fert also or is that too much?

[stinkyattic]

Leave the fish goo out of the foliar feed.
Either one of those would be okay for a foliar at this stage as long as it has micronutrients in it.

side by side compare has the Nursery Select with more micro's, i'll leave the all purpose for normal feeding..... this should be full strength?

[stinkyattic]

It's quite likely that there is an instruction on the bottle for use as a foliar feed.
If there isn't go ahead and use it at the recommeded strength. Add one drop dish soap as a sticking agent.
Go easy; don't drown them... A spray today, then another tomorrow.

ok, so yesterday i foliage fed the plants and this morning i am starting to see that they are getting darker green veins on the leafs. I believe this is what i should be seeing, is this correct?

One other thing i just thought of, is it possible to stress a plant by putting it under a 600w MH light before it had a large root ball? Currently the plants are about 5 inches tall and they have been under the 600w MH light for about 2 weeks now, i'm wondering if i stressed them by putting there too early (if thats possible)

[stinkyattic]

You are wanting to see darker green between the veins as well, but that is a start.

Yes, you can stress a newly-rooted clone by putting in under too-intense light too early, but if you weren't seeing severe droop/wilt, that wasn't your big problem. As long as the plnats are a sufficient distance from any intense light source until it is clear that they are well-rooted, you are fine.

i did see some tips drying up and dieing in the beginning but i clipped those so the plant wasnt putting any energy into them. Sounds like i'm on my way then... thanks alot stinky, greatly appreciated.
