how do these look?

[hydrocannabis]

well they R growing slow still.

and if they don't start doing better in the next 2 weeks I might realy just start over.

around 3 days ago I have them some blackstrap molasses water mix.

so do they look better or worse?

[Rusty Trichome]

Did you ever get a ph test kit? Adding the molassis affects the ph, and too much can cause nute lock-out. (it's way past time to get the darned water test)

Parts of the plant look good, but what's up with the foil and the dead yellow leaves? Also...are any of your tie-downs too tight around the stems?
I noticed what could be some nute burn on a couple of the leaves, (middle pix, left) Are you foliar feeding, on top of your regular nute schedule? Just curious why one set of leaves appears nute burned, but others look ok...
Also, how big is your flower cabinet?

[hydrocannabis]

I still need to get a ph test kit and I think I ma try to do it this weekend.

and no the tiedown Rn't too tight.
and I haven't foliar feed them eather.
and the growcab is 22-23 inchs long and 4 feet in hight not including the linght of the lights.
and 17-18 inches deep.

and the top of the soil feels dry BUT the middle and bottem of the soil feels wet. so what does this meen.

and I think I might start a nother plant in a 2ed and lill smaller grow box just in case the ones I have now don't make it. this way I'll have a back up plant to grow.

Cool. It's definatelly one of the garden tools that's worth having.

and the top of the soil feels dry BUT the middle and bottem of the soil feels wet. so what does this meen.

I let the top couple of inches of soil get pretty dry between waterings. When they need watering, I add a couple of cups of warm, ph'd water, (no nutes) then after about 5 minutes, I add the water/nute mix.

and I think I might start another plant in a 2nd and lill smaller grow box just in case the ones I have now don't make it. this way I'll have a back up plant to grow.

C'mon...you've got them this far. Don't give up now. With the knowlege gained by personal experience, comes skill.
If you can swing it, a second grow box is a very good idea. It didn't take long for me to realize that seperate veg/flower rooms are the way to go. Cuts waiting time for next crop in half. (got any cloning gel or powder?)

[hydrocannabis]

thanks much for the help. so I'll smoke one to that.
naw I ain't giving up on em yet.

so if I can tug on one of the bottem yellow fan leafs and it don't fall off.
then dose this mean that they do not needed to come off?

and 1 of my buddies says he has a thing that U stick in the soil and it can tell U the dampness of the soil or whatever.
should I say I want it.cuz he said he'd give it to me.

over and out.HC.

[Rusty Trichome]

You've already had problems with bugs, I'd get rid of the yellow leaves.
Is it one of the clay watering indicators you mentioned?
If so, they aren't very accurate. A few years ago I tried some in our houseplants. Were kinda ok for houseplants, but a fan would dry it out making it look like the plants need water, when they really didn't. I'd still check with my fingers to make sure.

[hydrocannabis]

ok so I stuck my fingers in the soil to see how dry it was. I put em 2 inches deep in the soil and it felt dry. so I gave it 1 of the botteled waters.

so I should cut off all the yellow fan leafs at once or like ever few hours.

and I was gunna go to my garden center to see if they have some good soft soil that I get so I can start a 2ed plant this time and it'll bee just 1 plant in the pots.

Sounds fair, lol.

If worried, you can remove just the worse of them first, but almost everything to do with growing cannabis, is best done in baby-steps.

Great idea. Make sure the soil has perlite and/or vermiculite. (better aeration, helps prevent clumping of the soil) Some brands have none.
One plant per pot will do wonders on your next grow. Won't be fighting over space and nutes.

You still growing in those rubbermaid tubs? How's the temp, humidity, light leaks and air circulation? Just curious how it's working out. Too bad you couldn't hook a chain from the ceiling to the top half. Would sure make it easier to work with the plants.

yah the grow box is around 70-84 of temps. and I don't know what the humidity is. light leaks and air circulation R all great.
2 fans in the box.

and the soil I saw at the garden center was schultz.
It was 12.00$ and now on sell. for 3.00$.for a big bag.

so ima gunna get it tomarrow. and start one of my dank seeds I have saved.

I might start it indoors then take it outdoors around march or whenever it WORMS UP OUTDOORS.

cuz I had great luck growing 1 of my huge tomato plants I had last summer.
as seen in the pix.

so I thought I would try growing some marry jane a poppen.
