My first grow

[Jerry Garcia 2007]

Atsar,
Thanks for the corection, I was not sure and gave a conservitive number, it is hard to guess weight being so far from harvest.

[atsar]

yeah man,it's a hard thing to estimate is final yeilds and even harder to get an answer too,there's just too many variables,lights nutes ventilation strain etc,but it helps to know what other people are pulling per plant,my 1st plant was a proper runt only 18 inches tall when i harvested and i was expecting like a half ounce based on what i was told yet i got 2 oz from it

Oh yeah, they are looking good. Still need to add SWEET to my nute jug. Probably start em on that tommorow. They really suckin up the fluids!

Deaner,

Merry Christmas,

They look droopy, also you have some yellowing leaves. Do you have a moisture meter? How much and how often are you watering and what is your pot size? droopy leaves are a sign of underwatering, as for the leaves I need more info from above to properly diognose.

[deaner]

I water whenever the pot feels light, and the top looks dry, I am afraid to water too much because I was told the yellowing was from OVERwatering. I'm confused. And whether or not to use the nutes everytime I water them.. I' ve never heard of a moisture meter.

Forgot one thing, you can remove the leaves that are blocking light to new growth, this will promote new growth. I remove the leaves that point straight up to the light and straight down into the soil and leave the ones that are horizontal when doing LST.

WTF just wrote a post and never made it on here

Oh well try again,

Deaner,

A moisture meter is a tool with a prob that you stick into the soil and lets you know the moisture content of the soil at differant depths. When I first started to use mine I found I was not watering enough for fear of the same thing you are "OVER WATERING" but when I used the meter I found the soil at the bottom of the pot was dry. So to counter this problem there are 2 ways 1st is to water slowly (around 16 oz a miniute) until water comes out the bottom of the pot. 2nd is to break up where you water if you have drainage saucers with high sides 1" or more water 2/3 on top and 1/3 on the bottom, the soil will act like a sponge and soak up the water from the bottom.
After using the meter for a couple of weeks, I noticed when the plants need water the leaves at the very top of the plant are at the 3 to 4 o'clock position, when the plant is happy and has enough water they are at the 2 to 1 o'clock position.

Removed a few leaves, gave them the 1/4 strength pure blend, and sweet, givin them a little xmas treat. Temps are finally staying under 80, took the cover off the fan seemed to do the trick for some reason.

[Jerry Garcia 2007]

Great!! you got the temps in the 70's

BTW you can get a moisture meter at HD for $10 to $15

Now I realize with the fan, the grow rooms getting a little more obvious. Kids over for a night, by the time they come over again I gotta be a little less obvious. Without the big fan, the temp goes through the roof, so how to hide that? Gonna cut a big square hole in my door for the fan, and try to kinda work towards sealing the room (from light)comepletely so its ready for flowering.
