Mississippi Steve's first total indoor grow

[DTRave420]

Here's the week 2 pics..... I do have a question tho... its looking like one of the NCGD plants it trying to burn... I have not added any nutes and just using tap water that has set out for 24 hours. Lights are 3 - 4 inches from the tops of the plants, still on 18-6. Ideas? suggestions??

If you're staying with the MG soil,may I suggest adding some perlite and fine dolomite lime to it when you transplant...
Hope you don't mind me taking a seat Mississippi...Subscibed...:420thought:

If your talking about the plant in pic 3, I got one doing that. Might just have too wet soil. I have my NCDG in styrofoam 200z cups right now, and I water with a spray bottle. About 10-12 squirts a day to prevent over-watering. Just my :twocents: If your soil isnt too wet, dont know what to tell ya, lol. I am not feeding anything other than tap water right now as well...

Steve, I think ya got a bit of magnesium deficiency going on there, not nute burn: Revised: The Complete Guide To Sick Plants,pH and Pest Troubles - PlanetGanja.com
she's 50% Cinderella 99, which has been called a 'magnesium hog' before ... I never found that to be necessarily so, but it's something to think about ... but, don't go too wild with anything to remedy it, she tends to be a light-to-medium feeder, in my experience ... :jointsmile:

This is not advice...it's just what I do...

I add a pinch of epsom salt, mixed with every water. Seedling to Harvest. (I think white widow is a "mag hog", too).

Here is week 3 pics... gonna have to raise the lights again, the ultra haze is gonna be another monster. :thumbsup: I got some cal-mag ordered up... it should be here Monday or Tuesday. I have started feeding with Shultz liquid ferts.. 14 drops per gallon.

Just for grinns... does molassas have magnesium in it??

anyway, I will post another set of pics in a week.

BTW... I also FIM'ed the ultra haze and the larger of the two NCDG.

Hopefullythe cal-mag takes the edge off...I just looked at a bottle of Plantation Blackstrap Molasses and it lists the Magnesium at 8% per Tbsp based on a 2000 calorie diet for us...Good luck Mississippi...

OK...got the cal-mag equivelant from Home Depot.. they call it "garden lime". Transplanted my babies, after adding the garden lime to the MG potting soil(without moisture control), and added Superthrive to the watering mix along with Shultz liquid. Marked improvement overnight.. was worried I was gonna lose the smaller of the 2 NCDG. Anyway.... The temperature in their crib runs between 75 and 80 degrees when the lights are on.

First pic is the larger of the 2 NCDG plants.
Second is the one I thought I was gonna lose.
third pic is the Ultra Haze... its really happy under lights. :thumbsup:
the 4th pic is all 3 of them in their crib

I hope the puny one looks a lot better next week
