Pure Power and Pure Gold: First Grow

[Divestoned]

OK when in doubt...feed them a lil less...untill you get a meter,run the nute's a lil lighter.
Could definatly be over-feeding them. the 3 gallon buckets should be fine.the PH sounds fine.

yeah thanks man that sounds great. ill look into getting a ppm meter and i didnt feed them anything the last watering and the next time i feed ill give them less.

Okay. so im pretty damn positive it was nutrient burn now. im using fox farms grow big. It was the first time i gave them any nutes at all but i mixed a big teaspoon in a gallon and i think i should have used about half a teaspoon or less. im in 3 gallon buckets and i water about 3 cups to each plant about every 4 or 5 days. when i fed them i used about 2 1/2 cups each of the mixed gallon and no straight water. if there is anyone out there using grow big that has n e advice, it would be greatly appreciated. I think they are getting better, all the new leaves have better color and i dont think ill feed again for the next few waterings. Anyone looking at my pics, feel free to put in ur 2 cents about how they look to u. Thanks to everyone out there in advance.

i really fuckin hope so with all the cash ive invested in this.

[HighonaMountain]

yo, dive. how tall do u think i should grow them before i start to flower. Ive got a 400w hps on the way in the mail.

[Divestoned]

That's not really a yes or no question...

how much time you wanna spend and how much height is available in your room are two factor's. A plant 2 feet tall,will generally grow too 3 feet tall within 2 week's of changing schedule.After that the thickness will increase but height will pretty much stay same.
Also you may want too consider cutting the top off to encourage the lower branches.
You can e-mail me at [email protected] Maybe we'll talk on the phone so i can explain thing's in better detail.

okay so heres my space situation. my closet is tall up to the ceiling but only 2 feet deep. Im only gonna have the 2 plants under the 400w hps and i was hoping to try and have them done near the end of may or the beginning of june at the latest hopefully. U know, this is my first grow so i am trying to do it the best i can. I dont know much about cutting the top off but it sounds interesting. So with my grow space this size, what do u think? thanks so much dive, u have been a great help.

Shit. I have a serious problem. so i decided to flush them today and i could not get the runoff ph any higher then 5.6. I think im going to add some lime or something. Yo dive, what do u think? I flushed the 3 gallon pots with about six gallons a piece and even on the last gallon the runoff did not change. And the crazy thing is that i was flushing with water that was ph'd at 7.5. I dont know what to do and the growth of the pure gold seems stunted. any advice from anyone out there would be greatly appreciated.

post me a good close up of the problem.
