Pure Power and Pure Gold: First Grow

[HighLane]

[I] ay HighonaMountain i also have a Pure Gold Up an Going, what week are they at??

[HighonaMountain]

okay so these are post flush so thats why the leaves are a bit droopy. I went to the store and got some powderized garden lime and mixed in a good handfull to each pot. then i flushed with another gallon. the ph of the runoff did not change, in fact it went down a point or two. the pure power looks okay with a little yellow tip from the grow big fert. but the leaf pics are of the pure gold. now the ph is reading at 5.5 5.4. the plants look decent but the numbers are all wrong. HELP!! By the way highlane my seeds were put in the ground on the 8th of feb. so they will be 30 days old on the 9th of this month.

The yellowing an necrosis are from the nute's,we expected too see that come up.
Are you letting the soil dry-out between waterings? very important!
When you do water,let's run the ph at 6.8 an ignore the run-off ph for a week.It can take awhile for the plant to show any sign's from changes.
So I say we go back to the basic's for a week an see what happens.

Figure on around 60 day's for flower,so if you start flower on april 1st,you'll be ready around june 1st. That give's you a few more week's too veg an max out your space.

okay, thanks dive, my ph meter was working great all day and then it started flashing through numbers like crazy, so im givin it time to rest and im gonna ph my water resivoir. the soil is def. drying out between waterings, i only water about once a week maybe every 5 or 6 days. I agree though ill ph the resivoir to 6.8 and well see how it goes from there.

Buy the liquid tester..it's like 4 buck's an gives you the option of double checking.The truth is I was a lil concerned about your meter's accuracy.

yeah im def. gonna get some liquid tester. I re calibrated the meter a little while ago and it seems to be working ok now. i just have to make sure i calibrate it often. Yo high lane how is ur pure gold doin?

[HighonaMountain]

hey thanks for the rep points dive, u da man. Ill post some fresh pics tomarrow.

[HighonaMountain]

heres and update. these are post flush, like 24 hours. they r looking great, after the flush they perked up so high and now they r looking normail again. the new leaves on the pure gold are growing now, whereas the last couple of days it has been very slow. I think they might have had a calcium or Mg def. and i think the powderized lime i added is helping. N e way, anyone out there let me know what u think.

[HighonaMountain]

so my 400w hps came this morning and i already put it up. The plants look like they r doing good. i hope to post more pics in the next couple of days.

[HighonaMountain]

Yo dive or anyone else, ever since i put the 400w on the plants the temp. is hovering around 82-83f. Is this okay? the plants seem to be doing fine.
