Since we're showing pet pix...
Here's Bo (4.5 lb chihuahua) and his favorite fetch toy.

LOL....that's awesome Rusty. We have a little chihuahua too, she's a freak. Does he eat your leaves too?

Looking forward for the lights to come on tonight and see how they like a night with half the PPM they were used to. I'll post results and updated pics when I see some change.

LOL...hrmmm, wonder why that is??

I thought that too, but it's not on the upper canopy, just on the lower half. If it was light burn wouldn't it be on the top too??

i have a light that has funny hot spots, probly need a new bulb but ne way. ,.

and i think a some kind of toxicity does that too but with the flush it shouldnt be a prob, no worries

That raises a good question. I'm having a brain fart on what they're called, but do those spot diffusers that you can put in front of your lamps work at all?? I was thinking since I have such limited headroom that I might want to consider one of those. Or the water cooled Cool Tubes.

Hopefully any toxicity that was in there is gone for the most part. I did two nights of heavy flushing, soaking, agitating, and draining. I pulled the male out last night as he has done his job now. So now there's much more needed room in the tent.

I was able to flush the plants down to between 600-700. I went a bought distilled water last night. I'm now saving up for and RO system btw. So I mixed 4 gallons of 35 PPM with Pro Blend flowering to bring it up to 360. Fed, resulting in a PPM runoff of around 550, which is lower than the previous night, but this time included nutes. So it's not as high as I've seen, but I want to ease back into things. They seem to be doing well, lots of new growth, and more little bud sites popping up all over the place. I'll update pics in a couple of days. The very tall lady(the original problem plant) that I had bent over and tied down has vigorously brought her head up and is going towards the light...she's much happier now.

Thanks again everyone, all the help is much appreciated. Hopefully after I get to learn more I can start to return the favor.

Glad to hear they're perking-up. :thumbsup:

If you untie her, she'll have a tendency to spring back upright. But check both ends of your string often, or you can strangle the plant. You can also tie-down the shoots as they compete to be the tallest, if need be.

Holy shit...these things are blowing up now! I've never seen such a response in such a short amount of time. There are new bud sites all over the place, and the existing ones are going crazy.

Rusty: ya I'm gonna leave her tied down for the rest of the grow. Her head is going back up of course, and all along the main stem there is new growth and new hairs (pisitls?). I am keeping the tie around the stem open so it has room to grow, and she seems to be extremely happy with the situation. Good idea on the chutes, I never thought about that...but it's good to know as I'm sure they WILL compete. Now after I've seen all the growth, I'm getting impatient LOL. My first grow and I think I might be more interested in the final product than smoking the final product. I'll update with pics on a few days.
Science is fun.

On a side note, is there ANY way to tell what strain this might be??? They were bag seeds, out two different bags. But it was VERY nice stuff.

[sergentjunk]

well they were perking up. Actually the two are doing goo...it's this one problem plant...

Pics 1 and 2 are leaves that are still on the plant.
Pic 3 are leaves I had to cut off
Pic 4 is a leaf still on the the, but a little higher up. (all the others are below the halfway point)
Pic 5 are the other two plants that seem to be doing ok, other than a small yellow spot on the one in the back.

After flushing friday and saturday nights, got the PPM down from 1400 to 700. Fed them sunday night and read the runoff to be in the mid 500's. Left them alone monday, and watered lastnight(tuesday night) with a very mild solution of nutes because I had some mix left over. Mixed some leftover with mostly tap water, had a runoff of 560PPM. Now I see this tonight. I still don't know what the ideal levels should be for my nute, coco combo. Botanicare's feeding schedule says nothing about PPM....so I'm kinda guessing here. I read somewhere on here that it takes about 3 days to see the effects of anything, so that would land this on about feeding day. Can someone please confirm if this is nute burn or not??

PH was always 5.9 going in and coming out with every watering.
I'm very confused as the other two seem to be doing ok with the same feed/water administration.

Thanks folks,
