4 Plant first grow grow log (White Ruski)

[bingotoad]

Okay, so I've been asking a lot of questions on here about my plants, and you all have been very helpful. But i want to start a grow log, take pictures, have hopefully you more experienced growers can help me along the way.

Im doing a total of 4 indoor plants. I ordered the seeds off an European website and the are called "White Ruski" They are Indica / Sativa (Indica dominant). The website says they are a mix of AK47 and White Widow. Also it says "The THC content is considered very, very high + 20%. The plant will do well indoors and out."

Anyway...
I started 2 them on Tuesday, June 22nd, and I decided to start 2 more on Friday, June 25th. The first 2 i started out in paper towels, and the second 2 i didn't. I don't know if that has that much to do with it, but the first 2 seem to be doing way better then the first 2.

Heres a list of what I am using:

- PRO-MIX ULTIMATE ORGANIC for the soil
2 Gallon pots, with rocks in the bottom
2 box fans
400w MH light (Just switched from a 108w Florescent light)

The lights are being kept on for 16 hours a day, and completely dark for the other 8 hours. The PH of the water is about 6. I mixed 4 gallons of water, and 10 tablespoons of "American Pride" fertilizer for the water, although i just read its bad to let the water sit like that. The temperature in the room is about 88, I know that's VERY hot, after i get paid Saturday im going to get an air conditioner for the room.

Here are some pictures:
The First 4 are pictures of the first 2 plants, and the ghetto setup i have going on.





These Last 4 are pictures of the 2 other plants that dont seem to be doing as well:





As you can see, some of the leaves are curling and are a little discolored. Does anyone know what this could be from?

So if anyone can give me ANY helpful tips along the way it would be highly appreciated. I know the heat is WAY the high, but the past few days have been about 95 degrees here, so its bad. I am getting an air conditioner for the room on Saturday or Sunday.

Thanks guys, ill keep updating and checking on this.

I cant figure out how to edit my post, but this line is supposed to read:

"I don't know if that has that much to do with it, but the first 2 seem to be doing way better then the SECOND 2."

Tips or tricks? Anyone?

Lift the light higher until you get your ac in the room & knock that temp down.
Go easy on the nuits, you might be burning them. Rule of thumb dont give the full amount as it says on direction. Give a 1/4 of what it says & work your way up. Maybe guys in here with more experince can help you better but thats what I see.

yeah, ill go lift that light right now. A buddy of mine told me to use half of what it says on the nuits, and hes been growing for about 3 years. i didnt really understand why i should use half, so i used a bit more then half. but ill knock it way down, i didnt know that over feeding plants can hurt them. Thanks

How is it going so far? I just ordered these seeds and excited to grow them. I saw they have a quick flowering stage(50-62 days?), just seeing how long you are gonna veg and everything. Cheers

Allright...So you are seeing the older leaves curl and die. This is the norm when growing seedlings. But, you are overlooking something missing in your nutrient schedule. CAL MAG. I was having this very problem when I first started growing from seeds. It helps big time.

Hey guys, sorry i haven't updated this in a while, but Ive been busy. I JUST took pictures of the plants. They have now been growing for 1 month and 1 week. The plant that was messed up, is still messed up. It has brown curling leaving, and i cant figure out why. I'm not doing anything different to that plant, its just not growing right. I tried what "Martyrprojekt" said with the CAL MAG, so i added just a little bit of Molasses to the water that im watering that plant with. So, here are some pictures of that the plants are looking like now.

This is the tallest plant, its 26 inches. Its growing about 1.5inches everyday.




This is the plant that with the brown curling leaves. id like to say, once again that ive been doing the exact same thing to this plant as the other 3.



This is a picture of all 4 plants.


And this is a picture of one of the plant tops.


Im watering all 4 of these plants 2 or 3 times a day. Once with fertilized filtered water, then next time with just filtered water, then back to fertilized and so on. they are still under the 400w MH light for 16 hours a day. In 3 weeks it will be 2 months, and i plan on switching the light cycle from 16/8 to 12/12 to induce budding.

This is my first grow, and im very open to tips and helpful things. So, if anyone has any good information, please post it. Thanks

My first grow this year as well but i think they are looking awsome. :thumbsup:

Though you mite want to find out whats the burning and curling about mine did that and now its only got a top left all the leaves fell off practically dead ><

Tonight I decided to check the PH of the runoff water, it was about about 4.5! so I flushed all the plants with really high PH water. It took about 3 gallons per plant. Now the run off water is about 6.5. Hopefully they'll all be doing better in about a week
