The lime build-up I was referring to was from your water source. Hard water has a lot of lime in it, so if you spilled some water and let it evaporate, you'd see this white residue left behind. I'm no water expert, but with a starting ph of 8.0, it could be all the lime making it that high, or then something else. Anyways I don't think you'll have a problem, I had white residue on my soil before (from hard water).

i dont think thats it. ive spilled the water on hardwood floors and shit and never saw a white residue, but if that is the case and the water has a lot of lime in it than what does that mean as far as the plant?? like are they gonna die?:what:

From the looks of it, nah

But I would think about transplanting into 5 gals if you already didn't, just to get some fresh ph balanced soil in there.

It could be salt build up from the nutes. I'm not sure if salt build up on the roots could be a problem. Are you feeding every watering?



Your girls look pretty healthy over all, as for not making "Buds" it's only day 12 of around 70. Give em another week or 6

i put them in their current pots about 3 1/2 weeks ago, wasnt planning on transplanting again til about halfway through flower. i dont think i put enough perlite in the soil cuz when it dries it gets hard like clay and the water doesnt penetrate it like i would want it too.... the plants are only a little over a foot tall in the 3 gal bags. i contemplated whether or not i wanted to finish in these bags but i dont want the lime to wear out and give me ph problems right near the end... i hate these bags cuz i cant just pop em off to take a look at the roots. next time im deff. usin pots lol

i feed them every other watering, which is about once a week. non feeding days just water and molassas.

IMO they look pretty good for 12 days in. all have pistils shooting out of everywhere except that one runt. im thinking bout just chopping her but then again ive heard so many stories of the runts turning out to be the best yeilder. just wish i knew what was causing the leaves to curl. theyve been doing that since they were seedlings thou so idk.

thanks for the input guys:thumbsup:

ok so for some dumb reason i switched my timer to the on position and forgot to turn it back to the timer
so the plants got 2 hours and 40 minutes of extra light...
im 13 days into flowering and worried now
it this gonna give me hermies? or will it be ok if it just happened once?

[SoHigh420]

anyone?

That's not good,... but it's more when it happens regularly that it becomes a problem.


try not taking the timer off of auto When the lights shut off,... it's time to get out.
