So how they hangin', glock...?

They are a good way to judge how well you are fitting into this little society, and are often given when one either makes a great point, or crosses the line of social acceptance. (the good and the bad)

whats was so rude saying i enjoy my plants through its life cycle.

Possibly it was the sophmoric inferences you were associating with a sexual experience. Or perhaps the' lovin' after death' reference that soon followed. Hard to tell, but the way weirdo's are now-a-days...those of us with daughters don't find this kind of humor particularly funny.

i myself am a father of 2. i do understand your concern for those nasty sex offenders. But i was talking about plants. not humans. I am totally sorry if i offended anyone. I am very highly respected in our co-op club. Maybe i should just show my passion through the great things i learn here. Thank you rusty for the explanation . I highly respect you and i agree with other's that your knowledge and constructive critisim rank amongst the best on this site.:jointsmile:

[Ocotillo]

Of course you're missing something. If you go around disrespecting our female board members by gratuitously abusing the word bitch and say you like inanimate objects more than (not then) your own girlfriend..... Then you'll never get it. Grow up and go back to your 3rd grade English class to learn spelling boy.

"So how they hangin', glock...?"

Ok the little lady got axed the other day she didn't make it she was the worse looking of the three. The middle plant has not taken off yet but she is looking better every day after i cut the dead leaves off and gave only water now.....
The big lady i don't know whats wrong with her after i posted here the other day just been giving her little bits of water foliar and a splash to the soil. So every day her lower leaves droop and seems to droop more and more every day, but heres the tricky thing in the morning after night sleep her leaves look perky almost and stand up almost perfect and as she goes through the day she looks not so perky on her bottom. I don't get it the flowers are looking real nice though i added another 60watt house bulb with reflector to give the lower flowers some more light here is the pic i just took shes about to go to bed this is what she looks like at night and in the morning she comes back up????? WTF?
Sidenote: I never call my gf the "b-word" i refer the "Bword" to my cranky and finicky non human females. Sorry if this thread went bit off topic
PLEASE HELP I DONT WANNA LOSE HER SO FAR IN!!
Compare the first pic of her in the thread and then the last one.

Did you ever fill out a trouble shooting form, the link is in Rusty's sig line.

They look terribly dry, when you say "giving her little bits of water foliar and a splash to the soil" is that how you are always watering? When they say to not over water that is not what they mean. You should water thoroughly, completely soaking the soil pot and getting about 10% excess runoff. It's even better to do this in stages. I like to water a little and let it soak for 5-10 minutes, repeat again 2-3 times total. Let the soil dry out on the top 1-2 inches and then it's time to fully water again.

Also if you have never flushed yet I'd do that to kill two birds with one stone.

If you want to be really good you'll test that first runoff water to see what's going on inside the soil pot. High pH and high ppm/EC would indicate time to flush. If you don't have a ppm/EC meter flush once a month or more. If you don't have a pH meter you could use fish tank "drops" test kit although water color will skew results.

Stick your finger a couple inches into the soil, is it wet or dry? I'm betting dry.

Ok it was dry! im just scared to do this flush thing so close to being done my green thumb is wearing off. How is the proper way to do this? And should it be done in the morning or at night? How much water is a good flush? Until i flush should i water now meaning at night or in the morning? Thanks keep the help coming

[Ocotillo]

Excellent sticky thread on flushing:
http://boards.cannabis.com/plant-pro...hy-how-do.html

Again, I either water fully with plenty of run off, or I don't (usually) water at all (with few exceptions). Flushing is usually just like watering except you use 2-3 times the amount water than the size of the pot. When you don't flush all those salts (nutes/fertilizers) accumulate which is not good. Plus they are dry, very dry. Please, no more "light sprinklings", water like you mean it.

One more thing, notice how light the soil pots are before watering. After you water thoroughly notice how heavy the pots are. Make a mental note to water when the pots get light as that's about time to water again.
