Nutrient Lock ?

[Charbud]

I only have to water daily because I use small pots. Weezard grows in coco with much larger pots and he waters every 3 days (as far as I remember).

My mate tried bubble cheese for the 1st time on his last grow. The buds were really small and he got less than half of what his plants normally produce. Maybe you should try a higher yielding, slightly less potent strain next time?

Ye i think i chose sum pretty shitty strains to be honest. I get bowled over my the descriptions and the names which get me all excited and so i have to grow them and i never research the strains. Oh well, learnt my lesson now ! And yes high yielding is the idea for the next grow! sticking with barneys seeds, definately didnt fail me with the vanilla kush.

Talking of pics, I know you were thinking of going the bonsai route and I did say that I would post up the pic of my bonsai experiment. This was the smallest of the 2 plants...



I put them into flower the day I got the cuttings as they were about 7-10 days into veg (guestimate) they had about 5 or 6 nodes. Got 24g's off the smaller one and 52g's off the bigger one (dried weight).

This was the last bit of bud from the smaller plant once it was cured.


I'm gonna have to create a yahoo account or sommat so we can have a proper chat sometime.

Mate that bonsai is nuts. I still dont get how you yield so much bud of your girls using cfls.. i got an oz of my vanilla kush which was an lst, vegged for 5 weeks or something and you can do that with a bonsai plant ! madness..what strain was it ? good smoke ? anything on the go at the moment ? my email is [email protected] if you ever wana chat. Havent got yahoo anymore, the messenger programme was too annoying on my comp, always opened on start up.

A friend of mine was growing in a shed just before last winter, his plants got cold and they took weeks to recover.

Another thought.... How cold is the water you are adding? I keep my water at room temperature for 24 hours before I use it, so it doesn't chill the roots when I feed.

Ye the cold definately effects them, had that problem with my first grow...cold hit em and they didnt grow at all till harvest. I feed them straight from the tap but i do try to warm it up a bit, not warm water but like you said room temp so luke warmish. When i flushed though the water was pretty cold but the heater does keep the soil warm as before i would feel the soil and they would feel freezing cold and now they feel normal.

I still partly blame nirvana seeds because even in the cold the bud size is appauling and its hillarious, one plant is half the size of another and they are the same strain, grown under the same lights, same nutes everything yet one is double the height. Cant say the most consistent plant!
