400w Big Bang & Haze/Skunk

[mrorganics]

my advice is this,hint you have a cooled fixture wich reduces hot lights so you can drop that sucker down to about 10 inches abouve do this and you will see significant changes in growth i also grow with a 400 watt set up and un vented i might add and i still have it no more than 15 inches from tops

That light is actually about 6" from the tops. Any closer might be too warm, but not hot. Better safe than sorry, and I think 6" is plenty close.

I took that small purple fan on the left and attatched it to the open end of the cool tube. The temp went down only 1 degree, but it's getting warmer outside so it couldn't hurt.

They have really grown since those last pics were taken and flowers are forming all over :dance:
They had their first dose of FF Beastie Bloomz last night. I checked the pH too and it has risen from 6.4 to 7.4 since I switched to non-organic. Think its time to flush?

whoa wtf happened to my week 2 posts? there were two posts with photos. nice.
well, here they are... AGAIN... before I flushed. The pH is now back down to 6.4-6.6 They were looking N starved for so early in flower, so I gave them some 15-30-15. I will post week 3 pics tonight.

keep those temps down the best you can, and water often. those "fringed" tips mean she is either heat stressed or very thirsty (trying to disipate as much as it can but cant)...just my 2 cents for ya. good luck man!

Temps are 78 degrees F with lights on/69f off, and they are well watered. That plant is weird. Its had blade edges like that from the beginning. I always water at night when the lights come on, then the next night it will have beads of water on the leaf blades. And no, its not from water splashing onto them. It's weird, but it doesn't seem to be having any trouble. There is a photo of it below.

They all have signs of a N def, but Big Bang 1 has it real bad. I know some yellowing is normal during flowering, but not this much at 3 weeks. Correct me if I am wrong. I checked the pH again last night and it was at 6.3. Any ideas?

try and get your temps between 70 and 75 during the day and 60-70 at night. anything higher then 75 for all 12 hours is stressing them. its ok to have the room heat up to 80 as long as its not for long periods and constant. they definately are a lil hungry, give them a lil flush with a mild nute but dont go overkill on the mixture. start them out slow so they dont "nute burn" which will fuck up your ph and can cause salt build up as well. give them some nitrogen for the next two weeks then flush em and switch to a no N and all PK mixture. in the first post, third pic, i notice that the leaf tips are curling downward, this is heat stress and improper watering/PH balance. my ladies personaly like a 7 ph. do you have city water or well water? city water is usualy shitty for growing. lastly, water in the morning as soon as the light comes on and not at night. im just trying to help ya out man thats all, dont take anything the wrong way...fellow patient here
