just not sure ?
ur god dam hero Polish:thumbsup: my research was leading me to look at seaweed extract ? a new grow shop has opened close to me and i will be looking for that fert u recommended or at least as close to 7-9-5.
iv just flushed the runt , its looking alot better but more yellowing . ur not gonna beleave , i was offered 4 plants that are 6 weeks old grown out side , i beleave the runt cant from the same source , the plants will come with a 400w HPS lamp , all they have to be is finished , i will know more later ,
i was hoping to ease myself into this , gaining xp as i go , but with my seedlings almost dead , i now have an opportunity to flower 4 healthy unsexed plants , btw my mt8 said there no catches , if i get anything from them all he wont is a bit of smoke ,
some things are to good to be true ?

EZG, it's not so much the 7-9-5 numbers that are important here, but those are good numbers to use. It's actually all the micronutes that come in with the NPK, the macronutrients. Some are needed in greater number and are called macros (meaning big), and many other nutes are needed in lesser number (micro, small).
Sounds like very good timing on those plants and a light to boot. HPS in particular is the light to use because you can use it all the way from veg to finish. Put a small fan on them to strengthen the stems. Just enough wind to jostle them a little, so later they won't fall over. You'll have to figure a way to keep the light kind of low when they're small and raise it as they grow.
Other ferts will work fine but DynaGro is a single kind of fert where pretty much everything plants need is in one container. Unfortuately, it doesn't have a very long shelf life. It might be good for about six months. If you can't find it, look for a fertilizer that is a chemical kind of fert, fast absorbing, and has as much of the 16 different nutes plants need for your money. Let me know what you get. You're having a deficiency there, so a small dose of a complete fert would help out. Follow the instructions on how to use it, usually located on the back of the container. Seaweed is fine but it's hormonal and small elements, and it's strong so don't use much of it.

hey polish
well i got the new plants , 3 ladys as far as i can see
6 weeks old no1 is a fine plants stunted high ,but looks good to me . the other plants came in the same pot
anyway at this late stage i can separate them ? i have a bug problem , small black fuckers and bigger flying bastards . iv combing the plants with a tweezers , and iv put in some flypaper . they where veged outside in pots .i plan on futting them into flower within the next week ? but also thinking LST for 2 weeks and tie the main stem down ? or will i put straight in to flower ?
with that in mind , i made a call to my local grow shop and picked up some " Terra Flores " for the final cycle .
with the 600w HPS i know imma have problems with heat so my next step is venting so im looking at a total rebuild of my diy tent . and haveing a small sheet of perspex between the light and the tallest plant , what do u think of this polish ?
btw , after u looking out for me like this , imma send u some Irish beer

Oy mate, me drinks Guiness!
Can't say much about your bugs but fuck the fuckers and bastards. Do what you can to get rid of them. There are bug sprays sold in grow shops but it's also toxic to people and I've even heard of a lady who died after too much contact, believe it or not. Try to get rid of them safely. If you have a dead animal in the area, flies will be attracted to the odor of decomposition, so check for a dead mouse or something if you have flies.
It looks like one thing to consider is to transplant into bigger pots. 5 gallon buckets (about 20 liters) do nicely for indoor grows and should be enough soil to last the duration. Check out potting soil at your grow shop and get something fairly standard. Get enough to fill larger containers, one bag might be enough, that is, if you want to transplant. I suspect it would be a good idea. I just Googled Terra Flores and see that it's Canna. I've never used it but it's made for soil use, hence the word "terra" and should be good. Just don't give too much. One difficulty with ferts like this is it's hard to tell how much to give. People follow nutrient schedules and some companies even put out schedules to follow, but you have to decided what to do. Better to under do it and let the plant tell you something is missing rather than over do it. If you've already given fert and you want to transplant, hold off on more fert after transplant until some time has passed before giving more fert.

ty for the valuable advice mt8 , i really cant beleave my luck , nice plants and a good light , right after i killed my girls .
the only bugs in my setup came from the plants , i think iv killed allbut im still looking very hard ,ill prob transplant saterday. when i have quite ,
temp of the setup is my biggest concern right now , it went from a steady 23cl to 29/31cl . i made a vent with some pvc flexi duct as close as i could to the lamp to vent some heat , the tower fan i angled toward the light , i think a 600w is to big for my setup , when im not there in useing my cfl/t5 tubes in total about 110w of flor, its the heat im worried about i need a proper tent .
anyway its still looking very good polish:jointsmile:

I'm a little late on this, but i use a 432 watt t5 and i keep it 3 inches from my plants. Also have a 200watt cfl that i keep and inch away. Whoever said to back them off 12 inches must not use them.
