Holy crap those things look awesome! Still waiting for the light? Can't wait to see them start flowering. Good luck.

Got the light today my dude, came with a hps bulb, and a mh bulb .Unfortunately the mh bulb was broke, but fortunately the bulb I need for flowering is the hps so I switched them to flower today. I am very excited, but a little concerned with the heat I will keep an eye on it and see if it is an issue. Thanks for staying tuned, will post pics of the new room and light later today.

Sweet deal. Funny how fate is that the hps didn't break. I wish i could help with the possible deficiency. But my experience is limited. I would say don't be too worried unless it spreads. Good luck

Everything is going good, things got a little hectic yesterday. I ordered a hps/mh light system online and it came in the mail, as I said the mh bulb was broke, then the next day I come home and the HPS is blown! So i bought a new HPS bulb and it would not work apparently the ballast that was only 24 hours old blew on me, and basically the moral of the story is be very wary when buying things online if it seems like too good of a deal it probably is you get what you pay for i guess. So I had to go to my local hydro store and buy a brand new 200$ magnetic ballast, I'm so pissed about this 200$ just for a ballast?! Ridiculous, but whatever gotta keep these girls going invested too much money to quit or cheap out now. Day 2 into flower I have been adding some epsom salt for what I think is a magnesium def, also adding a little 3% hydrogen to the water to give the roots a little more oxygen, some liquid karma and pro bloom, and last a very minute amount of dawn dish soap to get rid of these wretched pests, nothing serious but I have spotted a few and I'm tackling the issue now before it gets out of control. Thanks for the people giving their insight and rooting for me, I'm doing my best and it seems to be working pretty good. Thank you.

The first plant is a monster, straight up it has over 12 tops with my luck it will turn male, I really hope not cause i know it will yield alot plus I wouldn't mind cloning it, it's a very hardy plant. The rest of them are all doing perfect besides a slight magnesium def nothing serious,they look a little droopy cause I just watered them.I really have a lot of hope for these plants I have a feeling I will have 80% females. Everyone keep your fingers crossed for me. Tonight will be day 3 of flower

[billydakid6812]

So I am starting to have quite a few problems and really need help here, I post in the forums but no one has the decency to help someone in need.I may just be over reacting but it's always nice to know whats going on. I am 4 days into flower and all my new growth on all plants is very light green some spots even yellow, ik this is a sign of a nitrogen def but I was told large amounts of nitrogen hold back flowering.Im now using botanicare pro bloom which does have 1 part nitrogen, I recently added epsom salt and very minute amounts of dawn dish soap cause it looked to be pest problems not positive but better safe than sorry also added very small amounts of hydrogen to my water. 1 plant has serious def issues the leaf is turning gold color and folding upwards and drying out at first it was at the bottom but it is now spreading.Im checking ph right now looks to be about 6.4 so i doubt it's a ph issue.Idk what to do I have heard it is sometimes normal for plants to start eating fan leaves when put into flower but this problem has been happening since before flower,the one plant seriously looks like it has a gold leaf. Did I do something or is there some sort of def i cant pin point. Please any advice is welcome

Hey Billy.

I am having trouble opening the photos so I can see the problem better.

The first thing I would say is to check your PH and see if any nutes are being locked out.

Once you get the PH correct you should be able to solve your issue by looking on google for a "plant problems pest disease control chart".

Hope this helps.
