Grim's first Grow !

[BukDatAss]

Congrats spoil that lady and imp: her out

[karmaxul]

She is looking lovely. About time she woke up and started stretching. See how the top leaves are not raised up in a V. She is still a bit damp. If you run her a bit dryer the smaller growth will green up and the top tips of the leaves will be the highest part of the plant. I would try and keep the very bottom of that pot dry at all times if you can or get a electric blanket under them. If the entire soil is wet, for the bottom to dry out will take up to two weeks. More then two days can lead to lowering of ph and yellowing of the plant. More oxygen will also help with more compact growth.

I've been trying to let all of the dry out very frequently, the only the problem is I've been getting signs of underwatering.

I'll see if I can't an electric blanket from wal-mart tonight and lay it down beneath them, thanks for the tip bro - I definitely appreciate it.

I'll also see if I can't put more holes in the bottom of the pots. (which is extremely hard to do with soil in them, but I can do it anyway. Viva Exacto Knife)

Will the blanket cause too much much heat? The room sometimes gets higher 80s. I guess they have a temp control though depending on what I get.

Hit me up!

Buk - Thanks bro, still using 5-1-1 - trying to get some more organics but having trouble finding a place open late enough besides wally world :/

I leave the electric blankets on low. You may not need them.

Ya those pots look like hard plastic. That stuff is tuff to cut through most definatly.

What are signs of under watering that you are getting. I have seen a couple of my plants wilt from lack of water which goes from health to death in say 12 hours, totally dry. But thats about it. Usually in normal conditions they can go up to 24 hours being bone dry.

Well droopy last night was BONE dry, I could put my hand halfway down the pot without pulling up any moisture, I guess I can start to wait for small signs of wilting? That doesn't sound all that healthy but it might give me a heads up.

As far as underwatering, one of my plants has and still is looking wilty all over the leaves even though I've been watering it everyday/every other day.

Poor girl. Want a pic of the garden? I'll shut the lights off real quick and snap a shot or two.

Another thing, is the bigger plant besides droopy hasn't had her leaves sticking directly out since I can remember and I'm wondering if this is from all of the circulation I have going on in there, I just like 'em perky.

[karmaxul]

No wilting is not healthy at all.

Ya I love pics.

A strong breeze can be neg. if to strong. It most likely is not getting perky leaves I would guess because the lack of oxygen has lead to lack of transpiration and shrunk the viens of the plant. Thats just a guess and I really dont know why. Shell come back.

Interesting.. getting some yellow/BROWN spots on the other plant at the very bottom. (there is still green, I'll take some pics) It looks like it's working it's way up but it's hard to say.

Pics to come later.. after I crash.

Btw. droopy had a perfect "V" when I brought her out of the dark period today.

Probably form misting the soil. Some of it may have hit the leaf and burned it. That is why I do not folair

[growing4dummys]

where have you been grim....no updates in a while

[The Grim Reefer]

No droopy in here, but everybody else is just catching some rays

A bit more yellowing on the bottom leaves than I'm used to, still only using Alaska (5-1-1) picking up some Maxicrop tomorrow.

Droopy is budding, though I think I MAY see a few bananas on her

Not too worried. May get some Dutchmaster Reverse tomorrow.

Questions? Comments?

The plants here are still in Veg, I'll be switching to flower in a week or two.
