Yikes - I'm right on the edge of being busted!!!

[Land of Drought]

Kongo, i think its the water here, i get the same look of my plants too looks like Mg def as far as i can gather like i said above i test and ajust my water and feed my plants but still get the limeie green look off them i m using Bio Bizz light mix this grow and last and im noticing it again im starting to think ive no green fingers at all lol. ive been watching my temps very closly and humidity plus like i said good seed ajust water foods and still encounter that liming of the leaves at around 4 too 5 weeks so im working on the idea that our water is truly unhealthy out of the tap... im covering so many things that im running out of excuses as to why i get the same problem ech time even changing strain s dont help. i dont think its over watering as i always alow my plants to dry out before i water of course depending on the temps /pot size and so on ah learning all the time i just gets to be a pain in the ass when time after time no matter what i do i get to a stage then my plant s just go limie in colour,, with time i'll nail it. Aldo like you said if i had a nice spot outside id prefer to grow in a green house with fresh air and more room to work with. theres always issiue's..........
TAKE IT HANDY hEADS d

[kongo]

Yes mon I ear ya!LOL! u got the green fingers alright ya growin ya smoke,can't get greener than that haha!

It seems u ave the same probs I do aldo I ave a vent lettin fresh air in.When I started my second proper grow though I used volvic all the way cost me a fortune and I still ended up with chlorosis but my temps were'nt the best so who knows.

The learning kerb is a great one eh Rastas?

[Land of Drought]

I hear ya Man, ah sure its all good. Hopefully with time or at least by the time im old and grey i'll have it covered,,lol


take it Handy D

Hey Kongo, ya sure about chlorosis? I'm not completely sure but I thought chlorosis would kill the plant off pretty fast given that the condition involves the plant not being able to make any energy for itself. Try not eating for a few days and see how you get on

You mentioned using volvic and I just remembered something about a hike I was on a few weeks back, we had drank all the fresh water we had brought with us and when we got back to the car there was an old half full bottle of volvic in there, I started drinking it and then noticed some green algae stuff in it... not a nice sight just after glugging down some of it... Now what I wonder is if this expensive water could have a detrimental affect on your plants?

Another thing you could try is folar feeding the plants if you think they are not sucking up nutes from the soil.

Take it easy

No you can get chlorosis and the plant will continue to grow at slower rate.I tried all yuo have mentioned but all my ladies would eventually get it.Leaves would have brown spots which would spread throughout the leaves sometimes bad but not always.
I would just remove the affected areas.Had a bad experience with foliar feeding so don't know about that.If volvic is left lying around it does go off something to do with the plastic or omething.I always used mine immediatly on purchase.I think maybe the chlorosis was caused by stress had a few probs as I said so it coukd be as simple as that.

wow there amazing ... id bring in one plant indoors and finish it so if all else fails at least youve one gone to bud.

as for water and algae ... i dont know much about growing but i know everything possible about tropical fish haha and algae in the water isnt a bad sign, the worst it will do is bring down the oxegen levels in the water, and algae wont grow in bad water so its normally a good sign. If you left the algae too long or in the dark and it died then it would start rotting and cause nitrates which is bad for fish but from biology class many many years ago i remember plants love nitrates but duno about herb loving nitrates ud probably know best there.

so my next question .. whats your exact address and when will you be out at work haha :P fair play to you

[hicksey420]

Wow excellent plants! I wish I had that much luck my first grow. My probem I'm in a corn field (Once was tobacco), and the soil is sand. Literally all sand. Sucks but next year I'll bemore prepared.

Those are some really healthy happy looking plants dude. Hope they turn out.

[notech]

That's a nice grow that ya have there deadfrog. . . .

Excellent work bro. . . . :dance:

Hope ya see them to fruition,, and enjoy the rewards. . . .

Peace. . . . :thumbsup:

[deadfrog]

Hey thanks Hicksey and Notech

I'm incredibly curious to see how they do and I'll keep you lot updated.

The move caused a small amount of damage to some of the side branches as the plants had to be laid horizontal in the van. Their new position limits the light on one side as they have had to be pushed into some bushes to keep them hidden. Also it's kinda damp due to the area being overgrown and near a river. On the plus side I may have the opportunity to move a couple of them into a greenhouse around flowering time and at least by then I'll have separated the girls from the boys.

Take it easy.

How'd Frog

Good to hear the move went ok as for the damage im sure they'l pick back up the green house may be vey handy given the way the weather is already starting to turn. The days, aldo i havnt measured them are getting shorter dig time now so flowering wont be long.

Best of Luck, Drought
