WK 4 FLOWER!!! your valuable opinions please!!!

[antwanio126]

Hi there guys, i've mannaged so far with building, growing and flowering my first really succesfull grow thanks to all you guys so i'd like to start by saying thanks for all the knowledge and support you guys offer!!

My plant is in a cabinet 2' by 3' grow space with additional room for a 250w hps and 5 100w equivalent cfl's. 2 fans in there, one for atmoshphere cooling and one for cooling the hps, bloody things get hot!!!!

i was being impatient as i wanted to see if this grow would work in this small space, and flowered after only 4 weeks veg (about 6 nodes) so i know the yeild wont be great this time but plane to SGROG some big bud x northern lights seeds which i'm getting next week.

the plant has been on 12/12 for 4 weeks now and has about 8 pair of budsites, the main cola and 4 branches which i'm trying to lst into the light to get a descent bud off them.

I'm a little concerned about the lower fan leaves yellowing and the small bud it has, i fed the plant a solution of NPK 10-5-2 during veg and gradually went onto NPK 3-10-10 for flower. I have applied Epsom Salts and a high N solution with no luck so maybe the plant is jus using its nutrients from the leaves as part of its natural flowering process??? also am i being impatient with the bud? will it fatten up as it geas through the last few weeks?

Sorry about the fucking essay, i'm jus trying to give you all the info i can! HELP!!!!

also sorry about crappy pics!!!!

so what soil you using? driveway dirt or high grade compost? when you put them in, do those leaves get light? you may have to flush your soil as there might be a nute build up, so many things could do this its hard to know where to start.
to take a better pic, there should be a flower button on your camera, press it until the flower comes up on screen, (it should then go away) this is called macro, now, move the camera closer or further away to get the sharpest picture on screen u can get, instead of getting closer use the zoom, the focus will stay the same, but it will get closer, holding still and pressing the button correctly also helps, good luck on taking some better pics
lastly, where abouts in the uk you from? im from poole (near bournemouth) and was jw how dry u got it there? its not bad at all here, just outta curiosity, just answer those questions and it should be easier to find out whats wrong, - peace n happy growin'...

thanks for the reply abbitoir.

i'm using bag compost which i know isn't the best!!!

the leaves are getting pleanty of light as i have hung the cfl's low round the sides of the plant to engourage lower bud growth.

i'm from leicester. humidity in my grow room isn't monitored.... i know.... dont shoot me!!! just cant afford a humidity gauge.

any ideas on the small buds? the pics are from my phone so they are the best i can get at the mo... sorry!

[antwanio126]

my friend has just ome round with his camera so here are some better pics....

the spots on the leaves are dust, not real weed acne!!!:smokin:

[antwanio126]

do people think i should flush then?

will those buds get fatter and longer with time?

any help much appreciated, thanks guys.

The pics are a bit blurry, but the only reasonable explination other than soil pH or what ever is that it's just suffering from low Nitrogen.

And if the pH of the soil isnt correct or your experiencing problems when everything seems right then I would flush.

lol i never bother with humidity, as long as you dont go bringing in alot of water and boiling it up in the room or anything, youll be fine, most rooms are dry enough, its larger scale grows that really get humid as orangeman said its probably low nitrogen, try going back to the first nutes you were using, and if it helps, use it for the rest of its life, also just wondering, you got much perlite in there? personally ive never had this problem, any leaves that went yellow for me went yellow in patches, so i think this is a case of low nutes, like i say, try using the old nutes, that might do the trick, peace and good luck. - expect me back sometime soon - i like this thread

[antwanio126]

i like the advise you have given me too so your always welcome. i'm gonna flush her today as those leaves have gone all floppy and havent got long left if i dont do something!!! then i'll revert to the old nutes.

anyone got any advise on the buds yet? are they gonna get bigger, better and juicier as the weeks go by? maybee i'm just being paranoid... too much weed or something lol. anyway advise always welcome!!! thanks guys.

[antwanio126]

as for pearlite i haven't got any in.... i didn't know much when i started growing this plant so i know now for next time!!! lol.

[antwanio126]

jus a quicky, i know you will al say 'its impossible to predict' but looking at my setup and size of plant do you think i will get a decent yeild (i.e.) enough for me!!! for a few weeks??? again, i know its not easy to say... jus wondered.
