Again another Light Question.

[Bree1978]

Hey thanks for the responses! If I'd have known, I'd replied quicker. To answer q's. My ph wasn't incredibly off...and it does settle, but it is always waiting like weedhound mentioned. In the above pic if you look at the bottom of the jug, you can see that the is orange 'settled'. I have a water softner, but the water shown in the pic is from my outside spigout (sp?), directly from well. My softner just adds salt, so I don't use that water. Do you have to use cal-mag supplements with R/O water? What about ph'd spring water?

Now, to tell you why I am now using gloves to touch my plants.....grr.....there was some BIG BRIGHT RED WASP/ANT in there! That sucker looked like it could have killed me! It's stinger was as big as it's butt! I am in the north, so I don't know how the heck I got this thing in there...probably from the soil?????? I'm terrified, as you can tell. I wish that I got a pic of it....I still have the heebeegeebee's....

Well since I made you all look, I'll share some photos of 35 days. Or is it 36? I accicentally super cropped Cee-cee from my string being too tight. I repotted Isabella, she's in the white container (remember she is three weeks older than the others). Ava looks all weird and twisted, but you can't tell in the pic. I think it is caused by the heat. Bea looks GREAT! Excuse the orange looking shower, we've discussed why it looks that way, lol. Enjoy the photos, and if anyone knows what that ant looking thing was, let me know. I did a search, and all I found was the cow killer wasp...but this creature I saw was not hairy so I don't if that was it or not. Happy tokin!

Must be quite the wasp to take down a cow!! Yes, you do need a supplement for RO water--I'm not sure if there are things you can use instead (ie: epsom salts etc) but might be worth asking. I hate to say this but I asked somebody that same question about using spring water and was told not to but I was stoned at the time and I don't remember why. Sorry!

PS Your plants look great!!

Thanks Weedhound! I really appreciate the compliment! I think that bug was from my christmas tree actually...haven't seen another one since I wrote about it, thank goodness. Today is day 38....You're gonna all laugh, I've accidentally super cropped all of my plants, from tying them too tight....I know, I know, you ask "how can it be an accident three times????" My answer simply put "I'm the most clumsy person to ever walk the earth....then magnify that personality trait by being stoned and/or inebriated...." I'm going to have to take a course in knot tying....or in the least make sure I am completely sober while fiddling with my plants! on to the update: I think I found a hair on Ava....I am going to flower within the next few days because these puppies are getting way to large for this area! On a sad note, I won't have many bud porn pics to post...I won't go in to detail why...but I'll get back as much as possible. Enjoy the photos...they may be the last ones before these gals/guys become grownups! BTW- I purposefully stretched them so I could shoot some of my cfl light under the canopy, instead of tying down and snapping again grrr...I still think they look terrific! The pic of the single plant is Ava, the one I think may be a girl. Happy DAYS!!!

[Weedhound]

They do look great. If you think they are large now wait until you put them into flower......they'll go nuts! (no pun intended)

[Bree1978]

Well here is an update....I just put Cee-cee and Isabella into flowering today. I really wanted to do it sooner, but with the holidays, it was impossible to do so. Ava reveled to be really Arsen and Bea was Benedict, so they've been drying in a sack for about a week. It was so obvious that they were males, can't believe I thought Arsen to be female. Both Isabella and Cee-cee are having slight probs with mg and calcium (I think, I have to research in a little bit)...I think it's those since I began to use RO water as instructed...I fed as well and I thought that since Miracle Grow All purpose has trace elements it would be okay without supplements, I figure I wasn't using enough (?) don't know, in the midst of solving that problem.....Enjoy the pics of the two ladies and bid adieu, for they are now in flowering...also included, pic of the next generation that has been basically ignored the first three days of life, hence thier sad appearance...Happy Tokin on hump day.

After a quick look see, I have N, P(only on one leaf), and Mg def.'s....wasn't feeding them enough for fear of burning them, lol! Should be easy to fix, have a great day again!
