Virgin growers 13 days into flowering, please help

Im no hydro pro, but that looks like a combination of overwatering, ph, and heat stress. I'd bet PH is your biggest culprit - since you say he didn't change the water/nutes for a few weeks I'm sure the pH was off for 90% of that time. Hydro takes daily, sometimes multiple daily adjustments to keep ph in line. Flush the system with fresh phed water and see how they respond

Tokudai Reviewed by Tokudai on 02-28-2007. Virgin growers 13 days into flowering, please help I have never seen such a helpful site with so many people looking to lend a hand to one another. What a cool place. This is my first post ever and a buddy and I could really use some help. We are hoping to be welcome here and any comments, advice, or suggestions anyone has would be greatly appreciated. Many years ago I threw some commercial seeds in the ground next to my house and actually took about 10 females to harvest. The end result was not even worth smoking but I know now that was due Rating: 5

Put that 400 MH on as well as the 250 HPS. Watch your heat though...I find they dont always grow 2-3X but It almost does always x2. LST them...try a water cure. You will lose some flavor and smell but you will not lose any THC. The result is a higher THCg:Budflowerg ratio. Really smooth as well....and the best part is it only takes 7 days to do and you can run nutes strong W/O flushing all that much.

You lose more weight when you sure this way but that just results in THC leiden buds that dont smell much but do the trick.

Thank you both for your replies. We already lost 1/2 of our 1st grow and I'd hate for the whole thing to have been for naught. I have already relayed your comments to my friend and we're ready to do whatever it takes to rescue our girls. Do you think that if they in fact have been overwatered that we should shut off the pumps that flow into the rockwool for a few days? And with the 6 inch nets in the 20 gallon tubs, how high should we be trying to constantly keep the water level? I read once that water should be kept an inch higher than the bottom of the nets. Is this way off? And we would be using the 400 watt bulb but we do not have another housing for the bulb. The light kit we have came with a 400 metal halide and a 250 sodium but only one light housing and socket. We have been at 12/12 for about 30 days so do you think with a Mazar strand we are 1/2 way to harvest? There has been many mistakes thus far so I'm assuming we have further slowed things down and that it may take 60 days plus of flower to be ready. Is this far off too? Damnit I wish they were at my house so I could care for them Anyways thanks again for your advice

Don't think it matters much but we don't have a 250w sodium it's a 400
