There are a couple that have 2 or 3 small yellow spots on them, I dont know if its something I am doing wrong or something having to do with the transplant. Either way I dont see it being a big problem, hope to have some nice big SLH, Pineapple Express and AK47 buds soon. Oh and BTW if the soil looks dry at the top its because it is, today after I watered I noticed that the soil had settled a inch or two so I threw a couple handfuls on the tops of all the plants. Just didnt want anyone thinking it was dry all the way down.

The first 9 plants are under 1 1000w HPS, the second 9 are under 4 60w t5s (I believe) and 4 26w CFLs (4 under 1 CFL a piece and 5 under the 4 T5s)

I watered the plants today adding nutes as it is day 3 in the 2/1 water/nutes cycle. All the plants are doing ok and most of them are doing really well. I am having problems with the two in the 5 gallon pots. One has leaves ranging from dark green to yellow and the other had some leaves that were curling down and a couple that looked kind of like they were crumpling. I mentioned this in another post and one of the replies said that it was probably either over or under watering. Since I follow the same water ratio for all my plants, in fact in every plant I have ever grown, I really didnt think it was overwatering. So when I watered today at about 3 am, instead of using 3/4 of a gallon as I usually do for the ones in the 5 gallon pots, I gave them both a gallon and a half. Now it seems that both plants look a little better leading me to assume that I was probably right. I gave the 7 in the hydro box 3/4 of a gallon, all of them are looking very nice. ]]> Fiber http://www.rollitup.org/blogs/blog18124-journal-entry-3-my-grow.html Journal Entry 2 - My Grow - 11/20/11 http://www.rollitup.org/blogs/blog18113-journal-entry-2-my-grow.html Mon, 21 Nov 2011 05:09:32 GMT Plants are using a 1000w HPS set on 18/6.

Only one seems to be showing some lasting changes since the plants were transplanted into larger pots. It seems to be drooping slightly and the while most of the leaves are very dark others range from very dark to light green to almost yellow (though there arent many of those, they are there). I gave the plants a half gallon of water to the ones in 2 gallon pots and 4/5 of a gallon for the 2 in the 5 gallon pots. I add nutes to the water every 3 waterings. The last time I gave nutes was 3 waters ago so I gave only water today and will add nutes to tomorrows water.

Of the clones in the easy seed starter 17 of 20 have roots on day 8, the other still look pretty good. Of the seedlings in the easy seed starter 6 of 18 have started to poke through the soil on day 8. Of the clones in the bubble cloner all have rooted, some have more roots than others on day 12. Of 16 clones, 8 each in one of two clear plastic containers with soil inside, 15 have rooted and the other 3 still look well. When I have 32 good clones they will be going into a 32 site aeroponics unit utilizing a 1000w HPS first at 24/0 then 18/6 for vegging and then 12/12 for flowering.

BTW its been about 5 days since I transplanted them.

The one that is drooping is the tallest one of the two that are in five gallon pots.

And so I dont have to post this info later I am using a 1000w HPS light on the ones in the soil and 8 26w CFLs on the ones in water as well as 3 26w CFLs over my clones and 3 26w over my seedlings and I have been alternating one day under the HPS and one day under the CFLs to see what effects if any it may have.

Sorry the pics are great on the quality scale, I took them with a Droid 2 at 5MP which I figured would be halfway decent but they turned out kinda shitty. Please give constructive criticism.

Most of them are doing awesome and look like they have grown within the few hours since I transplanted them. One however has me worried. A few hours after the first watering since they were transplanted I checked the soil and it seemed kind of dry so I added a little water to each plant (maybe a cup and a half to two cups per plant). I came back to check on the plants thirty minutes later and one of them was bending over basically in kind of an upside down capital L shape. The plants have been doing extremely well and the stalks are very thick. The bend is not a bend like someone accidentally bent it and it left a crease. The plant is still very stable and I can bend it back straight and it will slowly bend back down. What could be causing this and what should I do.

BTW I have 10 plants that are currently in 2 gallon pots under a 1000 w HPS which is about 30 inches from the plants (to far or to close?) and am using advanced nutrients sensi-grow (during vegitation, will be using sensi-bloom during flowering) every 3 waterings at half strength (or about 1.75 - 2 ml per liter) My phone is my camera and it is charging now but if it is still leaning when it finishes I will post a pic or 2, but hopefully it is just shock and it will come back quickly.

Also if anyone has any ideas on how to better regulate my temperature inside the room I would greatly appreciate it. The grow room stays about 10 - 12 degrees hotter than the rest of the house which means that to cool it down I have to turn on the central air which also cools the rest of the house down an additional 10 degrees and while its perfect in the grow room its kinda chilly in the rest of the house. I have four fans going, a big fan blowing from a top corner of the room, 2 oscillating fans on either side of the plants and a normal fan blowing around the lower parts to refresh the air around the stems.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated - MORE INFO IN MY JOURNAL

The first 9 plants are under 1 1000w HPS, the second 9 are under 4 60w t5s (I believe) and 4 26w CFLs (4 under 1 CFL a piece and 5 under the 4 T5s)

Also have a side room where I keep clones in the future will keep the mothers I get out of the ones I am growing now. I have 20 clones that have rooted from an unknown strain in a easy seed grower tray and 2 trays of 36 clones (taken 4 days ago) each in one of those easy seed starter kits with rock-wool cubes used in place of the jiffy pots. All the trays have a clear plastic hood. The ones that have rooted I water them a small amount and the ones that have not I just make sure to keep plenty of moisture in it by spraying the hood with a spray bottle. Each tray of clones has a 26w CFL hung a couple inches from the hoods. Once I get 36 clones from the super lemon haze plants, I will veg them for a bit and stick them in a 36 site aeroponics box that a friend and I assembled. For the other clones from the unknown strain, half will be grown in soil or a soiless mix and the other half will be grown in a DWC system I also built myself. Four of the seven from the unknown strain have been growing in one of the DWC boxes I made. It is on the outer edge of the plants under the HPS but also has a 26w CFL over it to make sure it gets enough light. The plants are about a month old and they are a good 12 inches or more each and very bushy. I topped them 2 days ago and 2 new tops have branched out since then.

After taking measurements, the 1000w light is actually about 36 - 40 inches from the top of the tallest plant of the bunch whereas the t5 and CFLs are about 3 inches from the tops of the plants/hoods. I am not sure if the HPS is to far from the plants because they have been doing very well but when I start to lower the light it does not seem to get the plants on the outer edges quite as well as I think it should (although admittedly I am an amateur).
