Anyone know why this one looks all droopy? Only this one is experiencing it. The soil in all 4 pots looked real dry when I got home today, so I watered all until some water dripped out of the bottom. The last time I fed them was 4 days ago, so I guess it was time again. The new top leaves growing in also look brittle and dry, as you can see....

Probably just being paranoid. Gonna wait it out lol....

On another note, one happy family... :D

so far what ive got as a newb growing in mg... get the moisture control potting mix. put that bitch under some 5k sp3cs with some water (no matter seed) some will pop, some will not at all or for a long ass time(i tested this by dumping in same spot on surrounding house foliage . . some pop but it might take weeks...) put them in a cup of water, to grow a tail first, then dump them in about a half inch of dirt, if you put more, a healthy seed will still pop it will just take longer... when they pop only water them like twice a week if you have a 300 actual watt or less grow set up. if more, daily will be better or every other day, just make sure its bone dry first, LEARN to IGNORE it. New growers go crazy over yellow leaves, shits natural... let it happen. if its visually dying yes do something but unless that shit is detrimental don't fuck with it. Let it be, from my minor experiences people over exadurate shit like crazy and end up doing more harm than good in the long run. let it run with pure distilled like i did till the fan leaves yellow like crazy on the end. The N/P/K is fucked at this point, get a fert that is high in the second nute. the moisture contol comes with...blah blah blah but is low in P get the MG bloom booster if your in a hot spot with no real grow nutes like i am, it comes high in P2O5hosphorus oxide the second number, delute that shit and do it on your next watering by then with mg you should be about week 3 or 4. 15=30=15 good luck

now you're getting it... Look up time lapse videos of plants growing, it will take that feeling to a whole new level. These aren't just automatons, they are alive! I always get this feeling that they would take over the world if they could only move faster. Some plants are that aggressive...

I'm just getting in to read, but that's what I was going to say, give her an hour or so after the watering then peep again.:mrgreen:
The heat outside yesterday FUCKED my radishes I got going, and I threw them in the sink around 11 last night, and within 20 minutes, they were all perky again.

I decided to experiment with LST on one of my bigger ones. Got her tied down with hemp rope and exposing 3 nice nodes on the side.

Most of growing is waiting and watching for pests and such. It's kind of a boring hobby besides the herb lol.

Besides that, about Boston..
All I could think of today is that quote from Alfred.... "Some men just want to watch the world burn..."
I think I know now thats true.


Plants are looking good Haleo.

Marathons don't interest me unless they're drinking or video game.
I don't run.
I did enough of that when I was young.:wink:
Your stuff looking good, and I like your light positioning.......
If I remember, I'll take a pic of mine on Sat on "Picture day".
Your setup reminds me of mine, right down to the folds in the Mylar emergency blanket.:clap:

LOL no I was talking about the terrorist bombings that just happened here in Boston. Did you hear about them? Crazy stuff!

About the folded mylar, how do you get it completely flat? I bought it and it was all folded in a little package.

That's how I knew you got the exact same Coleman Emergency Blanket like I did.
IDK how to get completely flat, unless you use spray adhesive on your walls, and apply the mylar with a squeegee..
I wouldn't worry about it, like I say, if I remember, Sat. I will take a pic of my closet, and you will laugh at the similarities.

Wow, that sounds like a good idea actually. Thanks!

Is it weird that I have to water like every 3 days? I do have constant air blowing lightly on the plants and the heat is around 78-81 degrees, which I know are two things that contribute to drying up the soil, but it just seems that I am watering every 2-3 days or so. The soil gets dry real quick!

My larger pot, I am watering every three days usually and the 1 gal. usually every other day, except for the last 4 days I have been putting outside from noonish to 6, and it's been cutting a day or more off of both, so watering the 1 gal. every day,
but they are liking it, and growing at least 1/4-1/2" vertically per day.
