Using leaf color, vigor, structure as a gauge. Comes with experience.

Not necessarily. Most times it's because the root system is the pits (small, unhealthy). If you don't have a robust root system, then you don't have a potential for proper water uptake which will be reflected by droopy leaves. That's one read down.....10 to go.

But I'm not sure about what nutes to add more of, or use less of. For example, if the leaves are curling like taco shells, it could be too much calcium or whatever, so use less calcium in my nute mixture.

Or, could be too much salts in solution. See my sig link. If you give your plants a well balanced food with all of the 16 essential elements, they will be fine. A one-in-all, value priced, high quality product is Dyna-Gro.

This is what I have a hard time understanding. I've looked on all blogs here but they all just say the same thing, learn to read what your plants need, or keep researching this site. If it's too hard to explain, it's cool I understand. But I really do appreciate the comments u have left so far. Thanks again.

Your welcome.

For such large pots, the plants look stunted. Color and structure look good.

What causes stunted growth? Was it because I had shitty lights to veg with, or maybe cuz I transplanted them from outside and inmediatley threw them into 12/12?( the new females)

I was looking at that Dyna-gro brand, it really is inexpensive. I'm almost out of nutes, I was wondering, can I buy the dyno-gro nutes and finish my plants with that? Or should I stick to the same nutes the entire grow? Also, if I do use the Dyno-gro, do I need any other nutes to mix with it, or is the dyno-gro(bloom) all I need? ( since now I'm in 12/12)

thanks, e-dog

Lack of N, improper lighting, watering, fertilizers....take your pick.

Salts are salts. You really need to do some homework regarding plant nutrition. Brand of nutes doesn't matter as long as they are of high quality and your plants are getting the 16 essential elements.

Take a look at the specs at the Dyna-Gro site.

Here is another picture update.

pic 1 = all plants
pic 2 =the bubblegum kush
pic 3 = the skunk
pic 4 = skunk close up
pic 5 = caramelicious
pic 6 = big unknown bag seed

pic 7 = big unknown (this plant grew taller than my light, so i topped it, now it looks like 4 main colas starting)

OK, so the skunk and bubble gum will be ready in about 1 or 2 weeks. I am checking with a pocket microscope daily to see what color the trichs are. I like to harvest when 50%-70% of the trichs are amber.

The other plants will be ready in about 3 weeks give or take. One Plant turned out to be a hermie, i saw a couple "balls" and pollon on the leaves. So I threw that transvestite out side. I hope it didn't screw my other plants up.
