Ok here goes. Fairly new to RIU been mostly just reading and asking a few questions here and there. I'll start with my grow room specs. 54X69X24". For lights I just have 4 13w CFL 2400K 2 23W 5600k 4' 4 bulb T12 (2 cool white X 2 grolux standards) and 1 100W HPS. Right now I'm 2 weeks into veg from sprout. Used the old paper towel method for germination then put into soil. My medium is straight MG potting soil time release ferts. BIG MISTAKE= lesson learned. Fans, I have 3 pc fans and one inline for exhaust. Works good now, had temp probs early on but they were addressed by adding the pc fans. possibly add a few more yet as I have pretty much an endless supply of that stuff around here. Maybe even a couple more of the hps street lamps. I have like 6 total. (Don't ask long story) lol Here are some pics of what I got going on at the moment. I haven't used any nute's yet just straight water. I brought them outside for one day 2 days ago and since have had this leaf curling problem. Dumbshit mistake I guess, it was a very nice day thought the sun would do them some good but apparently it hurt them more than anything? If someone would care to enlighten me on what might be going on I would be more than willing to listen. Also the tips on one are turning i bit brown.
yeah im on my first grow but ive been around plenty. im going soil. im pretty knowledgeable so if you have any questions feel free to ask. u can check out my grow in my sig, i just started flowering
Leafs still rolled up. Temp is fairly stable 77-81 tops. Which from I know is just fine, I have fans on them enough to vibrate them. I have noticed in last 48hrs stems have became significantyl thicker already. Not sure what's up with the leafs rolling up though? Anyone have any idea? I had a 100hps on them as well but unplugged it last night been 24hrs one plant seems to unrolled a little bit yet the other still looks completely the same. They looked as though they got a nute burn from the MG time release soil. Got my watering in check now I let it go completely dry, let leafs start to droop just a touch NOT too much though. Water till water comes out the bottom GENTLY just a few drops come out then I stop. Been giving them rain water as we been getting alot of rain lately. They won't be going outside again though. Seems this leaf thing happened once I did that and brought them back in? Killed of the 3 plant. Wasn't doing anything at all. Initial fir 2 round or sprouting leafs one set of bladed leafs and then it just stopped? Must've been a bad seed or genetics at any rate it's deceased now. lol I tried. Here's some pix of them as of tonight. Never measured them but they did seem to get a bit taller. Maybe 1/2" or so. Maybe more. Came home and the timer didn't shut things down for their 4 hr period? It was already 1 1/2 hr late so I just manually shut them off but started it back up as to keep the same sunrise because that is going to be a big factor once summer hits hot n heavy, less heat then the better otherwise it's be tropical in the closet like asian tropic, 180F shit, don't need that. Goin up to the cities to get some FF and a new light and other supplies this weekend, (extremely excited) to try and do this to the best of my ability. Found FFOF pretty cheap 8.95 1.5cu Ft. which is what I'm going to transplant them into. Maybe mix in a bit of MG ptting soil the stuff they in now to try and reduce shock but I want to be able to add GOOD FERT instead of their "precisely measured" stuff. *JOKE* It's alright soil but not really made for MJ cultivation. nuff rambling check it out tell me what ya think could be improved or what might be wrong. Keep it respectful though I'm doing the best I can with what I got at the moment. I'm learning, and trying.
i think your focus can be improved just playin man, i have 2 plants where the edges have always curled since the beginning.... out of 12 plants only 2 and they are all in the same conditions. only thing i can suggest is get an oscillating fan if you dont have one, its better to have on/off breeze than a constant wind. wanna mimic nature. soil sounds good, might i suggest 25% perlite mixed in for better drainage. looks pretty healthy from what i can see, i dont see any nute burn, that yellow in the middle is normally just new growth that hasnt gone through any photosynthesis. keep up the good work
Thinking I completely effed this one up guys. I just repotted my plants in 50/50 MG soil and Mg perlite and added 3 tablespoons of bone meal to the mixture right off the bat. I watered the mixture thoroughly and mixed it well. Ph'd the water to 7.0 but from what I read after doing so this is not a very bright move to add the bone meal right away.? Oops. lmao O'well it kinda sucks but if they fry like a hot summer Georgia day so be it, chalk it up as a lesson learned I guess. Btw transplanted them to 5 gal planters right away. Skipped the whole step up a bit at a time to SEE what really happens. I'm guessing if they survive the nutrient burn headed straight for them they will be fine since pot's been being farmed since before we even had "potting soil". We'll see what happens guys this might be something to pay attention to.Also, if anyone else has any experiments they want to run but don't want to test them on their "good" seeds hit me up on here, we'll experiment together. lol Worst that could happen is a total loss, no biggy. lol Just bag seed.
24 hrs after transplant to 5 gal pots now. They seem to taking well to it. Doesn't look like anything drastic has happened yet and plants are nice and green and healthy thus far. Leafs are still rolled up though? Kinda bugs me but idk what it could possibly be, maybe that's just how these gals roll. lol Strange though at any rate. Might have something to do with the PH level, got a kit yesterday for the transplant, ph'd the water and all that so maybe that will straighten them back out. Anyways here's some pics for ya guys and gals...
