was a 1/4 mix.would rather under do it than poison the poor things!easier to fix, im figuring, if too little.
And just to prove what a novice I am...just had a look at the spec foor the light and the it's HPS! Knew ithad sodium in there somewhere lol.
So what's to do with the V thing.It's not that bad so guessing it won't be too diff to correct.Wieird how it's only the 2 w/deisel and not the w/rhinos. guessing they use nutes at different rates?or have i again proved ima novice??!!!lol

no dude most novices would give em extra nutes to start them off lol. Less is most definatly more. rep+ for you

they will grow fine without nutes. no nutes in nature. just stick with water for now i think that nute might be a bit strong of nitrogen actualy with the worm castings ( also has n) watch the wet/dry cycles for water. let it dry a couple inches into the dirt almost to the point of wilt. incorect watering will mess with the nute uptake and may cause lock out

do you know what the ph of the run off is. compost and peat enriched soilstend to get acidic

Cool.cheers u guys! nice encouragement too (now I just need to wipe the brown off my nose!)

Today was the 1st bit of food I gave em and i'm at day 24. Haven't been watering much either to be honest as have read b4 bout the top 2 inches being dry 1st.
Killed my 1st attemptat the end of last year and I think it was cos idid the newbie thing and thought "oh i know..give em loadsa nutes and they'll grow super quick!".
What a dick!! lol learnt very quick from that!

Oh.also i let the water sit for a couple of days aswell.
So as far as the small v-shape thing....just water and see how they go?cos the other 6 look beautiful.

run off ph is around 6.9 - 7. have cana ph up AND down cos have read it's a bit important altho.ugh the water round my way is neutral

mr west · #18 06-23-2008, 08:32 AM

nice, i burnt the fuck out of my frist crop with over nuting lol. Its all a learning curve, some steaper then others lol.

bonz · #19 06-23-2008, 08:33 AM

if you can dig down half way into the soil and take a bit out, put it in some water ,mix it around a bit,strain the dirt out of the water and test the ph of that. ya just water se if it comes around in a few days

Dixie78 · #20 06-23-2008, 08:37 AM

well the last learning curve wasn't steep.
It was fucking vertical!!!!!lol
sweet. cheers bonz...will try that. I have been testing the water out the bottom of the pot after watering but guess this checks the soil ph too?
