in the very early veg/ seedling stage... day 11 i think
ffof soil
indoors 400w hps (started under some little aquarium floro's)
recently transported into 3 gallon pots
havent really needed to water them since the transplant and initial watering, the soil is a bit dry for the top 1/4" but damp underneath
i noticed that the plants seemed a bit dry bcuz my RH was pretty low, just got a humidifier in the room to try and bring it up.

anyways. since i am using FFOF i have been using only neutralized tap water, and will for a lil while longer. Im also using a little liquid karma (@25%) in a spray bottle that i mist them with 2-3 times a day.

most of the plants seem to be a little burnt on the tips and some edges, very small amount of yellowing but i just want to fix it b4 it gets worse you know. If this is normal than im going to feel like an idiot i really dont think i can be burning them out yet so i really dont know what its related to, this is one reason i got the humidifier and i havent seen much improvement over the last 24 hrs.

if any1 can help I'd appreciate it. sorry if this is a dumb question

Growing them indoors.

Water them when needed, when soil becomes excessively dry at the top.

Growing them in some Miracle Gro Organic Choice potting mix.

No idea what stages they are at this point...


At one point in time, I was growing all my plants in a cardboard box with 2 compact fluorescent (6500K spectrum) lamps (they're desklamps, but it's what I had, and the spectrum was right on em, and they were free). I had them on a 16-8 light cycle for vegetative growth and used a solution of plant food in a squirt bottle as well as distilled water.

I had started my plants in starter trays with seeding soil in them. They grew very slowly. 4 sprouts, I put in a window box with organic garden soil. 2 sprouts I put in individual plastic pots with the organic choice potting mix. They 4 in the window box grew very, VERY slowly. The 2 in the pots, grew much, much faster and larger by far.

2 plants in the window box ended up becoming male and putting out pollen, even though they were only 3 or 4 inches tall and not bushy in any way. I killed those two off. One of the obvious females I put in her own grey pot. The other female is still in the window box.

I transplanted one of the separate, bigger plants into a bigger pot, and it instantly came back to life after starting to wither. The other separated one is all curled up and pretty much dead (I prolly can't save it I guess).

Now....the female in the big grey pot is growing more steadily now that I transplanted it. The bigger plant in the green pot is now starting to wither in the same manner as the other separated one.

The two in the larger pots, I have moved out of the box and put them right inside a window because a guy who used to grow the stuff told me that the plants might just need a little natural sunlight.

I am completely amateur at this and I don't have the money (at the current moment) to spend on anything really fancy.

What the hell is going on? Am I overwatering them? Underwatering them? Too much light? Too little light? Too much nutrient?

Can anyone help me...

Check this out.... very helpful. Guide for diagnosing plant problems

Hello! I have a question regarding ph. I have plants in 5gl buckets (clones been rooting for 2.5 weeks now) all seems ok just slow growing. My problem is that my ph level seems to be stuck at 7.0. The soil consists of 30% sandy loam topsoil--30% forest humas---40% perlite.I assume the humas is keeping it at 7.0. any suggestions on how i can get this to 6.5? i cant flush (15) 5gl buckets, its too much , lol. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

1 week in and my baby cant stay up for herself, it just falls to side if its not supported with something. its under 85 w cfl about an inch and a half away. any ideas

2nd week of clones..wondering what this bright yellow is on the younger leaves ...my thought is Calcium/Iron/Sulfur/Zinc...the Ph of water is a bit high at 7.4...Also the water has quite a bit of calcium in it..

400Watts Floro
24hr
temp 78
humidity 30-40%
soil is potting mix of high quality

do not use any food

strain: Durban

Thanks

Starting a new thread will probly get you a faster better response IMO. Im having the same probs, my plants have all turned bright green and Ive been feeding them good nuets, Im thinking its got to be the PH level.Mine is only at 7.0-7.2 and im seeming lockout. might be the strain Granddaddy purps. I dont know but im topdressing with peatmoss to lower PH and adding a bit of bloodmeal as well for nitrogen boost, we'll see what happens. bloodmeal at 1 tsp per 4ins of containers diameter. Not sure this has been much help but I do wish you luck.

hey guys im new to all this, just on week 5 of my first attempt... i say attempt as im not expecting a great harvest first time through lol
ive tried reading and reading and re-reading the forums but i get mixed answers to my problem, im currently using a 125w envirolite and reflector with wilkinsons soil... i have an unknown indica strain i got in amongst sum green i bought a while back and i have a "purple haze female" or so my mate says but its definatly sativa in origin...
my problem is that after 5 weeks the leaf tips are going yellow, brown and slightly black, mostly all over the indica plant and it has red hairs on leaf stems and purple veins on main stalk (please bare with me i cant remember the proper names)
also on the "haze" i have red hairs appearing on leaf stems tho they were lovely green when i got plant (at week 3-4 of veg) plus a few yellow spots appearing on 2 leaves and one leaf has a yellow curled tip and im worried i might have bolloxed them up... basically i would like to know where im goin wrong before i lose my mind (and possibly my first free smoke lol) and if ne1 with alot of experience could help diagnose id be forever greatful...

i keep them both in my boiler room so temp is usually around 26*c - 30*c and humidity is quite low i would think, the soil dries out quickly so i water alittle everyday or 2 to try keep it from drying out.. i have recently started using liqiud tomato feed at the recommended dosage (at 3/4 day intervals) and think it may be simple nute burn, ive flushed both of them an hour ago just incase ( tho evry forum i checked say diff reasons: e.g. mg def, k def, p def, and so on and so on) but would prefer an experts opinion

please dont hate me i have tried reading for past week to sort out problem on my own but i now have to hold my hands up and say fuck it i cant figure out which problem i have...
thanks in advance to ne1 who has time to help me out

not too sure myself m8 so dont take it as gospel but i should get a small battery powered fan and try to give it a lil breeze to mimick the wind.. think plants only use energy to strengthen stalks if they have to.. failing that im not sure but if u using nutes alreay stop as first time i tried years ago with bio-grow they grew like beansprouts for a week got quite tall and thin and then fell over and died, again im no expert but worth a shot... take it easy

I have 2 white widow max plants that look completely different. The leaves look exact, but the growth is different. Is this normal? One, (pic1) dark green, showing beginning stages of flowering. The other (pic 2), light lime green, not as many flowers, not as much foliage. they're both 13 days into flower. I've been feeding them FF Tiger Bloom in conjunction with FF Grow Big. Results are great. I am very embarrassed about this but, I don't have a ph tester which I will buy one Thursday when I get paid. Maybe the second one is experiencing nute lockout? Then look at this 3rd pic, has anyone seen this color? The photo is less than great but in person the leaves are almost black. Kinda wierd?? (FI Strain) Anyone take a crack at this?? Thanks!
Ohh also I'm in 3 gallon containers, since I'm flowering would it stress my plants to repot them into 5 gallon containers? I feel it would but, what do I know?
Photos......
