hey there VV.

journal up and running. hope you will find it useful - although i am sure it will be mundane enough to be lost amongst the disasters and mega-yields.

First grow, NFT hydro - A.M.S and Lemon Skunk

i am sure you will laugh at our amateurish ways.

any help on our leaf problem is much appreciated. i don't know enough about this stuff, but with the other plant looking so healthy, and it is bigger, it couldn't be that it needs more nutes could it? i assume that i am wrong because different plants need different levels of nutes.

also, we are on a budget - which we have already over spent! - so expensive stuff like gadgets and equipment to meausre water temp accurately or ph levels accurately are probably not going to happen.

sorry.

thanks for your help already.

(i have attached the pics from the grow journal here for you as well. because i am nice like that.)

My first five plants spent a month in a field across the street!! I took them all to harvest, 4 of them ended up sativas, it was a joke.
Everyone is on some kind of budget and all of us have overspent, I have a garage full of overspent.
You and your friend are doing a good job without meters using NFT, that is not easy.
Your plant is telling you it no longer needs those leaves, cut them off. It will allow more light to reach those light green leaves that are below them and you will get a better yield. Again, good job. Thank for the picture, we like pictures. VV

cut the leaves? really? that goes against my natural instincts.....there is still a lot of green on them.....

i know you know your stuff, but that makes me nervous....

if it is nute burn of any kind, hopefully moving the roots will have helped.

is there no other way?

VictorVIcious · #**354** 06-12-2009, 12:11 PM

Sure, leave them on until the leaves below get just like those leaves. By then they will fall off on their own and soon the ones below will too. In nature the wind would knock them off, hello wind. VV

my mate agreed with you, so we got rid of them. there was only a couple anyway.

i will get pics and post them in the grow journal.

cheers.

tuffles · #**356** 06-16-2009, 03:34 AM

new details in the journal - no pics, as i havent seen them in a few days, so i am only reporting what i have been told.

but, how long does it take for them to actually start budding? we have had them on 12/12 for about 9 days now, and still no actual buds from either plant.

i am a bit worried.

Here is a completely stupid question, prob should have waited until I wasnt so stoned to ask, buttttt

An intake fan is simply a fan placed in a whole that is blowing air into the box/area from outside, and vise-versa for exhaust?

Make sure that you include air stones in your res to oxygenate the water. This will also improve growth as well. You may also want to add 35% hydrogen peroxide to the water before adding your nutrients & ph.

Yes you will only flood every 3 hours during the light cycle. Some growers flood 1 time during the night cycle as well. In Veg you can keep the same schedule or flood every 4 hours. Keep in mind that every plant is different as well. If you see the plants are getting over watered then lower the schedule.

With lighting for a 4 x 8 table I would do 2 600s, 3 600s or 2 1000 watt hps lamps. Do not attempt this grow with 1. Youll be wasting your time. To tell you the truth if your attempting sog then go straight from clone right into flower. You can veg for 7-10 days if need be but any longer youll have a jungle.

Take a look at the pic below. This grower has 161 pots in a 4 x 8 in 5x5 square pots. He uses 2 600 watt hps lamps on a light mover. The yield is 3lbs 10oz dry weight every harvest. There are some commercial strains that will average more. Imagine putting two 1000s on the 4x8 or having 2400 watts with two 4x8 tables. 1200 to each table. thats 7lbs per harvest.

adding hydrogen peroxide does what to help growth im asking because with the nuets im using it says do not use with hydrogen peroxide im just interested in what hydrogen peroxide does to help

Hydrogen Peroxide will kill algae etc. that may be in your tank along with any other living thing and as a side benefit it adds oxygen to the tank. Problem is if your using organic nutes, it kill a them too. VV

Sorry mate, the only stupid question is the one you didn't ask, that one will never get answered. You are right except we usually put them through holes not wholes.lol VV
