seriously ?? im only prob gona make 1.25ltr bottles of food anyway, when i added them last night i wud just below half of the bottle between both pots. I checked em this morning with a moisture reader n both stay around 6 and ph is still jus over 7. Am i right in thinking i Can expect the ph to change the more food that is added. ??

Right i now have 3 plants with me. The extra 1 is one of the 2 that wernt so good. I decided to give the other 1 to my brother in-law. Also i am now using my MH instead of the dual spectrum bulb.

Will put a few pics up soon.

And i dont need to be told it looks shit i already know. What i dont know its whats wrong.

Noticed a bit off leaf fringe curling bro. What are your temps and humidity like? You have a fan in there?

temp is say 27-31c thats day or night, Not sure on humidity so I just keep refiling a bowl of water to try release moisture. It evaporates very quickly so i assumed its doing the job or its to hot. I have had a fan in there from day 1 but to be honest it makes no difference. Im in that room for 5mins and i come out sweating like a mug lol.

I have been giving this situation more thought over the recent days, and is thinking more towards buying a 1.2 x 1.2 x 2 grow tent and sticking it in my loft. There's plenty of fresh air and also good circulation. Only thing that worries me is spidermites.

Oh and i think i fucked up on the topping.
It's cool. Topping is forgiving. The only way you can really fuck up topping is by topping too much. Then you get tiny buds.
But anyways, 31 is a little too hot but do-able, but only barely. If it get's to 33*c you might get stunted growth and flowering, meaning your plowering times will be longer than normal. Silicon is nice little grower's secret to dealing with high temperatures cheaply, but making the plant's cell walls thicker and physically tougher and tolerable higher temps. Hopefully the temps will go down in italy soon idk lol.
For silicon get some Advanced Nutrients Rhino Skin or some Dyna Gro Protekt. Whatever you get, it should be derived from potassium silicate.

what about if i just get some silicon pellets ?? also its soon turning to winter over here so temps shud drop considerably its around 22c most days but night drops to 12-15c. so it cud work in my favour. what about the loft idea ?? cheers for the advice

might get 4 new shoots mate and the temps are a little high so try lower them a little a few degrees will make all the difference and try get the temps around 10 degrees lower at lights out pal..

i have no way of doing that. i have no access to outside i.e vents. thats why i suggested tent and loft.

If you put it in the loft wouldn't you just have the opposite problem in the winter? I guess I'd have to hear how you plan on doing it.
Would you vent things out of the roof or would you just vent into the loft? How big of a loft are we talking about?

ok its about 28ft in length and a good 19 width biggest height is the middle but that doesnt pose a problem. when it gets hot it gets hot and the same vice versa for cold. the up-point is the sheer size compared the 4ft x 4ft room its in, with no air circulation what so ever. The only thing i thought is the loft would be alot bigger and once it does get colder which is a fact i can produce heat somewhat. I would plan on just venting into the loft instead of outside. Theres always a constant air flow, When it gets windy the trap door to the loft lifts up n closes again due to air being sucked through the house. Also the loft obviously will be in my house where as the cupboard its in is outside and faces a busy road.
