Ya I do the same thing ... i keep a 2L jug of water in the grow closet so the water is always the same temperature. I just filled it back up to the "fill line" ! im just hoping the nutrients are almost gone so the nute burn will end and growth will continue at an alarming rate haha

What it do,

its been 3 weeks since i put the germinated seeds into the AG space saver 6. Everything is coming along nicely but yesterday i went to check on the girls and one stem had snapped in half and the plant was tipped over ! I think it was due to the fan being to close .... because the stems are nice and thick, it was just the wind blowing on her was too strong) Luckily it didn't break all the way through ... so i did some quick research and found that if you cut a straw in half and wrap it around the stem that it will hold it together and allow it to grow back (supposedly stronger then it was before ... ?)

Besides that i did a flush on friday and and currently running pure water through the system (PH 5.5 - 5.7) to help cure the nute burn ..... and i have decided to NOT put "2 AG nute tabs" in every sunday and instead only use 1 a week. (half on sunday and the other half on wednesday)

Take a look at the pictures and check out the straw technique to hopefully heal the broken stem !

Also the 4th plant that has been struggling is starting to look very nice .... still small but she is definitely growing .. which it didnt seem like she was doing last week (could have been the nute burn ?)

Let me know what you think, :leaf: RIK4LIFE :leaf:

So over the last 24 hours there has been some drastic changes to one of my ladies. She had orignally snapped her stem on saturday and seemed to still be doing fine but last night she instantly started dying and is now basically dead. I dont know if it will come back or not but either way i have removed it from my AG to make more room for the 2 strong plants and the one thats still trying.


Take a look at the pics and let me know what you think. Do you think the broken stem caused this to happen ? i thought the stem would have grown back ....

Not too sure on how she died, probably was transplant shock, plus the broken stem = Dead plant, you still got two strong ladies left, treat them good, and will they be female,

Hey,

went to Home Depot today and picked up a power bar, 2 43watt CFL's, 6 13watt CFL's and some y-sockets. I put together my own reflector using a shoe box and mylar. Check out the pics and let me know what you think.

It will be 4 weeks this sunday, so i am going to go lights off for 24 hours on saturday then start my 12/12 flowering with a fresh tank of water and nutes !

Let me know what you thannnnnnkkkk.

Hey,

Been awhile since i last posted but i am now in the FLOWERING stage ! I vegetated the ladies for 3 weeks and left them in the dark for 24/hours before starting my 12/12. I cleaned out the reservoir of the AG yesterday and added fresh nutes.

Take a look at the pictures i attached. In the last (5th) picture .... is the the top cola starting to form ? Also, when will they start to show sex or have they already ?

All help is appreciated !
