Hi guys,

First grow
4 weeks in
floweing this week due to moving
Soil grow (all mix bio), using bio grow for a week, about to start on bloom
200w CFL that has been 2 inches away since week 2

Can someone look and let me know how things look? I have no idea? leaves seem a little dry?

Cheers

Looks like pot to me. LOL

Very green, maybe a little too much. Cut back N for sure. Also, "taco" leave means you need Mg- leaves look like the beginning of a problem. Add some epsom salts.

ya see.....that's why I ask you ppl......I'd have no idea about that.

OK, I was gonna feed bloom tomorrow which is lower in N.....maybe I should wait and just water with no nutes for a few days?? what u think?

The water I have has 5.2ml per litre....will that sort it ya think??

Epsom salt is 1/2 teaspoon to each gallon of water and I only do it every other feeding. Look good, maybe go with the epsom salt and one teaspoon of molasses to help your roots per gallon per week along with it.

Cheers Garden Weeds....I've done research but its not as easy as I thought this grow game....Started flowering this week as I gtta move out soon but they seem to be OK......although really short but I'm not too fussed about yield, just need the meds for my arthritis and I can't get medical weed here - they give me codeine which is like sythetic herion.....sucks after a while

A mistake a lot of people make is thinking the more you add to a plant, the better off they'll be. You plants are healthy, leave them the f... alone. Don't add for the sake of adding. Molasses in small does is fine- it adds some Mg, a few other micro's and carbs to feed microrganisms in your soil. It's best used in flowering. Too much will attract bugs so go easy.

I'd only fertilize with water for a week, other then adding some epsom salts (and molasses if u wish). My best suggestion at this point is look into some zymes- Prozyme, Sensizyme, Hygrozyme, etc. These help break down roots, clean your grow medium and most importantly, breaks down fertilizer better so the roots can uptake them easier, faster and more efficiently. It stops salt build-up too.

Lastly, you don't want your plants to yellow up too quickly so go 50/50 grow/bloom ferts for a few weeks of flowering. Then going into week 3, go straight bloom ferts. THis is my formula and works for me but may not for others. I use Botanicare products in pro-mix. Ask 100 people and you'll get 100 different answers too. You're doing fine so far, don't stress over it. Let them do their thing and you'll have good success.......

Cheers mate - bit dark but seem OK I guess - the peeps on this forum are proper helpful. They might not be done but my girls mum said she will take them the final few weeks if needs be. I have a grow area there that I used a few weeks back. Its gonna stink tho - OG Kush

I'm pretty sure OG Kush is supposed to be pretty dark green. My DNA lemon OG Kush is just as dark as that, and I'm running pure organic soil, so if I were you I wouldn't stress about the colour. Here's a pic of mine, which is bred from the OG #18 cut. So much darker green than the little AK47 and NlxBigBud autofem I have on the go next to it...

Thanks all - major coco, I think u might be right.....the other plants are light green and have been on the same feeding schedule....also, the OG has been dark green from seed......anyway, I gave all 3 a heavy water feed this morning and will start on bloom on Sunday.
They are proper growing now, almost double from 10 days ago. Considering the DIY area ice created I can't believe I got this far. The 200w CFL seems to be working well
 
Totally agree with you on that major. I have 2 plants outside going as well..I'm just not doing a journal on them. It's my first outdoor and not to sure if i'm gonna have time where i live in oregon so maybe after this i'll try some autos. Anyways point is the 2 I have...one is a huge freakin bush of a lady named "Barbra Scary Lady Bush" and has the darkest green i've grown yet. Not to much on a smell of her yet but her counter.."Bonzai" she's very light green in color. Only other tip i can offer up to it other then genetics would be a very vibrant, healthy bitch of a "mother plant", a lady you would want to veg for awhile so you can get some amazing clones and have a better chance of getting a better "mother plant" Lookin good thou mate.

as far as cal/mag goes, i always recomend Supernatural brand Ultimate Thrive. its 5ml per gallon/h2o. u can use it from clone to harvest, with other nutes u add/or just with water or u can use it only when ya need it. i add a dose everyother watering/feeding and havnt had cal/mag problems since i started. good luck
