Dear fellow cultivators, hacks and wannabe trolls. (see signature for the Daily Dill Weed Post)

I am back and making rounds in the forum. While I was gone I started and brought together a group of what I considered the most knowledgeable and researched growers both in Hydro and Soil that spend time on this thread allowing us to focus on your problems without a lot of back ground noise from guys that like to put ground up glass on the soil to kill bugs ,soaks their weed in grape juice to neutralize pesticides or the kid that steals weed from his dad.

We are The Hospital Group So bring on and post your weakened,dying and discolored and lets get you back to green.

Dr Sparky

Bukake :finger:YOU!!!

Good to see you sparky. I got the forbicide the other day. My plants must be an auto flower strain ( I was told they are train wreck ) because I am still on 12/12 and they are starting to flower. Probably a no shit observation but I'm new to growing and relying on you nice folks for all my lagetimate advice.

So my question is should I avoid spraying on the baby buds or not worry about it? They aren't real big yet. I can send a post a picture of what I'm talking about tomorrow I you want. Thanks man.

Ah 12/12 is for flowering so if you have been on 12/ 12 then you are in flower. SO that being said where are you lighting wise? if you are only a week into flower yes you could but your not supposed to and if you have been in 12/ 12 for 2 or 3 weeks then no your screwed and we have to find another solution.

Well I feel dumb now I guess it's late and I'm Pretty baked. Showing my true noobieness lol. I didn't mean 12/12. I'm still in veg. I'm actually doing 12 on 5.5 off 1 on 5.5 off. I was told by an old timer this gives the most time in the dark for the plants to grow with out putting them into flower. On a side note will that work? I think I actually changed to 13 on 5 off 1 on 5 off when I started seeing pistols form. That's all they basically are are pistols right now.

I am way ready to flower but want to get rid of those damn spidermites first. So i guess once they are gone I will flower.
 
Hey Sparky
I have 3 of these girls in 15l air-pots, in biobizz all-mix under a 400mh and they are coming in to 6th week in veg. They were topped using uncle bens 4 main cola topping technique.
I noticed this yellowing of the lower leaves about 6 days ago on one of them. So gave them their first feed 5 days ago of biobizz bio-grow npk of 8-2-6. And fed them yesterday also. These pics were taken this morning. You can see the yellowing of lower leaves, but im not sure why. I thought it might a been nitrogen, but the colour hasnt improved from both feeds... Pic on the right is a healthier sister...
Also, although it is heavily indica dominant, is it normal for the fan leaves to be this droopy?
Any recommendations?
Thanks for your time!

Fuck it, spray them and send them in to flower 12/12 not any other combo that you heard some someones mom. :)

Biobizz bio-grow npk 8 2 6. Bottle says 2-4ml per litre, so i gave 1ml per litre and each plant got 2.5L... Maybe she is under-fed...? Ive been recommended to let pots dry out a good bit then, next watering, give the sick one a little food in his drink. Would you reckon that will perk her up?
