Those are some big plants Dubbz..If you make till harvest your gonna be a happy camper.. I pulled 2.5 with the same lights and your plants piss all over mine size and training wise :)... You see where some of the leaves are like a upsidedown canoe ? Mine did that when I gave them too much nitrogen .. or overwatered... the good thing though .. is most of em stopped after I fixed everything .. 2 of the plants had leaves like that all the way till harvest.. but they still came out stellar.. so its not too big of a deal I guess.

Thought I would add.. I really thought your plants were worse off then this by the problems you were describing .. they still look pretty damn good.. even with the little hitches I believe your still gonna get ALOT of quality smoke. Just dont do anything drastic.. sometimes chasing small problems leads to bigger one lol. I just got my fingers crossed your move doesnt hinder your chance to smoke some HOME GROWN :)

Well I think it's the damn HPS light that throws everything off to me. Once I brought them upstairs and seen them under normal light, I was surprised how good they looked lol Kinda feel stupid for complaining so much!! It's all a learning process and I have been known to be impatient and easy to fluster lol One of these days I'll catch on and stop complaining :D

The upside down canoeing could be from too much N. I've been using HB Verde which is like 16-2-1. The HB feed chart shows to stop using it during flower but that doesn't make sense to me. Why should I stop feeding the plant nitrogen? I don't think I should so I haven't. It could also be from over watering... I need to leave them sit for a few days in between feedings.

Tomorrow I'm going to make a call to see if these people will let me stay in my house if I agree to do some type of rental. If they'll agree to renting it to me for a few months I would have no worries about moving anything. I just need them to finish!!

Good luck with the rental agreement... I feed nitrogen VERY lightly once I go to flower.. then taper off to none within a week on my fast finishing strains.. on my Sativas that will flower for 10+ weeks I keep a light nitrogen feed till about week 3.. but after that .. they just get what the soil has left to offer... I never feed any nitro within 4 weeks of them finishing... it taste like shit and can give you some airy buds... this is of course just all my opinion and experiences.. so take it or leave it LOL...

On another note.. it is a trip what those HPS lights can do to your plants looks wise huh.. Under HPS light green looks yellow.. I try to get my girls out the tent and under normal light every 2 weeks for and inspection.. because its hard to really judge their health under those lights.. plus your pics come out soo much more brilliant and green under standard light.

Looks like your still doing well.. I can tell you read a shit load or asked someone a million questions cus your stuff is looking legit.. specially since this is your first grow right dubbz?

Yeah man, first grow. I've been reading and taking in information like crazy. I'm not working right now so I have the time to learn as much as possible. I'm constantly making sure my shit stays up to par so to speak. The first little sign of something that doesn't look right and I'm here searching or in my book searching lol This HAS to come out right or I'll be in a really bad place. I don't need to even think about that though...

I guess I'll hold off on the Verde on this grow. I remember reading something about the N staying with the plants for a long time, but my cheese plant has yellow leaves falling off every day. This is a nitrogen def from what I've read, so I guess I figured I'd feed it more N. Dude I appreciate your opinions and experiences more than you could know. Your grow was a huge success in my eyes and if mine comes close to that I'll be ecstatic.

I'm still researching running a MH during the last few weeks of flower along with a HPS. I'm reading that the yield will be effected slightly, but the potency and resin production will increase. I'm still on the fence with my decision. There's still a few weeks to go before I make my decision. I want tight ass tric'd out buds!!

Its kinda a judgement call with the nitro.. but expect some of those leaves to fall off.. the plan normally kills off some of the lower leaves that arent getting much light in flower... then after about 6-8 weeks in flower they alll start to yellow.. more with some strains then others...

Im confident that if you dont have problems with keeping a home for these girls.. ur grow will be more then successful :)

Ok then I won't try to stop it anymore lol Preventative maintenance! I really have too much time on my hands...

If I wake up early enough tomorrow I'll find out if I can rent this house or not. My guess is NO but it won't hurt to ask.

Is this your first child? I know how it goes when a baby comes into the picture. They take away that one thing you love so much...SLEEP! You might actually have more time to attend your grow room lol You'll be awake after putting her back to sleep, might as well go check out the ladies!

na this is my second .. I have a 3 year old boy .. Im not too worried about sleep.. im fucked in that regard.. I have a back of a 90 year old with degrading disc.. herniation .. and now arthritus.. I havent slept well in 5 years or so ... I pretty much sleep 4 hrs a night .. if that.. Kinda crazy that I have adjusted too it now. I remember I had a nerve block done.. and I was pain free for a whole like 3 days lol.. I slept 10 hrs straight one night.. I felt like I was on speed the next day .. all fucking hyper lol. But the thing im dreading is diapers all over again... my son is finally potty trained completely as of 4 months ago.. and now im about to do it ALLL over again.. but its all good.. I wanted a boy and a girl.. I got a boy in a girl.. now im gonna get fixed.. lol

Ahh very cool. 3 is a good age for your boy. I'm the same way with sleep. I get about 4 hours of solid sleep each night except I have no ailments. Hell, I haven't even seen my doctor in a few years. This is the main reason I got my caregiver card instead of my patient card, less shenanigans if shit ever hits the fan lol

Best of luck with that whole getting fixed thing lol I couldn't do that. My girl would be getting that done! Hers can be reversed, ours can't.

Dude you have me second guessing myself... usually when my ladies droop a little I give them water and they perk up. Now I'm looking at them like maybe they're drooping from over watering or too much nitrogen lol. I ended up letting them go unfed tonight. Worst case they got an extra day to use every last bit of moisture in the soil. Tonight they will all get fed, including my sorry ass lemon skunks lol I can't believe these ladies only want water every 4 or 5 days but if thats what they like, thats what they get. The kush and cheese are thirsty every other day if not every day.

Looks like I should have watered last night... a couple of my kush ladies are wilting really bad on the lower parts. The temp in my room was at 93F when I checked it earlier. It's been staying super hot since the weather here has been so ridiculous so I imagine they will be extremely thirsty. My lights go off in 10 minutes so it might be pointless to try watering them now...ugh

lol no worries man, I was only teasing. As the lights were going off I poured a quart of water in each of the cheese and kush pots. I'm sure they'll be fine :)
