Your lil ladies look nute burnt to me bro.I would run just plain water... your soil/or whatever meduim you are using seems to hot for your lil ones....So I would say just water plain water for the next two or three watering, then start at 300ppm and work your way up slowly from there.



Sucks about the fan haha sorry for laughin but I'm thinking of what a tent would look all puffed up lol should of snapped a pic lol



I put my clones in to three gallon bags doesnt seem to hurt them, infact I feel the less transplants equals less stress on your plant, so if you can run with no transplants do it. but thats just my train of thought. You can cut soil with lots of different thing, coco, perlite, vermiculite, other soil a mix of all above. So yes there is some truth to that. I would think you could run more like a 60/40 mix but I have never work with LCs and no nothing about its "hotness" but 2-3 cups seems a tish light in a one gallon bag. Happy growin bro
Thanks for your response redbull, I appreciate it.
I get mixed reviews, some people like multiple transplants, others like as little transplanting as possible. I'm kind of in the middle but lean more to the multiple because I wouldnt like my ladies to become root bound and slow growth, potentially hindering yield.

I'll make sure to feed the ladies water for the next couple waterings. I am going to try to let them dry as much as possible before watering just to make sure roots are good.

Thanks again

One week of flower is in the books. The lady doesn't seem to have changed much maybe this week it'll stretch some and start bud formation? lol Im excited.

Picked up a couple new Chocolope cuts, which I am very excited over. I've heard nothing but great things about this strain. Also my Tahoe cuts seem to be coming back. One was getting a bit stretchy so I super cropped it and it responded very well. The other one that had some nute burn is coming back. The younger leaves are yellowing and falling off, while the new growth is green and healthy :)

I am still debating about where to route my ducting. I can either cut a hole in the wall or one in the door. The door seems a bit less destructive since the place isnt mine, But going through the door I feel will be a pain in the ass to get into the room. Any ideas?

I am awaiting my rooting plugs to try cloning again, since my first time was 100% failure lol

Ur def over watering if you give them a gallon each every watering. Otherwise not too bad. Id vent your hood thats for sure! It looks like a air cooled hood put it to use. Will help get temps down.

thanks for the input. I don't feed them a gallon of water, MAYBE half a gallon IF they need it but they won't get anything else for 5 days or however long it takes for it to be dry. I finger my ladies and i theyre dry up to my second knuckle (the one that punches people's face) I feed them or water them.

My hood is vented. It is on it's own fan which pulls air from the veg tent THROUGH the hood out the tent.

Best way to prevent PM is to maintain proper temperatures and air exchange. I think you've been overwatering/feeding, hence slow growth. Possibly environmental issues although your latest setup looks much improved. Some folks use a lemon juice foliar spray to mess with the acidity of the leaves and prevent growth. You really shouldn't have an issue with it if you can maintain your temperatures, humidity, air exchange and plant health though IMO.

I agree that I might have been over watering them. At first I was watering them when only the top 1" was dry. Now I let more of the medium become dry and use the 'lift' method instead of other things, for me its a lot more accurate.
As far as PM is concerned I did apply PM wash a preventative about two weeks ago. Not sure what it did/didn't do but it gave me some piece of mind. I have always read that keeping rH and temps in check is best. It seems a little difficult to keep my rH in check in the flower tent since it is drawing air from the veg tent, which means I might have to stop doing that....:oops: AND get a good dehumidifier.
This is a never ending purchasing spree :-P but if the ladies require it then they shall get it.

Hey man I'm following.. so please keep up with the updates.

Looking forward to seeing how things turn out.


I'm also starting a grow in the next couple of weeks (my 3rd) with a very very small setup (250w in a secret jardin 60 tent)

I grew out a fantastic tree in my outdoor garden this summer using nothing but organics and water so thats what I'll be doing inside this time around as well...

Good to see you looking into LC's mix. I'll be doing soil-less mix on top with a supersoil of sorts on the bottom of my pots. For me KISS is key.

I'd agree that it looks like you are over-loving your ladies ie nute burn. (i've been guilty of that on both of my first grows). I'd let the pots dry out so that they feel almost weightless when lifting them up then water with plain water.

My two cents

Thanks for following. The last watering which was three days ago was with plain water and the pots were dry like you described. I dont know why I didnt realize I was doing this earlier but oh well its my first for a reason.

So I attempted to clone again last night, took 9 cuts about 5-7 nodes big, didn't snap a pic but trimmed the fan leaves after dipping them in clonex. Hopefully these root riot plugs work for me. It's been about 24hrs since I took the cuts and they haven't wilted much. I'm hoping they'll be super strong cuts like their momma!

Snapped a pic of the other blue dream that is in flower (2 weeks now). It was fed last night after drying a bit. It's cool to see the buds starting to form

go for a product new on the american market this autumn called 'clonex mist'. You'll be surprised at the difference it makes. basically, it's for foliar feeding.

spray the mother with it 2 to 3 days before taking your cuttings, then once into the plugs, spray lightly again. i've recently bought some and the results are truly astonishing.

I've also used it with water to spray my propogator lid. Try it mate, unbelievable.
