okay first of all i have three plants of this unknown strain i found the seeds in some bug i smoked not long ago... i have been veging with 2x25watt cfls for 4 weeks the biggest one is about 28 cm tall and 32cm wide... so far i have only fed them twice the first time i fed them they didn't react very well so the second time i gave them a quoter dose and they reacted beautifully... i have noticed they are growing at least 2-4cm taller everyday recently so im planning on putting them in flowering next weekwith the 600 watt hps... there is slight curling on the leafs because of poor equipment for ph reading.. but the colour of the leafs is nice healthy green....

Because atm im very low on cash i used multipurpose compost from the pound shop im sure its not that rich in nutrients but it done the job for my little babies when they were seedlings i done a mix of perlite and multipurpose soil for the pot exchange the roots looked good they had no room left before i did the transfer ...

The nutriants im using is called BONO booster for vegging and BONO bloom stimulator... i was looking to go organic but so far ive had no choice but to use the booster for extra growth ...

im thinking of going organic for its flowering feed or should i just stick with what i got BTW has anyone used these BONO's before? what is the npk of them ... appareanly my cousin bourt these from amsterdam and gave them to me

any suggestions???

Sorry in advance for poor grammar...

Will post pics soon...

Nah, they look ok. How often are you watering though? They look possibly a little over watered. Causes droopiness. They will love the 600w, I would just put that in now on 18/6 or what ever your running. Start it high maybe 24-30in away and work it lower each day till you find the spot where it's closest but the temps arn't too high. gl
:peace:

Dunno about that.

You vegged for 3.5 months? They should be bigger than that right?

Hmm. The tips turning color looks more like nutrient deficiency/ burn then over heating. Do you PH your water before feeding? That or a nitrogen deficiency could cause the yellowing and burn-like symptoms. Did you cut out nitrogen completely? They still need some, like an NPK ratio of 1-3-2 or something close. Flushing with PH around 6.5 might help or if you think its a deficientcy just give it a special feeding. Too late for foliar sprays IMO. Hope this helps some, GL.

i always underfeed never overfeed and to be onist i have no idea what the npk is on the nuts im useing atm they dont say anything on the bottle accept 1ml to 2ml per 10liters

yes it could be because im only useing a strip ph reader... match the collours lol i heard if i had a digital ph reader i would not be having this problem i will invest in one as soon as i can make life more easy lol...

btw how comes its not happening to the leafs on the middle and the bottom of the plant the tips look fine on them so i assumed it was because of the nasty heat from the bulb i hate the fact that i dont know the genetics so i dont know what they would want lol i can only learn the plant for myself from experiance... dont forget its my first grow im still learning :) my brain can only take so much when smoking cheese lol
