first grow soiless mix with OG Kush

It definetly looks moisture related. Take ur own advice on that. As for the light I would kick the second on for a couple hours increasing the time everday for a week push them into it kinda gradually and with the added bulb ur humidity may drop a little too much for them so be wary of that. Otherwise sounds like ya know what the problem is and have a good idea how to fix it. I like to water less more often myself. I leterall water til I se a few drops of runoff then stop and let it soak in they usually need water every other day this way but it works well for me and it helps avoid fungus gnats. But I'm in a slightly humid area.

And if they perk back up with the change in watering and u see no ill effects from the 2kw I wouldn't bother phasing it in. Just watch ur temps and tops for bleaching

dude thanks for the info. Yeah I keep such a close eye on shit in that room that nothing can go too wrong without me adjusting it to whats healthy. I just looked into Co2 feeding and it's gonna cost me 3.50 a day just to have a puck dissolving in a water dish, I'm not gonna bother with that for now... too expensive. Another ? is what temp should I keep my water at for feeding, I just bought an aquarium thermometer. The 2ks are on in about an hour so it's go time. Guess we will see how they do.

~ We raise them from when cloned to get us stoned ~

If I remember right 100% oxygenation is easiest achieved at 65 degrees but around room temp should work just fine as long as its not ice cold u aren't likely to shock them

ok now I've been noticing a bunch of spots on the fan leaves, i wanna catch this early...if it's anything;

Looks like water spots

Werd. U foliar feeding? How hard is ur water are u using it from the tap? I don't see any stipling indicating bugs

Things are getting a bit worse ATM :S I noticed that quite a few of the leaves have this white powdery coating forming on them. I need some expertise on this please?

sorry I didnt see that. Yeah i haven't done any foliar feeding at all

I think I've FN had it with worrying 'bout this BS starting with wierd spots, powdery or downy mildew now appearing, oH and now the occasional white spot on some leaves, threatening my girls with spider mites...I'm just waiting for sh**t to hit the fan now so I will now do IN THIS ORDER;

- Sponge alot of the leaves that seem to harbour any of this powdery stuff with a mixture of skim milk/ water 9:1 ratio

- clean room thoroughly, removing any pots, loose equip (seperate cleaning) with a mild bleach solution and let fumigate for 8 hours at least

- BUG BOMB THE SHIT OUTTA THE ROOM INCLUDING SUPPLY/BALLAST CLOSET WITH PYRETHRUM

- cheese cloth my intake as it comes from the crawlspace below

how does my pest/disease assault sound? thanx for any quality help in advance ~ ur BCbuddy

ok things are going better now, I have sprayed all the plants with the skim milk mixture. I have cleaned the room up, no bug bomb or neem spray or anything yet. Plants seem

mildew free but are coated with the dry milk residue. i was told to do a pest control measure just before i go to 12/12 The plants are now 8-10 inches and

bushing out quite nicely, heres a pic of current grow stage ; ignore the spray on the leaves as it's just for the PM and coming off soon thx for checking in

they have grown around 4 inches in 4 days!! at around 12-14 inches now and getting taller/wider fast. I'm getting itchy to start flowering soon, but I don't wanna hinder the max yield at all by flowering small immature plants, I say at least 16 inches for the smallest plant.

Does anyone know if the strain OG kush stinks really bad or not? the smell is fairly mild in the room now, but flowers are a different story.

the og is an average yielder all depends on how big you let it veg before you flower, i mean i got about 15g average per plant when i put it into flowering under a 400w hps at 16" tall but it all depends on how your growing it the smell isn't bad until you dry/cure it but than again my whole house if full of stoners so it always smells good in our house. i would say wait till your plants get a good 18-20" before you start flowering because in soil it will not yield as much in my opinion than a dwc. hope that helps

yeah 18-20 iches sounds good, I don't want over 4 foot plants though because of height restrictions thats all i can have. 15 g's a plant? owch thats small. I use top of the line nutrients (GH) and maintain a very stable/optimal environment, i am not using soil, i am using HP-PROMIX soilless medium, i'm using 4000 watts of hid lighting. I plan on getting around 55-65 grams per plant, sub it and see my friend! thanks for your input

day 22... Things look good, I've added another 1000 watts (hps) with my 2 thousand watt MH's for the last week of veg to try and max growth until flowering. I plan on flowering at the end of the month. Powdery mildew is still a problem, spreading fast amongst the lower leaves. I'm going to get some stuff called defender today, I was told it's a one shot remedy for PM, used by the local growers. Plants are between 12-15 inches tall with mass branching taking off. Updated pics.

They look good man. Sorry I haven't been in. Been busy as shit. Look online for greencure. Pm is a bitch green cure is their midol lol. Defender works well but from what I have seen only to slow it. Greencure will kill it on contact. If u can find something sulphur based that will work well. A sulphur burn before flower then a neem treatment til 3 weeks 12/12 should settle it. Every chance u get pull everything out and vaccum mop then bleach mixed with alkaline water. And wandering spores should be rendered useless. Before trating remove (carefully, really act like its a male ur having to move in a room of females don't wanna spread the spores.)The badly infected areas. Afterword work in prevention. Carbon scrubber in and out. The carbon will catch most things attempting to intrude ur hydro store should carry the "carbon sleeve" they're maybe 12 bucks. Won't bug down ur intake much but could prevent most troubles ur having. And if the mites indeed are lurking I say don't fk around with organics and "at bay" pesticides. Step up to the azamax and anihilate. Its deforms them so that the eggs they lay are sterile. There's a million ways to go at each of these. But neem, green cure, and azamax are all that have WORKED for me. A lot of others reduced numbers or kept them at bay. But this was the only lineup I found that decimated everything (including some leaves so be careful) but I again would say sulphur burn. Treat with green cure after ( use on plants and as an area spray for the area spray mix in a little azamax) then neem weekly after til ur nugs get too fat to spray. After this is done tear down clean clean clean and rebuild.

Yo Homie I just finished some mad work in the room. I took everything out, swept, wiped all surfaces down with a mild bleach solution, sealed the room better for air/light leaks and trimmed all the bottom 2 inches of greenery off of them. I did this because everytime I water it just get's buried in the dirt anyway, tired of digging out tiny leaves every fkn day. What exactly is a carbon sleeve? and where is it used in function? i tried to order greencure but cannot they have banned it in Canada and cancelled the order as fast as I made it I'm stuck with the defender stuff, I can't afford a 150 dollar sulfur burner right now. I have no signs of bugs at all yet but i will start neeming soon, I just need to learn a lil more about using it properly. I don't wanna clog stomata or kill any leaves. So the room is sp tless and plants are freshly trimmed now I can't wait to see the last week of veg growth take off! I won't be using this noob room again man. I'm going to move out after this and find a wayy bigger house and make two rooms this time a small on for clone/veg/mothers a bigger one with 6 600 watters... should be good as I have learned alot about how to do things properly with the build and during growth. Thanks for checkin in man and I'll be updating in 3 days or so.

this is a great start to a grow, looks like what im going to be doing soon. props man

thanks alot. Stay tuned it's goin big.
