Hawaii Grow '08

Im growing some BC mango and Some Island Sweet Skunk. Im about 3 weeks in and things arent going so well. Growth has been slow and the bottom leaves are turning purple then white. Idk whats wrong. ill post some pics in a few days

You growing in hawaii?

yeah, 808 state, that be hawaii

Nice, just moved off of oahu, what island are you at?

oahu. u grow outdoors in hawaii?

Idk, in comparison to other ppls grows they seem to be growin soooo slow. this is like 3 weeks in and they are still tiny in comparison

Dam they look nice and great bushyness. Very good sign I would say, Mine stretched a bit in the beginning.

but arent they kinda small?

Yea, there small, but look better then mine did @ 3 weeks, but that was cause I had lots of problems. But now there doing great. One day you will come take a peak, and notice when they take off. 3-4 weeks is when mine exploded with growth. So be patient. The more growth and leaves they have, the faster they will grow.

Post a pic of your setup and lights.....

Click to expand...

yes i did, not much success though, i had problems with those fucking ants always cutting my seedlings in half.

Thats aesome man, where in oahu?

, and yeah a wee bit, r those indoor or out?

they are outdoors, but right now sun is only ilke 13 hours. they get about 8 direct though. any tips for helping growth in the 808

That could be your problem, more sun = faster growth

Where at in oahu?

east side of oahu

Ohh, nice. I was on the north shore. Anway good luck, yeah i wouldnt say your to bad off with those plants, mine looked about the same at that time, and that was with 24/0 with 2 42 watt cfls plus 4 26w cfls. So they look normal to me, and pretty damn healthy. Id recomend finding a better spot with more light if possible. See what others on here have to say though too...

u dont think that odd color on the bottom is a bad thing?

Ok, yeah, do u feed them nutes?

How often do u water, what do you use to determin they need water?

What kind of soil mix do you use?

i use this soil.
Supersoil - Products - Supersoil Potting Soil
water every 2-3 days

no added nutes

thye are in pots that are about 3/4 gallon

Your soil sounds fine.

You might be overwatering. The rule of thumb is to wait until the top 2inches is dry, just kindof finger it to find out. I was watering my plants like once a week in oahus outdoors.

Maby also try a diluted solution of some nutrience of some kind. Its done complete turn arounds on plants for me before/

yeah ill prob try that, where on oahu were u?

Wialua/haleiwa, The great northshore. The surf was aesome this winter!
