Help my babies don't look so good

Man those plants got way to big for that little Aero Garden you should have started flowering when they were like 6 inches tall really and they seems like they have a few different deficiencies as well have you been using any other nutrients besides what it came with cause they look like they could use a good boost that may be why u dont see any flowers yet it usually takes 10-20 days after flippnig the lights over depending on the strain also the light might not be intense enough so all those combined will cause a slower flower formation.

Unfortunately, I have no access to any other nutes... so I hope it's a nute burn, not a deficiency, you're correct about being late into flowering, for some reason I simply forgot to change the life cycle and kept it on 24/24 for 34 days

yea sounds right to me. then the lil white hairs will start to pop out 1st THEN the buds form. you prolly have a good week or too. maybe longer flowering seeds. its all good shes prolly gonna pack on lots of weight and be a fat bitch once she hits puberty this is the calm before the storm

Thanx Ninja you've been a great motivator from the beginning of my grow.
I've been really blown away by the progress of this thing, again, I never grew or planted anything in my life, so I'm getting attached to my AG in a weird way, up to the point where I'm afraid that I wouldn't be able to harvest my babies… (NOT!)

An update of my grow..

I added a huge natural light cfl I found in my garage, it improved the color of the plants dramatically.

it has been 17 days into flowering and FINALLY … SHE IS GROWING A BUSH.

so hempstead, I withdraw that "guy with smallest d#*k"

my PH is 5.7 and I have been using the AG nutes (two large tabs with every flush) so yesterday I flushed my yank with fresh water and will flush again next week with only half a tab, I think I over did it with the two nute tabs…

I have four plants in my AG three are doing well and flowering with white hairs, but one is way under developed and showing only a few dried and droopy leaves(highlighted in 1st pic.), any suggestions?

Lookin nice and healthy

Looking good man.

no prob man, I was a "nOOb" @ growing too. Im glad to have helped someone while learning myself. I know what you mean about the AG though. Me not being very handy found the Idea of DIY way too much work. so it was worth the money for a small personal stash grow.


Next grow I might build a lil DWC tho...still researching

Yea Im not sure man.. any other suggestions?

Hello everyone, (this has been a very long week)
Ok.. I'm three weeks into flowering, I just started nuting them after a week of flushing.
I noticed that they are very bushy, with lots of fan leaves, should I trim thees, how do you choose which ones to trim?
any suggestions?

Some pics of my progress...

I wouldnt trim anything. if the plant doesnt need the leaves it will drop them. wait till you get close to harvest b4 worrying about trimming extra fan leaves

I personally don't believe in trimming live leaves. The leaves are used to collect energy to grow buds. Unless they are dry and shriveled, I don't touch them.

*when cloning, I trim the larger fan leaves but that's a different scenario all together

it looks more like Phosphorus deficiency almost with all those dead blotches in the leaf

Thanks guys for the advise, I left all the leaves as they are, in my inexperienced opinion I think they look "acceptable" given the fact I'm using AG nutes
My PH is at 5.8

after flushing for a week I used 1.5 AG tabs (large) and top up my res with plain distilled water, there are lots of changes to my leaves (last two pics)
Could this be nute burn? or am I overdoing it with the crappy AG nutes?

P.S. how bad is it to if you have the flu??

If that was the case, wouldn't that effect the other three plans in the AG ?
(I'm no expert here, just thinking out loud)

you know what sometimes plants that all have the same exact treatment act differently it might be in the genetics or something i cant explain why but almost everytime i have a crop there will be a few crappy plants that just have problems the whole time and are either stunted or get deficient even when there all cloned from the same plants etc.

some times even twin human children may have different illnesses too. one can have asthma while the other is fine. every living thing will grow and evolve uniquely.

----AG Nutes are fine. I have seen plenty of grows using AG nutes all the way through and it was cool. You can yield more with other nutes but the plants are fine with just the AG nutes.


----Smoking our favorite plant always makes me feel better. only dont like it when I have a sore throat.

Just an update of my babies, IMO very slow progress, is there anything I can do to make this faster?

I'm 5 weeks into flowering, and ten weeks from planting seeds.

HPS and quality nutes. Mine is hanging up to dry after about 10 weeks. They will come along, what strain are they again?

you can get just as good buds with CFL's, how many lights do you have? if your only flowering with the AG lights thats your problem
