Help, plants dying with 2-3 weeks to go :~(

No different is a good thing and exactly what you want.
That's the sign of a good transplant.
12-72hrs is the danger zone.
They should look no different then just start looking better.
Keep me posted.

Will do...

Thanks again Mammath.

What do you think about his light theory?

If I had 10 plants then I could understand, but
surely 1000w is ok for 4 plants?

1000w would be OK for 4 plants if they were small but yours are a reasonable size.
You may be lacking in the light department a bit. Not much, just a bit.
What your doing by swapping your lights over is good, must be a hassle though.
Your area is quite rectangular so you are better off having the 2 lights mounted like you got instead of one big 1000w.
Maybe in the future you could look at replacing that 400 with a 600, then it should be perfect.
For your area 2 x 600w at the top and the 400w on the bottom pointing up would be a fantastic combination during the later half of flowering.
What this does is when the plants have large heavy colas they usually start growing horizontal with the weight. Light from above and below is perfect for getting those baseball bat colas.
Many years ago SWIM had a room 3 x 3 x 3mH. He would grow 2 plants with 2 x 1000w above and a 400w in between below pointing up. The colas were the biggest I've seen and he would average a pound and a half off each plant.
Ah, those were the days.

Liking the sound of a 400w on the bottom facing up...

I assume you would have to built some kind of stand
to avoid a fire hazard though?

I did consider another 600w but I have already gone
bigger than I wanted when I brought the XXL budbox
& the additional light to fill the extra space...

Mmmmmm

It's been 48 hrs and not much difference too be honest.

I have noticed that two of the plants had stopped leaning
on the wooden poles that I had put in for support previously,
they seemed to be standing up on their own a bit more as
opposed to going with the weight of the buds.

Yellowing of leaves still happening, but I guess this is due to
them being almost 7 weeks in flower...

The bat pooh should fix any nute issue they have, so fingers
crossed...

I have done as much as I can :~)

I think.

Good to hear that the plants are experiencing very little stress.
That's a perfect transplant, well done. (Who says you cant transplant in full flower).
You have done all you can so lets sit back and watch them finish off.

Hey Mammath...

Looking ok mate :~)

Bulked up a bit but the leaves are still going
yellow & dropping off. They are now past
week 7 of flower so assume they are doing
this as the plant is finishing up as opposed to a
problem.

I knocked a branch off by mistake, so took it off,
here's a pic, once again my iphone has taken a
very dark pic.

About 10 days off I would say...

Will take a few more pics when they wake up a
little later tonight...

Cheers

Can't wait to finish these and get the new ones in :~)

Oh the ol' "I knocked a branch off tale". Guess your going to have to smoke it hey.
Just kidding.
Other than that photo being pretty crap looks like it's going to be tasty smoke.
So what's up next for you after this lot.

Ha Ha, ok, I slipped with the scissors :~)

The hairs have really started to brown up over the last
few days so hoping they will be ready soon.

As for the next grow, already in progress...

3 x Train Wreck (Greenhouse Seed Co)
1 x Big Bang (Greenhouse Seed Co)
1 x El Nino (Greenhouse Seed Co)
1 x Cheese (Greenhouse Seed Co)
2 x White Russian Autos (Lowlife).

What about you, got anything interesting on the go?

I love the GHSC stuff, it's quality genetics.
I have a 5 x Fem pack of Big Bang and Himalayan Gold in my seed collection at the moment.
Sprouted a Big Bang a few weeks ago and it got the shit burnt out of it at 3 days old from 115+ temps in my veg cab.
We had a heat wave here and we had 2 weeks of 40C+ days. On a couple of days the outside temps 45C = fucking hot!
It's still alive which is absolutely amazing but it's stunted as fuck. Cant believe it came back though, that's those genetics for ya.
I've got another 5-6weeks with my bagseed grow which you can see the progress in my sig'.
I sprouted a Sensi Super Skunk and a Flying Dutchmen Nepal Kush a week ago. These will be my next grow when the bagseed is done.
I have so many great strains in my seed collection now I wish I could grow them all but when your a stealth grower like me space is an issue.
Here's a quick list:
Paradise White Berry Fem
Barneys Blue Cheese Fem
Barneys Red Dragon Fem
Flying Dutchmen Power Skunk
Flying Dutchmen Nepal Kush
Sensi Super Skunk
GHSC Himalayan Gold
GHSC Big Bang
and a shit load of free seeds you get with an order.
I'm addicted to ordering seeds at the moment and I've just placed another order for:
GHSC - Great White Shark, Train Wreck and The Church
Barneys - Red Diesel, Violator Kush, LSD
Sensi - Big Bud, Jack Flack#5
Ill be looking forward to seeing all those GHSC strains in your garden, All those strains you have there are excellent, especially the Train Wreck, it grows so weird.
Can't wait to grow it myself.

Yep, GHSC is quality...I actually have K-Train, not Train Wreck,
it is a cross between Kush & Train Wreck (As you probably know :~)

The Church was my first grow, lovely plant, nice & easy to grow too.

Impressive collection there, know what you mean about
being addicted to buying them, if only they came pre grown
though :~)

Naaa, growing is the fun part.

Thinking of topping one of them too, never done this before, so
will try one & see how it goes.

Nice set up by the way, very stealth.

Have you tried Lowlife Auto's? Was very impressed with them.

hey your plants will be fine by the time they are ready to come off, i would highly suggest a 420 scope or some other magnifying device to know exactly when ready, i just got done growing cheese and lemon skunk from GHSC and the turnout was absolutely amazing, best nugs i've ever seen/smoked. i started trainwreck and great white shark but the great white shark didnt make it and now i have just germinated white rhino in it's place

I've heard many good reports about the Rhino, I think that will be a worthy replacement.
I wanted some Rhino too, but both the seed companies I use are both out of stock.
Goes to show how popular it is.

Hi guys...

Here's a few pics taken yesterday, they will be 8 weeks budding on Thursday.

They seem have gained some weight since the transplant & the branches need to be assisted with poles due to the weight. Yellowing is still occuring but I am putting this down to the lateness in flowering as opposed to any problems I may still have.

Have checked the trics with my 420 scope & they are 50% Clear/40% Cloudy/10% Amber so still a little to go I think.

I will wait till either the trics are a nice mix of colours or the yellowing just reaches the buds & chop I think. 5-7 days more?

I tried the bud which I chopped off by mistake & it was very nice, abit a little fresh, but certainly did the job :~)

This is my 3rd grow & I have had leaf problems on each one so not sure what I am doing wrong?

1st Grow - The Church, leaves went yellow/red at week 5.
2nd Grow - Low Life White Russian, leaves went pale yellow at week 6.
3rd Grow - White Widow (This grow), leaves yellowed then blacked & dropped off at week 4.

I am putting it down to the small 10L pots I was using rather than Nute defs as I am always very carefull with PH/Nutes/Lights etc.

Cheers

Thanks Thelynx,

Got a scope on my last grow, well worth the money...

White Rhino is a good choice...

Read some great reviews on it, good luck...

Looking good Muffin.
Bulked up nicely.
They'll pack on a bit more in this last week too.
Maybe next grow change your nutes to something like 'Canna Terra'.
There 2 part mixes for, Veg and Bloom that's specifically designed for a soil grow.
I use Canna substra and it's the shit. The Flores has a bit more nitrogen than other bloom ferts and I reckon that will solve these probs your having.
Canna also contains every trace element MJ needs, so deficiencies will be a thing of the past.
Give it a go, I swear by it.

Thanks mammath...

Will change to canna for sure...

They sell it in my local store too :-)

Should I be thinking of flushing my current
plants? The bat mix has been down for almost
2 weeks now.
