thats exactly what it looks like to me, also.

you only have two choices (IMO) 1. overwatering (goin by your post , i doubt it.) 2. not enough food.

lack of food is what it probably is. the lighter green an the yellow is starting on the bottom of the girls an working its way up , so i would say lack of N but since you already said it , i would say just add whatever your planin on feedin um.

what are you gonna feed the girls ?

(i did ice before too. its a heavy feeder)

Thanks so much! I like to stick with fox farm..so i am using fox farm big bloom for the veg. since the soil might have some left over goodies in it should i go really lite on feeding to start or start right up since they seem to want it? again thanks a lot

by normal feeding not what the bottle says but what i would normally fully feed my other plants

wyteboi is right its a N deficiency, lime green plant yellowing and dieing leaves from the bottom up.
what your npk? you want to feed your plant something around 10-10-10 every other watering, its not overwatering or else the plant would be wilted but good guess. so if you have something like 24-8-16 you would feed only half of the full dose, that would give you an npk of 12-4-8 yah see. happy growing by the way i love your avatar vermontoker802 haha

If I were you?? Until you get a feel for the strain your talking about.. the best thing to do, is actually not even go by the 'advertised strengths' or mixes on the bottles or box. Best thing to do, is read what they recommend using.. and what strength.. and then do like half strength of whatever they suggest starting with.

This way you won't end up burning the roots/plant.

good luck.

Ok sounds good thanks for the responses! The nutes are 6-4-4. Yeah iv learned to not rely on the bottle....the hard way...but that's how we learn! Again thanks and ill let you all know how things go

so gave some nutes a little while ago had some run off that i tested the ph and the ph drop very low....i do not have a meter yet...but its down to like 4.5 maybe 5...this cant be good....

tested with the vile and ink drip...or whatever it is...so I can estimate what it is but cant be exact....

"run off" will never be accurate so dont worry bout that at all ...... you got good soil an feed them good food so your ph will stay intact unless you way overfeed or overwater.

in fact its very hard to get a ph reading from dirt with any meter on the market.

give um "full strength" for 2 waterings strait , then i personally would go every other water from there. you aint gonna over do it with that food.

i dont think those numbers are right for big bloom ?



soil

ok great thanks. I was confused the guy down at the local grow store made it sound important to have the run of perfect...but i have never got it perfect in the past....but this is my first serious operation going with a veg and flower room....but for the big bloom on the bottle thats what it say 6-4-4 witch seems kinda low from what others told me but im using it with the right soil so prob that makes up the difference?....thanks again for the help/input much appreciated!!

nvm from what iv been reading up on again i was a little confused...

"Fox Farm Big Bloom .03 - .1 - .11" ??



soil

sorry.....not big bloom.....Grow Big® Liquid Plant Food (6-4-4)

yea thats a very good an tested food for veg. 2 full doses in a row and she will reach for the sky again an get the dark green your wantin.




soil

ok awesome thanks!! sorry i really confused myself up there haha....

the "big bloom" is a VERY good catalyst for your soil , so you should add that to your line up. It gets the microbial activity really goin in the soil..... extremely important for "organics".

molasses is a good catalyst too.




soil

Yo im using miracle grow seedling soil(0.05,0.25,0.05, i think) and miracle grow plant food(21-7-16).

heres what mine look like they are shorter than yours.



All I am using is a 120 watt cfl and a 48 watt cfl (450 watt equiv). Not even horticulture grade bulbs, and these guys/girls are 1 week and 2-3 days old. So as you can see, it is hard to go wrong with good seeds

I agree with wyteboi on using only organics, but if you start a plant out on fermaldahide its not gonna know the difference between organic nutrients and scientifically engineered nutrient (my opinion). And as you can see with my plants they are perfectly fine. People say it can stress the plant but I know plenty of people who use it and get great results, but then again I also know people who use organics and get even better results. Use what you prefer, just showing you what MG fed plants look like

food is food , it all gets used by the plant in the same way, so i agree MG is just fine for a quick feed , just not all the time.

knowing that food is food , i still believe/know that the organics make the fruit taste better then any "instant food" out there.

i am studying to figure out the science behind it all ..... but until then i think i'll smoke one.........
