I don't think we're talking about the same pro-mix. I've seen some pro-mix all over this forum and it sounds like good shit, but the bag I got is not listed on the website, the bag looks completely different and the bag contradicts itself about whether or not it has nutrients in it already... Its just some cheap shit I got at the local garden store..


Edit: mine is this crap.

Can I mix it with a chemical nute such as my plant-prod?

biobizzs website says no

Hmm, looking at different things the only reason given is that it will apparently kill beneficial bacteria in the biobizz.. So what is the worst that could happen if I tried mixing?

V3 is really looking hermie to me...

Yep, definitely see it now. Pull it?

Don't really see any other options.. Guess it'll have to go..

problem developed over a few hours!! discoloration of leaves, an orange tinge to the tips and along sides. pics:

Looks like overfeeding/high temps. Maybe a Ph issue? Do the leaves feel papery/crispy or soft and moist?

Flush with triple the volume of your pots w/ tap water. Then feed at 1/2 strength as normal. They'll wilt a little from overwatering but you'll have the burn under control. Make sure to let it dry out some before watering again.

OK, flushed with tap water, going to see how they react, then try giving them a small dose of the 25-10-10 and a small amount of Epsom salt when they are ready for more water

Hey guys, sorry I haven't had time for any updates, but I will be adding some pics later on tonight or tomorrow.

ok, here's an update for everyone. first off, here's V2 and V3 in flower, not looking like i'm going to get much off them, so it's a good thing they are just bagseed.
this is where the climate usually stays in the flower tent:

And here's the Master kush, planted about a month ago, but were not doing so well on shelf, so just sitting in a closet area now under 2 3500k 23W cfls, one 6500k 13W cfl, and an 18W unknown(bluish, so high 'k' rating) floro tube. i will be replacing the 3500k bulbs with 6500k bulbs as soon as i can get them without ordering online.


Guess it's worth noting I was wrong about one of them being Hermie, just glad I gave it some extra time

OK, so I came across either some fungus gnats or aphids in my veging plants' soil, so I went and got some 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide. Now before I do anything I want to confirm the measurements. From what I have read, I gather it should be about 2ml H202 per gallon of water?

Also I read not to use chlorinated tap water. Should I use boiled tap water?

quick update: the master kush are doing good, only have pics of one of them rigt now:

and the two bagseeds in flower are doing great, although very small.. today is day 29 of flower:

Decided to fim the stronger of the two master kush today, maybe try to get a few clones from it after it grows nice branches. Haven't really decided yet, still have a blue cheese seed and a C99 seed that I need room for..

Day 35 of flowering, noticed some seed development.. kinda mystified as to where the pollen came from, my only guess would be my first thought about one of them being hermie was right.. only there's no nanners or pollen sacs that i can find.. oh well, here's the pics:
i deciced to LST everything in my veg area. here are the 2 master kush, the are roughly 30 days into veg, looking really healthy, although still quite small as i am running 3500k color temp bulbs in veg at the moment because i haven't been able to find 6500k bulbs in my area yet.





and the other 2 in veg, also added a blue cheese seed today, no pics of that because theres nothing to see yet.

okay, it's about week 6 now, and V2 looks ready to me. under 60x i see alot of cloudy trichs and a few amber ones, and the smell... mmmmmmm... here's some pics tell me what you think.
also, the pistils look more white in these pics than they actually are.. most (maybe 80%) are orange/brown

And its worth noting that this was grown from random seeds, so they aren't great quality genetics as far as I know


Also, I know week 6 sounds early , wasn't really expecting to be anywhere near anything yet myself, and the other one in flower is nowhere near done (no amber trichs, lots of clear still). Was just looking at them a bit every few days and yesterday one had almost no clear trichs left, amber ones here and there, and a sea of nice cloudy ones. Sorry if I sound repetitive, just trying not to sound like a noob.. I KNOW 6 weeks sounds early lol. I'm not just out of patience.. (Maybe a little, but that's not where this is coming from lol)

Anyone? I don't want to chop without a second opinion lol
