I had the nute load too high.
Tapwater.
The light too close.
and no online help.
You will do better than I did.

Well, that can be an issue,
it depends on the strains.

Hopefully they will grow at about the same rate.

How would you handle it if they don't? If one finishes 2 weeks before the other?

I aks because I value your opinion/tactics, Grasshopper....

I would just harvest buds closest to the light,
then you can let the rest catch up.
The problem is you can't flush this way.
since you will be feeding to get the under growth to continue.
You can flush the last of the harvest,
but not the first.

Once you stop nutes,
you cannot start them again
without burning the plant.

So you can't flush for a while
and then start re-growth.

Oh I gues you could,
but it would take patience
and a long long time.
faster to just start over.

Anyway you will be OK.

You can harvest all at once
or let one plant go
for another week or so.

A mature plant will slow down
and eventually stop growing without nutes,
but it will live for months.

If you want your buds to look like this,
I would plan on a long RO only flush.
Do not pH adjust the RO

This is White Widow

I thought you were responding in the form of a poem for a second :lol: Here's a haiku:

Once you stop the nutes
you cannot stop them again
or the plants will burn

No jackin'... -haters... lol.

I just got the same advice and it sounds like the way to go. I still need to read more about how to flush, but the guy I got the purp kush from said to use Clearex.

If you have time Earl, would you stop by my thread and direct me to some of that awesome knowledge you spread so often? If you don't, I understand. It's just that there are so many wannabe Green Thumbs and I'm weary of much advice. I know you are a fart smeller, and I trust your recommendations.

Thanks again

CFL's are fine as long as you use enough of them. 3000 lumens sq/ft is what you want to go by. ive got around 6000 in my little area. light is one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) pieces in your project, u dont want to fall short of it.

if your doing more than a few plants, i would probibly use a better light source like an HPS and/or MH.

good luck man, keep checking in!

DAMN!!!! lol o while at least you were high when u did it if not u woulda probably been even more pissed lol well im a newbie but i wouldn't think it would hurt the plant i mean it just probably didn't get enough of what it wanted for that day. if the plant got messed up you woulda seen it in a few hours i would think. how many plants do u have? im gonna have 4 or 5 little ones its only for personal so i would rather try more strains then concentrat on growing a ton of only one kind.

Day 50- Grow
Day 21- Flower

a little burnt, lights got a little to close. I built up the space so it wouldn't happen again.

as far as the nute situation, nothing seems damaged but we'll see what happens in the next few days. I added a tsb of bloom nute a long with 3ltr's of water today (1/4 strength). I was gunna go half or full but since the nute incident i figured slow down a little.

check it out, looking for feedback and advice!

Go over by the pharmacy shit, and look for First aid kits, they contain mylar blankets in them. they are pretty small all folded up but once you get them unfolded they are big enough to cover a person almost.
