oh really? we'll ill deff bury her deeper tmrw then and i might give the scraping thing a try too. judging by the new pics though do you think she's doing any better medi? do i still have to worry about shock now or do you think she's adjusted now?

Typically the 1st 24 hours are telling as far as transplant shock goes, if they don't wilt by that time, than you are probably okay.

yur fine. just keep the light close. and it takes more than cfl to compete to a hid. when they compare the actual wattages like the 42 watt cfl to be equal to a 100 watt, thats not comparing to 100 watt hid, its a reg houser light and has no penetration. so its going to take way way more than 10 of those to be a 400 hid.

yea, when it comes time to flower i have a 600watt hps for that, lol.

oops, that reply was supposed to go to NoDrama

k soo,... im having a new problem since transplant. there is more new growth but the oval leaves at the very bottom are turning yellow at the tips. what does this mean? is she hungry or what can i do?

thats a natural sign for those round leaves...called cotyledins ...to yellow up. this is when i start my feeds. you just went to new soil so i owuld wait a week still. those will always yellow and fall off. sometimes even the next set tghat only habe the single serated finger

k,so whats your opinion on these exact plant food spikes? i know i read other people saying that theyre crap but i wanted to get a pros opinion on them.

your right they'r crap and the wrong N_P_K values for vegitative growth.

so should i go with something like this? its 20-20-20 all purpose with micronutrients and water soluble.

what do you think medi? ive come to trust you, lol.

best nutes ive found for the price is jacks classic....really good nutes at a great price...i got the duo...was about $16 for both 8 oz tubs of the grow and bloom...which has lasted me 3 grows now...and i have barely used any of it...it goes a long way and works great...that will cover pretty much all you will need for veg and flower...maybe a couple of small additives along the way...maybe calmag if needed...but this seems to take care of all my plants needs......http://www.jacksclassic.com/order_now.html

well that stuff i just posted there is at my local shop and is only 10.99$ for 1kg which is all i really need for now. i already have the MG spikes but theyre no good so if that 20-20-20 water soluble stuff would work i can just take the sticks i have back and exchange them for the water soluble 20-20-20

dont use mg anything but periltie. ya them sticks suk., you dont want a slow release food as those are...maybe outdoor if you cant get at them often but not indoor where you can feed when you want.
the other tub ive never seen or kniow anything about. it would be better than the sticks though. you dont have a grow shop near you???

This will help.... http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=11688

well no not a dedicated garden center during this time of year but we have walmart and everything. that tub of 20-20-20 stuff is at canadian tire. so do you think that would be good to use? or is that too powerfull. cause some things im reading says use 20-20-20 and others are saying its may burn your plant.

Got a Rona nearby? they sell General hydroponics brand stuff.

since when does rona sell GH. not out here they dont. not sayin no, just they dont anywhere in vancouver.

ok so go ahead and use that 20/20/20 if thats all you can get. just dont go above 50% dose for feeds. if the soil you use has foods in it dont feed for about a month...3 to 4 weeks.

sorry for the late reply. k so, im gonna go with the 20/20/20 stuff and the soil i have her in now is 12/08/12 i believe and i just put some more fresh soil in about 2 days ago. so do you think that will hold her off for a couple days or should i go ahead with the feeding in a day or two? she's still looking nice and green and is getting a bit bigger but now i see some of the leaves are starting to curl upward. is that a sign of hunger or?

ok what kinda curl..like the outer serated edges are cupping up. like a canoe.???. or is it just the tips of each serated edge. or the whole outer edge is up. if its the whole length its usulay a heat issue. if its just the tips of each edge then its humidity, either to high or to low. leaves cant transpire

pics make this so much easier instead of guessing. i cantg realy say for the food as i cant see how big or how old it is now. and i do recall what the soil was but im assuming its got food in it sincyou dont realy have a grow store near you.

K, i dont think youre gonna be able to tell much from these pics where my camera is so screwedd. But, it seems the newer growth is coming in and its almost like the leaves are praying. theyre kind folding up to resemble a conoe. and the older leaves are still flat but the serated edges are curling upward
