simulate autumn light cycle conditions associated with the already reduced 12/12 light cycle. I am experimenting here.

Yeah, they are not much to look at and buds they have not. The goal here is seeds. I am tired of spending way too much for them.

I agree with that. I get lucky and find seeds in stuff from the meds store. Just last night I some weed I really like and I was thinking I wish I could grow it. Busting up the last bud, I hear tink,tink, two seeds. I find if there is one or two seeds, I had a half oz, in the bag, there about 80 percent female. A lot of seed 50/50 female. I have too many plants right now, come on purple haze it the big one in my sig. It not the end of the world, you will do better, I am on my 4th grow and what I know now compared to the 1st growis like night and days. Keep heading on....rw

When the leaves started curling up on the sides I thought it was from the heat, but I got some fans and it is generally only around 80F in the tent.

I checked the PH and it was a tad under 7.0 on the meter. I've just been feeding it about a 1/2 strength veg solution (general hydro liquid).

I just flushed the soil out and am going to flush it some more, but I'm not sure if this thing is going to survive. I had it under 18/6 for a week or two before I found this thread then I just switched it to 12/12 to see what would happen.

Any ideas on what I should do, or should I just chop it and start with a new seed?

Thanks.

By the way, for lighting I'm just using a 90W UFO LED and I did have it just a couple inches from the top of the plant. It really doesn't give off any heat, but I'm wondering if the light might still be too strong that close. It does seem like the top leaves are the ones curling inwards...

Anyway, I flushed the soil some more and I'm going to put it back in the tent, but I'll move up the light to about 8" away or so to see if anything improves. If it does, too bad I won't know if it was from the flush or from moving the light, but I'm hoping that someone here can give me some insight.

Over fertilized and/or watered
Click to expand...
In general, if I'm using 2gal pots, how frequently should I feed/water and how what quantity? I'm sure there must be variables, but I'm just looking for a safe rule of thumb for now.

Second, since I almost definitely did over fertilize, will the flushing I did help me here?

I've yet to grow a plant from beginning to end, although I've only tried once before using hydro (ebb/flow). I changed to soil because I read it was more "forgiving," but I guess I still at least need some basic info or it isn't forgiving enough for me!

Thanks in advance to whoever helps me out of this mess!

For new growers I recommend a digital food scale. $20 walmart. Weigh a pot of your soil dry, then you know what dry is. Once it's within a couple oz of the dry weight, you know it's time to water. After a couple months you will get a feel for it and not need a scale, although I still use one and I've grown many many times. I just like pushing it to the line.

Theres all different methods of checking when it's time to water, some good, some not. I'm just giving you what's the most accurate. Good luck though.

And yeah flushing out the extra nutes is all you can do.

day 62 12/12 light cycle Nirvana Raspberry Cough seeds:


http://www.kindgreenbuds.com/marijuana-strains/raspberry-cough.html

These plants are 62 days into growth using the 12/12 from seed method.
10 seeds were germinated, 9 sprouted. Ten days revealed 2 males and 7 females. 15 days showed male pollen, and female flowers. At day 17 the females were pollinated and the males were discarded. At day 50 the light cycle was changed to 10/14. Four females survived the grow showing very promising seed bracts. Lights used are one 150 watt HPS and 12, 28-watt CFL's. Nutes used Schult's plant food 10-15-10 every third watering, with epsom salt every second. Temperature kept at 82F

you need to start over with much bigger pots or better yet, a simple hydro system

Right going to start planning my next grow which is going to be in coco so will need a bit of info from you good people if you don't mind.
The coco i will be using is either the canna coco or biobizz coco, does anybody know which one would be best to use??
Nutes im going to use are the canna coco a&b, rhizotonic,boost accelerator,molasses and pk13/14, are there any more that will be helpful to use?
Pots are going to be 6L airpots. are they big enough?
I think thats all for now, thanks in advance for your help

here's what i run.

canna coco pro+
canna a+b
rhiz
calmag

canna pk 13/14 i have replaced with hammerhead pk 4/10
cannazyme can be replaced with any multi enzyme really... i want to try h&g multi zyme next

also towards the end i usually give a bit of overdrive.. although some prefer ripen which i may give a try too, as its cheap.

start off at 1/4 strength and work my way up.. if you are using the calmag make sure you add it first
