~The Vumar Grow~ RDWC

alright alright alright dutchmaster... Things are back in check. I've gotta cut back a lot of veg and I am just hoping it doesnt stress them out that much. I've got a few lower branches to take off... I hope they don't hurt too much. I'll post decent pictures if I can. Still rocking the Iphone5 w/ a cracked back =/

Still rocking the s3 dude. Get on my lebvel of broke

Says the guy with awesome macro shots that steals bandwidth =) lol.

I have a Samsung WB2000f

The left is Silver Kush, the right is Cole Train and behind those are (left and out of sight... tall sativas covering) the Sharksbreath and Green Crack in the back right.

Nice. Bushy as fuck

Wow man those are going OFF!!!!
Great job man they look so lush and healthy.
Have you flipped to flower yet? Or thinking of soon?

Yeah flipping to flower here soon sometime. I don't want to have to FIM again early flower =( but my silver kush is going to out-grow everything. I kicked in some bloom booster a few days ago and again yesterday (they eat a lot... awkward EC's with huge plants) so hopefully that'll smoothly transition into flower.



@firsttimeARE great suggestion w/ the inline fan... I love my Vortex (even though you like S&P or w/e).

Glad you enjoy it. I always try to go for high-end brands, you know established companies who didnt get into a field just for weed growing.

It's all preference.

This looks like a good place for a paclo product!

I'm using paclo in place of my base nutrients and only foliar spray with it once every three days. no big deal.


Yeah I'd never use a paclo product knowingly.

I am not sure what the deal is with bigger plants. They are absolute monsters but there is something funny still going on behind the scenes here. It mainly happens with the lower branches that are not getting light. Leaves fall off where they are not getting much light or any at all. In some cases it looks like they are just decaying or something. With a hint of nutrient issue in the middle of the plant but really great growth at the tops. The plants also appear to be very floppy, they do not take back to their original position once you push them down a little.

Maybe I am underfeeding them? 1.5 EC should be a decent amount. It can't be nute lock out or a PH issue. I know this because I flushed the plants for 3-4 days and they showed signs of micro def's and nitrogen def. They bounded back quick once I fed them again but than continued to do the same behavior as described above. So, I'm going to drop dutchmaster completely and run a basic dyna-grow line to start and finish my flowers.

Re-reading TLO by The Rev again and watching videos on different bacterial and fungi based teas.... Thinking I might try a soil run again once I get my taxes back =D (waits around for government...)

Any ideas here guys?

Input would be sweet please

Plants routinely drop leaves that aren't producing. Shade is a prime reason.

The leaves shown don't look so unhappy, maybe I can't see the issue in the pics.

My plants drop bottom foliage all the time. It yellows and dies. Fan leaves fall off easily.

Sounds normal to me

Okay, I can dig that. Any idea why the plants seem to flop around? Its annoying to brush by one of them and they stay bent over-ish for hours.

Its like when you over water a plant in soil I guess.... but thats obv not an issue here.

Hmmm turgor is weak. You use silica at all?

I know that can help plants turgidity
