Started post with pictures but trying to post here. don't get the same manage picture thing here

posted some more pics too from last fri

click on the go advanced and scroll down to manage files.. upload files from there.. i would go ahead and start with 1/4 str nutes.. and wow i thought mine was bad at 250 ppm.. i honestly think u will be fine because i never tested anything on my soil runs and never had much go wrong.. (besides bud growing into light bulb burning the shit out of 1 bud top).. post some pictures and ill tell ya where to start.. u want to flip to 12/12 once ur screen is about half full so depending where they are at now u can back track from the 12/12 chart.. id say probally start at week 2 schedule at 1/4 str! reason im saying week 2 is because if they havent started filling screen but just poking through it i would guess mayb 2 weeks to get to 12/12.. and fox farm chart runs a 4 week veg..

Ok my girls are 23 days from seed, where do I start on FF feeding schedule? They look bigger than most pictures of girls that I have seen. Oh I will start a post and post pictures not sure how to do it with a message.

Just read a PPM post probably got nervous on the water. Tap water is about 400 ppm. checked town water I have was 300, checked bottled water was 13. Liked 13 better. Probably thinkg to much on this. Any way I need to water tonight, think girls are telling me time for nutes. Little brown spots on few leaves. Faint spots and couple leaves. 1 plant shows none yet, shes a crazy bitch. All 3 big plants look great! put screen in 1 cab. FCJ is still alive and lookin good. Have her in with Liberty Haze which is smallest of other ones.

hey i wouldnt worry about buying water.. in soil it doesnt matter as much as it helps to buffer the ph.. i used to buy water in soil for like the first half of my first grow but then switched to just regular tap water, never phd never had any problems.. i even used to let my water sit out 24 hrs to let chlorine evaporate.. eventually i stopped all that and used regular tap water and had no problems.. just trying to save u the hassle.. u can surely buy it if u want not going to hurt anything..

after looking at ur post again those pots will be perfect and plants are not too deep.. i would make sure to keep runoff pot empty so that theres no source of water for those roots to grab otherwise they will probally start growing out of the pot which u dont want..

thought hydro would be easier and less work.. ha def not true!! soil i only had to water every 3 days and only watered what they need.. in hydro i have to fill 5, 5 gallon buckets every 2-3 days! fuck my life lol need bigger space for bigger resevoirs! the benifit in hydro is it is kind of like giving a dog unlimited amounts of food if its there they will eat it! so they def drink alot more water which in return make bigger faster buds! lol im high and rambleing lol

this hydro thing is def alot harder than soil until its dialed in.. kinda hard to fuck up in soil.. i suspect each grow to get better and better.. little depressed on the light bleaching i caused early on and the cal/mag issues.. either way buds still look amazing.. live and learn cal/mag should be in tomarrow so i can start adding to my new girls.. def use alot more nutes in hydro.. already went through a quart of big bloom for just one harvest! lasted me over 3 harvests last time.. got a gallon comming in the mail but i also changed nutes a little more than i needed to at the beginning.. really tempted to go back to soil but i know once i get this hydro down it will producce bigger faster yields! plus ive got to much money and time wrapped up in the hydro now..

hey sorry been busy tending girls havent been on much.. are roots comming out of pot? you def want to cover any light exposure to roots.. not really good for roots to grow out of pots in soil expecially this early on.. i used to get mayb a few roots poking out of pots towards end of harvest in soil.. if anything mayb planted a little to deep or holes in bottom of pot could be to big.. lemme check out ur pics again to c ur pot size.. and no real need to measure runoff or nething i used to just fill milk jugs for watering and used a solo cup to water each plant.. water a each plant a little at a time to let it soak in.. (1 solo cup or whatever per plant and start over just until u get some runoff.. my girls are doin good def wish i would have used cal/mag in beginning of flowering.. leaves look like shit.. o well live and learn..

How are you girls? Mine are really taking off! Roots at bottom of HGK pot already. Covered up overflow pot so no light. Is that right thing to do?

Ya Gave 2 of them 3 quts water both had guessing 3 cups run off. Watered slow got some shit from GF. LOL, she thinks its funny that I baby them and talk to them! I tell her its all about air exchange! LH perking up right away, HGK looks saaweeet, going to water BR tomorrow. Shes turning into a 2 headed monster after initial stress!

look great! i would say you could probally go ahead and water them if its been 5 days.. i wouldnt worry to much that 1 isnt too bad.. my guess would be that its a little dry and or a little to hot.. they do that with heat stress.. possibly air blowing to hard and evaporating the water from the leaves.. if they dont feel dry i wouldnt be to worried about it and i would be safe to say your ok watering twice a week.. usually they wilt or get droopy when they need water so mayb check to see how close that 1 is to lights/direct wind.. no worries tho looking great!

Just started thread in Newbie central with pictures.

How in the fuck do I upload picture to a message

and on a side note holy shit do i fucking hate stringing up scrogs lol i strung up the rest of my screens tnight (4 more).. o also put 4 iced grapefruit into flowering on tues. and got my mothers seperated and have c99 in another system for a 3 week veg now.. finally getting close to sittin on auto pilot!

getting close!! have a serious cal/mag issue which pry started a few weeks ago and has progressed bad but not really a huge deal.. buds are still doing fine and ive read that they will be fine mayb just a little smaller yield... either way still looking great! i dint think i was going to have to use cal/mag as i have hard water but once the calmag issue starts it doesnt really clear up so i know for my next runs to start running it during veg to prevent in flowering.. dont need to worry about it in soil but with using coco in the hydro it stores alot of the calcium not allowing the plant to absorb what it needs.. luckily its a common problem and harvest shouldnt be affected much except shitty fan leaves..

Not sure how big pots are but went thru 1 big bag of soil for 3 plants.

Transplant went awesome! 1 plant drooped alittle but perked back up in couple hrs. All 3 had good growth in following 24hrs. Lots of leaves. Ill get pictures soon. FCJ has 1St set of leaves out, struggling along. BR basically split growth after original stress, looks like it was topped, lookin good. They are short but look great and have lots branches, leaves coming!

how did the transplant go? just a tip not sure if u did or how everything worked out just thought id throw it out to ya that it works best to transplant a day or 2 after a watering so the soil sticks together.. makes it easier to transplant not to dry where it crumbles but not to wet where it stick to the cups and damages roots..
