so the mystery may be becoming more clear. i have always vegged with 10000 kelvin t5's. my plants are always squat and have pretty nice thick stems. someone on another site said that 10000 kelvin ins for aquariums which i was aware of but also said that water helps to filter out or dampen down...

lol. my kids are 19 and 17 and i delouse them monthly whether they need it or not... ;)

it has never been in flower so it should not be re-vegging. there are female pre-flowers though. i see the odd pistil hair here and there.

thanks dia. i am out of town half the week (sometimes more) so i need my sons to care for the plants. i want them to have some hands on too as they are interested. this is one finicky plant and i am having a hard time figuring out what she likes. story of my life...

i am using the green lite soil. the containers are 3 gallon felt pots. the pots are not hard so i think the roots have room. my super buckeyes are a bit root bound judging by the density of the root ball. yeah. i did not think it was a N lockout as the new growth is lighter green. this is a...

thanks dank. i am using tap water. i let it set out for a day or two before using it to water. the tds meter is around 100 usually. i do not have a water softener. i may be over watering. i am thinking i will let her dry out more than i usually do. i have thought i was dealing with ph nute lock...

any ideas? this plant is killing me. it seemed to be improving. now it is back to looking very poopy-like. i left sunday for work. my kids are caring for her. i gave her a light dose of nutes(about 1/2 the recommended dose of gobox grow and cal mag. i also changed 2 of my t5 bulbs from 2700...

out of the country at the moment so my sons are tending to the plants. still have not flipped to flower yet as i think the super buckeyes have more head room even in the event that they stretch a lot in flower. i hope i am right. the buckeye purple still has a ways to go. still... probably will...

todays pics. the buckeye purple is on the road to recovery and is getting bigger. the super buckeyes are getting ready for flipping to flower. if anyone has any experience with them and knows if they stretch much(or if it is phenotype dependent) please let me know. i was planning on flipping...

i sent you a private message a couple minutes ago...

thinking i will probably flip the super buckeyes next week sometime and wait on the buckeye purple until it gets bigger. the purple is coming along but it is still not growing very quickly. i think the purple looks like it is not getting enough nitrogen. maybe i will give it a slightly stronger...

the buckeye purple is starting to look healthy. it needs to do some catching up to the super buckeyes though. they supers are getting alternating nodes now so i think they are ready to flip to 12/12 but since i don't have separate veg and flower tents, they will need to be patient...

also, i believe the spritzing of the buckeye purple with diluted nutes for a foliar feed is helping. i am getting quite a bit of new healthy growth going. or it could be the ph. or the lighting. or the plants age. or aliens are helping out. i don't know. i change too many parameters too...

in an effort to encourage the buckeye purple to stretch out a bit, i gave the plant about 6 hours of exposure to a 26 watt 2700 kelvin bulb. it is back in the tent but i swapped out 2 of the 10000 kelvin bulbs for 2 3000 kelvin bulbs. so i have 2 10000 kelvin with uv a bulbs, 2 10000 kelvin w/o...

i think the buckeye purple is getting better. we have been feeding with a foliar mild nutrient spray. the super buckeyes are monsters. we started giving the purp some darkness to try to stimulate some stretch today. we are also working on tying the supers down but it is a chore. a good chore...
