Ended up being the advice that worked, all I did was put in a little research to see what problems low pH causes and how to fix them. Thanks a ton!

Some may be surprised to hear it, but the MG Organic that I've been using hasn't given me any problems at all as far as nute burn. I think the NPK is something like .25-.10-.25 with a two month release, or at least somewhere near that range, regular MG burned the crap out of a previous plant...

Just to update, Snow White is doing well. What I did worked, the damage on the leaves has stopped spreading, and the plant seems to be slowly returning to normal growth. The K-deficiency made her stretch a bit, but I'll take that over her being sick or dead. I started LST for both plants, since...

I totally agree with this, I just started LST this weekend, you can already see the plants responding to getting all that extra light along the stems. They're both about 4 inches tall, 5 weeks old has 8 or 9 nodes and 3 weeks old has 6. I tied off about an inch above soil, right below the lowest...

Through the help of much reading, I've come to the conclusion that my Snow White's problem is a potassium deficiency. To (hopefully) solve this problem I've flushed the soil with about a gallon of water, and when it's dry again I will feed her a well balanced diet to help her out in that...

Through the help of much reading, I've come to the conclusion that my Snow White's problem is a potassium deficiency. To (hopefully) solve this problem I've flushed the soil with about a gallon of clean water, and when it's dry again I will feed her a well balanced diet to help her out in...

This is my lighting setup as described before, except my zip ties were too restrictive, I'm now using a piece of nylon rope to tie down my lights, this gives me freedom to twist and turn them to get better light. The plant to the left (Indica) is almost 5 weeks old since breaking soil, and the...

I understand all too well, I'll try to pass along any cost saving tips I come across.

I'll post pics of the reflector I made later, works like a charm, my ladies love it. My older plant is about 5 weeks, and its lush and bushy with lots and lots of side growth. You can use the flouros you have now horizontally along either side of your grow space as well as a CFL, MH, HPS, etc...

Convict, I started my grow around the same time as you, have you had any problems so far? I'm fighting a pH related nute deficiency right now in one of my plants, but it should be okay. I'm going to check out your journal when I'm done posting here. Hell yeah, I'm on a pretty tight budget too...

Being a new grower (as I am too) affords you one thing especially, and that's the opportunity to learn a lot, I know I have. If your stems grow too tall because of stretching, you can use a temporary fix of cutting a straw to the right height, then slitting it down the side. Carefully spread the...

Things that I've learned are absolutely necessary: Lights close to the plants, I try to keep them at about 2 inches away. I use a homemade light setup of 4 26w CFL's cool white/daylight 6500k spectrum (I plan to add 2 42w CFL's warm white 2700k for flower), twisted into some socket adapters and...

I was told by a friend that grows too that closer node spacing is an early sign of the plant being female, but I don't know how accurate that is. The best way to tell strain is when they get a little bit bigger, the fan leaves are shorter and fatter on indicas, which tend to grow shorter and...

Unfortunately, this is an ongoing problem, only a couple days into experiencing it when the pics were posted. The pH testing/adjusting stuff I ordered should be delivered today unless it's been held up by all the snow in my area lately. At least I can say this grow is doing great in at least one...

Here are pics of both plants, you can see what I was talking about earlier. Snow White - 2 weeks And Indiana Jones - 4 weeks

This is what I mean.

My generic indica under the same growing conditions is doing fine, not exhibiting any of these problems. I have yet to test pH for lack of having a meter or test kit, but I ordered a digital meter and it is coming via UPS 2nd Day, I should have it by 1/13. I'm just hoping it comes in time enough...

The only big box hardware near me is Home Depot, and I was told by an employee that they don't sell them. That being said, I went online and ordered a pH meter, a bag of lime, and a 100x scope for future use, all with 2 day shipping. Hopefully whatever is going on won't have too bad of an effect...

My Snow White plant is now 2 weeks old. The lowest 2 sets of fan leaves are drooping and yellowing with brown spots/patches. Can anyone help, please? I'm not sure what it is or how to fix it. I know it's kind of a vague description, so I will post a pic when I get home from work. My 4 week old...
