    soil settled more than expected; repot vs leave them alone?

    Pics taken yesterday, 74 days from starting seeds in a filter. Gertrude never looked great or grew much after repotting but did recover somewhat. Ginger seems happy if small. Both Gnomos should finish in about a week or so, I'm thinking. No idea how much longer for Kalinda, have never grown...

    soil settled more than expected; repot vs leave them alone?

    Haven't been able to post pics. The AK (I'm calling her Kalinda) is a much leggier type apparently. I kept having to move things around in the cab because it would shoot up into the lights again practically overnight, then last week I finally just bent the stem (and what a stem! ). It's...

    soil settled more than expected; repot vs leave them alone?

    Quick update: have been witholding water until the pots are light, making sure it's got enough C when I do water, and have been witholding food. Two of the remaining three, one Gnomo and the Afghan Kush, are looking swell, healthy and green but not as dark as they were and starting to surge...

    soil settled more than expected; repot vs leave them alone?

    Yeah, these really are far behind. I posted the wrong thread link before, I posted the last decent grow I had in this one https://www.rollitup.org/seed-strain-reviews/263063-kannabia-seeds-gnomo-automatic.html and my pics at 5 weeks look a hell of a lot better than these do now. I also had...

    soil settled more than expected; repot vs leave them alone?

    thanks tek, yeah, I felt like it was overfeeding, but I went ahead and fed again today cause I've skipped a couple during the crisis and what spliffbuddy said made me nervous about not enough N. I guess if they start looking crappy again I'll know to hold off again. My last grow took longer...

    soil settled more than expected; repot vs leave them alone?

    Hey spliff, the heat is not a problem; I have an oscillating ionizer fan on them 24/7 and the thermometer which is near the HO t5 fixture (20" sunshine systems) is consistently between 72 and 75. The tops are not stressed fortunately. There are also two older LED sidelights. I've been feeding...

    soil settled more than expected; repot vs leave them alone?

    HELP :-( It was a bad week. Everybody was looking sick (some claw shaped leaves, some leaves turning yellow starting from the bottom and then with brown patches) and I was hoping to post pics on Thursday for you guys to help me figure out what's going wrong, but my camera died. I decided...

    Just a quick Q - how do you cut holes in your plastic storage tubs?

    I know a lot of people here use lidded plastic storage bins as mini grow closets or for hydroponics. What do you usually use to cut holes in these bins? I've got a jigsaw but it leaves a rough edge and might be overkill so if there's a better way I'm all for it. Thanks!

    soil settled more than expected; repot vs leave them alone?

    Yeah, I didn't know for a while that autos do better not being repotted much, but I did know that before starting this grow. As I say, this setup and these pots did well once before (I posted some pics from that grow here...

    soil settled more than expected; repot vs leave them alone?

    spliffbuddy--that's kind of what I was thinking. I'm already limiting them to a small pot so I didn't want to overcramp them. They are only just starting to show sex so I figured I'd better do it now. (I also try to plant by the moon and today was a good day for this sort of thing)...

    soil settled more than expected; repot vs leave them alone?

    Ok, well, never mind. I went ahead and did it. The roots were starting to poke through the fiberglass screening I folded over the bottom holes for ventilation so I didn't remove that. The soil kept its shape well when I turned them over in my hand so I was able to just hold them upside down...

    soil settled more than expected; repot vs leave them alone?

    I have four auto plants that are doing well except that the soil settled more than I expected and I feel they are both too cramped and might have problems with the pot rim. Only two are showing flower threads. 3 are Gnomo, 1 is an Afghan Kush auto I'm pretty sure. I know the pots are small...

    bulb SNAFU - unplanned spectrum change

    Thanks for the input. I felt like it might not matter except I didn't want to confuse the plants. My last grow was a wreck, we have nothing now and can't afford to screw this one up! Thinking I'll swap the bulbs back out since now I have two sets of 6500k. I'll save the 2700s for if I ever...

    bulb SNAFU - unplanned spectrum change

    I've got a sunlight systems light with two double-type T5 bulbs. I had a spare set of 2700k bulbs but have done two small auto grows previously using only the 6500k and never swapping them out. I saw no need to really, the plants didn't seem to require a switch. Unfortunately I have some...

    Afghan Kush Ryder - WTF lets SEED ONE

    Just saw a yt vid where a guy who does this a lot recommends the Tiresias Mist over regular CS, and says there are other ingredients in it besides. Says he's never had his own seeds or any he sells out get reported back as male. Good find, HighLow.

    Afghan Kush Ryder - WTF lets SEED ONE

    Mostly I referred to the price because some people on Amazon seemed to feel it was going to take several bottles to get through one seeding project and they were pissed about it. If you were able to get all that from one bottle, then well done! Do let us know how the germination goes with some...

    Afghan Kush Ryder - WTF lets SEED ONE

    I remember reading an article somewhere describing a very similar process using colloidal silver on one isolated branch of the plant. Colloidal silver is used in alternative health both internally and externally, so I suspect if you get a reputable brand it is safe. It should be less expensive...

    how old are the people in here ?

    46, not sure how old I look--maybe about 40. Feel a lot younger than I did 3-4 years ago when I tried growing weed to save my own life.

    Tiny grow - good organic liquid fertilizer that comes in small quantities?

    Ok, so according to this thread: https://www.rollitup.org/nutrients/394051-does-fox-farm-nutrients-go.html the Grow Big at least is probably fine. I can get started from there.
