2nd 400w Cabinet Grow, Unknown Strain?

Triple6smoker · Feb 14, 2009

I have a 2x2x4 enclosure with a 400w hps lamp. This is the 2nd grow in the cab. The plants are from bagseed (the bag was supposidly kush) but really I have no idea what strain they are. The first grow was from the same seeds and went really well. 2 plants got 150 grams dried. I have grown these plants a little differently but something is going kinda or really wrong. Feel free to post on the journal any comments or questions. All opinions are welcome.

any pictures so we can see the problem you are talking about.

I have to play a little catchup on the photos. Here is from dec 12 to dec 30

2 of 4 were twice the height so I chopped the tops to grow 2 tips

Triple6smoker · Feb 14, 2009

Plants hit 10 inche so I transferred them into flowering room. Light was 24 inches away. plants were all still looking good.

Triple6smoker · Feb 14, 2009

Plants still seem to look good. The two chopped tops have sprouted well i think.

Triple6smoker · Feb 14, 2009

Ahhhh!. I have now brought the lights down to about 12 inches from tops, and have transplanted into bigger growbags. Before transplant they started to look a bit droopy. I transplanted the same way as the 1st grow. The problem progressed though.

Not looking good. I did lots of resarch but have nobody to ask questions too. I thought it may be a nitrogen def so I fed them some high nitrogen nutes on feb 9 but no improvement. How long does it take to recover if that was actually what it was?

Well, 2 babies are showing a little love but the other two are ???

i'm no expert but it looks like a few deficencies. Maybe Overwatering + nitrogen + lower min def? HOpefully someone with some knowledge about this will enlighten you but for now i don't think its a deadly problem atm but will be if you let it last for more than a week. How are you watering them? I see my plants change 24-72 hours if they like/don't like something.

Check your PH in both the soil and water
That will lock out nutrients
and IMO you should add some purlite
to the soil
Good Luck

i say overwatering

Triple6smoker · Feb 14, 2009

What do you mean by low min, "overwatered" I m not certain about the water level my dirt from the transplant was very heavy but not too wet and it doesnt seem to get any lighter. I watered straight water after transplant and have watered once lightly since with miracle grow ( high in nitrogen to treat what i thought was the problem)and dirt is still heavy and feels wet. ???????

Triple6smoker · Feb 14, 2009

when i mixed the soil bf transplant i used 3 cups perlite per pot, should it have been more mabey

growman3666 · Feb 14, 2009

sometimes a good transplant into good organic soil rich in what a plant needs and a little flushing is all you need to get it back on track

a lot of times newer growers tend to get extremely anxious and automaticaly try to find a solution, they add more nutes to the soil and end up making the lockup worse.

Triple6smoker · Feb 14, 2009

This is my second grow with the same seeds. My first grow ,plants never had problems. pics are in my profile, only difference is the soil and the flowering nutes. I was told the grotek is better?

growman3666 · Feb 14, 2009

growtek is probably best but more margin for error, but they both will do the trick

Triple6smoker · Feb 14, 2009

if I over mixed the grotek nutes could this have happened? Because the nutes are 0-50-30 compared to before wich was 0-5-4. for only a couple gallons of water it is hard to mix properly? By the way growman nice pics. Itl take me a while to go through your journal though

growman3666 · Feb 14, 2009

yes yes there is your problem i believe your roots are locked out, i would suggest flushing, or transplanting

edit,
