hello .. this is my first grow ... i just found this site and i thought i'd give a thread

i'm in 1 month of growth since germination , i think everything looks ok

or not ... that's why i'm here !

i've uploaded some pictures of my babies since they were born

until week 2 i think .... if my roommate brings the camera i'll put some pics of how they look now

i've allready moved them to bigger pots

looks like you need to bring the lights closer to the plant? they are going to streach and the stems will be weak..do you have a fan on them,,light breeze? & what is your lighing like? do you have ventalation? in & out?

Ser0 Products · Dec 28, 2007

yeah they stretched a lil bit... if anyhting, when u transplant bury the stems in soil up 2 the first leave... the stem will grow more roots and become part of the root system... but also bring down the lights...

Very stretched, but developing nicely. You can tell they're a bit stunted by the position of the lights, but they're doing damn fine (just a lil delayed).

If you're using CFL's (I think so, by the colour and intensity of the light...) they need to be within 3" of the plant leaves!

They've also got some skinny stems... You should get some air blowing across them!

pumped for this thread

Zenmaster420 · Dec 28, 2007

thanks .... yeah cfl .. but i'm waiting for an hps .... here some pics of how they look now

no ventilation inside .... but ... in 2008 ... i mean in a couple of days

) i will add ventilation

i gave them some light nutrients ... since they where little

kagenical · Dec 28, 2007

Ahh, well, get a few computer fans blowing around in there, and get your HPS goin, and they'll be lovely.

turkster · Dec 28, 2007

they look better,,however your stems are weak...you must use a fan on them, not to heavy & not to close, just a nice breeze...good luck

Ser0 Products · Dec 28, 2007

did u top them? i noticed on the new plants, they looked topped.

Zenmaster420 · Dec 28, 2007

yes i did top the bigger ones .... i hope i did it right ....

Zenmaster420 · Jan 1, 2008

i think i added too much nutrient to on plant .... or i don't know ..... the thing is that the leaves are burned ..... i do not hve pic ... srry what should i do ?

email468 · Jan 1, 2008

If the bottom leaves are burning/yellowing/etc.. flush, flush, flush.
if the top leaves are burning - your lights may be too close.

Zenmaster420 · Jan 1, 2008

how do i flush >!? i don't know how to do that ... help ?

email468 · Jan 1, 2008

I am not a soil grower so hopefully someone with experience will chime in. But from what i understand, you purposefully overwater your plant so the water drains through the soil quickly to remove any toxic nutrient/salts build-up. I think i've heard the amount of water to use is about three times the amount the pot can hold but again - i've never done it so you may want to double-check with soil growers.

Magnesium (Mg) deficiency ... i read about it in the growFAQ .... This can be quickly resolved by watering 1 teaspoon Epsom salts/gallon of water. Until you can correct nutrient lockout, try foliar feeding. That way the plants get all the nitrogen and Mg they need. The plants can be foliar feed at ½ teaspoon/quart of Epsom salts (first powdered and dissolved in some hot water) ....... Either add a 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of epsom salts or lime (both will effectively reduce the lockout or invest into a reverse osmosis water filter

i got the point ...... but whot is that epsom salts , iknow what salt means .... but epsom ?! english is not my main language ... i understand a lot of things .... but epsom salt ?! can anyone help me ?

some pics .... i didn't have time for pics .... but the weekend is comming and i will upload more

Epsom salts on Wikipedia:
Magnesium sulfate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Man those are looking beautiful. I don't see anything to worry about; most people worry about every little thing and it winds up not meaning jack. I would suggest repotting them in a larger pot; as large as they are they are bound to have a nice root system and it needs room for your plant to grow.

Zenmaster420 · Jan 5, 2008

thanks email468 for the info .... i allways forget that the INTERNET contains all the data u need

)

potpimp : my plants say thanks for the compliment

i unfortunately can not repot them because i do not have the necessary space .... but i'll try to do something

i am waiting for another week to pass and i thing that i will move to 12/12 h period

dakevs · Jan 5, 2008

can you top at any time?

Zenmaster420 · Jan 5, 2008

i thing so

i did it

and it's working well ... if it didn't i thing the plants should have said something .... my opinion .... if someone more expirienced please say something

jah bless
