I think I lost my starter nutes... is it ok if i just go with no nutes for now... shits groin pretty fast anywayz

It should be fine without the starter nutes as long as it's going good on its own.

I just used the starter nutes to get my seeds to sprout. I think I'm the only one who I have heard of so far that uses the AG to sprout their seeds.

Hey Lurk... how old is that one... I thought you're supposed to wait atleast 2 weeks before starting nutes??

They are ~2.5 weeks old now.

Hey guys, here are my girls at 6 Weeks. Also put my clones in their new home below the AG with the Daylight Bulbs. Here are some pics. I've put my AG into Flower today using the Soft White - Red Spectrum bulbs. Funny - my camera phone doesn't really differentiate color spectrum well in the photos.

sorry if you already mentioned this earlier, but what size CFL bulbs are those in front of your ag hood? 150w equivs?

They're just 100W Equivalents. All 4 of them are additional to the AG standard hood bulbs and all are 100 W Equivalents. I did have 5 (One in the middle of the two hanging from the top) but my temps were getting too hot. I have changed them all from Blue Spectrum to Red Spectrum now.

I know that I should know this, but since I've never used FoxFarm Nutes before, can anyone tell me (Particularly SICC, since I know you've had a grow with FF Nutes before) what amount of Tiger Bloom I should be using during my flowering stage in the AG and what kind of scheduling, etc. I should be using with them?

Everything I have read people have been saying follow the foxfarm schedule.

You should only use tigerbloom for like 2 weeks. right when you start flowering. 2 teaspoons per gallon

I gave my plants a trim where the leaves were pretty much dead, pH is at a reasonable level now, hopefully they will perk up tomorrow.

If not, I'll see how long they last.

Got some nemesis feminized seeds coming along with some FF nutes.

"SICC" · Feb 15, 2009

did some researching, Marijuana thrives in neutral to slightly acidic mediums. Soil and soilless mixes should aim for pH of 6. Hydro growers should go slightly lower which helps prevent pythium and other root rots-- 5.5 to 5.7 is ideal

lurkmaster · Feb 15, 2009

pH neutral is 7.0

Good to know that I should aim for like 5.6 though, will make sure I keep a stable ph around there when I get these strips.

my plants are looking around the same size as yours. I'll post pics tomorrow. I'm using a 150watt envirolite (blue) my seedling are 10 days old now. Although one of mine struggled like your did at the start with the seed shell. Hope it pick up like your did.

Nice set up by the way.

lopezri · Feb 16, 2009

I know I've posted some like this once before, but I'm just so damn proud of my girls and my setup. Here are a few more. First is a pic of my girls on Miracle-Gro Singles - 1/3 pack to 1 gallon water. Second is a pic of my clones from my girls. They aren't as healthy looking but I'm sure they'll come along. They're 2 weeks into cloning now and I'm sure they're all starting to root. And third pic is my set-up. I think this cabinet was just built for this kind of thing.

Hope you guys enjoy!

Day 18 from germination Update:

Okay so after my pH problem I trimmed my yellow/browning leaves and the plants seemed to take well to it.

One of them is looking good, other one still looks funky.

Going to send some nutrients their way wed.

The stems above the first set of real leaves are nice and hearty..

Just waiting for this shit to take off.. any day now...

"SICC" · Feb 16, 2009

see man there lookin great, give em like 2 weeks and they will be nice n healthy, im going to order some FF nute this week, try and finish my grow strong, might get a digitial meter, are you going to follow there feeding charts?

lurkmaster · Feb 16, 2009

Yea thats what I'm going to switch to once they come in.

They don't really look great, but they are definitely recovering well.

you going to check the ppm and EC? i want to get a ph meter but is it really needed to kno ppm and everything,

[quote="SICC";2095369]you going to check the ppm and EC? i want to get a ph meter but is it really needed to kno ppm and everything,[/quote]

Yea I wasn't going to fuck with PPM/EC, don't have anything to adjust or test it with.

Was just going to premix all my shit in gallon jugs with the proper concentration then pH it and just fill up res as needed. Flush res when you change up the forumla when you add tigerbloom and shit.

I figured that is bound to be better than the AG nutes.

yea. flushing is going to hard for me, my AG basically sit on the flooer, i only flushed it a couple time, you think i would be chill doin the same with the FF?

As long as you have the right nutrient concentration you should be fine.

I think AG res can hold about .8 gallons

so.. PPM should be fine if you premix.

I'll let you know how it goes once I start FF cycle, if these plants dont take well to it I have some fem cheese x nyc diesel (chiesel, lol) seeds on the way =]
