Well guys I'm worried about the biggest plant. I went to the tent today and the plant was really down and looking lifeless. It looked over watered but when I looked at the soil and lifted the pot it was really dry, so it was underwatered (she drinks a lot). I thought she would perk up after a few hours but she still looks lifeless with clawed leaves. There are also a few yellow/gold/brown rust looking spots on the leaves. What should I do??? I fed her only with PHd water and 5 ml synergy today. Please help me guys I don't want to lose this beautiful plant!

PS I'd take pics but the camera battery is dead.

Well the plant perked up today. Damn, I worry more about these plants than I worry about myself! Transplanting the remaining Hindu Kush plant tomorrow afternoon and I'm adding some soil to one pot that is only like half full. I have no more patience with veg and I wanna see buds now. Flowering will start this week or weekend for sure!
When the tent arrives I'm going to start 5 more HK plants and they'll have 6-7 weeks of veg then thrown into flower!

I watered with straight water last time I watered. What should I do with the last water during veg?

Nice setup. I have been growing for over 9 years now. I would water your plants twice a day as a minimum because that light will dry them out. Living down here in Australia one of the first things you lean is how sunlight can quickly kill dry plants. Don't be afraid to use 1/4 strength nutes on seedlings. Your nute temperature is also very important. What temp is your nutes ?

I think that would be way over watering. The water I feed them with nutrients in it is around 65-66 degrees.

There are a bunch of splotches on the leaves. I have no fucking clue what it is. I bought a new camera so I'll post some pics in a few minutes!

Well the tent is together and everything is in minus lights and exhaust. I need to get a chain to hang the light.
Genfranco would you have an idea what those spots are on my leaves? What about the leaves curling down?

could be bugs... could be a little nute burn... i dont see anything you should worry about.... just make sure you let them dry before you water.

Good luck bro..

Thanks bro. Tomorrow is the last veg watering. What should I put in the water?
hey bro not sure if its too late ...if you watered already...LOL... You could add some bud blood or open sesame if you have them on the last week of veg and for the first 2 weeks of flower...they kick in the buddage better. Not sure what kinda nutes you have ...

But if not just a good shot of water and then lights out...

You can do the whole 24hrs dark before flowering...that triggers them good too... I just add the open sesame. Got it for free from a friend so............

Are you gonna transplant before flowering into larger buckets?... or are you at 5 gallon already?.. If not transplant you might want to start the flowering nutes ...but member ... start low... 400-600 ppm... skip feedings for every watering...1 water 1 feed... and go up in 200 ppm incriments after that in the weeks... week 6 stop all nutes and only water with molasses or chaching or overdrive if you got them... good luck man...

I still have not watered yet. Going to water tomorrow morning/afternoon. I was thinking about feeding them 1/2 strength grow big with adjusted ph water.
I am using the basic fox farm nutes (grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom) and bio genesis synergy.

Thanks bud, I hope so too!


I think the spots on the leaves of some of the plants are from over feeding with bio genesis synergy because it is only on the plants that I fed with synergy.

I am in 3 gal pots except for the biggest female. I just killed the runt to make more room in the flower tent.

I was also thinking is it bad too do 36 hours of darkness? Currently, the lights are on from 7:30 AM to 1:30 AM. I want the lights to go on at 8 AM and shut off at 8 PM. This will probably reduce possibility of light leaks anywhere in the tent.

I am switching from MH to HPS TONIGHT!!!!! woot woot lol

Well I just read an article about symptoms of excess of N. Bottom leaves dying, leaf tips curling down etc... I think I have an excess of N....

Well I kind of fucked up. I got high and forgot to turn off my lights so they came on this morning. I guess flowering will officially start tomorrow. I also have to make sure my tent is 100% light proof.

I spent a good part of the day getting ready for flower. I made sure everything is light proof and watered a couple of plants. The plants will be in the dark for 36 hours and then I guess flower will OFFICIALLY start the day the lights turn on?
mmmm can't wait for some nice nugs. I'm expecting to get atleast 1-2 females from the Hindu Kush and I would be happy with about an ounce of kush.

I will post pics as soon as the lights turn on!

Sounds good man. To be honest, I think that flowering "officially" starts once you see flowers, but either way, its finally that time!

hmmm I'm not sure. Most of the plants showed pre flowers except for the kush.
I hope I will have some nice smoke for 420!

On another note, I still need to get a damn exhaust for the dr80. As soon as that happens, 5 more hindu kush seeds will be germinated and vegged till my first harvest! Then to the big tent!

I wonder if the plants will grow as fast as everyone says they do when they are in the first couple of weeks of harvest.

My plan is to let the go with the HPS for most of flower, but for the last week I think I should put in the MH for those crystals. What do you guys think?
