Ok, righteous man! Are those NL finished, how much did you get a plant? My bad on the "digging" but your NL turned out bad ass!

No buddy my bad, I meant the red pot in the last pic That is the only NL there, that's the one I posted earlier.

All the plants you see in the latest batch of pics are different different strains.

NP ask as much as you like.

Thats cool Herb Man! I myself have always been an outdoors grower, until now... My mix was always a cheap organic starteter soil layered with coposted horse manuer (Phenomenal results).

Those figures unless otherwise stated are Percent, so 50% soil etc.

That's really useful Herbs, I'm keeping this for future ref, although as my personal adviser, I know you will answer my Qs as and when...hehe. Good to know about the bear and racoon problems too, although bears not a problem in West London. Stinky, spraying Tom Cats yes, bears no. x

Lol, np man, just to add, the plant has three stages N-P-K.

It's first major nute requirement is N, it's requirement then changes emphasis to P and finaly to K.

The chart guids you through the sup options for each phase.

The emphasis is on N in veg, P in flowering and K towards the end of flowering.

Hit the double?

I did gave them a light watering after last night...

grow4fun420 · Aug 21, 2013

...In need of a little help???? I don't know what this is on the leaves? Is it nute burn or maybe the effects of high temps? I didn't think it could be Nitrogen deficient. I could really use some help on this one...

grow4fun420 · Aug 22, 2013

Anyone out there??? In need of some guidence... PLEASE!

grow4fun420 · Aug 22, 2013

nevermind guys, figured it out... heat burn. I think it might be from the magnifying effect of the water dropplets though (misting the leaves)?

Herb Man · Aug 23, 2013

Haha, I had this not long ago. It turned out to be from a combination of high temps, low humidity and a suspected cal/mag deficiency.

Already.in.use · Aug 23, 2013

Auto's seem to suffer cal/mag deficiency as a standard....love them. But still - strange.
