Sensi Star growing

after you feed, you take about 1/6-1/4 the quantity (of feed solution that actually went into the pot) of just strait water and add it in after the nute solution... make sense for example..... you feed with 1 quart of nutrient solution, followed by a watering in of 1 cup plain water....

yup makes sense..... and of course I did not water in...that would of been to smart of me. Damn it! does it look like pics 6-8 are starting a mag problem pH is fine.....so its not that.

nope, just looks like a burn ...... big bloom will help manage those elements though

nute burn sucks but you can always work through it... key to growin pot is simply kiss....

yeah stupid lol...... KISS Keep It Simple Stupid/Stoner

Things have changed.....
In great part to all of you here at RIU

Looking good. Glad to see the plants bounce back from the other week.

hormones) Umm I have FloraNova Grow (7-4-10) I treated the soil-less mix with this before they were transplanted but that was the last time I feed them.

this was your first mistake... FLora nova is thsi shit, straight up. you can not use nutes during stransplant and using a soiless mix is very hard to get the amount right.. very easy to over nute..

here you plant are over watered





like seen here

This is a leaf also taken off your 10-26-09 photos that they are over nuted just the slightest amount




compared to this

also on your most recent pics,and where i have highlighted you can see sign of heat stress firstly by noticing the leaves, near the top most leaves are curling straight down only at the tip of the leaf and on most leaves the they are just folding/flopping down .. secondly by noticing how the plants seem to have gotten to a certain height( closes to the heat as heat rises) of stop growing as quickly as they were.heat stress signifigantly slows growth in certain cases

I recommend you transfering to scotts soil... or any good soil... and in a 5gal Paint bukcet pots( take up the same amount of space with 150% more room.. add purely soil( i dont fool with mixtures) and water the new soil so that it is a little beyond moist.. but not drenched. then very carefully, and sense you have cheap plastic pots, you can just take an exacto knife or scissors and cut it in half. I know that seems scary but its no big deal. This work in your favor based on how your roots will probably be around the edges and holding on tight to soil and pot its already in. now sense yyou have so much real esate as far as soil goes.. it will so much much harder to over nute, or overwater.. i even just water half the pot at one time so im sure to keep the roots oxygenated which is key to fast growth.. add your nutes 1/2 stenght after a week then, full strength, if the seem to be liking it a week to two after that

those are five gallon pots..... ph, spidermites, yeah over nuted, its their first grow, transplanting at this point would not be the greatest idea, taco affect is more a sign of heat stress than the leaf tips curling down...... what are you going off about?

Okay, dont understand the point of you post man... I AM JUST TRYING to help... I guess if Im going off about sometime than im going off on some mad trying to helpage spree... lol.

Why does it seem Im going off on him??? I was right with everything I said except I didn't see that they were 5 gal pots. you should top off the pots with more soil..

Sorry loneysmoka if it, by me trying to help, seems like I am going off on somebody... just giving my to sense.. sorry

just saw that he transferred to six gal pots

here is a pic that should help you, and loadedragon.. i get it, other people have helped him and i hope its okay with you that i try to too.
