ok i have a sativa and im only at 7 to 8 weeks and one of them the leaves all have been turning yellow and falling ( i know lack of nitrogen ) so im guessing that one is ending its flowering but the other 2 were planted at the same time as this one.. how come they are all still perfectly green except one has had a few yellows but not much.. ideas?

My skunk #1 is doing the same thing and she is 75% sativa so don't have any fear she'll b fine and look fantastic!!! I'm on week 8 also

im using deep feed 15-30-15 is that good or bad?

well that has plenty of nitrogen in it, so now im 100% sure that shit is yellowing naturally or because of light issues. if i was you i would get some nutes with a lowwer n. and higher middle number. if you wanna go cheap get some shultz bloom shit, even though it has the same amount if n. in it it has way more p.

Sounds like a good bloom mix, how often are you feeding?

Is that plant in a small pot like the other?

yo how the fuck do you have a reputaion beyound repute giving out info like that? that is not a good flowering combo.

go with shultz 10-52-10 lowwer n. and much more p.

yeah its in the same pot but those are the biggest i can get in that 3 foot tall box so roots just have to deal with what they have. i am feeding every day i just started last week again but i ran out of my gallon and was wondering if i should just use water now instead of nutes

I think you plants are probably quite root bound which is unfortunate, I think you are correct in feeding everyday to help compensate but you will probably have to flush the nutrient salts through every week or so if you are using chemical nutrients. It may also help to poke some holes down into the soil to help aerate the rootzone. You may also be able to cut the bottom off your pots very carefully and set them into larger pots with fresh soil.

Ok then plain water feed for a couple watering and then go back to feeding as needed.

The light is inadequate at best so, less nutrient is probably better in your situation.

Expect an extended flower time as well, they will develop slow under low light conditions, so you may have to go 10-12+ weeks.

That is the major problem it tubes, poor light penetration. They work well with short plants. I believe CFL's can be more effective because you can concentrate the light source closer to the plant.

bottom line is dude is not making the most of his lights. i used to grow with t12s back in the day and they would run soo cool that they could touch leaves w/o burning. t-8s are much more efficent, and are supposed to run cooler then t12s. plus that they are bulbs they distribute the little bit of heat evenly. you need to move your lights much closer, and in the future l.s.t. under those lights

16 2800lumen flourous put out only 3,733 lumens a square foot, you should have 10,000 lumens at least..........
ur on crack.. do u not realize its in a box..? u need at least 3000 lumens so get it right. also my plants are against the lights they touch the lights so they are getting the max lumens out of it the box is just full of lights 4 on top 12 on the sides
