Defiantly take in to consideration what is in the soil. I would give them the Big Bloom only, no chemical stuff. And go by the program only. The Sucanat would be good for them now though and you could get some for about $5. Or molasses too, I think that's less than $2. Beside the carbs they have beneficial bacterias, vitamins, lots of good stuff. I think the carbs are mostly in the Sucanat. But since you are only using the base nutes those would be good cheap extras.

im outta here.. gotta eat n get sum beer for tonight but ill be on and off like usual.. peace hash

 

[greenearth5]

besides the base nutes I also have Awesome Bloosom.. i havent used it for this grow and might not.. ill beputting some nutes in the soil tonight

 

[Hash Lover]

Plants are looking good man. So what did you give them for nutes. Also the people that said to switch them to hps, did they say why?

 

[greenearth5]

i asked a few different threads if i should switch to HPS since i just found out the sex on the plants and they said yes without an explanation of why.... i ended up watering the plants almost 2 galons of water for the 6 one-half gallon grow bags.. those puppies were extremely thirst and i think ive severely underwaterd them... I took 100ppm of the muddy type of fox farm... and added 900 ppm of grow big to have a grand totaly of 1000 ppm of nutrient rich rain water .. checkd the ph and it looked good so i left it as it was... i tottally soaked the plants so that they are still dripping wet this morning... well im severly hung over so im crashing.. peace

Hey green, what's up?? Still hung over?? So how's it going? Buds are getting fat and frosty over here. My auto is looking good, hairs starting to turn brown. Go back and ask them why you should switch to hps so soon. If they cant give you a reason then they don't know what they are talking about. Anyway let me know how things are going. What about the inspections? Is it over?

 

[greenearth5]

Everything is peachy over here. The inspectors came thru and gave the thumbs up for my apt. Plants are good... I do have a concern about one plant turning yellow and the other two are not affected. I have gave them identical waterings and nutes... but one plants leaves are turning yellow all the way up and down it... ill take pictures later today.

I just went in and drug them out... i noticed that most the leaves are sagging and some are yellow.... im going to post this on the plant problem thread and see if i can get some answers b4 i water today

Pic 2 looks under watered and hot. Pic 3 looks like N deficient. Pic 4 the same as 3. Not sure about pic 5, looks like mostly on the bottom but not all. Maybe a little burnt? Let's see what you get for answers. I'm glad you got through the inspections ok. I'll get some bud shots soon, no purple yet but hairs are starting to die off on all 3 strains. The little auto looks so cute.

 

[greenearth5]

This is what they said.. ill retype it here but shorten the length... they said its under watered and i have N deffiency. I have been trying to keep from over wattering so much that im under watering them. So i flushed with pure rain water and redone my nute water. I added more flowering nutes in this batch and less veg nutes. Hopefully this will cure it all up. I think the leaves showed their yellow because i underwatered so much that the buds started to soak up the N out of the leaves (just a guess).... cant wait to see those bud pics

here is the thread

I started to read the thread last night. They do look like N deficient but with the nutes you have been giving them I wouldn't think they would be. But they do need to have water to bring the nutes up the plant and remember that the Big Bloom is organic and takes longer to work. If you have a deficiency the quickest way to get them nutes is with chemical nutes. The quickest way is to spray the foliage. you could do that with some Tiger Bloom. It say's on the bottle how much. As far as watering, that one does look really bad and you will probably loose a few leaves I think but no biggie. I find the best way to check them is to feel how heavy they are right after you water. Then check until they feel light. And the finger test too. If the bags have holes is the sides they will dry out faster than holes only on the bottom like a pot does. The one guy said to not reuse the run off and he has a point. But this early I don't think you would have a problem. And I would think you should be safe as long as you check the ppm and ph before you reuse it. I do that sometimes too. Good idea doing it in the bowl. With the 1 gallon pots I use about 32 ounces to water each. And I measure it so I know all plants get the same. But not all plants (even my clones) use the same amount of water. Depends on conditions. I'll try to get some pics tonight. After I posted last night and took a look before bed time I think I saw some purple showing. Hard to tell with the light and hard to get good pics also because of the light.

Also, I do mix in some Cal-Mag in the distilled with all waterings. And with your rain water being so low in ppm that could help too. And it does have some N in it, it is 2-0-0 and has a lot of micro nutes. It can be tough to figure out sometimes, along with ph being off (that cha-ching really drops your ph a lot, or any chemical stuff). Sometimes I start at 4.0 ph after putting in nutes and before I adjust it. You might see a problem and think it is one thing but something else is locking it out. And no matter how much more you add it won't do any good since the plant can't get it.

I took some pics tonight. A couple more weeks and they will be done. You should be able to see some of the purple coming on. The tips of the small bud leaves are starting to turn. I'll get more pics as they get more color. I'll get pics of the Orange Skunk and the auto at least before they get harvested. Their getting quite frosty as you can see. I told my stepdaughter she can have her pic of buds (one from each strain) for helping trim them. She seemed happy about it.

WOW...These are looking beautiful!

Thanks man. And welcome to RIU.

 

[greenearth5]

UPDATE: Here are some picutres of my 3 lowriders... there are a few brown hairs on them but not to many... i checked the trich today and there are a few big trich which are cloudy but 100 smaller ones that are clear... any ideas on how long i have till harvest? also my lights are on a 18/6 light schedule... should i leave it on this light schedule or switch to something else.. im looking for a big yield so anything can help.. im broke or i would get some molasses

 

[greenearth5]

it looks like you are going to be able to smoke your bud before i can mine. Im a few weeks behind. I have a few brown hairs but 98% of them are still as white as they were when they started growing. Wanna swap some bud? lol bet your step daughter is goin to pick a q/p of the best bud you got

I didnt realize it but my plants are 1 month old today i thought they were 2 months old already

 

[guitarjon]

Lookin Nice. Can u uplaod more pics?

 

[Inkslinger118]

It takes a lot of veg time and pruning to get them like that. My guess would be 6 months or so. My first 2 soil plants were like that but not as big. You have to start pruning early though. Pinch the top when you have your first 4 branches off the main stem and then pinch all new tops above there first 2 branches. And just keep doing that until you are about ready to flower. I topped one of these after a week or so into flower and it didn't seem to hurt it a bit. I'd be glad to help you when you start some new ones. On the ones you have now get me a good side pic and maybe I can help you to top it. Basically pick a height and cut it off just above where 2 branches are coming off the main branch. If that makes any sense. If not let me know. My Roadrunner auto popped out of the soil over night. I;m not surprised that it was the first. These are the first two plants I did. I did a lot of pruning because I didn't have a flower area ready on time. But they came out good. 5+ onces off the 2 plants. My best per plant yield so far.

Those look unbelievably gorgeous.

looking good green.
