I like this pic, reminds me of Willy Wonka Factory. Those plants are lookin good. Nice tight nodes.

HAHAHAHA!!

Yeah they picked up a little bit. I really want to start some normal plants (LSD and Vanilla Kush) but I dont want to drop them to soon.

Where can I get some 6500k CFL bulbs? I checked both HD and Lowes, I recently checked and the ones I am using are 5000-5500K.

That's what I have been doing since transplanting the two and while the seedling's roots are still going down into the rez.

Thanks for the info!!

I'm thinking about using 2 higher wattage CFL bulbs, like this one: http://www.1000bulbs.com/85-Watt-Compact-Fluorescents/9183/ instead of the four under the hood. Then using the Y-splitters on the side or in another spot. Anyone use CFL bulbs that size?

I use these same type for my mothers. Only downside is they are hot enough to burn the plants if they touch... other then that they've worked fine for me.

Awesome, I think I will be ordering 2 of those then.

A couple days after transplant and they are starting to look pretty good. The auto-blueberry has a bud flowering on the top and the ER is still growing with some pistols on the side branches. I started all the seedling with nutes. I also bumped the bigger girls to 1/2 nutes.

 

[Michiganman247]

Things are not looking so good for my two oldest girls. The bottom leaves are turning very yellow and looks like they are wilting on the ER. I foilar feed (just the yellow leaves) today but did nothing else. The leaves above the first node on the AB look great but the next set on the ER are starting to show signs of a deficiency.

The seedlings are flourishing, I think the roots finally hit the res.

First 3 are the ER, last one is the AB (all lower fan leaves look similar to the one in the pic).

I know yellowing of the bottom of lower leaves is usually nitrogen and the wilting could be due to magnesium. Is this because I am using 1/2 strength nutes that they are not getting enough?

OUCH! hOPE THEY TURN AROUND SOON!!!

Not much difference today. I'm wondering this: I am using lucas formula (0-5-10) veg and (0-8-16) for flower (numbers are grow-micro-bloom nutes in ml\g). The ER is 1 month old today and have only received 1/2 nutes for veg so I am guessing it is deprived of many nutrients. She has started to flower and the blueberry has been flowering (which is a week younger). My question is this, how to I fix this, do I just start a dose of 1/2 strength flower nutes see how they react and then bump to full strength? I dont want to do anything worse to them, but the next set of leaves on the ER are starting to become worse. Auto-Blueberry is still looking great though, other then the bottom set of leaves.

 

[Fditty00]

Well i know its a N def. I thought ur nutes would have N. Where is the Nitrogen????

 

[Michiganman247]

I have N, the micro has 5-0-1 NPK and bloom is 0-5-4 NPK. The numbers above is how much I am supposed to use in ML of each nute depending on what stage the plant is in. Sorry for the confusion.

 

[Fditty00]

Ahhh, i was gonna say. never heard of that b4

Na homie you need MORE Nitrogen. Trust me, go to the garden supply at the hardware store or Wal-Mart and look for Miracle Grow Nitrogen for Tomatoes. Give em a dose of that and see if they turn around. If you're afraid of over feeding then go Organic and look for bat guano that has more Nitrogen and give it to em. See if it helps, what could it hurt?

Alright I am not organic but have heard bad things about MG, but maybe that was just soil. I definitely will be doing this tomorrow as I have been thinking it was a N problem. One more question, do I still follow my feeding schedule or just try to get this problem resolved? Thanks for the advice ditty and Joker...

mg is okay if your lookin for a quick shot of N i guess. why not blood meal tho? its like all nitrogen. just put some in a old sock, and teabag it into your solution.

i use mg for foliar in veg and beggining of flower. 24:8:16

dried blood is 12:0:0
