yea, I topped em' about a week before flowering. and my friend started a blueberry from the same pack of seeds and his looks funny like that to. He also mentioned genetics. I won't care at all if it makes sticky buds!

One more question: I have always seen people spray thier plants with water, I also do the same just because everybody else I know does. Is this good/bad/or it doesn't mater?

They don't require foliar-feeding, but it shouldn't do much harm at this stage, but remember, NEVER mist or foliar-feed during flowering!

I know man, some people come on here just to make themselves feel and look like big shots...I swear, if it was in person, I wouldn't have been so polite...

Hey SLB, shits looking good bro! I noticed pics 4&5 that baby looks a tab bit stressed out. Stick your finget in about 2 inches into the soil, if it doesn't feel damp, go ahead and water it. Be a good idea to know what PH your water is too.. Too high and it can cause stressed plants.

Good luck SLB!

thanks 6! yea that plant was a little dry. I'm so afraid of over watering, I read so many bad things about it... watered it and in about 3 hours it looked better!! my water is tap water(from my well) my ph is at 6.5-6.7 what is the perfect ph to have? I have seen different opinions on this and it would be great to know what is the perfect reading?

Thanks again 6!

how about for my clones, is 6.7 ph good to water my clones with? I don't have a good success rate with them and I am trying to narrow down my problems. I even made a special clone box, I actually used a desk drawer at my PC so I can keep a close eye on them. I am using two 14w 2700k bulbs and it is kept at 74 degrees. i use peat pods and MG fast root. I also have tried rootone(gel not available for me) still I can only get 25% to grow. I spray them reguarly and sometimes even use wilt spray ( i learned that from see more buds vol.2) Here are some photos... see anything I'm doing wrong?

If you have them in a hydro system or a soilless medium (rockwool) then PH should be between 5.5 - 6.5.... with 5.8 being ideal.If you have them directly in soil then between 6.5 - 7.0 would be best.

You should probably change the spectrum of the bulbs to something suitable for vegetative growth...I've never used MG fast root, but I have used the powder rootone...and I only get a 75% success rate at the best...What's the temps like in there?? Do you open up the dome 1-2x a day to exchange the stale air?

it's always around 75 degrees in the box and about 78-79 inside the dome. and yes, I do open 3-4 times a day and spray the lid before I put it back on. I only have it open for a few minutes though, How long should I leave it open? I'm going to stop using the MG product and go back to regular rootone. I know many of the MG products are not cannabis friendly... I'm going out now to get some more 6500k bulbs and switch them out tonight. I really felt they should have a veg spectrum but once again I read somewhere to use soft white. It didn't make sense to me but I went with it... goes to show, believe half of what you read and nothing you hear.lol

Thanks once again for your help!
