[Dutchmast3r]

So i started these 4 about 4 weeks ago and they were under CFLs for the first 3 1/2 weeks..last night i blew my MH light so there now vegging under the HPS for another 2 weeks before flower. First actual grow tht i can call my own. so im pretty excited.

- 3x3x7 ft. grow tent
- Happy frog/Miracle grow mix for soil (ran out of the happy frog only like 1/5 of each pot is miracle grow)
- Basic Veg nutes from homedepot. 6-5-4
- watering from a spring with iron in it
- 400w HPS/MH non air cooled
- 225w CFL veg
- LST

Didn't LST this one simply for experimental purpose.

Max LST !

looking good man! rep and im subbed

ah man I have to spread more rep first.

 

[Dutchmast3r]

thanks bro, the one on the bottom pic in the front is actin funny..the leaves are curling and look all wrinkled? anyone have any idea?

 

[Outlawd15]

Let me check my "grow guide" a friend that works at this head shop I go to hooked me up with a manual lol

////

Curling could be nutrient problems. MG has some nutes in it that release with watering. How many drops or how much nutes do you use when you water and how frequent? I am taking it very easy on my girl and she is looking healthy. How frequent and how much water do you give them?

 

[Dutchmast3r]

preciate it man!

 

[Outlawd15]

No problem man. It says check the ph and ppm etc. If anyone else has input feel free. I am on my first and a "half" grow haha


What time is it?
Oh yeah

 

[Dutchmast3r]

lol this is my first and half too me any my buddy last year had a few outdoor no matience plants we just "set it and forget it" method..6 plants only gave us like 1/4 lb but cost me $40 so i worked out. this grow im about $500 in the hole so im aiming for little over Oz. a plant. but anywayssss i water them about a gal every 2 days just started tht since i put under the HPS soil dries quicker..i use about 30 drops in a gal. says 10 drop per liter. i started at 10 drops on week 2 and now im up too 30 ill prob only do 35 max seeing as im gunna flush in 2 weeks and start flower nutes..but i havent tested the PH its coming from a natural spring tht contains iron? is iron bad? i shud test tht water but i used it from the begin and no problems until like 3 days ago

Sounds pretty kick-ass man. I'm not sure why all of a sudden she got sad. Hopefully it'll pass over the next couple of days.

Here's something that could help with the spring water ordeal.

Read your fertilizer's ingredients - chelated iron [Fe] might read something like "iron EDTA". To much iron [Fe] without adding enough phosphorus [P] can cause a phosphorus [P] deficiency.

Here is the link http://www.amsterdammarijuanaseedbank.com/Growguides/troubleshootingsolutions/marijuana-plant-abuse.html

I let my water sit for 24 hours before using it and rotate it out every 48hours so it does not become stagnant. For the chlorine obviously. I'm just using my shower to fill up my bucket.

 

[Dutchmast3r]

looks like Mg def to me. u cant see it in the pic but a few leafs on tht plant look like tht pic (not as bad) is there a way to use a household product for tht? or do i need tht from the store?

 

[Dutchmast3r]

but ya letting my water set 24hrs is a good idea..+rep for suggestion

 

[Outlawd15]

Epsom salt is what it says.

 

[Dutchmast3r]

haha says in tht article use 1 tbsp epsom salt..my bad

 

[Outlawd15]

hehe it's all good. A second pair of eyes always helps man. I always read things a few times over when I'm medicated.

 

[Dutchmast3r]

thanks man..gunna give them salt tonight and get a pic up prob tmrw or fri..

"
[h=3]Note![/h]When adding iron [Fe] to the solution, it is often necessary to not use fertilizer for that watering. Iron [Fe] has a tendency of reacting with many of the components of fertilizer solutions, and will cause nutrient lockup to occur. Read the labels of both the iron [Fe] supplement and the fertilizer you are using before you attempt to combine the two."


ah ha .. didnt know

 

[Outlawd15]

yeah I was hoping you saw that part! i didn't want to copy too much haha.

Nice grow man had to check it since you checked mine out (here's the actually grow journal with more pics then you saw Here). I want to LST my biggest one but I'm scared haha. The MG soil causes some problems bro I'm using it mixed with Perlite until I get funds to get some better soil. Wish I could find FFOF or Happy Frog where I live.
And yeah leave your water out 24hrs lets the minerals or impurities evaporate.

The First plant looks like a sativa to me or a hybrid.
Yeah man let that spring water set out overnight. Lets the impurities evaporate

Also random question ever hear of growing in straight perlite. because I was looking at the 420 Mag How To LST and it looks like the dudes using straight perlite.

 

[Dutchmast3r]

im pretty sure u cant lol but ur right it does look like tht..i think he just put the top inch or so perlite..ive seen tht before but not 100% perlite..ya they were bag seeds from a source i cudnt count on giving me correct name, smelt and smoked like AK though so we'll see..it was def some dank. thanks for stoppin in man more pics on friday!
