    First Grow: 400 watt HPS, Permafrost, White Widow, White Rhino, Blackjack

    The book says 12-18 inches. Without a cooltube... I could not get that close without heat stress. (leaf margins rolling up). With a cooltube (homeade hurricane lantern glass tube, open ended design) I can have tops within 6-8 inches. Currently the top closest to the light is 10 inches away...

    First Grow: 400 watt HPS, Permafrost, White Widow, White Rhino, Blackjack

    If the buds are growing and still pushing hairs then you're definitely not locked out. Sounds like you can trust the meter so...I think you're right... hungry plants you have, feed them more you must. Yoda out.....

    First Grow: 400 watt HPS, Permafrost, White Widow, White Rhino, Blackjack

    I would get a pH calibration solution to check the accuracy of your tester. Are you sure about the lockout? It made sense by the look of 'em, but....2 months of veg with no feeding? Maybe they were just REALLY hungry when you started to flower them, and now they are deficient. They would look...

    First Grow: 400 watt HPS, Permafrost, White Widow, White Rhino, Blackjack

    I'm wondering why you're having such Ph issues? Too high or too low? Are you still using the Gardeners and Bloom? Also....If you have nutrient lockout problems and you are adding bloom nutes to the pot, then your plant is not using those nutes and they are building up in the soil. This could...

    temp too high

    You need a real fan, and a cool tube. I use the same tent you do. I use a 400W HPS and I also have a few CFL's in there as well. I use a 435 CFM 6in. centrifugal fan for exhaust. Those 30$ "booster" fans from Home depot are a joke. Even with a very powerful fan your tent is going to be 10...

    problem to my little cannabis plants

    Glad to hear the other plants have improved. First of all, you should not cut those leaves off. Take a picture with them still on the plant. Even though they are damaged the plant can still use them. And it helps to know from where on the plant those leaves came. Spots are often caused by PH...

    Yeah it should still be OK, it will just take a little longer to really get going now. You should still get 4 nice tops. Shoot me a link when you get your pics up. Good luck.

    Adventures of a Grow Addict

    Your best bet is to let it grow to about 5 nodes and then top above the 2nd node. This is a specific method. I know it seems like a waste letting it grow to 5 nodes and then chopping all that off, but its worth it. It grows back with a vengence. Basically you are cutting the plant in half. So...

    Adventures of a Grow Addict

    Almost! ty,ty Thanks CaveChest. I do have suggestions for you. If you top above the 3rd node, you will get 2 main colas, and your plant will be alot taller because of it. If you're low on space you should really top above the 2nd node for 4 colas becauise this will keep your plant...

    New Leaves curled up and twisted

    45% is good. Real good. That'll be perfect for flowering when a little dry is better to reduce any chances of mold. Way to grow.

    4000k CFL's

    Ya know how the sun is a different color at sunset than it is at noon. At sunset its more red/orange at noon its more yellow/white/orange. This is due to the amount of atmosphere the light must shine through before it reaches your eyes. The change in color throughout the day is the due to the...

    4000k CFL's

    Or you can simplify the whole thing and realize that FULL SPECTRUM LIGHT IS BEST FOR ALL STAGES. Period. Growing indoors provides one with the opportunity to provide BETTER conditions than what would naturally occur outdoors. 24 hour light, a perfect watering schedule, a customized feeding...

    seedling leaves turning down! whats wrong (pic) HELP

    Be careful with those fibre pots. Mold just loves to grow on them because they're always wet. A better answer to over watering is perlite and/or vermiculite. Even with a great mix like FFOF you should add some perlite or something similar to help improve soil texture and drainage. The lighter...

    seedling leaves turning down! whats wrong (pic) HELP

    I would just like to clarify "overwatering" You can't overwater simply by pouring too much water into your plants pot. A container will only hold so much water, you can't go over that amount. Overwatering does not mean too much water, it means watering too OFTEN. Its kind of weird when you...

    seedling leaves turning down! whats wrong (pic) HELP

    This is not true for seedlings. You can still put a CFL too close to a seedling. A larger plant, yeah you can have them as close as your temps allow... even touching. But not a seedling. I have a light meter. From less than an Inch away a CFL reads the same as bright sunshine. After that the...

    4000k CFL's

    Not useless at all. I veg with 4100K with very good results. You dont have to pair it with anything. Obviously full spectrum light is best, and the closer you can get to that the better off your plants will be. The higher the #k the closer to full spectrum it is. A mix is always the best, for...

    They will also do that if the light is too close. Seedlings don't need that much light.
