    Cupping leaves, moisture or root bound? Thoughts please?

    These are my 2 Cheese ladies, under a 250w dual spectrum HPS, and they have major Taco leaves. I've done a bit of reading, but can't confidently diagnose what is causing it. They were transplanted from 3l to 7.5l pots 10 days ago (having filled their 3l pots nicely in a week and a half, circling...

    I similarly bought a £50 pH pen, opting for the more expensive one, just 5 months ago, and was very pleased...but may have dropped it off a shelf, from 6ft, landing on a hardwood floor and hitting the kitchen work top on it's way down :roll: I used to water at 6.6-6.7 when using just light mix...

    Thanks, I figured that (and that isn't supposed to sound sarcastic) my PH pen decided to go crazy over christmas reading from 2.3 to 14 in one solution which i knew was somewhere around 7, and wouldn't calibrate. I'm literally off to the hydro store in the next hour to get one before today's...

    Actually, the last pic is of my 2 Buddha cheese, which are under my 250...leading nicely onto this post. Here are my ladies, a little def through Mg, causing knock on effects to N, and P. But I am getting serious Taco leaves. NOt had these before, but read about them, and can't for the life of...

    You mean like these?? They are from my trial with a 400 HPS in a bigger tent, so die hard 250 fans, look away now :) They were vegged from seed, all under a single 125cfl (with 55w 2700k thrown in as they became "plants"), then just topped once about a week ago, and gonna be flipped any day...

    Sorry, are you pulling air from your flower tent, into the smaller veg one, using the heat and moisture from the flower tent to make the veg one warmer and more humid??

    If you want to save money, and you are lazy and don't want to swap bulbs (or neurotic and worry about handling bulbs more then necessary, like me) a good Dual Spectrum HPS bulb will work fine. I have a 125w Blue BUlb in a little cupboard I use for clones, seeds, and younguns...then re-pot, stick...

    It is actually, just had a load of overtime and university work all at once, barely had time to tend my gardens, let alone talk about it :) Things are going well thanks, got 2 Buddha cheese under my 250, which are oober mature, had a little trimming, and about to be flipped any day now...

    That's exactly why I have never tried to use a screen, I just imagine they are too restrictive. Been away for a while, but loving the glass/perspex screen...I'm guessing that worked out cheaper then buying a new hood...nice, that's the kind of growing I like :) Also, I use those clips to hold...

    They were vegged for 6-7 weeks from clone, under CFL's, and did one top at about week 4, and then another at week 7, this time topping any upper branches that looked old enough to be topped. They are the 3 plants in my avatar, and that pic was just at the point of turning 12/12. I was expecting...

    On a happier note, here are some pics of this weeks harvest, and 2 of the 3 plants that created it. One plant was chopped a few days earlier, and if you can tell the plants drying in the rack are split into 3. the one vertically was the one cut down early, and has less budd (due to drying) then...

    OK, my bad. The second pic seemed to have a yellow circle top right, and the third one, with the leaf damage, that looks similar to when I had mites bad and they had really stripped certain leaves. Do you know how that particular damage was caused? As I said, I wasn't 100%, but if you don't...

    Hate to say it, but it looks like you are about to be raped by spider mites, I know I've been battling with them on and off for a year. I may be wrong but i'm 99% sure. Anyone else want to chip in??

    maybe a pH issue, but you have to remember that re-pottiing means fresh soil with fresh nutes to be used up

    I had to instantly delete those two posts due to some sensitive info in the pics lol. My camera is out of battery, and will have to take some more pics tomorrow. In the meantime, here are some pics of my seedlings- 2 Buddha Cheese 1 Strawberry cough 5 Blue Cheese In a week when I harvest my...

    OK, my turn for a little budd porn. Just chopped down the 1st of 3 ladies, and after much pessimism on the yield over the last week, I have been pleasantly surprised. I don't weigh wet, I think it would be potentially depressing, but i've been growing this strain for a year and pretty good at...

    nice going brettsog, i likes it. Before I flip my 3 strains, I will be takng a load of clones, and the best ones will become the next 8-10 plants to veg, and the rest will just be thrown in the spaces in my 2 tents in tiny pots as soon as they root. Had to buy some North Lights this weekend...

    thanks for that, i'll find the thread shortly. I have a strawberry cough plant that is gonna be a week or 2 ahead of the Blue Cheese i'm germing, so may have a real play with that. They will all be topped, but maybe a bot more on the S-cough. I'm gonna try and get my 2 buddha cheese under the...
