I also added some liquid Karma to the mix and made some spray for foliar feeding. I mixed some cn17 grow and bloom in ph5.8 water it has all the nutrients they need. Mixed a half ml of each in a quart spray bottle. Started this morning early spraying the under side of ladies leaves. I could actually tell a difference right away in the color. Awesome.

Ok seems ima need a carbon filter lol.
What carbon filter do you suggest to get.
And about how much percent of smell will it get rid of.

I might be able to do a homemade one if thier is away how to any ideas?
You can get fan/filter combos from Htg for cheap. I use can or phresh filters myself. Get one that is sized for your fan.

Well, I certainley got a suprise yesterday. This being my first grow I started with 5 plants. 4 Lemmon Kush seeled in breedres pack and one Northern Light Auto(freebie). I then cracked a Critical Kush and started it. Anyway all but one of my seeds from the beginning were the same the L.K. to my supprise I have another plant autoing in veg.DSCN1237.jpgDSCN1238.jpgDSCN1240.jpgSo I guess the seeds that were seeled in the pack had a auto of some sort?

Hows it going my fellow growers!! Its been a while since ive posted. Ive seen lots of great 400w grows looking nice.
Hey doogey420 yours are looking great man. Got your message by the way thanks for the concern. Ive been busy lately havent gotten a chance to post but here it goes!
5 of my ladies finally under the 400whps bulb. Its been flowering(12/12) for about a week now. No signs yet of male or female. But they have gotten big and bushy. Started feeding the tiger bloom now!
WHATS THE EARLIEST THAT A PLANT CAN SHOW SIGNS OF FEMALE/MALE?

I use:grow big-2tsp
big bloom-6tsp /gal i am feeding it every other watering and water ever other day.
Tiger bloom-4tsp should i start feeding everyday now.
Any advice on water feeding and nute feeding please! Here goes my grow enjoy let me know how it looks
temps are steady at 85f.!!

ALSO LOTS OF MY LOWER FAN LEAFS ARE YELLOWING AND DIENG! I BET THATS NORMAL BUT IM STILL WORRIED IS IT BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH LIGHT OR DO THEY EVENTUALLY DIE! WOULD IT AFFECT MY PLANTS OR YIELD?
THANKS! HAPPY GROWING!

Heres my N.L. auto flowering under 400 HPS. It Hermied
! Two pollen sacks at bottom part of stalk. I have two other females in there as well. So I checked the girl over real well and they were the only two. So, I removed them with a wet paper towel, and I will keep doing so. She is two weeks into flower and I will kill myself if I have to, too keep those darn males from polinating my other ladies. What do you all think? Anyway she is 33" tall and thirty inches wide. By looking at the pics do you think she will produce some phat BUD? Thank You Oh, and get this, the tent that I bought for veg. one of its metal supports that I have my lights attached to broke and the lights smashed my critical kush. Man what a day I am having. Yah, I lost about 8 inches of her. Dont know if she will come out of it or not. The remaining growth looks ok, but what a f&*$ Mess! So the ends of the supports have plastic caps that snap on to the outer frame for suspending your lights it busted or cracked or whatever but thankfully though it only got one of the girls. I have two others in there. So I totally redid it and duck taped the f out of those connections. I did have spare parts thankfully. At any rate after further inspection I found that all the plastic caps on the ends of these supports are defective. Junk!!!! Pure and simple. I am going to complain to the manufacturer for sure. These are the plants in vegThe one in the back left got major topped. The one in front is some kind of auto. Came in a breeder pack of Lemmon Kush. I have know clue. The one that was almost killed is critical kush and the one far right is L.K.

Hows it going doogey! sorry to here about your hermie. and your critical kush!! m.j plants are pretty strong when i was doing LST on one of my plants. it broke my stem since im new at it. i pressured it back to how it originaly was and formed some kind of white muscle around it now its as good as new. so just have hope on it might stress it a little..for your hermied plant make sure thier is no light leak in your grow tent. good luck on the rest doogey. and they are looking mighty fine!!

now i need some pointer too. im going camping for the weekend so wont be here for about 3 days. and if im not here a/c wont be on im worried cause without a/c bieng on temps go up to between 100f-109f is it ok if the temps stay like that maybe for about 2days. if i raise the bulb higher would it probably put temps down but will it stretch my plants during those 2 days. that bieng said!

i got some ph strips no higher than 8.0 but idk how to read it..it goes by ppm. now whats good ppm for water! so i can test my water kinda late i know but just wanna see what im feeding my plants. thanks any tips appreciated! happy growin!

If I were you Mr.Lightgreen I would leave that ac running if possible!!! 100 is way hot could really hurt your ladies not to mention 109 WOW thats REALLY ROASTING. Yes if theres anyway possible keep that ac going. I am not sure about the ppm either. I use my ph tester and put my nutes in weaker than called for, but I am sure you can find out. I think it has to do with your nutes parts per meter or something. I really dont know but there should be a thread on here some where that explains it. Anyway hope you have a nice camping experience and I really hope you can leave your ac cooling.
As Ever,

Thanks..well fucking a/c running without me Bieng their feels like a waste of electricity sucks and guess what I think my digital ballast is fucking up my internet and cable usually only happens around 10:30pm. But I'm wondering can a single 400whps ballast mess it up i know 600w and 1kw can do it but havent heard of a 400w unless one of my nieghbors is growing too lol

You know that is a good question.The ballast thing that is. I have not had any problems with mine. But I was unaware of this problem to begin with. Your definately better off paying the cost. You would for sure if you got back from your vacation and had very unhealthy ladies. The cost to regrow would be double fold the few extra bucks for electric you will accure while away for just a bit. So, hope it helps looking at like this.

Yea true. I was reading a little more about the ballast interfering with my cable and internet they told me to do an am and fm test with a radio if its staticy that means it is interfing and just to keep walking away with the radio till the staticy stops and thats how far the ballast interfierce. I just don't want my nieghbors calling the cable guy or anything and tracing the high power wattage.

Hey also doogey I have a question for you how much water do you feed yout plants and what size pots are you using I have 5g pots and a bad case of under watering hopefully my plants will get better Ima start guving them 1qt everyday and feed butes everyothet watering or should i just geed nutes every water now that its flowering.
