brown spots and had high PH! :(

that sounds like a comp fan. those wont help much, they are ok for blowing air around in a room but not to vent it or remove heat.
ah, i forgot i asked about the lime cause it loked like you put 1/4 mix of it.just watch your watering schedule

I didn't do a 1/4 mix of lime, I put 1 handful of lime to probly 2.5 gallons of soil mix. And the fan is a DC fan, but not for PC. I'ts a "Brushless 12VDC Cooling Fan" 4.72 Dia, 3000 RPM, 85 CFM .32 Amp from radio shack. Wasn't made for a PC and it's moving a good amount of air, I might add more vent intake to drop my temps but its doing a pretty good job so far.


just a little loud might have to use the Dynamat I have to try to kill some of the sound untill my fan and filter finally ship and use a speed control to use this fan as a intake

But with what I have im a little concered over what I have for 2.5 weeks old...I hope all my problems havn't stressed them into being boys

those style fans are still meant to blow not suck. we need suck, use it on the intake when the others come.
that hose that is on the bottom of pic is that the intake, and it exits where your intake is?

There is no hose on the bottom. I have a 4" hole in the top of the box with a fan blowing out and a few vent holes on the back bottom and run my power cord out 1 of them (3 1" holes) view blocked by the mylar i layed down intill i get a water tray for the bottom

sorry cofused you with another p[ost that look the same

ph of feeding should be between 6.3 and 6.8. i like 6.7 or 8 myself.
any nutes?
make sure they dry up real good before watering, they do better on the dry side.

Bonz, do you really feed your plants with a ph of 6.7-8? That goes against everything I've ever learned about cannabis ph.
5.5-6.5 is usually the recommended ph

i`m in the dirt. it`s higher

do you ever test your run-off water?
I'd be interested to hear what that ph is.
I know soil is a great stabilizer, but I've never fed above 6.5 wittingly anyway.

i`ve got a chart here somewere that shows the nutrient avaliablity at different ph levels if i come across it i will post it.
my run off is about the same, i do change my levels as i go into different stages, depending on what nute in my mix i want more avaliable to

here this is similar

Chart of the Effect of Soil pH on Nutrient Availability

This is in Jorge Cervantes book, yeah so it looks to me like 6.5 is still ideal.
unless you need to give it some of the first elements on the list, like you said.

thats why i say 6.3 to 6.8. i could be here all say explaning it in detail how i change my ph as i go along. but that would just confuse people

after transplanting them on friday and a good watering they were looking a little below the weather and as I understand this happens after transplanting and as far as I know the organic soil I used has a little worm casting and suck but not alot to sunday I felt a little bold and (I know I probly shouldn't have) gave them another watering with Distilled water and 1/3 shot of foxfarm nutes to try and give them a little Nite and Mag boost. It appears to have payed off so far. I had a bit of a growth bang at work today and the yellowness is turing green on most of the leaves

Sorry for the bad Cell phone pics, batteries dead in my sisters camera

well good luck. just watch the plant it will tell you whats going on. if it`s happy the leaves will be pointing up. and watch the tips for burn
