Daves Aerogarden grow (with pics).

Sorry to jump on your water conversation but I thought I would add that I use O'premium water w/ eletrolytes; also they use reverse osmosis for part of their cleaning. It's at the perfect PH. It's a company here in Arizona that sells bottled water. I use it for personal use primaraly but now for my plant. She loves it:weed:
 
And here's my little update. Been quiet for a while suffering with my poor plants.
My problem was that the edges of my leafs were curling to the inside and also had some slight discoloration on the leaves. Did some online research and learned that I'm either over-nuting or that my ph is off. I went with the idea of overnutes by a few suggestions I got here in the forum and washed out the tank filled it with plain water and let it be. About 3 days later I noticed that my problem is still there and if anything progressing in a wrong direction, so I went to visit my local Hydro store to buy a ph meter ($52) and at the same time the friendly guy who worked there told me that he thinks that my "tomatoes" are suffering from defficiency of magnesium and calcium (I think). So I spent extra money to buy foxfarm nutes, since he said it would be much better then Earth Juice (He said he used to grow tomatoes as well :) and to feed the plants right away.
So I tested the pH first, noticed it was over 8 and proceded with new food regiment, just to notice that the pH before I put it into AG was 4.3 yet decided to go ahead. Next morning I measured again and it was up to 7. I am very confused to say the least. Gave it a week and started noticing yellow brown blotches, tested pH again that was over 8 again, more research and learned that pH can help roots from absorbing some nutes and over absoring others. Came back from the store mixed it in, I guess I put too much but I'm at 4.9. public water pH is 8.9, here in my kitchen and I'm going out to buy a gallon of water, refeed the plants and hopefully that will solve a problem.
The moral of this long story is that I would reccomend to anyone before cutting down or increasing nutes to test pH first as that might be the main problem.
And a question for anyone who managed to read this whole thing: once I fix the pH prior to pouring the water into the AG why did it change overnight and did I do anything wrong?
Also, once the water is changed I will go into flowering phase as my babies are 4 weeks old. Also, the two original seeds I have planted, came from the same bag I bought some months back, one is sativa and the other indica. I am pretty sure since one only grows 5 leaves in the bunch, while the other has 7 and a tiny one, total of 8.
And once this is all resolved, I might end up with two beautiful healthy MALES :)
Still I hope for the best!

dude im new to the indoor growing but i know that if you over nute or somehow stunt the plants growth,(by trimming etc.) then it takes at least a weeks for them to recover, sometimes more. im using cfl's so one day i was blazed outta my gord and i trimmed the shit outta the little bitches. lets just say it took the plants about a week to recover. maybee even a little longer. just because you made the situation better for now doesnt mean there all of a sudden better, gotta have patience bro. they'll be back. and yea that would be sick of they were males:hump:
 
here they are, i was gone from wednesday until today due to a road trip. but had a buddy that took care of them. couldnt rely on the girlfriend to take care of them. startin to get thicker

LOL, you and I are on the exact same day of flowering! I looked at your pics and thought of how similar they look to mine, then I looked at your days in flowering. Check out my link below in my signature, just posted pics too...
 
oh fuck no i wish i could get a pound. but yea i see what your sayin if you just look at the pictures. there gettin pretty big. that keef kicks ass, 3.1 grams of keef is a shit load:joint::blsmoke:
 
dude not gonna lie. if i leave my bedroom door open the entire apartment stanks. but if i keep that door closed and the closet door and turn on the homeade charcoal scrubber its reallly not bad.
 
i had to go out and buy a timed air freshner then squirts a mist every 9 minutes, and bought another air freshner. the smell is getting crazy.
my mom came over to my apartment the other day and opened the door and said "smells like pot in here", then she got to the top of my stairs and said" smells like skunk". my mom isnt a smoker either she just knows what it smells like....scary shit, so i bought the air freshners and its alot better. its gonna be a tough 3 weeks i have left, thats for sure
 
all of the fan blades that are up top near the cola seam to be dieing.
wilting and yellow, this is my first indoor grow and have no idea if this is usual. any advice would be appreciated
 
here are the pics from today, man these bitches are stinkin bad, bad to a point of havin to hack 'em down, its all been good until the last week and a half, and i have a stealthy setup too with a scrubber. if i leave my bedroom window open it clears the room out good and i have no odor but im in new england and it gets fuckin cold this time of year. today its like 45 so i have no problem with opening it but when it gets back down in the 20's and teens im gonna be screwed. but dont worry unless shit hits the fan there goin 60 days...
:blsmoke:wish me luck rollitup:blsmoke:

damn man thats fuking spectacular
how much do you think your gonna yeild?
did you get the info you needed about the cola leaves?
 
so your leave are turning yellow at the tips?
if so according to marijuana horticulture by jorge cervantes
your plant is shoeing nitroge defficiency
does your bloom nutrients have nitrogen at all?
 
I would agree about the nitrogen but also they are in the last part of the flowering stage and as with any plant that isn't a FLOWER, it produces flowers. So you have to understand a non-perrenial plant will show signs of death towards the end of flowering and thats why the trichroms turn red/brown. Clean water with no chemicals if you want to finish flowering on a good smoke. If you wanna try a bit of nitrogen then do so but only do it 1 or 2 days to see the results. If she perks then keep it going till the last week you decide shes done flowering.
