NICE!!! It looks like you took a picture of a tropical rain forest. There are so many plants you cant see the birds and animals roaming around lol. How many plants do you have total? Dude i would be really nervous with that big of a grow in my state. If i got caught i would do some serious prison time.. but with just 6 plants ill prob jus get locked up for half a year in county or maybe do a 120 shock treatment program.

my plants arent looking 100% healthy.. they look colorful and good but the leaves are wilting... the soil on top is BONE dry but when i stick my finger into the soil it feels like its a "humid wet" soil. Its not drippin wet but just a little... i dunno if i should water or not.

I collect my rain water from the apt. gutter system... its ppm is only 8 ppm... the Ph was 8.0 so i put some ph down in there and it dropped to 4.0 so i put some ph in there to bring it up some.. ill throw it out and get some fresh water next time it rains.. i got a 5 gallon bucket of it.

The tips of some leaves look burnt but the leaf itself is NOT spotted like nute burn... ill get some batteries and pic posted tonight!!!!

before i forget... the mold is deffiently not the vermaculite. There is some verm in there but this is not my concern. The mold is growin on top of some wood chips in the mulch.. its very minute and small and maybe not a concern.... ill wait till tonight to water.. hope to hear back from you before i do water... oh and i havent added any nutes and wont till it shows signs of sex which should be a few weeks

sorry about the mixed up paragraphs and random thoughts.. im in a big hurry so i can go study for a sociology test... peace

Thanks man. I have 15 plants, 12 purple afgani and 3 orange skunk.Try giving them a little water, about a cup or cup and a half right around the base of the stem. You could also spray them with plain water but not with the hps on them. It could be the light is a little to much for them. Maybe put some CFL's on them for a couple day's to see how they do or move the light a little farther away. And don't have to much air blowing on them. If it's to hot move the light instead. That's where the cfl's are really good, for seedlings. What is the temp right where the plants are? 70-75 would be best probably. If it is a water issue you should see improvement in a couple hours. I've never had any mold on top of the soil and the Foxfarm has been great for mine with no nutes. I did give them some organic when I transplanted them. Not to much about 700 ppm but the Calmag gives me about 200 of that. I was going to cut it in half but forget when I gave it to them (and ya I got high first). They show a little burn, just a couple tips on different plants. I should have given them plain water, or water with no nutes. But I didn't worry to much since it was organic base nutes. I'm tryng a different one this time, still AN stuff though. Iguana juice grow and bloom. I was going to use the Mother Earth Tea as a base but I don't think it is really made for a base nute. It is made to be an addition to a chemical base mix. But I sold enough to pay for it and what I needed to get for my light so what the hell right? I'll check back for pis, not to busy tonight. I do need to do some cloning but If I don't get to it I'll just do it on the weekend.

Almost forgot, remember that the less stuff you have in your water the less ph adjuster you need to use to change it. Once it hits the soil you should be good. And if you want when you give them a good water next time do something so you can collect enough water that has run through the soil. Run it through a coffee filter to get the big stuff out and check the ph and ppm of that. Making sure you know what it was before you put it in. I think that is the way to do it. Here's a link on doing that in case I'm wrong.

This is a good one too. Mine were starting to look like an issue (my mothers) and I had been skimping on the Calmag (just lazy) and one watering with it in there and a day or two and they made a complete turnaround. Like other things it's not always what you might think. You might not be low on a certain nute but something else is causing a lockout. Which was my problem.

sorry but its stormin out here big time and i cant walk to get any batteries.. i did splash a cup of water (total) on top of all 6 plants (1/6 cp per plant) just to wet the very top of the soil... i felt the soil half way down and its still wet so if the roots have grown to the bottom then water is out of the issue.. i think its the heat/humidity/wind issue and not water nor nutes... i raised the light up 3 chain lengths.. i dont think there is much of an issue or has been.. i may have overreacted earlier when i said i have problems.. its jus a small thing.. but i will try to get sum pic ASAP

It would be best if you knew what the temp was also. It can be a way to count it out as a possible problem and is best to know for sure. Just like checking your ph and ppm.

i have a digital thermometer in there and the humidity stays around 25% and the temps hit 90 max.. thats on the ground.. i dont know what it gets on top the plants.. prob a little higher... it averages around 80 on the ground... so its a good chance it could be the temps

Ya, the high temps and low humidity. Those are not the ideal numbers to have. See if you can scrounge up a humidifier somewhere. You can get one fairly cheap, maybe less than $20 for a cheap one. I think the heat might not be so bad if it was a little more humid in there. But of course that could bring other problems if it's to warm and humid. Maybe you can pimp yourself out to fat chicks for some extra money?? Like Quagmire said "fat chicks need love too, but they got to pay for it". Good luck. Let's see some pics!!!

hash man.. 15 plants come on lol.. it looked more like 150 to me but if you want to say 15 then ill go with that ... they all look really good and i totally appreciate you givin me enough advise to convince me to do a soil grow.. i might never do another hydro grow unless im wanting a fuckin huge ass plant.. this soil is 100X easier to grow with then the hydro

I'll try to get some pics when the light is off. The mylar on the walls makes it look like it's twice the size that it is, even in person. It's pretty cool. That bright light just fucks up the pics. I really liked having the MH bulb in because of the color. I still have to get a second one when these are done flowering. Ya, I do like the soil for the less work it takes. But what I really like is that it tastes and smells better too. I was thinking about doing another hydro on the next run but only one plant. I think you should be able to get the taste close to soil in hydro if you put the right things in. I think hydro is great and can be lots of fun to do but the soil is just so much easier. I know I can get a better yield with the hydro as long as every goes well enough. Soil can be more forgiving also and gives you time to fix things before they get to bad. I want to try one with different nutes. Some organic stuff from AN for a base nute that I got for my soil. I'll use some chemical stuff for boosters. No problem on helping with the soil. I'm glad you tried it, For what you have going I thought you might like it. My first soil grow here I got over 5 oz from 2 plants that I started with CFL's and finished with the 400w. They were about 24" tall. As they grow you should maybe try to put something reflective around them or at least on 2 sides. That will help the sides get more light as they get bigger. How tall did you want to grow them?

I want to grow them a foot tall and want them to look like big colas growing straight from the soil .. thats my prefered grow.. i have 6 going and 3 will probably be male so once they get bigger i can cut the 3 down and have more room for my precious girls

Well, that's one way to keep your plants warm. I hate to say it though she looks like someone that should not know about the plants. Is this the one that was giving you problems before? Other than that probably one of you more interesting posts for sure. She has one hell of a figure. You need to submit a pic to "Soft Secrets", Its a grow magazine from the UK. You could win some free seeds. The wife say's she won't do it, I'll have to get her drunk enough some time and get some pics haha. It's a good magazine too. http://www.softsecrets.nl/ Good tunes too. Hendrix was the man on guitar, IMO the best. The things he could do with that thing.
