Hey, your plants are lookin good! And your growbox really isn't so ghetto anymore, like they've said, haha. I haven't updated my pics in a while, but mine are doing good too! I really like how they are filling out with branches near the bottom, especially on plant01. Plant04 is definately suffering from something, can't put my finger on it though. I don't know if I should start flowering soon? :S check 'em out and let me know what ya think....

nervanuh... looks like you're overwatering them... those leaves should be reaching up for the light.... not curling at the tips... / it could also be the ph of the water you're using.... how often do you water? is it just tap water? im no expert i am a newbie myself.. but something doesn't look right to me..


heres a few new pics...

You're right on track. Nervanah. it looks like your PH is too low and yes you might be overwatering too. Looking good Tylar

okay, how do I adjust the ph of my water? I usually let it sit out for a day or two before watering (tap water) Could it have been because the roots were squished together? I just transplanted to bigger pots and into alot better soil. the roots were massive. I will lay off on the watering and see what happens. I also just topped them as well, so hopefully they will recover alright.
Check out the new pics if u get a chance......

you can goto your local grow shop and get ph+ and ph- just throw some of that in your water prior to feeding your plants and you are set. It differs from areas but usually you will only need one bottle of either. Your ph from your tap will rarely change. Ocean forest is great soil. wish i would of started off with FF light warrior.. would of made a huge difference in my grow!!

i decided to put my bbs into flowering today... they're all over 8 inches tall..
should i add my nutes now(Fox Farm Open Sesame) or wait until they show sex?.
here are a few pics!!!

actually i haven't added any yet.. all i have right now is beastie bloomz... 0-50-30... it says not too add until middle of flowering.... i just don't get paid until friday to go get FF open sesame... is what i was planin on using... should i just water tomorrow with beastie bloomz or would it be bad to do that ya think? should i just hold off until the weekend and get the FF open sesame?
 
day 5 of flowering! and one of my plants decided to show me what she had under her dress!!! ;o
two white hairs popped out the top confirming her female!!!!!
it's weird because out of my plants she's the biggest. im 70-30 on one of the others it's females... and 70-30 that the other is male!
but here's the best pic i could take...
they're about 14 inches tall now im switched out two of the 26w 6500k cfls for two 26w 2700k!!!:hump::hump:P1010015.jpgzoom.jpg
