Any advice on what do with my miracle grow. i guess i can just wait it out. Do you think i can start adding nutrients? Like 15-25% reccommended dosage? Also I have 1 brand new seedling not even a week old all in organic with wormcastings peatmoss, ect. And its looking pretty damn green i will post pics of just that one in a couple days certainatley looks like a brighter green using that all organic. No signs of burns or bugs yet either.

Oh yeah...meant to say that you can transplant now if you want to. As far as the feeding goes...you might could try a very low dose like 15%...there are some threads on the site about using MG and when to feed...you'll just have to do a search...do the advanced search and search "title only" for Miracle grow....if I find it I'll send you the link

Your welcome...did you make it to the 5th pg? Thats where the goods are.

Yes thats a great help thank you mate its my first time to grow and i need all the help I can get with my purple wizard

I dont know if im in the right section, but hopefully you guys can help. does anyone know the causes of stretched growth with twisted leaves. cant supply a pic right now. I know it cant be the lighting as the are new bulbs and are rougly 2ft away. can overfertilization cause both stretched growth and twisted leaves? there are no burns , spots, discoloring or dying leaves. only signs ive seen of overfert before are leaves curled down and burnt tips. but ive never had twisted leaves like this. temp is mint low of 70 high of 75. lots of air curculation. humidity 50%. ph is 6.5. only theory's i have are overfertilaztion, something in the well water that cant be detected through ph. or nutrient lockout from having a friend do the chore and perhaps he didnt mix well enough when adding the food. its not old fertilizer thats been sitting to long or anything. couldnt be overwatered because all the plants carry the same symptoms and some are dryer then others. oh ya, the symptoms are throughout each plant equally , not just new growth or old growth. any input would be greatly appreciated. thank you

so i just watered yesterday, one of my plants today the top leaf set are curled up like, bent back towards the center. did i water too much otherwise the plant looks fine

oh ya also i had mylar on the floor, thought i was all smart for making sure light would reflect back until .... underside of the leaves aren't meant to handle that much light some of the leaves were spotting yellow near the center of the leaves

I think mylar on the floor IS a good idea. Due to the additional distance from light to floor, then to first under leaves, curling is not the mylar cause, IMO. Also, Vik., is your light as close as possible to the plants without heat burn? 3' for 1000 watt, max. Everything else sounds fine.

Thanks, there's alot of good info here.

I didn't add it just because it was so close to the others....but you must not have gone to the links part... they blow that one outa water

I am growing Pot of gold and am a first time grower i decided to grow in the greenhouse but didn't realise what size the plants grew to so i bought a grow room.
Due to my plants being pot bound i decided to repot them into Bio bizz all mix i was then advised by the shop retailer to introduce the following fertilizers after 4 weeks. I had to wait a little long for my grow room so by the time the plants went in they had been in the all mix around 6-8 weeks but had no signs of any difficiencies. So after setting my room up i was advised to Bio bizz Bio grow NPK 8-2-6 and with this Bio Bizz Alg.a.mic 1-1-1 everyday and then when flowering to add on top of the already fertilizers Biocanna Bio Flores 2.5 -2- 5 any way i started off with the lowest dose there is starting with the first two with the plants still in the greenhouse and the same with the grow room for a week and then added the Bio Flores. But this seems to be overfertilizering my plants. Has anyone grown the strain pot of gold and started off in the green house then moved into the grow room (tents) what fertilizing tips does anyone have? Help for a beginner please

i'm surprised you have no signs off defficiencys yet, although it can take up to 6 weeks to show, i'd start a regular feeding schedule if i were you, better to do that than to wait for the inevitable to happen, as a matter of interest wat size pots you using?

Love the pics thats better then typing what you think is wrong just compair....above...when adding nutes you need to balance your ph, if you don't you'll exp nute lockout like me oh well this is supposed to be fun

um im not as "brainy" as most and alot of the descriptions have yellow in it,lol, so u got any pics that show whats what so i can fig this out?.... or in the middle of the top of the plant is turning yellowish/Lt.green and one of them the bigger leaves are growing upward by themselves....wtf?

Yeah...just click on some of the links below the first post in this thread....lots of pics.

i need help.i read numerous defficiency charts and books and can't seem to find the prob anywhere.so if ne one can identify this would be greatly app.!the stems are rock hard and the leaves are hard and rough and in between the veins are like raised up! Do you think i might have too much light on them?HELP!

hey purpdaddy what up. man i may be wrong but sometimes when the humidity is too high the plants leaves tend to expand like that, so they can grow more surface area to get rid of the extra moisture. go to lowe's or home depot and get a thermometer with a humidity gauge on it so you can see where you are, and if its too high(my flower and veg areas stay between 35%-55%) . also a fan and/or an a/c unit will help circulate and somewhat dry the air a little. hope that helps you out a little bit.


PEACE!!!

Dude this is the second time that you have seen me on a post and had something negative to say. Well look here let me tell you something, first of all this is a thread by someone who needs some help, and that's all i was doing. Just offering some advice. Secondly, and most important, do you honestly think that you are so original that you could possibly be the only person on earth to think of the name ZEN MASTER and that evryone else in the world that chooses to use that name is copying YOU, YOU and only YOU, man c'mon get real. Dude if you have an issue with me write me a PM, say what you have to say, and get off my DICK!!
