Im back!!2nd try going fine.help me keep it that way

I think you got something in the soil that's causing the slow down in growth, I would try flushing the soil to see if it helps the plant. If it does speed up the growth should return to normal eventually.

cool..thnx for the time ropesmoker..yeah i find myself often looking for budshots to..but im a newbie and its all so fresh and im like all interested in every stage..cant wait till my next grow..this one is fine but the next will be great i havent gotten far but from my first attempt(an attempt was all it was,i only gotsprouts)to now i have gained so much knowledge and overall patience for these plants..update soon..new growth lookin sweet

what kind of camera are you using, .
to upload pics, press reply then add attatchments.
wait for them to download
then attatch
then post reply.
if your photo's are too big take some more, and have another go.
when taking plant pics, use the marco mode, or the flower symbol if you camera has this.
i dont understand why you cannot download your pics, ive never had any probs, ever.
only when i started, just keep trying.

thnx crazy mental..stick around i got some good pics comin up in like 5 0r 10 min

LOL.. hey, finally read through everything. =)

First rule: Never over analyze the grow. Seriously, try to forget about them. You over analyzing will only cause more problems. It's much easier to over love.

Go out and get a liquid ph test as well.

Seriously, I'd transplant out of that soil asap. Even if you don't right now though- when that month growth spurt kicks in, you will. LOL. =)

new soil???yeah i kinda figured that the hard way..my only REAL problems were all becouse of the soil.."feeds for 30 days" my ass,....mre like "burns the hell outta you plants in 30 days"..lol seriously though your right..and thanxs for being here milf..iv e witnessed you actually saving a couple of grows..hope i dont need to be saved but if so ill feel better to run to the journal and consult the creator of kiki, godess of all cfl plants..lol..will my plants be able to stay in these pots or no..if no then what size pot should i get..i now have 8 in pots..and how long will 2 cfls each last on these plants..thnx

Wow.. I can't read through your whole post without laughing. LOL.

What people don't realize is that miricle grow and the like is made for weekend gardeners- not peace producing farmers, our lovlies need to be pampered for the best outcome..they need a little something more than some flowers on a windowsill. Think they could figure out the whole nutrient debacle? LOL...

Bah, I didn't save any plants- I just let people hear them better... just listen, you're plants WiLL speak to you.. you'll see... same with the names.. get high, go spend some time with your plant, talk to it, play music for it.. it'll tell you its name.

Hm.. Kiki.. gonna put her back in my avatar.. =)

Well, the pot, you're going to want to transplant prolly when the month growth spurt kicks in. Just go buy a painters bucket, drill some holes into it. =) Cost like 2 bucks.. more room for roots, the more room they have to grow.. more roots=more foliage= more buds. You want 3 gal containers normally- I like the 5 gal better myself tho.

Um.. whats the watt on the cfls?

23=100..thats what im using now..2 of each per plant..

Ok, so it's two of your bulbs for one of mine. =) Seriously, invest in the 42 watt cfls if you can, for cfl grows the more bulbs the better- and when theres a bunch of cfls it will get hott, so its just smarter to get bigger bulbs.... LOL.. she'll be ok on the light for now. I'd add more lights in a few weeks.

thnx..milf..hey how many lights you think ill need total..isnt there a minimum per plant or something?

well..nothin much new...i attempted to fim poof,hopefully multiple tops appear..it has 4 coplete nodes..i fimmed the beggining of the fifth(did i do it right??)..i just clipped of like 90% of the new growth that WAS showing..im surp[rised at this plant..it stands 2 or 3 inches and workin on the fifth node..short but very bushy,leaves all over,in beetween,EVERYWHERE...i love it!!!slow poke is still workin on those leaves inbeetween the first node..my oldest plant is my smallest due to nute burn..at least it aint dead..and mary is gettin big leaves and growing at a satisfactory rate...i plan to flower when they reach a foot or so..comments please=thanks in advance..1

I think I've heard some people around here saw like a minimum of 3 bulbs or something- I think that's hogwash. LOL.. Put as many cfls in there as ya can.. for vegging the amount of light isn't AS important- the distance of the light is more important.. also, the plant need a LOT less lumens during vegging opposed to flowering, so for most cfl growers, growth will seem fine- yet flowering is usually a disappointment. In Jorge's bible, he says that the maximum usable light during vegging is about 17,000 lumens- where as the most light it can use during flowering is well over 100,000 lumens... you don't NEED that much, but that is OpTiMaL. Just wanted you to see exactly why cfls are harder to grow with... get as many bulbs as you can. LOL.. I had 12 42 watt cfls over kiki in flowering, most people don't go over the top that much.. Kiki's 3 clones though were vegged under 6 42 watt cfls, and then were flowering under the 12 42 watts. The buds weren't as big as Kiki's, but pretty comparable.. nute problems and the like will negatively impact your yield.. no doubt..

thanks..that info is pretty helpful..poof is doin gret witjh the fim and all, just cant wait to see how mant tops grow in place..

wats up..well sorry i been out for a bot but im here witha n update..i may have to take pics with a shitty camera though..well so far slow poke isliving its name to the fullest..i may give it like another week but its just takin up space growing so slowly....poof is doing great i think i see multiple tops growing back but my newbie eye isnt trained enough too know what that actually looks like..but all in all its doing great and i feel like i fimmed at the perfect time and its gonna turn out to be a greay thing..marie has just gopt wayy bigger in these last few days ..a little taller but for its size the leaves are pretty big..i got nutrient spikes..i broke a lil peice of one and stuck it in poofs soil..poofs biggest leaves seem to bee asking me for nitrogen..so i figure if its ready then ill hit it with a small amount then work my way up..pics in like the next hour
