Well, this is my first grow. I am already 3 weeks into flowering now, but I thought I'd post semi-beginning to present. My girl and I have been through some serious issues already. Anyhow, got some Jock Horror from Nirvana, sprouted in a shot glass full of PHd water, and started under 2' daylight flouros. :leaf:

Upgraded to 400W HPS. By the way, this is totally organic. Planted in Supersoil, Jamaican Cave Bat Guano, Worm Castings, and Blood Meal. These pics are about 4 weeks into veg. (Had some growth stunting issues, and nute problems).:leaf:

IT'S A GIRL!!!! :-P

This is about 1 week into flowering. She has really revived :clap:

Watering every other day, with Molasses (2 TBSP per gallon) [have noticed no negative effects, just positive, with that amount], a squirt of lemon juice, cap full of peroxide [for roots, the soil is a little compact and afraid to transplant at this stage], a pinch of pure Nitrogen granules, Miracle-Gro Bloom Booster, and Alaska MorBloom. Spraying pure water on the leaves at this point, to see how she will react to my nute serum. :leaf:

2 weeks into flowering.... :weed:

Same nutes, no change in watering or lighting schedule. Oh yeah, she has been 12/12 for about 3 weeks.

The 2 babies are suffering though. I have a case of little worms, I believe they are fungus gnat larvae... HOW DO I KILL THEM!!! My momma is a horticulturist, and she recommends just getting rid of the soil, rinsing the roots, and transplanting. Is there an easier way???:leaf:

Today's pics!!! :weed:

3 weeks into flowering. Yesterday, I introduced 3 DROPS of SuperThrive (Lowe's) into the watering schedule. GOD! That shit reeks! :spew:lol
She is doing great! I have about 40% perlite to 60% soil in the big plant, so she seems to not be having the issue with the worms. I think also that my use of the SuperThrive may make my grow non-organic now, as it has hormones in it. Hmmmm, am I correct?

The last picture is the same as #2, just played with Photoshop =)

Lemme know what ya guys think!! :bigjoint: Feel free to post! :leaf:

Well, I just decided to take out ALL pest contaminated soil, rinsed roots in distilled water, and planted in FRESH soil I just bought today (organic) and perlite. (About a 60/40 mix like before) Planted the babies in some dissolving organic 4" pots, then put them in more soil (in pic). I got some ORGANIC pesticide (Dr. Earth Organic Insect Spray, about $9) For the big plant, I removed the top 4-5 inches of soil, examined for pests (only found like 3 little shits), sprayed a light covering of the organic pesticide on the surface, and replaced the top 4-5 inches with the same new mix. Then I put about an inch of Perlite just on the top. :leaf:

Also, the pix of the smaller plants, you'll notice the new leaves are like a neon green color (thanks to the bugs). Cuz they were getting plenty of N. Anyway, I'll post some more pix within the next week of updates!!

Annnnnywho, here's the pix!! :bigjoint:

Ok.:shock: Here's the pix. I am worried (maybe for no reason, dunno). All of the mature leaves are falling off, or turning yellow, or getting spots, etc.

Take a look at the pictures, and you'll see that about a week ago's pics, it was nice and bushy. Now if you take a look at the ones from today (below), you'll see how skimpy it looks :-?

Am I worrying for nothing??? Don't the buds need those leaves to help them produce more (absorbing light, nutes, etc.)? She is only 4 weeks into flowering. ANY advice would be very helpful. :hump:

As far as the little ones go, the top leaves are actually white. VERY healthy looking, but lack chlorophyll. It just got transplanted.

Thanks guys!! :joint:

Well, 3 weeks exactly today (flowering). Had a thripe issue SERIOUS in the 2 smaller ones, and one starting in Mama plant. Mama got flushed with 6 gallons of PHd water today.

Figured out my camera, PIX 4 and 7 are the results of a Thripe attack. The sucked almost ALL of the chlorophyll out of the plant (white areas.) HOPEFULLY I will be able to save it. Chopped it in half, and used root tone to hopefully get some new healthy roots growing. PIC 8 is the other one, recovered A LOT from Thripe attack (used to look like the other one!).

The other pix are my newly re-organized grow area. If you scroll up and look at the plant a week ago-ish, it was WAY bushier. Half of the fan leaves are gone now, due to disease I assume. Does she look like she is going to be ok with all those leaves gone???? Lemme know please, as I know nowhere else to get advice. Thanks guys!!! You have been so much help!! :leaf:

Well, it turns out that I had a piece of SHIT PH reader...one of those aluminum soil probes. Bought a new PH reader today, OH MY GOD!!!! Her PH was at 5.2!!!!! The other reader said 6.3 :o

Hopefully I have remedied the problem before she went downhill :? I flushed her again and got the PH to 6.4 Keeping my fingers crossed. She is only 23 days flowering, so should be okay after a bit.

RE: branching from above...I have been FIMMING (sp?) every 3 nodes to give her so many. :hump: Works great!
