Haha carl,
im not trippin about u using my time or anything like that. Its just that you DIDNT help me out and you DIDNT point me in the right direction, regardless of your own personal knowledge. And yeah you told me to get others opinion's, thats nice. but like i said, if you took any time to read previous posts, which in this case, would take you probably all of 2 minutes to go through the entire thread, you would have also known that i did get other people's opinions, and thats what brought me to my conclusion on what was wrong with the plants. you also would have known that the symptoms showed up long before i started using any nutes whatsoever. you should never tell someone on here to go "fark" themselves though. But maybe just use more discretion with your posts. it sucks when grow journals are cluttered up with useless replies

Might want to relax a bit more, he was just giving you his opinion. People wont want to try and help you if they run the risk of just being snapped at.

It's all good baby.. He was correct that had I followed his post from the beginning (i scanned over it) I would have seen he was aware of the issue & was looking for help.

To be honest.. I was just day baking in front of the computer & saw some burnt plants.. Almost like a protective mother I wanted to help.. I didnt notice till I reread the whole post that he had actually USED Bat Guano as fert. I was just making a Batman Joke!!

I didnt really understand why I got snapped at but after going over it all again I then understood.

Good Vibes & good smoke to all out there & I really hope your babies get better.

Thanks carl,
also as you might have been able to tell i get emotional about those girls. I too feel like a protective mother hahaha. Its been a rough couple weeks with them so thanks for understanding. also i wasnt high when i snapped at you. but im happily baked right now...

peace

updates will be up later today

Gave the Blue dreams their nutes today. (peruvian bat guano (10-10-2), Fox Farm Tiger Bloom (2-8-4), and molasses) They each got a pint of water ph'd to around 6.5. The $100 OG looks great today. I watered it with 3/4 cup of plain water ph'd to 6.5.

they are sleeping now but Here are pics from earlier today:


Peace

One of your posts mentioned something about a plant wilting really fast. Well, one thing that will wilt a plant really fast is temperature. I'm mentioning this because I've not noticed any information in your thread concerning temps. What's your temps been at? And make sure you're getting a reading from canopy level near the lights. Besides shitty soils and pH being off, one of my biggest enemies has been temps.

Dude, that was completely it. after my plant wilted i checked the temp and it was WAY HIGH (like 95!!!) so i upgraded to some more powerful fans and now im running at about 79-82 degrees. I felt like an idiot after i finally figured out temp was the problem but im glad is all under control now. Thanks Boonierat

Wutsup guys,
Woke up today and was happy to see that all three girls keep on growing fast. Might be hard to tell in the pictures but they have more and more new growth each day. I gave the $100 OG a cup of water with bat guano in it (1 tblsp./Gal.) because it started to look a little thirsty. Within 20 minutes she started to perk up again.

Here are today's pics, tell me what you think:

The beginning of the video is really cheezy and crap, you can skip to about 40 seconds in but i think that this would do wonders for your grow, as you have a pretty small / enclosed space

home made swamp cooler... in a way
Hope this helps you out a bit

I would recommend you stop using bat guano or any raw fertilizers for the matter. Their is a lot of science behind the nutrients you want to give to your plants and unless you understand it your better off going with a 3-part or A&B mix. Personally I use the full Canna line of nutrients (Coco A & B, Rhizotonic, Cannazym, Boost, PK 13/14) with a coco medium. I also add 5ml per gallon of Botanicare CalMag to supplement the lack of CalMag in the Canna line. When you start using things like guano and other raw fertilizers you are opening yourself up to many deficiency and overdose problems.

I would recommend trying a 1 part nutrient at least if you're a first time grower and want to keep things very simple. I have used Botanicare before and it works well for a 1 part, http://www.americanagritech.com/fertilizers/pure-blend-pro/pure-blend-pro-grow

Also, pull off those dying yellow leaves. When your plants aren't green they aren't photosynthesizing anymore. Always remove dead or near dead leaf matter so your plant can focus it's energy on new, green, healthy growth.

Why the hell did you pay 100 for a clone ? Need to buy some more ? LOL

KingofQueen, $100 OG is the name of the strain...

nomaninsf, thanks for the suggestion. I plan on doing a more perfected grow after this one. This is my first time and I am learning as I go. I will just stick with what I got and learn along the way. I'm sure i will know exactly what i want to use by the time my next grow comes around.

KiefCrazy,
That is actually a pretty creative idea. just dont think i have any room for that where i am growing. i have been able to keep the temp down around 79 so i think ill be ok.

Wutsup guys,
I moved my plants to a different grow area yesterday where they will be till harvest. Not much else to report from today.

Here are the pics:

Unless nomaninsf knows 100% for sure what hes talking about I wouldn pull those yellow leaves off. The plant still has use for those.

Yeah thats what i was thinking. at the very least, the rest of the plant is just pulling stored nutrients from them...Correct me if im wrong though.

Wutsup guys,
Today I watered the $100 OG with 1.25 cups of water ph'd to 6.5. Everything is growin. I FIM'd the Blue dream on the far right right when i started 12/12 and it is finally (about 5 days later) starting to show some leaves opening up.

Here are the pics from today:

Hey guys, not much to report today. Here are some pics for you to check out. please reply with comments, tips, observations, or whatever.

Wutsup guys? I am 1 week into flower now and things are looking pretty good. I noticed so pistils start to emerge today. They were very tiny and pretty much clear, and hard to see. sorry my camera isnt good enough to focus in on them. No watering done today, all the soil is still moist. It seems like the amount of time between waterings keeps seeming to increase. is this normal?

Here are some pics from today:


Peace
