this is what one RIU user suggested to me...



  • Mag, phos and potassium defs. Not nute burns. Roots organic nutes will always leave you with defs. The dry nutes you have to use 3 times what the directions say. If you want all in one nutes. Dr. Earth tomato and vegetable are pretty good. The amount of npk doesn't mean anything. Less is more. Alot of companies put way too much phos and potassium causing abuse to the plants. Its about a balance of minerals. Nute burns will start with reddish tips than advance along the edges moving inward.

    I myself topdress down to earth vegan mix, kelp meal, neem meal, rock dust, and worm castings​

gotta take a look at the options lol had a lot of info thrown at me lately, i really don't think its nute burn, if it is then these are really sensitive strains because i have been feeding at 1/4 strength....
 
My GDP was a very sensitive strain all the way til I last fed them,I culd nevr go full strength with them,was always havn 2 deal wit nute burn til I figured out they culdnt take full strength:confused:

I wish I had a 1000w lol


Nice! finally got around to checking out your grow! All I have to say is weed is weed and its going to get smoked either way. Im happy with your grow because I just started my first plants ever and if I get to there I'd say that's an accomplishment. Well done :) just correct your errors and get that tent popping again amd you'll be even more successful the second time around I know it!

so, the room that my tent is in has a closet in it, that's fairly big.....it is 43" wide, 63" long and has an 8 foot ceiling. I was thinking about ditching the tent next grow, getting me a 400 CFM inline fan, because my ducting already runs up through the ceiling to the attic in the closet....and just moving the grow into the closet, what do you guys think? would i need a bigger light? i think i could get away with the 400....

Just go for a 600! Not as big as 1000 but I was reading the weed bible I have and it says 600w hps is ideally the best for flowering and wouldn't come with some of the issues of 1000w I'd day with that extra room you could bang out some pretty plants! Just buy a roll of Mylar for the walls and boom pretty grow closet with more space. :) just a friendly opinion.

Yeah I was thinking 600w myself buddy!
Or you could paint the walls white with white plastic paint.It's a lot easier.Although a closet needs really really good ventillation..like any other place.Why would you want to move in ? Don't you use the closet ? If not sure,whatever floats your boat ;) . All you need to do is to set up your environment there and of course it's doable..!! a 600wattter would be the most efficient imo.You could get away with that 400.I suggest you can use that 400watt now,see if you're having any issues(like heat etc)and then go higher.You won't have to throw away anything you've bought but it might be unnecessary to buy another set of ballast+bulb.

Haha,well whatever suits your needs.You could do a perpetual grow in those areas and use both of them ;) .

Well I'm kinda trying to keep electricity to a minimum not exactly on the legal side of the border. Lol but I have gave that a thought.

you can veg plants with 2 t5s or a couple cfl's at a low wattage.100 would suffice.I'm using a 250 HPS and they love it :D . so you will be under 1000 watts even if you flower with a 600.i'm on the same side brother..be careful :)

Yeah I thought about getting a Cfl reflector a 200w. Didn't know if t5 would be better. But I found a Cfl reflector with 200w bulb for $79.00 socket and everything ready to plug in

hi guys, been a while...sorry to see the state of your plant cdd... but it still looks like you have some nice buds developing there so I hope you can bring it home. I have been super busy with real life so just checking up on all your grows before getting back to that. Not sure if any of you are going to buy ESO and play that but I already pre-purchased it and would love to hit that game up with some of you if your keen, send me a PM if you are. Also bought the Diablo 3 reaper of souls expansion so yer its going to be a little challenging with all the real life stuff to fit in 2 new releases coming out in close proximity.

Here are some updates of my girls, hydro is about 2-3 weeks off
2 clones outside are flowering (they are so cute 1 1/2 foot high no topping or lst just going to be a few branches of solid buds) and the big White widow x Skunk is totally recovered and just started sending out its first pistils of flower, if it does well in flower it is going to be good, a mid smoke between my flower now, outdoor grow and my clone grow.
Chucked out one Northern Lights clone but have 2 x SNS 2x Darkstar and 1 Northern Lights for my next grow, they are already about 1 to 1 1/2 foot high so are waiting for flower room, ill be putting them straight into flower I think, I cant afford big power bill and trying to cut back, probably result in little lower yield but doesn't matter.
Will be starting 2 Girl Scout cookies in about a weeks time also, just going to grow those out for a third grow and clone them, will soil a clone if its a good grower, want to run GSC outdoors next spring with some autos so going to try keep one going.




Couple of nute issues during flower, but I would not even consider them issues, just adjusted nutes slightly, the WWxS looks much more spindly buds than the other 2 so hope they bulk up in the next two weeks.
