hey guys what am I doing wrong?! I have one plant thats actually doing OK..I think its because its been in a big pot for a while already.. Other than that I have a few blue rhino plants that just wont grow.

I started by using 4-27w cfls but switched to 8 bulbs a few days ago.

I was using party cups with some organic MG and 30% perlite. Watered with Poland spring, up until yesterday when they got some blood meal/molasses tea.

ANY IDEAS?!


Today they got transplanted to 10.5" pots. The medium is Promix premier, 20% perlite, 2 tbsp of lime and 2 tbsp of 10-3-3 bat guano. I was told to add EWC but they arent in stock yet around here. What do you guys think about this mix...

Im going to get some nutes in the next week or 2 (if I see some solid growth). What do you people suggest?

I have a link to the grow in my sig if you guys can check it out...

Thanks alot!kiss-ass

Try using a little microbes to promote growth. Don't use spore forming use living microbes. Quantum Growth is the brand I use(light version) and it is incredible on clones, propergating or just use it during all plant phases. Theres no messing around with different products during different phases. I have reduced fertilizer rates and all pesticide and fungicides i used to use. I have healthier soil which gives me healthier plants the microbes create the sugar the plant needs ten times faster than the plant can itself. I order the product through douglas speed and associates out of Fl. Their website is douglasspeed.com it cost pennies compared to the other products on the market. The yield increase is mide blowing.

stunted plants could be caused by many diffrent things from ventilation to simply not enough water or an overdose of nutes . not enough light makes them strechy so its not your lights could be they were rootbound in that small cup you had them in. this is just something to give you an idea im sure youll be fine

These are my Blue Himalaya autos from the attitude. They popped outta the coco about 2 weeks ago, and they are still very small. I was watering just about eveyrday the 1st week and now its about every 3 days. My tap water is 80-105 ppm, and the ph is about 7.6-7.8. I think i need to adjust my ph but i'm not sure if that's the problem. I grew last year and NEVER paid attention to ph and had NO problems. my temps are 75-83 during the day so probably around 65-70 at night. (room temp). I have 5x26w cfls (6500k) for the seedling stage. whats the hold up? they should be bigger by now. what do you guys think the problem is? the cotelydon's are yellowing, but the real leaves are usually more pronounced when they fall off.

im pretty sure that your ph should be way lower. like around 6 for hydro and a little higher for soil...thats what I thought?
