G'day everyone. I had a wicked female plant about 3 or 4 weeks of flowering. It was grown indoors and outdoors in regular soil and a pot. I found some Super Phosphate and mixed that up, I usually mix up a medium-high content of a nitrogen organic nutrient called Blood and Bone. Anyway the Super Phosphate totally fuckd it. The nexy day it was droopy and it got worse till the leaves were burnt yellow and my immature buds on the plant were very dark green and unusual, so I just ripped it out, took what I could smoke and threw the rest away.
That was probably the best you could do under the circumstances. I try to stay away from large amounts of super anything, your plants need balance not super.
I have just received a 400w digital ballast which is MH+HPS, it was 200 bucks with a free HPS bulb. I have a reflector that plugs into the ballast so I'm hoping on starting a new crop using 400watt MH+HPS bulbs for vegging and flowering. Has anyone tried Super Phosphate as a fertilizer? I think it sucks and I wont be using it. Can anyone give me tips on the best way to get started under lights? As this is my first time I'm going to grow in soil under these lights. PLZ HELP,...Danny
Welcome to our group Danny, lots of information you can use is avaiable here. You might also want to check
www.SeeMoreBuds book,
Marijuana Buds for Less. Your light is not the same, the rest of it could be, he used Miracle Grow soil and water, properly ph'd and administered, took pictures of everything you need to know, and his results are not to shabby, 8 oz from 3 known female plants. There are a few threads here that discuss the book. VV
35yr.exp.my god you guys make it so friggin complicated.been usin since 73.seen ,smoked,an sold tons.i stuck a couple scwag seeds in a pot couple mos. ago.(south facin)now what ?i think tere tiny but its my first grow attempt in all my years there are 3rd an 4th set of leaves comin out its couple of day b4 xmass will they bud next fall or earlier?
wow, some one closer to my age, well within 10 years maybe.lol If you planted seeds a couple of months ago and they are 3 or 4 nodes now, they are small, you are right. MJ plants grown under natural light will start to flower when they are getting less hours of sunlight, usually around twelve hours. They think it's getting to be fall, so they start flowering just trying to get ready to accept some pollen from a male plant. Spring up and Fall down.
When you say south facing, you are talking about a window sill? Go out in the yard and find a weed that is growing, compare its growth to your plants, I think yours may not be getting enough light??
