So are you saying I should take out the CO2? It wont help?

I know I always read and hear never give nutes, but Im really clueless on what is wrong with them. I figure they are goign to die anyways. I got more seeds to give it a go just annoying that this is my third time and still no luck.


And your analogy makes sense. Grrrrrr just want to know what I am doign wrong already (


*EDIT* I just FIMMED my Clone. Hope that starts to show some results that I did it correctly, lol

ya. take co2 out until you want to flower... it actually does more damage. no nutes! temp could be a bit lower, but it's cool. what's the distance of your light... 400 watts 10-12" 600 watts 12-14" (forgot what u have) in soil water once every 2-4 days . . lift the containers after you water them (remember this weight) lift them every day and when they feel light, water them.
top 1&1/2" - 2" of soil should be dry...

YOU CAN SAVE THEM!!

Good luck, holmes!

I have 3, 23watt CFLS. Its a micro grow in a computer case.

The light distance is about 3-5 inches now. Somewhere around that. Only watered them 3 or 4 times now since planted which is about 15 days. Top inch or two have been dry when I watered. I always try to judge the weight before and after i water.

I really dont know whats wrong, I have been doing everything pretty correct from what I know.

But I will try to save them, but it isnt looking that good

Day 23 (2/28 ): Well im finally back, that week was a little harsh on them, but no major problems. Since I fimmed and had temperatures around 72 degrees it had a nice little slowing of growth too. The FIM results are looking good. I think I will knock it over to 12/12 any day, I would like my rhinos to go along for the ride, but they look like crap. Root growth looks amazing on the clone though, whole container is almost looking filled. I might have to transplant it this week sometime. Well enough talk heres the pictures. Any ideas how to save these rhinos or should I just give up? I am thinking the perlite is my culprit and I need to go out and get some of those little pellet things, I forgot what they are called. Anyways....

Does look like nute burn, why switch to 12/12 already?

I have to switch to 12/12 because this clone is getting pretty big and I am growing in a computer case, so its small. I dont have much room, but I dont need the room. But yeah, maybe Ill give it one more week and see if the rhinos can catch up a bit. I think I need to transplant them all because the one I did transplant is looking a lot better, well root growth wise.

Heres some pictures of the clone a couple hours after the watering I gave it. I added a fourth 23 watt CFL to my setup too with a Y splitter.

I set up a 16/8 cycle on my timer and now I seem to be debating If I should start to LST my clone sideways or just start to flower it. Also should I take it off the 18/6 and just flip it right to 12/12?

I am not familiar with this strain but I would say let it go another week or so before switching to 12/12. definately start tying over to one side. The plant is looking good. Keep up the good work!!

I will start to tie it over tomorrow and let it go another week, I hope I will still be able to keep the height issue down in this comptuer case.

I need to build a carbon filter too, been looking random places for something that I could use as the container for the activcated carbon, but I have not been able to find anything really. It also only needs to be fairly small since its only a computer case. Any idea where I can get some cheap net pots to use?

Home Depot is supose to carry some (i think) 7" net pots that might work for your application.

Day 24 (3/29): Rhinos look like crap, I dunno what to do any ideas? The clone is looking fanfuckingtastic to me. Growing in great, only thing I am worried about is the height issue, I think I need to switch to 12/12 soon. The stem is soo strong at the base it wont bend much to LST it. Should have started it earlier, haha.

KushMaster85: 7 Inch is a little big and I would need a smaller size too I believe, but I will have to check them out. Any idea about what section they might be in?

Mmmh I Am Not Sure But. I Would Guess Around The Watergarden Section. They May Have Smaller Ones Or Maybe You Could Cut It Too Work For Your Application.
One Thing That Might Work In Your Case Is To Use Those Inserts For The Aquarium Filter And A Bit More Activated Carbon And Attache That Some Way To Your Pc Case. You Can Find Those At The Local Pet Shop.

Kushmaster85: Thanks I will go and check that out this week and see what I can find.

willRavage: I wish I knew what we were doing wrong, so I could fix it, this is my third time this has happened, I want to give up out of frustration, but I will not. I have more ideas and hopefulyl one will fix it. I know they look awful and small for 24 days old, major stuntage.

jordann9e: Yeah I meant to type that, but I didn't do that. I was going to, but decided to keep them in veg for a couple more days.

I think I need to get some of those jiffy pots and start them off in there and then just transplant them and hope for the best. On top of that, I want to get some different perlite or peat moss because I know the soil is good.
