wow. thanks yes it does.
thanks for UR info.

and since her pot is only about a gallon I gave her half of the mixed water for now then tomarrow I'm gunna give her the other half of the water. cuz I don't wanna drown her in water all at once.

so just worndering about how long U been growen?

Rusty Trichome · #27 (**permalink**) Dec-02-2007, 15:56

Bad idea. Just because you mix a gallon of ferts, does not mean you need to use it all on one small pot, at one time. You'll kill your babies. When fertilizing your single, one gallon pot, I'd first give about a cup of clean water, then after a couple of minutes add a cup or two of the fertilized water mix. If the water drains out the bottom, add less the next time. (to me...runoff is a waste)
That's it. You do not save the rest to add later that day, and do not water your plants daily. I live in the desert with summer humidity levels in the teens, and I only water twice a week. You'll kill a cannabis plant if you keep the soil too wet all the time.
I've been growing off and on since the 80's, but only started taking it seriously when I got access to the internet.

hydrocannabis · #28 (**permalink**) Dec-03-2007, 02:47

ok so I never gave her the rest of the water today.
well hopfuly she will clomb back up the mountain to good greeness.

and uh since the 80's. damm dats a long time.

hydrocannabis · #29 (**permalink**) Dec-04-2007, 03:08

dammit all to hell me think she might be dieing.
so can she make it?

and also how do these look.
and I pray to mother nature and my good luck than there all females.

and if they all turn out female than to me that will mean that its a huge bag of luck.
because I haven't gotten a male bagseed since I started growing some 8-9 years ago.

thanks for any good info on my babe girl clone.

Rusty Trichome · #30 (**permalink**) Dec-04-2007, 08:29

First off...don't panic. All is not lost. This is where patience comes in handy. Please read entire post before doing anything.
Looks like minor nute burn is setting in. As you didn't apply any more of the fert mix, it may be ok. Kind of a catch-22...either flush with clean - ph balanced water, and risk root rot, or let her ride it out till she dries out for the next watering.

Perhaps a dedicated fan for a day or two, to dry-out the roots just a little bit quicker. Some leaves may turn brownish and curl along the edges (altho in picture 1 it looks like you simply dripped some fert mix on one of the leaves, and that drip burned the leaf.

If you could post a pix later today, or tonight, for side by side comparison, We'll see what she's doing.

OOPS My bad. I saw the first two pix, they look pretty much ok to me. (altho no clones in the pix) But, the third pix...the clones need flushing immediatelly. About 1/2 gallon of fresh, ph'd water each.

*gotta admit, 'the no male bagseed in 8-9 years' statement still has me chuckling

sociobud · #31 (**permalink**) Dec-04-2007, 08:47

Ya, I agree with rusty, don't panic-smoke a bowl (or 2) and relax. Just remember, it will take a few days until you can really see a change in plants. You can't get better from being sick in a day, right??????

and where might I find this.

and just so U know the 1 with all of the tops is a female clone. the other ones R seedlings that I hope R all females.

Rusty Trichome · #33 (**permalink**) Dec-04-2007, 14:30

The big one looks fine to me at this point. The little ones in the forefront of picture 3 look bad.
PHd water is simply the water you normally use for watering you ladies. (without nutes) The main reason I say PHd water is that I live in the desert with my own well, and have to adjust it every time I water. (the water comes out of the grounnd at 7.9 to 8.1 ph)
As I'm sure there are others in the same boat, I really don't want anyone coming back and saying "you didn't say anything about messin' with the ph..."
Please don't take it personal. It is simply a way of wording my posts to minimize my getting into trouble, and to minimize dopey/easy-to-make mistakes.

Anyway, I'd flush the seedlings as stated, and pull off the lower dead leaves. Hopefully will be just fine.

hydrocannabis · #34 (**permalink**) Dec-10-2007, 04:40

time for an up date on my garden.

ok so the seedlings R doing just fine. but no signs of sex yet.

the clone is still a yellowish looking but she is growing good.
gunna re-biggerpot her around a week befor I move her into the flowering box.

pix.

Shovelhandle · #35 (**permalink**) Dec-10-2007, 08:14

any new photos, hc?
Love to see 'em.

OOPS, I See now!
Shov

hydrocannabis · #36 (**permalink**) Dec-14-2007, 19:04

new update.
ok so I am gunna move them into the flowering room
sunday afternoon. and I am gunna re pot them both.
then I was gunna flip the lights to 12-12 around 1 week after they have been re-poted and in there new bigger home.

then after the week it'll be flowering time.

pix.

so whacha think of em?

and I know they need to be re-potted very soon. and I am gunna do it as soon as I can. I just gotta get a bit more soil and I'm good to go.
and I think three youngins in the 1 pot might have been over watered. so I am gunna back off the water. but last tusday they need a good flush.

well for now peace out and one love.

hydrocannabis · #37 (**permalink**) Dec-14-2007, 19:50

and I think I have witeflies. and I have been killing them with a wet Qtip. and it has been working ok so far. and I am gunna put in my pest strips I bought today.

hydrocannabis · #38 (**permalink**) Dec-15-2007, 08:22

ok so I hung up 2 out of the 8 sticky pest strips and now most of the whiteflys now dead and stuck to the pest strips.

and I just got done RE-POTTing them into bigger pots.

and I was gunna move them in to the flower box on sunday then after a nother 5 days I'll them flip to flowering cycle.

the 3 plants in 1 pot R now in a huge pot and 1 of em is a female as of 2 days ago.
the other 2 I ain't sure about sex yet. but I really HOPE there female also.
and this time if I see a HERMMIE/male they'll be more than dead on the spot.
and I had thought they were over watered. but when I took them out of there pot the soil was al most getting bone dry.

and as for the clone shes doing ok I guess. will see of the repotting of her will help.

anyway hers some new pix of the garden.
first 2 pix R of the 3 befor I repotted them in the bigger pot.
3ed pic if of them together in there bigger pots.
4th pic is of the 3 back in there veg box.
5th pic is of a spider I found.

who thinks they might do better now that there in the bigger pots.

hydrocannabis · #39 (**permalink**) Dec-15-2007, 23:27

anyone wanna comment on them.

hydrocannabis · #40 (**permalink**) Dec-15-2007, 23:47

and I heard that putting used coffee grinds in UR soil will make UR plants do better.
I heard dat it has nitrogen in it.
which I heard is good for UR veging plants.

but I ain't sure. have any of U other growers on here ever heard of this befor?

and 1 of the 3 plants has some kinda droopy leaves.
so could this be shock from the repoting of them.

there new pot is huge so I think they should have plenty of growing room.
so hope fuly thay will start growing better in the comming weeks.

now to smome a nother bowl. laters.

hydrocannabis · #41 (**permalink**) Dec-17-2007, 05:52

Ok so I made a new grow/flowering box.

and I am gunna veg them for another 2-3 more weeks so they can get kind of big befor I flip em to 12-12.

pix taken around 4-5 hours ago and of some dat R of some droopy leafs. So what might be the problem with that?

so its like now the top leafs R starting to grow to the light.
so is this a good sign of the plant getting back to better health?

I stuck my 2 fingers 2 inches deep in the soil and it felt wet but NOT SOGGY at all.

I guess I'll just have to see what happens.

well anyway how does the new grow box it look?
and also any comments would be nice to here.

and maybe a moderator can move this to the grow log forums.
cuz I wanted to use it as my new grow log.

thanks. HC.

hydrocannabis · #42 (**permalink**) Dec-17-2007, 06:02

ooooo YAH I for got to mention that I can move the bottem part of the box all round.
like I can take it in and out and I can also turn it around.

and I am gunna light proof it when I get it reaty to flower it.
and I can light proof wit it eze.

hydrocannabis · #43 (**permalink**) Dec-17-2007, 23:34

ok so the leafs R still droopy.

so why might this be?
I know it sounds like I am worrying a lot about it. but its just that I spent too much time on them. for them to go down hill now.

miley · #44 (**permalink**) Dec-18-2007, 16:23

What is the temp in your grow box? High temps can cause droopy leaves.

hydrocannabis · #45 (**permalink**) Dec-18-2007, 21:27

not sure on the temps I do have a fan in there. and I wanna wire up and add a few pc fans. cuz I have a good amount of thouse. but I don't know hot to wire em up.
and I don't even know what to wire em up to.

and to day I say that there leafs R looking kind of yellow.
I was told thas its from lack of nitrogen.

now I think I may have given them my flowering ferts by mistake around a week ago.
I do have some alaska fish fert that I could give it or I could flush them with water and epsom salt.

I don't know what to do. I feel kinda lost cuz I havent had this problem in all of my past 15 grow's.

sociobud · #46 (**permalink**) Dec-19-2007, 08:41

That's a neat idea on the grow box. I like the way your creative mind thinks. You do need to light proof it, but I think it has great possibilities! I did notice the boxes are blue on the outside, what color are they on the inside? Can you take a pic of the inside so we can see how that's set up?

Judging by your setup, you're a man of thrifty ways, and I can appreciate that, but you will have to purchase some more equipment. Go buy a pH meter and a thermometer. It shouldn't cost you more then $10, and it will pay for itself in no time. Make sure you buy a pH meter that can test both soil and water. Don't make the mistake I did, dammit.

Where are the leaves curling and yellowing? Near the bottom, top, outer edges...Let me know what you find out because I have the same problem. My very bottom leaves curl and turn yellow. I haven't freaked out yet because it always seems to get better, and my babies are quite happy. I just cut them off, but don't follow my lead because I have no clue either!

Good growings, man!

Rusty Trichome · #47 (**permalink**) Dec-19-2007, 09:38

Looking ok so far.
Any way to get a humidity and a temp reading? How are you venting the heat out of the top of the tub? In a set-up like that I'd be afraid of just pushing the hot air around and around and around, instead of out.
Overheat, overfert and overwater are killers.
Do not let the soil stay 'soggy'. If top couple of inches of soil is DRY, likely, it's time to water. Better a bit dry, than a bit drowned.
Some plants need constant and plentiful water available to the roots. (mangrove...) Some plants need the soil to be dry, or root rot will quickly develop. (cactus...)
Cannabis is somewhat in the middle but leaning more tword the cactus side.

hydrocannabis · #48 (**permalink**) Dec-19-2007, 10:57

where can I buy a pH meter and a thermometer?
loke: HEB or maybe wallmart or wharever.

and should I be useing the fish ferts I have?

and big big thanks fo stopin by canna buddies and for UR opinions.

sociobud · #49 (**permalink**) Dec-19-2007, 11:42

Try any large home improvement store (Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, Tractor Supply), they should still have some. In fact, I say a pH meter at Lowes for $5 last week. I'd either go to Lowes or some local nursery. Some nurseries are still open during the winter. They would have pH meters & thermometers, but they may be more expensive. You could use any thermometer for now. Just something that will read the temp. I think any place will have a thermometer you could use, even if they don't have a pH meter.

You should be able to find a thermometer & pH meter rather easily. If you don't want to go driving everywhere, pick up the phonebook, and start calling. If you want a nice one, I suggest you buy it online. The ones I have seen in stores are very basic. Just make sure it can read water & soil.

How are you going to light proof your cab? Whatever you do, it needs to be easily removed and replaced. That's the bitch, making it mobile. Ignore the 'pics of inside' comment, I see now you have pics of that.

PharmaCan · #50 (**permalink**) Dec-19-2007, 13:44

HC - Those meters at Home dePot, Lowe's, etc. are crap! Hanna meters are crap!!!!

If you can afford US$75 - $100, you can buy a pretty good pH meter. I have a Milwaukee ($80) and it works fine for me. If you can't afford a meter right now, get a liquid test kit for $5-$10. Lowe's does have some pretty cool digital thermometers pretty cheap - look in their garden section.

Good luck!!!
