Pure Power and Pure Gold: First Grow
This is my first indoor grow. I am using fox farms ocean forest mixed with fox farms light warrior. 70%to30% I have two feminised healthy looking plants and i have them under a 150w hps for veg and i am planning on getting a 400w hps for flower. my runoff ph is low and i was looking for tips to raise it.

Well you seem to have a fair balance going at this point ..so if your plants are happy i'd stick with it.

here are my latest pictures. im getting a few rust spots on the pure gold. I fed them last week and these were taken today and i gave them strait water yesterday. The ph runoff is normal, around 6.5, but i was gone for the night and the power went on and off and it turned off my ventilation fan. when i got back the temp. was 85. Any thoughts on if they are nutrient burns or light burns. The plants seem to be doin fine.

Well ..what is the ppm of the water your feeding them? and also ..is it time too transplant into bigger buckets? another thing too think about is flushing the soil.

well i dont have a ppm meter. n e advice on how to measure, i dont have n e experience in ppm shit. Also i have them in 3 gallon buckets, u think that could be it? When i gave them strait h2o the other day the runoff was about 6.5 for both, i only wanted to flush as a last resort. Thanks a bunch dive n e more advice would be wonderful.

OK when in doubt...feed them a lil less...untill you get a meter,run the nute's a lil lighter.
Could definatly be over-feeding them. the 3 gallon buckets should be fine.the PH sounds fine. Dive

Okay. so im pretty damn positive it was nutrient burn now. im using fox farms grow big. It was the first time i gave them any nutes at all but i mixed a big teaspoon in a gallon and i think i should have used about half a teaspoon or less. im in 3 gallon buckets and i water about 3 cups to each plant about every 4 or 5 days. when i fed them i used about 2 1/2 cups each of the mixed gallon and no straight water. if there is anyone out there using grow big that has n e advice, it would be greatly appreciated. I think they are getting better, all the new leaves have better color and i dont think ill feed again for the next few waterings. Anyone looking at my pics, feel free to put in ur 2 cents about how they look to u. Thanks to everyone out there in advance.

That's not really a yes or no question...
how much time you wanna spend and how much height is available in your room are two factor's. A plant 2 feet tall,will generally grow too 3 feet tall within 2 week's of changing schedule.After that the thickness will increase but height will pretty much stay same. Also you may want too consider cutting the top off to encourage the lower branches. You can e-mail me at Divestoned@hotmail.com Maybe we'll talk on the phone so i can explain thing's in better detail. Dive

okay so heres my space situation. my closet is tall up to the ceiling but only 2 feet deep. Im only gonna have the 2 plants under the 400w hps and i was hoping to try and have them done near the end of may or the beginning of june at the latest hopefully. U know, this is my first grow so i am trying to do it the best i can. I dont know much about cutting the top off but it sounds interesting. So with my grow space this size, what do u think? thanks so much dive, u have been a great help.

Shit. I have a serious problem. so i decided to flush them today and i could not get the runoff ph any higher then 5.6. I think im going to add some lime or something. Yo dive, what do u think? I flushed the 3 gallon pots with about six gallons a piece and even on the last gallon the runoff did not change. And the crazy thing is that i was flushing with water that was ph'd at 7.5. I dont know what to do and the growth of the pure gold seems stunted. any advice from anyone out there would be greatly appreciated.

okay so these are post flush so thats why the leaves are a bit droopy. I went to the store and got some powderized garden lime and mixed in a good handfull to each pot. then i flushed with another gallon. the ph of the runoff did not change, in fact it went down a point or two. the pure power looks okay with a little yellow tip from the grow big fert. but the leaf pics are of the pure gold. now the ph is reading at 5.5 5.4. the plants look decent but the numbers are all wrong. HELP!! By the way highlane my seeds were put in the ground on the 8th of feb. so they will be 30 days old on the 9th of this month.

The yellowing an necrosis are from the nute's,we expected too see that come up.
Are you letting the soil dry-out between waterings? very important! When you do water,let's run the ph at 6.8 an ignore the run-off ph for a week.It can take awhile for the plant to show any sign's from changes. So I say we go back to the basic's for a week an see what happens. Figure on around 60 day's for flower,so if you start flower on april 1st,you'll be ready around june 1st. That give's you a few more week's too veg an max out your space. Dive

okay, thanks dive, my ph meter was working great all day and then it started flashing through numbers like crazy, so im givin it time to rest and im gonna ph my water resivoir. the soil is def. drying out between waterings, i only water about once a week maybe every 5 or 6 days. I agree though ill ph the resivoir to 6.8 and well see how it goes from there.

Buy the liquid tester..it's like 4 buck's an gives you the option of double checking.The truth is I was a lil concerned about your meter's accuracy.
