So I have a 2-3 wk clone and gonna grow in soil. light is pioneer VIII fluorescent 432 watt. soil is local hardware scott potting soil. with farm fox grow big nutrient and ph up for balancing the crazy ph. right now is a lil nerve wrecking because of first grow and ph wont stay up (at 2ph before feed of ph up of 6ph and goes to 3), discoloring of leaves(yellow, dark green, and even black tips), and humidity @ 55%. temp is at 71. here are a few pics to help my description!! hope all is well, and i will definately appreciate any advice!!!

Dont Use Tin Foil. Get Mylar from your local indoor grow and hydroponex shop. Foil can cause hotspot and reflect heat and burn and dry plants. Good Luck with your grow man!

so should i take the foil off?

thestandard · Dec 28, 2007

you can use the dull side if u have to, flat white is a good alternative if u cant find mylar. aluminum foil is no good tho

Hick · Dec 28, 2007

Aluminum foil is a poor reflectant.. "flat" white pain is far better, then mylar is better yet.

Your plants look sick. I think you have more issues than just your light.

That ph sounds way off the mark. How are you testing ? Are you sure it's accurate ? Your soil looks very wet. Are you overwatering them? Peace RBH

i pruchased an analog ph/moisture/light tester from a home improvement center. should i get another?

Trainwreck X Romulin!!

Soafter Leaving My Baby Alone For A Week And Just Feeding Them Water With A Very Lil Splash Of Ff Grow Big Its Starting To Look Alil Bit Better.

I Was Totally Reading My Ph Tester Wrong Like A Total Freakin Stoner, So My Ph Has Been Reading From 6.5-almost 8 Where It Is At Now. I Havent Fed In 4 Days To Dry The Soil A Bit(moisture Reading Too Moist). Height On Plant Is About 6-7 Inches, About 6 Inches From Light To Top Of Plant, And My Pot Size I Believe 3 Gallon. Should I Transplant To A Bigger Pot? Ff Grow Big Is 6-4-4
Is That Okay For Where Im At?

Them Stem Seems To Be Maintaining Purple Except At New Grow, Then Turns Purple. I Will Pay Attention To Any Advice That Is Given.

Looks MUCH better! Keep it up :cool2:

could someone tell me why the flowers only have 3 leaves?

akirahz · Jan 18, 2008

if may get more as it gets older, but it seems to me most plants with 3 leafs are indica dominant, i could be wrong though - how old are your plants?

the number of splits on the leaves increases at the branch/plant matures. the longer you veg it for, the more splits will occur on the leaves as the plant matures.

actually, it's not hurting it, and you SHOULDN'T clip it off... when the plant is finished with it, it will die and fall off on it's own.

that's like a doctor cutting your finger off cuz u got a hangnail....

who ever said tin foil burns your plant is retarted. that is just a made up rumor that i thought would be dead by now. just do not put it shiney side up or it will burn your plants keep it dull side facing plant , its 55% reflective which is sum cheap reflective material to me! ive used it with all my plants and have never got this Scary made up tin foil burn =)

Ganja_Greg · Jan 19, 2008

flat white paint is 65% reflective .. tin foil is 55%. 10% is just night and day better! pfft... sumtimes ppl mix up there personal preferences with actual facts.. soo be carful there seems like even mods are doing it.

luke · Jan 19, 2008
