1month into growing

[gangotri]

its cool vertical is fine with me , i think at the time it was a bad idea but looking at it now , when i go into flowering there should be loads of places LOOK!

Yes, it seems your stem is getting stronger, if it continues like that may be a great plant.

keep posting the pictures.

will do in a week or so

how big are the ladies UK1?:bump:

 

[Uk1]

Have problems with a baby & the main 1 growing

the baby one iguess isnt getting alot of light or something because its completly dropped over , the leaves are fallen too

The main 1 is drooping still & i cut some leafs that were burnt off otherwise it looks nasty , uhh and well all in all dont look like its growing anymore

 

[Mitch]

that sucks uk..
think theres any chance or turning them around or are you going to be starting over?

 

[shuggy4105]

you should "never" cut anything off your plants,think of them in their natural habitat...no one with scissors there. But that`s not your problem anyway, but for future grows - keep that in mind.
Hey UK1, we all make mistakes at some point in growing,you`ve just made one of yours. stand up,shake yourself off and begin again.
Have you checked for little critters with a magnifying glass?Just a thought.

ive taken some more pics , i dont see any change but im stairing at it all the time so compare with recent pics if you can plz , im gonna keep them growing but i wanna take clones , need to know where to cut though so maybe in these pics someone could point it out for me ? lolz

& i dont think i have bugs in there can't see how they would get into a indoor plant anyway?

[shuggy4105]

UK1, there is a whole section on how to, and where from, you can take clones. really good read infact,tell you all you need to know.
It`s on one of the "sticky`s m8. :guitar:

 

[Uk1]

ok thx m8

What i want to know now is if i should chuck it into flowering , kinda sick of this veg stage but thing is would it work or not , also ive turned my fan off because im pretty sure it was just cool in the grow room & there was no humidity & with it off its got hot quickly , hot in my case is humidity btw

those pics i put up if you clickity click em it will show the stem more just wondering if it looks thick enough like my brain heh

 

[Uk1]

ohhh and there's no sign of insects , dont have a temp so cant test that or a ph tester

water = once a day

nutes = once every 2weeks

and abit of daylight on them till it starts to get dark then back in growroom for bulb lighting

btw this is all i do basicaly

 

[shuggy4105]

buy a thermometer, couple of quid tops.
what nutes you using? at their age they should be getting nutes every second watering/3 days.
since you don`t have a ph meter,buy bottled water as this will tell you the ph on the label. Your growing in soil right? so you want to buy some water with a ph value of 6.3-6.9, so get water that`s around 6.4/5.
they deffinately need more nutes. what lighting are you using?
If you go into any shops that deal in aquarium stuff,i.e fish,tanks and aquarium lights etc, just ask for a "ph tester kit" they all stock them.
all it contains is a colour chart, ph testing fluid and a vile to which you fill to the 5ml marker with your drainage water.( after watering, some comes out the bottom, that`s how you can ensure that the whole root system gets a drink. that`s the drainage water.)then add seven drops of the fluid to the 5ml water in the vile.you then compare the test vile colour to the chart, which goes from 1-14, with 7 being neutral. MJ likes a ph slightly on the acidic side, as i said 6.3-6.9 is what you shoot for.
you can pick these tester kits for about £3-4, lots cheaper than a ph tester pen without a doubt. The guy in the aquarium shop or maybe even a standard pet store will just think it`s for your fish tank, as all aquariums need to be tested as some fish need to be kept in water, within a certain ph range.
good luck man,and i hope this has helped you out.
keep me informed on your progress dude, anything else you need to know just ask.

[Uk1]

i have that kind of tester but its actually for the fishtank lol so im not sure if it can be used more than once can it?

alot of info there lol shiiii i'll read it when i have the stuff i need but the nutes i got which i think is nutes lol is that pour & feed miracle gro stuff (liquid) says to do it every 2weeks on the bottle

 

[shuggy4105]

what`s the NPK on the MG feed?
yeah you can use the test kit more than once, you use it until you run out of the testing fluid in the small bottle.maybe we`re talking about different testers? by "vile" i mean the clear plastic rectangular tube, that you put the water in up to the 5ml mark, it`s only around 3 inches long, and has a lid that fits into it after you`ve added your drainage water and the tester fluid.The fluid bottle is only about an inch in size, but you only add seven drops each test. but it should last for a good 15 tests for sure. is it the strips of paper you have that you dip in the water? never used that.
but, ph is extremely important. if it`s not kept between 6.3-6.9 you may be locking out ferts or trace elements, this is called "lock-out" and it`s a major problem.
there`s 4 basic things you "need", good quality soil,with perlite mix, good lighting,fans for ventilation, and most important is ph balanced water.
obviously seed! but this is on the presumption that your ready to grow, your beans have arrived in the post.......the next thing you need to do is the four basics listed above. you won`t need to add nutes for 3-4 weeks after they break the soil surface, so we can get into that later.
get the 4 basics and your well on course for growing some dank blow! :fly: :bong: :fly:

 

[Uk1]

im upto 3000lumen umm its that strip kind that goes in the water but there's a bottle too , as for the fan i turned it off over night & the bottom of the plant has spread out alot so not to sure a fan is too good for now since ive left it on for about a week & there was no change , i'll look in a minute for that ph tester

NPK = no idea what it stands for ......

 

[Uk1]

just a couple of my baby pics (lol)

and the main plant after taking a clone / same pic twice but funny colour

 

[Uk1]

oooooh i never saw the drainage part i just used the water from the tap since its what i use anyway lol i was wondering how to do that a more direct way , so guess i have to flush it to get it to drain right?

 

[shuggy4105]

NPK= "N" nitrogen, "P" phosphorus, "K" potassium.
these are the 3 main additives which MJ needs to grow.however there are also 7 more trace elements, which need to be aquired before you can grow a good crop. some nutes have all these incorporated into one fert and makes things alot easier.
when it comes to water you "must" have a ph between 6.3-6.9, or else some of these essential nutrients can be "locked out".
hope this helps ya UK1.
:tokie: :smoke1:

 

[Uk1]

ohhh well in that case i have no clue i looked on the bottle & it dont say any of that stuff so who knows ....

ive still got to test the ph properly but i'll have to wait till 2moro , my friend should be sorting out this light but he's taking his time (grrrowls) lol

thx 4 the info shuggy

 

[Uk1]

took some more pics of babies , left them in the window cause it was nice out today

:bugger:

ohh before i forget , there's a pic that shows the curling of the top leaves & also a burnt pic .... Just wondering if anyone knows how to fix this
