Growing for the first time!

[4u2sm0ke]

They are looking great Rigby...Are you useing the moister reader?..and are you letting them dry out completely? it looks a litttle water logged 2me..and its normal to start have lower leafs start to yellow..that meens the plant has used all the energy it can from that leaf, just let it fall off by itself..and watch that the new ones dont start to yellow on you...also my friend when you think there is a potential danger in the looks of your plants..dont wait to ask 4 help..it may be to late..better to get ahead of a problem then try to catch up on it..make sence?..another thing it could be a lock out and may need to flush container...pour 3 times the size of growing container of PH water and then let it dry completely...but lets see in the next 2 days how they do..Keep us posted..and KEEP M GREEN

IMO you may have a nitrogen deficiancy...new growth will rob bottom leaves for nitrogen if there is a shortage.

Pulls up a chair... How did I miss this thread? I know lay off the bong!!!
Everything looks like its coming around. Good Luck!

 

[Rigby]

By that do you mean to flush water through it? As in take the amount of water that my containers can hold and flush it through three times? Also, I thought that those containers would be big enough to last its life. But on the other hand, the containers are not filled to the brim.

what I meen is if you have a 1 gallon container ...then you will need to run 3 gallons of PH water..( I use Disstilled )..But lyfr made a good point may need to up the "N" on the next feed..but I would wait a day or two and then post some more pics close ups if possable..Looking good

 

[Rigby]

I will post some pics either tonight or tomorrow, and just by lookin at them, they are lookin a little better. Also, I always use distilled water to feed. Should I use something else? When should I start giving em some nutes? And I was curious as to when I will be able to start flowering because I have been thinkin about it a lot, and I want to grow some real green from top quality seeds rather than these bunk seeds, so if I can I will just flower ASAP and get the hang of it all, and order some quality chron.

 

[4u2sm0ke]

you can flower anytime my friend..I like to veg 6 weeks then into flower..start giving nutes at about 4 weeks and start lite..1/4 strength and work up..and I only use Disttiled water feeding and watering..and dont go calling those seeds bunk man..you will hurt their feelings and they may turn Male...or worst..HERMIE last 2 weeks flower..lol..talk possative about your FEMALE beauties, that are the greatest buds on this site..okay..you are doing great...do you have two rooms? and was thinking about your plants and am suprized you have not giving any nutrients yet? what Type are you going with? Thanks Ill check back later..take care and be safe

 

[4u2sm0ke]

hey Rigby..if you have not given any nutes thats why they are useing its resources and leafs are dieing at the bottom..and after going back and looking your plants are ready for flower if you want..just flip the switch and get some good flowering nutes..and KEEP M GREEN

 

[Rigby]

Thank you so much! I honestly haven't given any nutes yet . I wasn't sure when. When I water next I will start to give them nutes and i will start low. I will get some pics up tonight.

 

[4u2sm0ke]

in the future start giving lite nutes when the colydolons die and fall off..useally aroud 3-4 week from sprout..I would also run a few cycles of the veg nutes before introduce them into flower...just my thaughts looking forward to the pics...KEEP M GREEN my friend

 

[Rigby]

well, my nutes are just like 20-20-20 or something like that. I really don't have vegging nutes. Those are higher in N-P right?

 

[4u2sm0ke]

yes thats a good flower nute..need something more in the "N" for veg..can you get to a hydro store?

 

[Rigby]

Hey, here are some updated pics. Lemme know if you think they are good to go or if i should give some veg nutes; and no I can't get to a hydro store but I can go to a greenhouse that may have some nutes high in Nitrogen. If so, should I water once or twice then flower?

 

[Melissa]

hey rigby ,,,sorry its been a while since i dropped in ,,,,but i must say they are looking fantastic ,,,
if you cannot get to hydro i used mg miracle grow throught my first grow and
it was fine ,,,and i would just water once a day :48:

 

[4u2sm0ke]

sorry melissa...Rigby use that moister reader and water when dry not everyday..IMO...and I would give atleast 2 veg feeds to get them a kick start heading into flower

Have we detirmend the sex yet my friend?..I was looking but cant see well, we need some close ups at the node intersections...looking for preflowers..not balls..lol..they are looking great Rigby keep it up..I also was wondering about your soil..I go back and look..but if not there what kind are you useing?..I would think that it has time release nutes in it for them to be looking as good as they do with out nutes..thanks again for shareing




edit: I see your useing Miracle grow with moister control..wow my friend you are doing an awesome job..with that soil you wount need to feed for a long time..just use the 20-20-20 Shiltz nutes and go ahead and start flower if you want..just watch them they will tell you when they need feed..

 

[Rigby]

I am using an organic soil, however there might still have been MG soil on the roots or something from when I transplanted.

 

[Rigby]

Hey everyone! sorry it took so long for me to post any updates. I have been really busy lately. So I am now in flowering and it has been almost 2 weeks now and three out of the four plants are female! I took the male out. They were a bit neglected for a week, because of **** goin on my house all week. I couldn't get them out to water. They started to look pretty bad, so when I was able to, I gave them tons of water. I flushed it out, then rewatered with nutes, and they seem to be doin ok. Here are a few pics, they aren't to good but I will try to get some more up tonight. I was wondering if I am supposed to water with nutes everytime or just once every other feeding??
