I'd like to get rid of the water meter..it kind of scares me to think my pots are still moist after a week :S But it scares me even more that I could overwater and get root rot.

And can anyone tell me if those are OK size for day 20, or did I stunt the growth somewhere along the way? Thankyou!

BHO, I think your plants are just fine for day 20. Relax... and try to let your instincts and your plants tell you if they need water. :fid:

I've never used a water meter, but if you really want to continue using it, maybe instead of waiting til it's below 1, water them when it's at 2 or thereabouts. :cool:

And for anything else, come to the forums and read, read, read. There is so much great information here. :)

I just don't know... I didn't think I watered her THAT much. Transplanted and watered this girl 4 days ago, she's been drooping like crazy ever since. Maybe I should have put rocks on the bottom for extra drainage? I just don't know..i thought ocean forest was supposed to be airy.

Anyway, here she is again today. You can clearly see the yellowed single blade

Thankyou Rdrose, but I've seen all of this. I have Jorge Cervantes Medical Marijuana Horticulture bible, and Greg Greens grow bible and have memorized each page. I have also read 5 or 6 pages of threads in every grow catagory here on this site, on weedfarmer, and on cannabisculture. Knowledge and reading is no substitute for experience, and reading can only get you so far. That is why I come here and ask for experience. I do appreciate you're trying to help, though :)
 
BTW: Its about time to break open my earth juice grow for her. I'm just waiting for her to dry out some more before watering since I think overwatering would be worse than a couple days without a nitrogen boost. I'll let yas know how it goes :)
 
Wasn't overwatering :s Seems like its a K def. The leaves started burning at the margins and goin dead. There are some orange spots on her near the tip. I'm gonna pay extra special attention to her the next few days until it clears up. For now I ferted with some 2-1-1 and some 0-0-10 at low strength to try and get some nutes in her to see if it clears up. I'm just hoping its not an NA buildup problem instead.
 
Good luck to you, BHO. I am very interested in following your growlog...I think you'll do very well!!

my healthiest lady is looking nice and green, and she's finally starting to develop some branching out at day 23 and I can see small leaves in the nodes. Yesterday her top leaves started looking like claws. The very tip of the leaf is curled down, but there are no spots or discolouration. The new shoots are pale green with dark green edges. I didn't find anything in my book, so I'm hoping its not something to worry about. I'll post some new pics tomorrow. Seeya!
 
I did some reading and I think I may have figured out one of my problems. I have been using tap water mixed with RO water for my plants since the tap is alkaline and the RO is acidic. That might not be a problem, except I'm using organic soil and nutes, and I read the chlorine in tap water kills off the organics in my soil :s. Today I'm going to stock up on some store-bought water and flush the unhealthy one in some new soil since she is looking more K-def and I'm unsure whether its too much NA or too little K. I also read the "claws" mean too much N, but she's not showing any burns. Heres todays pictures.

btw: is 12 PPM high for sodium? Thats what my tap water is..

please delete this thread. I'm a noob and was expecting a little help through my first grow, but as I've received almost none its not worth the time, effort, or risk. thankyou
 
hey bro, don't give up like that, u gotta grow. thats the only way u'll figure it out. i use ocean forest, with straight tap water, but i also keep about 5 5gallon buckets outside collecting rain water. when i feed nutes i use tap water. when i feed straight water i use rain water. don't flush them, unless ur talking with just water. if u leech the salts and nutes from them now. u could cause some unfixable damage. i'd cut back on the watering. and ur ppm i thought had to do with co2 content. not sodium. get ph soil tester. and what kinda light are you using, looks gloomy in those pics. almost looks like ur don't have enough lumens and what kinda box are u in? i notice the bottoms clear plastic, whats the sides? and do those big pots have holes in them at the bottom or not. doesn't look like from the pics. and that is a must.

more specifics less rambles. gotta start eliminating things with cross reference checks. thats the only way u'll figure it out. with those being at only day 23, u gotta alot of time. and go get ur self some FF grow big or some humbolt county purple max. shouldn't need but only a couple of fertz and nutes. and yes if use to much it will lock things out.
