How often are you watering? i was watering everyday (mistake i think)
Type and strength of ferts used?none yet its whatever came in the soil
but i have a bag that i bought at lowes its called Lilly Miller Ultragreen Color Blooms 15-30-15 and was planning to use that when flowering.

I have a feeling that the current flourecent im using isnt enough for my seedlings. they show signs of yellowish spots and the tips would bend up. not sure why this is happening. i might of watered them to much in the begining. they are starting to look a little better now since i water them less.

i planted 9 the first night and 3 more the second night. on the 6th night 6 of them just werent doing any progress they were very very slow growth. so i only have 6 left, the better looking ones and yet only 3 of these actually look beautiful and have a fairly fast growth. the other 3 are doing ok but just not as good. ok pictures time.

Day3:

Day4nly 6 actually developed

Day6:

Day8: Looking OK?

Day11: i raised the lamp for some stupid reason and they became sad

Day12 lowered the lamp back down to like 2 inches and they look better today than the last couple days.

Yep, keep that light 3-4 inches away. They are stretching for more light. Everything else looks good. Water only when to top layer of soil drys. Also put a small fan blowing on them lightly to help make the stem stronger.

Day 14:

they are looking so nice :]
the 3 in the back are alot older looking than the ones in the front. i think its time to repot them to the 3 gallon containers. the only downside to that is that i dont have a metal halide yet i only have my 430 watt son agro. its supposed to have some blue hue but is it enough? i need some help before i repot and screw this up!

Day14.1 ( the 3 bigger ones)

 

[metalhearts]

Heres a new picture of my current set up. still working on it.

 

[metalhearts]

Quick update. 4 were kept in 3 gallons. 2 were discaded :[ they didnt seem like they were gonna grow anymore in the small pots they were in and i dont have enough room for 6 of the 3 gallon so yeah. a sativa looking one bit the dust now im left only with the best looking ones out of the batch.

Day 17:
#1

#2

#9

#7

both #1 and #2 are good looking but a little pale not dark green like the other 2
but the other 2 look like they are struggling their growth is slower and the look dry ish? ive been misting them and i watered them 2 days ago im gonna water tonight again.but they have been like that since before i move them to the new big pot.

 

[metalhearts]

Keep it growin' metalhearts! Seems the new growth looks healthy. 50% male/female is the norm, they say. Keep marching forward with your grow and your journal.

Not lookin too bad considering.....also did you get rid of the mites ?

 

[metalhearts]

Not lookin too bad considering.....also did you get rid of the mites ?

yeah i got rid of the mites when i got rid of the soil with them. MG organic mix that is.

 

[metalhearts]

my dense plant has a problem. i thought i had fixed it but i guess not. the leaves bottom leaves are turning yellow with brown dry spots. shes in a slow release fert soil (MG potting mix). Does it look like nute burn? because i did give her a bit of nutes...

this one is my less dense one and alot better looking lol.

Sorry for the huge pics

WEEK 2 FLOWERING

alright time for an uptade.

the plant that had the problem with the leaves yellowing and then drying up ... is still happening. the leaves end up looking like fall leaves from the trees kinda. i dont know what kind of deficiency its having.

my other one looks beautiful.

there are some more pictures in my gallery thing.

 

[metalhearts]

heres an update after i think 3 weeks? sorry. i dont think anyone cares anyways haha.
they are 5.5 weeks flowering, so im thinking 3-4 more weeks?
heres a picture of taller plant and very sativa looking. some of the hairs are starting to turn orange.

heres my shorter one. this one has more orange hairs than the other one.

sorry for the crappy quality i promise to take good picture before i harvest in about 3 weeks,

7 Weeks Flowering

ugh so close from chopping im already drooling. here are pics. someone atleast say something lol. i really need help deciding when to chop. this is my first time growing and im so excited lol.

heres my Sativa.

and heres my hybrid im thinking.

im going to post the last set of pics before i chop some time soon.

i also have 2 Christal from nirvana seed bank. at 1 month vegging they are beautiful. alot prettier than these when they were their age. and i have 2 indica bag seeds from higher mids quality stuff i picked up, at 2 weeks flowering. if anyone wants to see them let me know if i should make a separate journal

downward droop typically indicates overwatering. I'm a hydro guy, so can't say for sure but thats my guess.

 

[sleeze406]

once like 80% of your hairs turn orange its usually good to harvest but the best way is to look at your trycromes with a magnifying glass once half are milky colord and half clear its a good time to harvest you dont want too many turning a gold color once it dose that there over matured
