Another pic update how does she look? Getting pretty bushy down low . Lots of shoots.
Anything anyone else might notice that I don't? Or is it just the yellow leaves.
Gonna keep fan on her all day, and when the soil dries good im going to feed some nitrogen I'm thinking.

 

[Notchrob]

All the new growth looks good.

My tap water is about 7.5ph.I use 3/4teaspoon of vinegar per gallon.im using happy frog soil and general hydroponic grow and bloom.I water mine with 1/4teaspoon per gallon every time I water.my ph is around 5.8-6.0.I bump up the nutes as the plants get bigger.

Nice yea mines the same pH 7.5. Gonna get some vinegar asap. White vinegar?

 

[Jwhat201]

Cut a section from my box, not off just folded down on one side so i can get air circulation with light reflection. And I'll be turning the pot every now and then.

 

[Notchrob]

Yup,white vinegar.pay attention to PH.if I mix my nutes @1teaspoon per gallon I don't need the vinegar.stays around 6-6.5ph.

 

[Notchrob]

I agree with doing a flush.

 

[Jwhat201]

Watered her a while ago with ph'd nitrogen solution and some regular ph'd water, gave her a good one, hoping this and everything else I did today fixes her up. Update in the morning!

Day 23 update after good feed for her last night. Please post your thoughts. Upper droop serious?
Turned off the fan thinking that was it.

Hey everyone sorry for the big stretch without an update. Honestly forgot about this journal until I read through my old emails haha. Good shit around lately lol.
Thanks again for all the tips and info everyone.

Some pics early day 30, please post your thoughts . Been doing some research and I've started tucking any fan leaves that are covering shoots underneath the shoots. Any that can be tucked under easily anyway. Been doing this for a day or two and check out the results .

Really helped her lower shoots, and will do it with the other shoots when I can .

Thanks for any help or anything! Thinking about switching my girl to flower at the end of week 5. Thoughts?

 

[Jwhat201]

Just fed my girl some ph'd calimagic at quarter strength. PH 6.3-4

 

[Jwhat201]

Made my box taller please post your thoughts.

My baby today

What's this nastiness in my water? No nutes in this water only added vinegar to adjust pH. Watering time soon appreciate the help! Should I clean the container and pH some new water? Or...

 

[Notchrob]

Dump it and wash the bucket.start over.my tap water is 7.5ph and I use 3/4 teaspoon of white vinegar gets me to 6-6.5ph. You're results may differ.

 

[Jwhat201]

Thanks man^

Update day 33 after a little prune. Looks healthy and shoots seem to doing good . Attaching some pics please post your thoughts.

Gonna get some vinegar in next couple days before the soil dries and do that up,

start over.

Hey guys I'm thinking about putting her into flower in the next few days. Can I use the 6500k for flower until I get my 2700k bulbs? Also would Walmart be a good spot? Checked all the hardware stores last time I went out and there was not one 2700k lol...

My box is just over twice the height of my plant, so wanna switch her soon if she's gonna be stretching.

Anyone else grow black indica and have any pre flower tips? Or anyone at all have any pre flower tips?

Thanks in advance! I'll be using liquid koolbloom for my budding, so if you know anything about that it'd be greatly appreciated too.

 

[Jwhat201]

Update day 34 got my 4 gallon bucket of water ph'd at 6.4-5. Still pruning what seems fit and seems like its helping . Not much though taking my time. Gonna start on liquid koolbloom soon at quarter of the recommended strength. Next couple waterings will be regular water, good nute feed not long ago.

Your thoughts on the nutes? And should I just make the switch right away? Or hour at a time making it 6 days I read that's good.

With the nutes it says start at the transition period, so should I start a few days before I switch, or while reducing the light time?

Hope it all made sense I'm high af atm haha.

If you're going to spend the time and the "risk" you may as well do it right. If you have room and ventilation for a real light, this is your time to jump. Being strapped to a closet is hard. CFLs will work and you are doing a great job with what you have.

Keep up the good work!

Look at the small tents and lights. They come pretty much plug-n-play now.
