Ok will check the runoff next time. And the temperature is between 22 and 26 celsius. Humidy is around 50%

the reason your plant is yellowing on its lower leaves is your plant is using more nitrogen then you are supplying. If you have not began to already I would start your plant on a 1/4 strength dosage of nutrients and progressively over successive waterings increase the dosage until you are at full strength recommended nutrients.

Watered the plant with Ionic bloom soil at 2.5ml per liter which 1/3 mixture strength and it seems to have perked up. The top site is looking great and the lst is really working at making the plant short and bushy. i have pegged it at two more points which has really opened up some other leafy nodes.

Also germinated an Advanced Afghan kush feminized seed ready to grow from seed 12/12

Also changed the bulbs from 135w 5500k to 150w 5500k which are longer so they produce a better spread of light, kept one 135w bulb for the seedling so both plants have 2 bulbs focus. I have read doc buds 12/12 grow journal which is very exciting/interesting.
started the fridge on 12/12 properly on thursday so should be 8 weeks till harvest, its been 6 weeks 2 days so im guessing my plant had stunted growth. The other box has no real use at the moment so i'm warehousing it.

Cheers

If you are now growing in Coco, you need to talk to Fatty : Coco mania

Thanks bro. I had no idea. Will have to watch that as ive bought nutes for soil. Cant a fford to replace them so ill just keep a low concentration solution.

Got a 4" carbon filter today and hooked it up so there is no smell. The topped node is looking good and has grown, and i think i see female pistols on this 'pre-flower'.

 

[Touchmejesus]

Got a big problem the carbon filter has increased the heat in the fridge to 33 degrees what can i do? if i made the inlet bigger would that help. i assume its because im using a 6 inch fan with a 4inch filter and there is too much air travelling in only a metre of ducting...
here is the setup:

if i had longer ducting would that work?

Hello, the H2O2 will help the soil were the Pyritirens, it is made from crystantimum flowers but is really toxic. Especially bee`s!! I have a buddy who use`s garlic oil and castile soap. The soap he finds in heath food stores( Doctor Bonners Pure Castile Soap ) and the garlic oil you can get in most grocery stores, by the spices and extracts. He mixes a tablespoon of soap with a teaspoon of the oil into 2 cups of distilled water and uses that in a mist bottle. It has never shocked plants but don't go crazy as it will reduce the leaves ability to breath, clog the pores on underside of leaves. This is what I was able to get mine to do. I have lent my camera out and don't have any newer photos. She is Pineapple Chunk and Northern Lights hybrid

Nice looking foliage you have there, good job!

 

[Light Addict]

Looking good!

 

[VictorVonDoom]

very nice

 

[Touchmejesus]

How old is that plant? Why is mine so small?

 

[Touchmejesus]

Light addict, in your first grow your plant is easily twice as big at 3 weeks as mine at 6 weeks

That photo was taken August 7th and she was just at 29 inches tall. She got attacked by grasshoppers and it freaked her out.

This is her in beginning of September after she was raped!! Fuckin bugs!!!!

They piss out some chemicals and where crawling all over her. She is coming around and is starting to put out new growth even at 12/12. She is making buds and two cola`s while re-growing single and clusters with 3`s and 5`s. If I bring her inside I may just put her back at 18/6 and see what see does. I got my camera back today and charging battery and will post back latter. Good luck with your, she looks good. There a "tough" strain and you can get rough with them. I was sure I had lost her. I had moved to new apt. in April so it screwed my schedule up and got late start. Will be getting two more ready for December, with just the CFL`s I ran one 120 watt 6K with two 60 watt 28K bulbs. The less wattage calls for much long time to develop but you see how green and healthy she was. I put her outside for 3 to 5 hours after work so most of her 18 hours on where the CFL`s. Kind of like cooking ribs, "LOW and SLOW" . I love to watch them and enjoy crossing them as much as getting high.

Hey buddy just wanted to ask about the plant on its side? I have never seen this done before so am curious. I take it its an attempt at lst without tying down? Im thinking that if you did this with a moving wheel rest that would slowly rotate the plant you would get wicked side shoot growth! ? Let me know why you did it and what result you noticed. Cheers bud

So, ive still got a bit of a heat problem but now its because i added an extra light for the seedling which is advanced Afghan kush but i also made the intake about twice as big and the temp is slowly coming down. The seedling popped up yesterday and its growing in 12/12 i marked up the nodes to show why i think ill stop topping. Its looking super bushy.
