Re: biggreenbuds first grow !!!

They have small ph test kits for under $15 if you check around. hardware stores may have it as well. Or, take some to the local hydr store and they can test for you. Litmus paper is cheap, but that will only tell acid from alkaline.

Re: biggreenbuds first grow !!!

leaves that have already died will not come back. Give it another day or two, steady on the watering, and let us see some pics.

Re: biggreenbuds first grow !!!

The yellowing should eventually stop but whats already dead won't come back. Lets see the pics.

Re: biggreenbuds first grow !!!

You should start to notice improvements after about 3 or 4 days.

Re: biggreenbuds first grow !!!

thanks guys i was staarting to worry i was gonan lose all my leaves everyday it seems like theres a new set going but say all the leaves did fall off which i doubt will happen would the plant still produce bud ?

Re: biggreenbuds first grow !!!

No, the leaves are the 'factory' to grow, and without them the plant will die.

 

[biggreenbuds4]

Re: biggreenbuds first grow !!!

so the leaves are like the solar panels ? they collect the sun ? very nice

Re: biggreenbuds first grow !!!

heres the updated photos please let me know what you think

Re: biggreenbuds first grow !!!

The images are showing a nute deficiency, and this may be from over-watering. Can you get your lights any closer? I would spray with sea tea, and go to a wet/dry water regimen. Other than that, things are looking good. +16 reps

Re: biggreenbuds first grow !!!

the lights i jsut mesured and they are 2-3 inches away from plants

i agree with the nute deficency the reason being when i first started these they were in little plastic cups filled with good soil and then when i had to transplant them so i only was able to transplant one into good soil the other i moved into soil dug up from my garden well the one plant in good soil was the male but it was very heathy looking and these ones look not at all like the otehr i did feed them once though but i was pretty baked and i messed up the mix and it was a lil strong so i think it stressed them pretty good idk ?

and i watered them saterday night when i transplanted im going to wait till the soil is dry like 2 inches down ? ? ?

do you think i should water with the miracle grow all purpose at 1/2 strenght nxt time i water ?

Re: biggreenbuds first grow !!!

also this has really been on my mind

do they look more sativa dom or indica dom ?

Re: biggreenbuds first grow !!!

They look very like a sativa. Adding the 1/2 strength ferts is a good idea. Also give them a foliar feed as well at the same dilution. Try and let the medium dry out a little deeper than 2". You want to go almost to the point of wilt, but not, if you get my drift. Wet/dry is the way to go. It has something to do with the hydrostatic balance of your medium.
