Re: FirstGrowGod Planted Indoor 5/4/11

I agree with pilot talk on the cal/mag def with the spots had the same issue before on my last grow. They would just show up at random and would start from the bottom then work its ways up. I started feeding my plants with molasses water every other feeding and that seemed to take care of it during this grow.

Hope this helps

Do you mix your own molasses water? Or can you buy it somewhere?

yep I mix my own, now I've noticed after you mix it only keep it around for a day or two. The PH tends to drop real low after a couple days for some reason. So everything I make up I try to use either that day or the next.

Now how much to use I've read anywhere between 1-3 tbsp per gallon. Personally I use only 5ml or 1 tsp, only cause after I add to my water it drops my PH in between 6.6 - 6.8 so I don't need any PH up or down

Aha well that actually might be an issue for me then since the FF solubles or the flowering ferts tend to drop my ph..at least thats what i think does it.
Do you by chance know a simple ph up that could maybe be found around the house/ organic?

Plants are looking real healthy bro. I use molasses too, and its beneficial for the micro-organisms in your soil and also good for your plant in general. It swells your buds up in flowering as well. If you decide to use some make sure its unsulphured molasses.

I know the FF Tiger Bloom will drop the ph in water, I believe it says it right on the bottle. So I'm sure a few of there solubles will too. I just use the basic aquarium ph up/down since I have fish tank. I've never had a single problem using it with plants one bit. A small bottle goes a long way if only mixing up a gallon of water at a time

Interesting, your saying the ones found at an aquarium store are safe? or seemingly safe? Have you found organic ones
I do actually always work in gallon or half gallon mixes when making up their food.

Re: FirstGrowGod Planted Indoor 5/4/11

For organic only thing I can find online is dolomite lime which you should be able to find at local garden/h depot or hydro shop. I've read where people have used baking soda but have had horrible results. Something about it blocking the nutrient intake of the plants and killing them off.

I've done several grows using the ph up/down for aquariums without noticing any major issues.

Hope this helps!

I use baking soda to bring up my pH and citric acid to lower it and i havent had any nutrient locking at all. If any yellowing happens its because i dont have enough nutes in the mix LOL.

We are products of our environment so all kinds of things could work for different people id guess
I need to put up pics and im going to actually go take some right now because im loving seeing the budsights completely distinguished.

Also I'd like to send out more Thanks to all that have been helping/supporting/commenting in regards to my grow, much appreciation towards you all. And of course to the lovely makers/admins/supporters of this site

Day 22 of Flowering
Ive been keeping her in the same spot its been getting too difficult to rotate her everyday with my space limitations. So if you'd like to match up the stalk pics to see the growth itll be easier....cus ill be doing that =D

Re: FirstGrowGod Planted Indoor 5/4/11

She looks very pretty and healthy. May i suggest defoliating her a little bit so that air circulation and light penetration increases.

Day 29 of Flowering

Gave her a little bit of a hair cut today and last night. She could probably use some more but im going to let her be. I found thrips on some leaves today which i immediately removed, seems like they are mostly all gone.
Other than that just chugging along here, alot of complications with space for all my vegging plants, so got to get back to working on that.
