Hey, i guess that jam worked....

UPDATE 04/13/2015

CE...shes been topped once, no lst training...

OME..shes been topped twice, im lsting her so i can get better light penetration. Shes looking a little sad; her leaves are a little droopy ....

Yei ..shes been topped twice. I gotta say, im surprised with her cuz i thought she was going to die from me busting her main stem, but she isnt showing any stress.

Nahui....shes been topped once and lst her to grow sideways. I was planning on rapping the two new colas i got from topping her and taining them to grow along the edge of the pot but am finding it hard to tie her down from the edge of my smart pots.

Well guys im happy to report that i finally got the General Hydroponics ph test drops and ph up/down i ordered. Today i checked the ph of the tap water ive been feeding them with and found it to be at about 8.0. Needless to say thats pretty high since i should have between a 6 and 7 ph with the optimal level being 6.5 for soil grows. I went ahead and flushed the plants with some ph'ed water (runoff water ph was about 6.3), and made a final watering with by adding nutrients and then ph'ing water to about 6.5. I cant wait to see how they respond to it. Here are some pics..


Yei.... Her stems been doing well. She hasnt shown any stress over it so i went ahead and tied her down. I only tied her down from her four main shoots. ...

Nahui

CE...

OME.shes been looking all sad and droopy eversince i tied'ed her down like 3 days ago...im hoping that the new ph'ed water i fed her today help her out...

Beautiful

Your doing a good job, just keep an eye on the feeding regimen with the new products. I would not freak out about the droopy one but I would be carefull.

Have you considered adding a couple more bulbs here and there??

.... Do you think i might be feeding them to much or to little?.....

Day 60

well guys its been 60 days since i threw the seeds in dirt..im still holding off on flowering them just yet. I still need to put a door on the little grow room/box i built, so im not ready for the flowering stage right know since your space needs to be completely light proof during lights out. I read somewhere its more critical for the the grow room to be completely light proof during lights out in flowering than it is in the vegg stage. I read that in the vegg you can get away with having some light leakage. Today i tied the girls down some more. I did a little defoliation on nahui and cut one or two leaves off of yei. Nahui was getting to bushy and some of the bigger leaves on top were covering up some of her lower aux shoots (or whatever their called lol), so i just went ahead and clipped some of the leaves for better light penetration.So far, they have responded well to me feeding them with ph'ed water the other day. Ome still looks droopy but shes doing well. I also installed a couple more cfl's in my grow room, so now i have a total of 286 watts worth of cfl's. I threw in a few 2700k cfl's to mix the spectrum up a little ..well here are some pics peeps

Looking really good! Nice job man

UPDATE 04/25/2015


I think ive finally figured out what the problem was wiyh my plants. They've been growing super slow and nahui was almost dead. Her leaves were yellow droopy and drying out....needless to say i was trippin balls. I didnt know what was wrong with them. I kept doing research on it and kinda started figurong it was a nitrogen def. Because my plants were turning yellow from the bottom, up. All the older leaves on my plants were the ones turning yellow firt. I tried givin nahui a dose of super thirve but no change. I was stumped. I kept doing more research and started reading up on other nitrient def. symtoms ajd started noticing other symtoms on her like mag. Def., nitro. Def., iron def. And stuff like thay so i started figuring that i aasnt feeding them enough. Yesterday i mixed up a full dose of nuts with a 1/4 of the recomended dose of cal-mag before ph'ing the water and fed it to all the plants. I thought it would either help them or kill them. Either way i was done bullshittin lol..but hey, the good thing is....that my plants are fucking looking fucking awesome.. nahui is perking up and all of them are growing again ...here are some pics..

Glad to see everything getting back on track good luck with the rest of your journey. im bout put mine into flowering another 2 or 3 days its been like 54 days it's been vegging

UPDATE 04/29/2015

Well guys, all my plants been doing a whole lot better. They weren't growing for a few weeks. I guess i wasnt feeding them enough and i wasnt regulating the ph in my water, so they had a nutrient beficiency. I bought some ph up/down an test drops and started regulating the ph and feeding them a full dose of nutrients. Today i went ahead and did some defoliation on Ome ,bshes the one that was dying on me. She had to many dead and dying leaces so i clipped them. I kniw ive been a little heavy on the defol and plan on not defoliating my plants as much on my next grow, but what can i say, its a learning process peeps...here are some pics...

Ome...im proud of her, she has done a complete 180 and is growing well . All her new leaves are coming out nice and green . I dont see any signs of nutrient def. On her new leaves so im happy..

Nahui...i defoliated her because her her shoots were to close to eachother and were blocking eachothers light. I really have her spread out and low to the top of my pot..

Ce...i havent done to much defoliation on her, just when i initially topped her... i pretty much just topped her once and tued her two main colas down along with her lower auxiliary shoots ...shes looking good.

Yei. Shes tge biggest of them all and is the one that has been doing the best. I topped her twice but due to me busting her stem while tying her down (training her) im not able to train her the way i was planning on. Im not sure how to train her im just trying to keep her four colas as low and as even with the aux. Shoots as i can ..

Pic of all of them

I wanted to add that their stems are looking good too. They are starting to turn green. I never paid attention to the color of the stems. One reason being is that im color blind and the other being that i didnt know they were suppose to be green lol, drrr..lol...i was doing some research and read that it is a sign of phophorus def....also, its been 72 days since i planted the seeds and i kniw they are small for their age...i even feel like scrapping this grow and just starting a new grow with the femmed seeds i bought and the new knowledge ive aquired but i just cant do it. They been holding on after all ive put them trhough and im going to hang in there with them till the end and also, because i want to get a feel of the flowering stage and what i need to do to switch them over and stuff like that ...

[Danishoes21]

Very nice job on the training

Keep up the good work

 

[lovitonce]

Hey guys, im happy to report that today i found some preflowering on Ce and all signs indicate that she really is a "she"..ive been reffering to all of them as females but that was mostly wishfull thinking lol...here are some pics ..

 

[Danishoes21]

Yes sir its a girl!!!

Heres a quick update peeps. Ome has not grown to much in the past few days. Shes not looking as bad as she was but is still looking a little sluggish. Nahui has always done better than ome but out of all my plants nahui and ome are the ones that have gave me the most problems. I feel like all of them have been growing slow and am trying to figure out what it is. From the research ive been doing i suspect that i have a nutrient lockout at the roots. I tested the ph of ome's runoff water after pouring a gallon of 6.4 ph'd tap water in her pot and the runoff came out with a ph level of 8. I went ahead and flushed her out with 6.0 ph'd tap water. I have her in a 5 gallon smart pot and flushed her out with like 8 gallons of water. The last gallon i flushed her out with i added a full dose of nutrients to the water and ph'd it at 6.3. I retested the runoff and it came out at about 6.5. Im really hoping this helps her out. I only flushed ome out today. I, also, tested nahuis runoff ph and it was not as bad as omes. It was like at 7.6. I didnt really flush her out with as much phed water as i did ome. I only ran like 2 gallons of 6.3 phed water and 1 gallon of 6.3 ph'd nutrient m8x (full dose). If everything checks out im going to go ahead and flush all my plants out and give them like a 10 more day of vegg before i switch them over to flowering. I would also like to add that i swapped out some of my 6500k bulbs with 2600k bulbs to mix up the light spectrum and am cutting back on my lights on time. Im going to set the timer to go off an hour early every 2-3 days until i hit the 12/12 lights on/off schedule. Any advice would be appreciated fellas ....

I did the exact same thing set in the time back a hour each day before it was fully om 12/12

 

[lovitonce]

UPDATE 04/10/2015...DAY 84 from seed..

not much to report fellas. Just cutting back in my lights on/off schedule till i hit 12/12. Im at 16 on/7 off.

ce..shes doing good..shes the only one im sure is a female ...

Yei..shes the biggest of them all. She doing well. She showing signs of female oreflowering but still to early to tell

Ome..shes the one that has been giving me the most problems. I flushed her out the other day and ph'd her nutrient mix. Im just waiting to see how she responds. She still hasnt shown any signs of prefliwering

I was trying to upload a pic of nahui but for some reason the pic did not upload.. shes the one on the bottom lefthand side of the pic below. Shes doing ok i guess, shes also showing signs of female orefliwering...

UPDATE 05/16/2015
Damn fells i just noticed ive been putting the wrong date down on my updates, my bad. I usually post these updates after work or inbetween classes, so im usually tired and high or in a hurry and high lol..anyways, im sad to reprot that ome has gotten booted out of the my grow box. She wasnt doing to well and the grow box was getting to crowded. Yesterday i went ahead and transplanted her. Originally i was planning on just shopping her down and checking her roots and stuff, so i can get an idea of what my other plants look with their pannies down. Once i did it and checked their roots it dawn on me that i should just throw her in the dirt outside and let her grow if she can. The good news is that all my other plants look like they are all females..i couldn't be happier. All ive been doing is checking their ph at the root ls every watering and trying to balance it out..other than that ive just been moving lights..here are some pics..

CE..

YEI..she showing signs of female preflowering ..

Nahui...shes looking good. She aalready has female preflower too. I just was to lazy to take the pic

 

[lovitonce]

Damn guys, i went outside to check and see how hard ome was taking being tramsplanted outside. I gotta say i think she looks better than yesterday. She looks like she is loving being outside. I thought for sure she was going to die..here are a coulle of pics
