I agree, they do look great...what nutrients are you using, if any?

Plant 1

Plant 2 - Camera shows it as being more yellow than it is, but still a bit too yellow. Any ideas, they are all being treated exactly the same. have had 1/2 strength nutes biogrow 8-2-6

Plant 3

Plant 4 - think this is a male, is a lot taller and straglier than the rest. but we shall see once i flower some clones.

Plant 5

soil definately has no ferts in it, thanks for the help with the rest

That could have been the last plant you watered, and the nutes were stronger at the bottom of the bowl. Could be.

It's not bad though, get some ph neutral water and foliar spray top and bottom of the leaves for starters. Do not over water, but give her some next watering, then let the pot dry a bit and I would flush. Don't wanna give her a flood, and nute burn at the same time though

 

[punkhazard]

looking good i'm excited about this one. although i think the yellowing may be some nute burn. take it easy on them for now. +rep for luck

 

[Mattman1211]

Oh dear

I left the plants well alone for a good few days and let the soil dry out. Plants were still getting a bit yellow and looking rather sad (drooping) so have now put them in to fresh soil to if they perk up a bit. Hopefully this will be enough for them to recover but I am not very hopeful.

Pics will follow after a couple of days recovery (too embaressed to post how they look just now)

 

[Mattman1211]

half strength 8-2-6 bio-grow on the 09/11/07 then every fourth day once dried out enough.

I think you got your dates all messed up. You mean 11/9/07? The month goes first in that format. Check out the dates on your first few pics.

Em........no not messed up just different to the US. Not all countries go by the US format.

Here Day/Month/year of which all my dates are written.

My apologies for my ignorance. You learn something new everyday!

no need to apologise, i agree with learning something new everyday - most seems to come from these forums

 

[Boss]

So you repotted instead of flushing huh. How were the roots? My bottom fans look like yours, kinda curling from the outer edge to the center vein. I thought my PH was low. HMM.
Keep up and let us know

I am by far no expert, but your plants look like they could use more N. The yellowing would be because of lack of N. I think if the plants leaves arent yellow at the tips, you need to feed more. Yellow tips means "Hey, slow down a bit", if u know what I mean.

 

[Mattman1211]

Yay - Think I saved em

Bravo! Healthy lookin' plants there!

 

[Mattman1211]

Thanks for your support guys. i couldn't do it without the help I get from this forum.

Now that the plants have settled into their new pots and the growth is healthy again I have tied them down so I can train their growth and I want the lights to be able to penetrate as low as possible right through the grow. Pics are pending.
