[C6H6]

bit of history, after my first grow which turned out great i had some clones and my father told me that he wanted to try growing so i gave him a total of 8 clones, 2 were to become mothers, 4 were just there for him to mess around with and 2 were flowering. told him what to do gave him the best advice I could but more importantly I gave him access to a wealth of information, ic mag. Im not exactly sure what he did but when I arrived home from summer school a week ago the plants were in shambles and not healthy looking at all. of the 8 plants i gave him only 2 have survived the ones that are being flowered. after a week i do think they are looking much better then my first arrival home but want others to take a look-see and also how much longer you think these girls have?

looks heat stressed,but at 78,it shouldn't be i don't think

over feed maybe,the mircle grow soil might have had slow release ferts,and then you added more,so,thats a possiblty

so would a flush help?

 

[Dr.Snow]

several things... is there enough airflow? you need that exhaust running as much as possible pulling in fresh c02 air... how much light are you using? if you are watering twice with plain water for every feeding i doubt a flush would help you out... those 1 liter pots are def too small - if you read mandalas faq about satori (i'm growing some also) it states that the plant does best with light nutes and BIG pots to spread out in. it may be too late to make really significant improvements before finishing but next time I would use much larger pots and skip the miracle grow so you can get your nutes dialed in without the extra junk in the soil. good luck !
