[smokineeyore]

well here they are the two individual pics are not great but the one of both is pretty good. Both are looking good so far. I did the rolly pinch supercrop thing thats why the tops are bent. they will get their first dose of bloom nutes in about a week thanks for all the support as this will be my first "real" attempt at growing some good buds

***bump***

 

[Mrpiston38]

wow those plants are a little bit small to be budding htem this early.. I would if I wer you i would let them veg for a couple a weeks just to bushie up some more. if you try and get them bushie while flowering it will take away from the flowers and put more energy into bushing out. hope thats makes since... anywho ill be watching and gl
Mr.p

way too small to flower i would wait till they r atleast 15-20 inches

 

[smokineeyore]

thanks for the advice i was thinking the same and i have adjusted my timers to veg them a while longer i am shooting for about 30 inches tall when finished so i will let them veg till about 15" tall question for the pros: whats the shortest "day" cycle i can use to still veg as i am trying to keep electric costs down is 16on 8 off sufficient?

 

[Mrpiston38]

just as long as there is more day light then night you could maybe get away with 15/9 but they would grow really slowly. 18/6 is best gl

 

[smokineeyore]

thanks Mr. P. I will adjust the timer to that i suppose the 2 hour increase from 16 to 18 wont do much in way of used power. Are there any thoughts or ideas about cheap cooling im still runnin hot about 90 and yesterday with the damn fires it spiked to 102!! buget is way tite so any cost efetive way to drop the temps would be great (think i gotta brake down and get an intake fan and forgo the passive one)

Well its been 6 days and not much in the way of growth. I will be getting one of those in line booster fans tomorrow cuz the temps are stiil at 90 or higher




temps are here or higher humidity stays constant bowl of water in there to help

Kinda sad huh?

 

[Mrpiston38]

yea you really need to get some cooling in there pronto.... do you have a thrift store in your town? if so go there and look for old fans the osolate they can be really cheap. also walmart wallgreens ect will have cheap fan you can use to thro in there. another way to help the plant is get chilled water and give them a sprits here and there when the temps get high. folor watering helps leaves retain water and will help stress. gl

Mr.p
ps here are a couple of pics to show how helpful folor watering can be
first is my plants at a month

and here they are yesterday

hey smokin: it looks like ur over watering too. cannabis likes a "wet dry" cycle.after u water them u dont want to give them anymore until it (by weight) feels light. pick up the container and if it feels heavy dont water it until it feels almost completly dry. you want to wait to water until the leaves almost droop. u dont want to let them droop but almost.. again wet-dry cycle... and what are you using for fertilizer? and how often.. i like to water with the nutez, then at least 1 plain watering inbetween the next nute dose. i like to use this - fertz-water-water-fertz... good luck keep us posted

 

[smokineeyore]

hey cheebman i am using the metanaturals 3-3-3 right now and i feed them every other watering.... Could i be wrong on my diagnosis of over feeding? a buddy of mine told me that i could just have a nitrogen deff. any pros out there please help as i would like to try to save these plants

 

[smokineeyore]

I have had to abandon the effort just couldnt get the enviroment right partly my fault but i will get it together and i will be posting again when i get some more "material" thank you all for your help and wish me luck for the next time
