[bundt]

the ph is one thing i know i should keep track of and adjust often but havent been....

the water i use is city water thats been sitting in gallon jugs with the top open. ive been meaning to get a better ph testing tool but havent yet... i guess i too thought that my waters ph wouldnt make a big difference.

your new leaf growth looks blue, if its getting blueish, even just "maybe" you are having some P issues. I'm not sure about fox farm's soil but i'm going to guess its a peat mix, and you could be having some PH issues depending on what your nutes do to your water, (if they are dropping the PH to 4, then you will run into problems with peat)

Also, the mature leaves are the only one going neurotic on you? please send us some more full plant pictures detailing the issue in the picture titled "yellow leaf" I'm going to say I think that is a K issue because of the marginal chlorosis.

Is Tiger Bloom the only food that they are currently getting? Even if you run the entire fox line, I think you will still run into a K problem. I've eventually just purchased a K specific nute.

Also, If you have managed to treat the problem, the damaged growth will stay damaged.

Do you think your plants leaves have a metallic sheen to them by the way?

also about your ph, your plants wont die during a no ph grow, so don't worry about it. i know you said you let your water sit out, is there any way you could hit up family(/space/)dollar for one of those 5 dollar 10 gallon trash cans and then wally world for a fish tank bubbler? i'll keep your nutes mixed for your, and i just personally think the plants like it, just a suggestion

meh..

meh..

first... im high, bear with...

Ok, I think what it was is that the yellowing got a little worse and i worried and just wanted to make sure i knew why it happend...but then it didnt continue to get worse so its ok for now.

skrappie, yes tiger bloom is the only nutes ive been given them recently. and no the plants do not look blueish.


i took a couple pics so here we go



my favorite of the girls expecting good things

they seem to be doin alright. i watered them again today with 1/2 tbsp nutes. the yellowing on the bottom fan leaves seems to be getting a little worse, but i guess i wont worry too much unless it starts to climb more.

Do you know the ph of the water going in and the ph of the run off? I had similar problems with my leaves and after a bit I realized it was because I would let my ph flucuate too much without thinking it was cause problems. Always keep it at 5.8, I had one plant straight up die on me cuz I let the ph go down to 5.2 while all the other plants in the same tray didn't show signs of deficiency. I'm no expert but hope that helps.

if your in soil as you said' you want the ph at 6.5 not 5.8.

have a look at the chart - then maybe check ebay for a digital PH pen.
an essential tool for happy healthy plants.

your babies are looking good

so the yellowing really isnt that big of a deal then?

the AI and bubblelicious are currently in pong cups and will be transplanted into biger pots tomorrow (same size as the other ones [all i have at the moment]), i dont have time tonight to transplant.

they have been getting 100w CFL light 24 hours aday but after transplanting them tomorrow im planning on putting them with my other plants that are flowering which is under the 400w hps.

is switching them from 24/0 to 12/12 right when i transplant a bad idea? should i wait a week so they can settle in their new pots?

heres a pic of the babies takin a few min ago. AI on the right bubblelicious on the left

those look real nice bundt...
Ive done it both ways - didnt seem to matter other then they will be taller/bigger when you flip-m, dont forget they'll strech too.

transplanted today

transplanted today

i transplanted the AI and bubble today. again i know the pots are too big for them at the moment but its all i have. the DSD didnt give me much of a problem with that size pots. I also am starting the 4 babies on 12/12 with the 3 females that are flowering right now. gonna wait about 2 weeks before i give em any nutes.

(AI are the 2 on the bottom and the bubblelicious are the 2 on the top)



the yellowing is continuing and seems to be getting higher up more. gonna look into it a bit more and see what deficiency it is and what i need to counter it.




and here are some pics of the beauties - theres already some red hairs!! cant wait for the buds and the stank!!! i really like how the leaves look on the DSD, the edges of the leaves point upwards making them look sharp
