Looks like a nice spot to chill Boo, glad you had a safe, albeit COLD, trip

Rooster, definitely start with most nutes at about half the recommended dosage.
It's kind of like the back of shampoo bottles where it says "wash, rinse, repeat"

They want to sell more shampoo, and the nute companies want to sell more nutes.

You'll find most plants are beyond happy with much less.

peace - ogh

i thought it was because mj plants dont need nearly as much nutes as most fruits and veggies? im sure they all also test the products on legal plants. i bet if their were any nutes for mj only, doses would be more accurate.

i bet you glad the sleepover is done ogh. i'd be paranoid they would go "exploring"

you gotta keep this in mind...marijuana is a weed...weeds have very little needs to flourish...it's only as of the last 10 years that designer label shit hs floeded the market...they all bring good things and ideas to the table but keep it simple folks...I grow forests and use the same 3 part mix I began with when I started...sure, I tweak and adjust according to what the plants tell me but undercare is far better tha overcare...don't be a yenta...a jewish grandmother...let the girls tell you what they want...it's up to you, the grower to interpret their signals...

Yes I. Indeed. I had quite the opposite problem....starting with Lucas, I was giving the gals like "half formula" for veg....and they were dying like hotcakes.
I thought it was burning....but after some research...I found that most plants will be deficient if under nuted with Lucas.....so I sloooowly increased feeding....at about 3 day increments.
Every morning I would check to see if they responded. The morning they started coming back it was like night and day. I increased feeding a couple more increments...and voillla.
Lush green growth and nice white roots.
And thus the term "dialing in your grow."

You guys are the Best For Sure, If this sounds ok let me No.

I feed every other day as the plants use up the Nutes and Water around this Time, So I am going to Skip the Nutes this Feeding And Just Use 5.8 Water, Or should I just leave out any thing that has N in it and just use Canna Boost[ 0-0.1-0.1 ] and Black Magic[0-21-20] that is for Budding Or just skip a Nute feeding every other time and use just Water.

Boo the 2 Clones that were Yellow, I put Ebsom Salt on them as you sayed to and They are doing Just Fine, And I cut the Nutes down on them Too. There is so much to learn about growing this Weed and I am trying a little to hard I Think and Giving them to much love like you have sayed before. So I think I will go down and Kick the Bitches Around A Little Just To Show Them Who's The Boss

And the 10 Medijuana Seeds I planted are Just 5 that poped up and Are 3' High and Looking Good Too. So i will veg them for 6 weeks then Bud them for 8 Weeks And Hope They Turn Out Like The Pix Well I am hoping so any way, I think I am the only one growing this Strain around here but If any one else has done Medijuana Strain Before let me no how you did with them. 25% THC

OGH Glad you made it through the Week End with The Slumber Party

Tropical, right on. i want to get a vaporizer so i can quit smoking but im to impatient with edibles and ive always ended up smoking a few bowls before the edibles kicked in.

what kind of vaporizer do you use?

I use a Volcano. I also have an iolite for when I need something portable that doesn't need electricity. I hardly ever use it, I only bought it because the switch on my Volcano broke, so I used it temporarily as my primary vape.

2 new pets for my room

2 new pets for my room

my cat loves to kill lizards(anoles) on you back porch. i dont like killing, and wifey hates the dead lil guys everywhere. sunday i caught the cat about to kill one, i ran over and saved it, then in a flash decision, put him in my room. next day, same thing again, saved another.
1 have 2 in there now, finally saw 1, he was at the top of my 6ft arjans haze, havent seen the other. he picked the best plant, as its a 12+ week flowerer, and im at 4, not nearly the buds that are on my sssdh and mazars and trainwreck.

also just got my automatic fan controller today. it lets you set the "idle" speed and what temp you want the idle to kick in at. so when its below 80 in there(or whatever you set) the fan slows done to the speed you set. perfect for lights out, lots less noise

evening stonerz...loving this cool weather once agin...been out walking the groves of boo...they are sooo loving the rain we had months ago, new shoots are topping 40' and growing...the pinks, yellows, and blacks all send their regards...

rooster, glad to hear the epsom salts helped...keep us posted on how the nute reduction does...less IS more with these plants until you learn to read them...at one time I was using 3 liquid nutes, specific guanos for specific seasons, humic acid, kelp, added potassium, trace elements, all kinds of advanced goodies and co2 on top of all that...what a headache...I use 3 liquid nutes and a spash of epsom or guano, depending on what they have to tell me...leaves speak volumes...

I'm off for a serious repotting session...4" cups into gallon containers and gallons containers to 3 gallon containers...gotta mix the soil blend, add some myco, worm castings, and were off to pottsville...I just love this endeavour

dinner break...rooster, the porn looks great...they are in that awkward time where they are not vegging and not laden with trichs...this is the time when they are getting ready to explode and continue to pack on weight...the most favorite time I have in the grow house is when they are finishing and still packing on weight...that last week is all important for weight...don't know what you're growing but I see lossa sativa dominance so be prepared to flower for mebbe 10-11 weeks...go to radio shack and get a small microscope and use that to guage the trich maturation...cloudy to amber is what I aim for...I'm impressed...really, for a new grower your work seems to be top shelf...

I have cut back on my Nutes as OGH and BOO have told me to do. Hoping they will do better.



Is this the Claw Every one is talking about.

[boo]

rooster, I would think if it was over fertilized the claws would show some burning or yellowing...have you checked the pH of the nutrient solution you are using...you may have nute block upon further examination...the buds look well developed but the leaves are not happy...that will affect the yeild and reduce it dramatically...

I check my PH with every feeding I do

My water is RO water that starts out at 6.5 and I set my Gal. Jugs out for 2 days to get the Cloren out of it. Then I test it and put PH Down in to get it to 5.5 to 5.8 before I feed my girls. I have been very carfull about the PH. Im thinking I have just giving them To Much Love and feeding them to much like you sayed before. It will take a few days to see if the Lower Nutes feeding is helping and when things change GOOD OR BAD I will get some more pixs to you.

Did you get your dirt mixed up. If you ever need a pair of hands to help, Just give me A shout.

Thanks Again Boo,
