looks like she needs N,but it also looks like this is not her only problem.
more info on growing conditions would help...

 

[greengnome]

this was an outdoor, that has come inside to a new room of her own.

temps are around 80-90 daytime (actually seems like it was doing better in higher temps we will get to that question latter)

175 hps converted to run mrEhood about 16-18 inches away

this is lower level so it's always cool down there, fully insulated room, nearly 100% sealed exhaust only, no intake yet.. it's coming, cause we smoke cigs I don't want contaminated air entering room/closet space.

sux cause this is back yard dirt, rock bottom pot, 2 inches of sand then dirt.
I will repot it after it's done and hopefully get it into better dirt.

as of late I have been having temp problems, for days on end the average temp wouldn't pass 85.6F ever it just sat there for 2 weeks solid day time temp, now I find it climbing just over 90 now, I'll have to work on better exhaust.

used a 20-10-20 during summer veg and pruning.

using 9-19-6 concentrate african violet food now. every second day. seems like it is eating up this food like nothen to it, mixed half strenght.

oscilating fan on always.

rkrone bump, any help appreciated .... I hope description is a little better... other than I have been leaving my fan on at night and used to give it calm time at night with no fan or anything....

will light penatration from clone room threw insulation cause issues?... I only have a few more pieces of dry wall to put up to complete the room, just been a huge task and have not got back to it yet.

I tested and seen very very little glow in sealed dark room.

 

[Guest]

if your eyes can adjust and there is a visible glow, you are asking for hermies

 

[greengnome]

hu, talken to a noob here what is hermies? hmm, never mine, hemos ya.. kk, bad bad stuff, but no, I don't think light glow is even near 1 lumen if any at all, one would describe it as moon glow but no visible light hitting the growen area.

 

[greengnome]

so am i susposed to prune off the fan leaves to get more light down to the flower?

hope someone can help me out here.

I don't recommend ever removing fans leaves. They are the factories,warehouses, and health indicators. Tuck them under if you have to. Think of it this way, your buds are energy sinks, and your fans are energy producers. Thats why your plant grows one fan per node. Each fan feeds a node.

 

[greengnome]

Okay i started leaving my osicilating fan on all night, is this maybe wrong, it seems it didn't react well to this and has slowed down.

Remember this was outside in a pot, and got more wind than anything most of the summer so it's wind trained already, however, the reason I leave fan on at night now is cause, they say bugs wont beable to do anything with it being windy. Or it will at least reduce the risk.

So i got the time today to make sure there is a 100% light seal, I have also noticed things are getting better again, as this had to be moved a couple times it seems to take awhile to establish it's enviro.

I wonder can you supliment N with a 20-20-20 mixed really lightly and go water food water bloom water food water bloom, for one week daily.

At least I seem to like the water one day food next day, seems.... error free, and less chance of over ferting.

 

[Wiimote]

If you have to feed or water daily, you need to transplant badly. You can do water/feed but it should be 3-5 days between each. If you water or feed daily, you will drown those plants. However, yes you can add light veg feeds into the cycle if your losing fans too quick or seeing other signs of an N def. But I can't stress this enough, do not do it daily.

Now, it looks like your in soil, but if your soiless or hydro ignore this post as I don't know squat about either of them.

 

[greengnome]

well I find if I leave it for 2 days it will have all leaves will be hanging down, so I do the nasty when that happens and super charge it.

I put kabob sticks down into soil about 10-20 times to make a lot of little holes as the soil is extreemly compact not the needed vermi, per, and peat, which will happen when I repot it after it's done it's cycle, when I do this I usually do a feeding and recovery time of plant is anywhere from 5 - 20 minutes and it's standing very strong once again.

So instead of leaving it for 2 days, I water maybe 1 to 2 ounces of water a day, very very little water that's for sure, cause when I can tell it really needs water, I water generously.

Now my next problem is that I put a cloning chamber on the lower level, this is keeping my room very warm, 90's and I have not been able to cool it down more since adding in the rest of the drywall. This provided more insulation to the already insulated walls, and has increased temperature slightly.

So, I am all over the place, thankfully all clones are growing in standard potting soil, as I have still had no chance to get some #4 or promix.

I have noticed in recent days it's almost slowed down it's 'rain' production, the little fuzzy frost you see coming, was very strong at first and slowed down, is this normal, will it continue to frost after the environment is stable?

I also found it liked high temperatures up in the 95 area, and growth seemed faster..... is this odd?

bumping this topic for more sudgestions. and updated.

a strain comment sure would be nice or perhaps what I should look for in doing strain id.

it's very sad it was an only bean, there were no more

 

[greengnome]

uh? perhaps help would be appreciated

sudgestions? there gotta be lots of experienced guys who know much more than humble me.

 

[greengnome]

update, please look over week 6 photos, ignore the super yellow leaf those are distorted due to hps.

bump, now thinking this is a skunk #1 crossed with something....
