All this info I grabbed from my growlog off of the growery.

I'm probably jumping the gun on this but, Im impatient I gotta buy a digital camera. all I got for now is my cellphone. Ill try to get them up as soon as possible cause I know its difficult for you guys to help me unless I have them.. so Ill go ahead and put my neut list and cocktails. Im using the hempy setup. The lighting setup was a 400w MH until I moved into a new room and am currently using a 2foot 5bulb t5 setup. When it comes to flowering I will be using a 600w HPS.

Nova Grow
Nova Bloom
Floralicious Plus
Flora Blend
liquid Kool Bloom

Currently in my grow I have

1x TrainWreck from Greenhouse
1x Vanilla Kush from Barneys Farm
these are both about 3 weeks into the grow which I started in dirt and transferred to hempy cups straight perilite.

Today I Just planted
3X pineapple Express from G13
1X pineapple Chunk from Barneys farm
1X RockLock from DNA genetics

For the feeding Im using about 510 ppm on the three week old plants. Im not sure if that is too much or early in the grow. The cocktail consists of 2.5mil Nova Grow , 1.0mil Floralicous, and 10mil of Flora blend..as of today the plants are a little droopy from the transplant. Im not sure if its due to the transplant? Overfeeding? or the temp in my room.. I havent quite got the temp in the room setup cause I have no heat or cooling source in the room I recently moved too. Its been around 60 degrees today.

The cocktail for the new seedlings is 310ppm, planted in rockwool cubes with a small vented dome. the nutes are 1.0mil of nova grow and 15mil of florablend.

In the picture above I raised the light so you can see. I have a bagseed plant Ive been torturing. it got a little fried from the MH. thats the big one. the right rear corner is the trainwreck and up closer is the vanilla kush. they are both three weeks old. After seeing Diesel's growlog from a 3 week old plant. Im wondering if hes feeding his plants powerbars or something. LOL this is of course a older picture before I did the transplant.

All input and corrections would be much appreciated. I hope to get pics soon

This is a bagseed I had for a little while. I named it wildwest as a joke from a friend. I think the top looks great. bottom not so good.

----------5-19-2010(update)--------------

I didnt take anymore pics of wildwest. I thought it was dead. I came back to the room today and noticed some new growth after I had it trained.

I planted some RockLock with the pineapple express it never germed..

Here we have the Vanilla Kush From Barneys farm.. feeding 580ppm and they seem to be doing very well. I have a toothpick under the blurry image to try and hold the plant down as part of the training.. It seems its going to be a very bushy plant.

This was once the tall and skinny ass Train Wreck. I fixed that shit thanks to FurrowedBrow's LST Training Info. Im feeding this one 580ppm as well.



-------------------5/25/2010-------------------

Today I Transplanted the shitty bagseed, TrainWreck and Vanilla Kush the root ball was all over the cut and it for sure needed the transplant
I increased nutrient uptake to 860ppm for the 2 plants.

This is the trainWreck I was trying to show the twisting of the branch from training.
Im trying to turn this long stringy bastard into a squatty bush.

This is the Vannilla Kush. Im trying to keep it short as well not having any trouble. It corrected it self and grew out more.

These are the Pineapple Express and the Pineapple Chunk.. I couldnt find a marker so I forgot which was which, but shes in there!! These Were exactly 2 Weeks old Sunday.

This is a Bagseed plant that refuses to fucking die.. my friend wants to keep it alive ,but I say fuck him we need more room.. Im gonna laugh my ass off if its Male..
The major problem; after I looked at the root ball and noticed the enormous amount of water still in the bottom of the gatoraide jar. Is Root Rot and it was just over watered..
sorry for the shitty grammar..

well you got a good setup I would say but that temp is your main problem. You never really want it to get below 70. From the info you gave I would say thats why your plants are droopy. I mean paired with the transplant and everything thats a lot of stress on a plant. Also that skinny one is really stretched or looks to be IMO. Idk if you got your lights up to high away from the plant or what. Those bigger ones look to have a little nute burn but other than that they look ok. The bottom droppy leaves could be from the temp or over watering.

How often do you water?

ya i agree it does look to be stretching. in that one pic. I ended up reworking the plant in the cup to have it in there kind of sideways.. I plan to do an update this tuesday. one major problem im having with the room is I dont have a temperature control so whatever it is outside it will be in the room. the trainwreck and the vanilla kush are exploding with growth.. two days after my last update, I checked rewatered and my vanilla kush and trainwreck literally doubled in size.. to answer the watering question, I havent really messed with the bagseed plant. it belongs to a friend and im just not that concerned about it ,but he wants to keep it alive.. its the same shit we have been smoking for 6 months.. im bored with it. I water about everyday to two days. Im using the hempy cups. so it soaks up alot of nutes.

right now its getting about 70 at night, during the day about 80 maybe ninety. I know its going to be a major problem when I start flowering. Im in a scram to get it worked out. its basically the extension on to my house, with an old shower Im using for my veg room. plants atm seem to be doing really well. I plan to do an update tomorrow. this new hempy grow Im using is by far the fastest I have ever gotten my plants to grow.

70 to 80 temp is not bad but getting over 90 without some CO2 in there is not good for the plants. You cant vent the room maybe get some fresh air coming in?
Im really having the same problem with my grow seeing as I can't vent my room I have to push the cold air from my a/c duct to the closet with a series of fans lol. It's pretty ghetto but it you get some more pics up maybe I can give you some ideas.....

Why do you have so much perlite in you medium, or is your medium just perlite? That could be whats holding your plants back, get those things in some soil. Roots need the proper environment to grow, whats going on below ground is just as if not more important than whats going on above it.

Checked it out, and I stick with my previous statement, get them into some soil... but I cant knock you for trying something different. hopefully things work out good for you.
