introduction.

the water in the scottish highlands is good and soft. i gave the plants their first diluted mild dose of feed. i uploaded another pic. with my fone again its all i have but you can see the growth.
stormy weather so the humidity went up a couple i see that as good. lots of rain.

i had to go away over night and the plants dried out a bit, the first set of leaves are dried to a crisp and yellow, but the rest of the plant is thriving its got shoots pretty much everywhere and is now back on track i uploaded another pic. looks a bit rough in the pic but the main part of the plant is real healthy.

Unlucky mate...but she still looks ok

one is better off than the other but the not so good one is the one i dropped in the begining so this has obviously had an effect on its growth, slowed it for a few days maybe. how long should it take before the plant shows signs that youve fed your plant too many nutrients? i am a bit weary of this. i feed them then give them pure water the next time the green stuff looks really healthy( just nervous about it all going wrong.)

Just take a deep breath and remember IT's A WEED!

While decreased potncy and yeild can occure, killing them is almost out of the question. They will let you know before its to late and you wont be able to miss the signs.

farmer joe, why are you not giving your plants 24 hours of light during veg? the more the better during that stage...

the cost of having the light on 24hrs is too expensive 4 me just now so 18hours is good. also it gives the room a chance to cool down at night. my plants are looking way healthy but just noticed some little yellow dots on 1 of the leaves I think its heat stress so raised the light a bit.

i just tested my soil and its about 8(alkaline) can i lower it? im not sure if the test was accurate but if it is should i do anything about it?

hey im not sure what the problem is nutrient overdose or heat stress can you help?
no browning just yellow dots.
i looked through the fotos and stuff but still cant tell . is there another way to know?(preferebally free)

If your soil is 8.0 you should do a watering wth 5.0 water... use about 1/2 to 1 gallon of water....

pH Water - See More Buds


Unless your pH is correct it is impossible to tell what is wrong with the plant... Once you get the pH of the soil to 6.0 - 7.0 your plant problems will most likely vanish..

cheers

hey guys just needed to ask something. my plants have water on the leaves, almost like sweating is this lack of air circulation or the plants putting out their toxins can you tell me if this is bad? ( i always clean it off as it could burn the leaves under the light.) plants are still very healthy cut out nutes for a few days maybe a week and will start again.

Transpiration - very interesting stuff

I have read that a plant actually only KEEPS 1% of the water it consumes.. the other 99% it sends back into the AIR... 10% of all the earths moisture enters the air through TRANSPIRATION wow!!


you are probably seeing the moisture ion the leaves... you should run a fan..

what is your room temp?


cheers

thats pretty cool. the temp is pretty steady it doesnt really go over 80 degrees. i do run a fan throughout the day not constant but every hour or two for 15 mins. my fan doesn't bring in fresh air just air movement. so maybe some more fresh air would help. have a good new year and all the best cheers.

cn sum1 help me with my seed selection plse??

i would suggest white widow feminised seeds, you can buy them from amsterdam. oh i posted another picture for you guys the plants are looking real good ive transfered them to there final pots. i take it with the new soil i will not need ferts or nutes for a week or two, or not?

hi there mate, i are'nt a top grower or anything but if you only potted ur germinated seeds a couple of days ago, hang on another couple of days, it can take upto a week for the first true shoot to break the soil!

it can take around a week for the first true shoots to break through the soil mate

i think you misread my post! my plants are almost a foot high now and in there final pots with new soil they are not seedlings i wanted to know if i should cut out nutes and ferts for a week or two? take a look at my last posted foto.

just wanted to say this has been a great thread i hope you keep us posted joe

thank you. i uploaded a pic or two of recent. there looking good.
