good to hear. i water my 3 gal 5-6 days inbetween.

i water till it slightly drains, the bottom, the master roots are at the bottom, gotta saturate the whole medium.wen you do that you wont water but once a week , maybe longer, and i dont water again till it gets near dry. thats wat ed rosenthal says in his book and i think all cash croppers wil lagree. internodes stay real close , no stretching unless its a stretchy sativa.

exactly what i have been doing. you got a link to that book? i think i remember it.

yeah i have heard its better to let the plants dry out before watering again... but i dont give them that much a day and it still drains out the bottom.. i got a soil tester too and every morning the plants are down to like 3 outta 10...

you know wat you need ,location and region may wat causes less or more water.

Check this shit out (pics at bottom)

So i woke up this mornin, and looked into my tent, and what do i see - but more fuckin stupid ass yellowing, meaning more problems for me tryin to figure out what the fuck is goin on in there. Ive tried everything and thought about what it could possibly be, and still no progress. so i did it this evening. I took off the fuckin vinyl to the tent.

I took it off without fuckin it up, just in case the tent wasnt the problem, and i replaced it with a temporary material until i figure out the real problem. I took a clear plastic dropcloth, and i cut it to fit around the tent. Like i said, its only temporary until i know its the tent for sure, in which case ill buy some panda film and do it up right. I know it has no reflective material really other than the actual walls in my closet which are useless right now because of the plastic, lol, but it doesnt seem to matter.

So i took everything apart, took the vinyl off, put on the plastic, put everything back in and back together, and leave it alone for a couple hours. I come back two hours later, and check shit out , and i think i see some improvement, but my eyes could be foolin me because i want this to be the solution to the damn problem so bad. So i leave again, and decide not to check on the babies for a few more hours.

I come back a total of 6 hours after i changed shit out, and what do i see? - EVERY SINGLE PLANT has had a mini growth spurt of a couple cms, and nothing is drooping anymore, they all look like they fuckin came out of a coma, and realized they were supposed to be growing. Now, i cant say that the tent is the problem for sure yet, but ill know within the next two days. It looks like the vinyl is shapin up to be the problem though, its safe to say that im like 90% sure its the tent man.

So just so im not flappin my gums, i took a pic of the most prominent change in the tent. This plant just looked fuckin horrible. was drooping, and half the plant was turning yellow. I changed the material, and she literally stood right the fuck up, and looks fuckin happy as hell now, despite the temps in the tent (which raised 2 degrees), they all look happy as fuck to be where they are, and i think i can honestly look forward to a nice healthy grow with minimal problems man. Im fuckin stoked


So heres two pictures for you guys just to give you an idea of the change that happened in 6 fuckin hours man:

Before:


aaaaaaaand fuckin AFTER:



I mean seriously - can you fuckin believe it?? not that the plant is better, but that the company making these tents actually put those fuckin defective pieces of shit out on the market. I only spend 70 bucks on it so im not too salty about it, but im fuckin glad i took that shit off before it was too late man. Ill post some more pics in like 2-3 days when i know for sure without a doubt that the tent was the problem. if anything else arises, ill let you guys know

thanks for tunin in ,

thats pretty cool but super small though veg looked very good though!

I know they move man, but what im sayin is, THAT plant in particular has been lookin depressive for the last 4 days, droopin like that lookin like they wanna commit suicide. It would be hard to believe that the change in this girl isnt directly contributed to the change that was made with the tent material. Theres no way man - n like i said, ALL of the plants are showing improvements man, not just this one.

come on Gyps, you seriously think that its just me fuckin with everything too much thats killin the plants?? man, i keep away from them as much as possible, but its not like you can just sit there and let them continue to yellow, and wither up, n just hope that it gets better by leaving them alone - you gotta test shit constantly to make sure levels are all correct, and make sure that nothing your doing is wrong. Temperature isnt TOO out of control, so this drastic of a problem couldnt be caused by that, so its got to be some other outside factor thats effecting everything. n it aint ME, lol.

Oh Dude... I think you are doing great!!!!

I am happy they are doing well...

I don't think you are killing your plants at all...

Never though that...

You have come such a long ways... we are all proud of you Bro...!!!!

OK .. fine.. I am proud of him...

It's been a long and bumpy road but here we are... progress has been made ...

Anybody else wanna join me so I can use we again????...lol...

lol i kid i kid. to be honest when i first saw this journal i thought man look at this fool tryin to grow in a fuckin cardboard box in the top of his closet lol. and now look at this shit! i believe i was one of the first if not the first to comment was i not haha that whole fuckin first page i remember was filled balls to the wall with pics lol. keep it up man we be learnin new shit every single day...

Looking good man and I wouldn't sweet the tent man sounds like you found out in time. Shit man My room cost around $600 for the initial build and god only knows how much else has went into it; I don't even want to try and add it up.

Babys are looking good.

PS posting pics up in a few heres a sneak peak.

Werd man, lol. Believe me dude, I didnt even think my shit would grow when i first started this whole thing. I fuckin put 3 seeds into the same pot, and started shit up with nothin but one wall hang lamp with a 100w bulb in it. By the end of the first 3 weeks i was setting up my shelf. Fuckin even amazed myself with how quick i started to fuckin upgrade n get addicted to it man. So thanks guys, respect Seriously i never thought in a million years that i would be gettin this far along with all of it, n i REALLY didnt think that itd become a hobby that ill be doin when im old n grey - even then ill still be willing to get taken away in handcuffs, get back out, n get right back to growin!!!


Fuckin every single grower thats postin in here either has or had a bomb ass fuckin grow goin on, n its fuckin awesome to see all this talent in one community man. I mean, if this shit were to ever become legally marketable, or when they make the rest of the country like Cali is right now, half of the people on here would be either running a compassion joint, or growing for one, n thats fuckin real man. Yall keep up the good work, n ill keep leaching off of all your intelligence put together, i promise

N thanks for the song Gyps btw, that was a great ending to a good day man. time to get my bedtime bubbler on, n im out guys. Til tomorrow ----- lets fuckin see what happens, LOL. u never know with my shit man, i could wake up tomorrow n the fuckin thingll be on fire..... It could happen man.

Hell yea growing is awesome
