my outdoor grow so far! (And a bit of help needed also) (PICS)

hey guys!

i just wanted to show you all my grow so far so you can tell me what you think?
this is my first proper grow (last time grew one, it was male) planted 5 alltogether in 3 or 4 gallon buckets.ive been using tomorite with NPK 4, 4.5, 8. and my PH is 6.5,7.

i have just put my babies into flower as they where showing pre flowers and i needed to force flower them because im worried of the english weather.
ive made a cupboard light tight and put them in there from 8.30 pm to 8.30 am.

well the wikid thing is that so far 4 of them have turned female. which is such a great outcome so far. the 5th one is tiny, this is because i cut off most of the roots transplanting at the begining. i thought it was going to die but actually came through. just really small. hopefully that will be female too haha.

i had problems before with nutes so i flushed all of them on sunday and they realy started to perk up since then. there are still a few problems with the leaves. the stupid thing is, i cant remember if they where like that before. its only been 2 days since i flushed so i thinki ll give it longer to see what happens. whats your thoughts on the problems?
i might have forgot a few things, when i remeber them il post em up. the last pic is of the one that pulled the roots off. also i planted them al at the end of may.

i have attached some pictures here of my grow. shots of the babies and the leave problems.
thanks guys peace

cool man. yea i can imagine (blue cheese) must of get well to cold. you kinda need to force flower with most strains in the uk. the weather is just to shit, everywhere.
mine are loving the dark period in the closet at the mo. havent seen any problems. and beacuse of that ive found out 4 are female so result there. dont know about the little one yet. just hope they pull through september then i should be fine for harvest. good luck with your grow this year man. hope the force flowering goes well for you.

i was just flicking through the pictures of your plant leafs and think your problem MIGHT be over feeding but i think you already stated that you gave them a flush and everything so i think you pretty much got that covered, are these plants anything special? or just out of some bags you've brought?. and thanks for the kind words mate, with the force flowering i was hoping to cover them up (with a big plastic box and then black sheets over the top of that) at around 7pm then uncover later on after its dark so they can wake up to the sunrise, do you think this would work or should i take a page out of your book and put them in my growbox inside? hoping ya can lend a few words of advice and would be much appreciated

my plants are all bagseed. i was just lucky enough to get all female.

and with the force flowering. i dont really have a reason for not doing it the way you are thinking. i just didnt want to do it like that for some reason. or i didnt think of it at the time. haha. the reason i take mine inside into a dark room is because i know for deffinate that i am giving them twelve hours of darkness a night and i feel safe knowing that i have brought them inside. i bring them in at 8 30 and get them out at 8 30 when i wake up for work so it fits in well for me. i just find it easy and simple to bring them in a take them out. and you no everything will be fine.

and also dont forget that as the months go on sunset and sunrise times change. so you might have to shift your pattern as the months go on.

im quite stoned at the mo, but i hope it made sense to you bro. if there summin you didnt understand or anything else let me no.

by the way this took me fucking agies to write! haha
p.s no worries with the kind words man. always welcome.

looks pretty good ol chap,.. do u guys still say that in england? haha

definatly a good idea on the in and out at 8;30, i used to do that when i grew indoors and didnt have a flowering room...definatly nice to speed up the process rather than waiting. just wait untill you got fat nuggets slappin you in the face as you carry them in and out.

ill be checkin things out as you continue your grow...keep it real man

pure jammey haha very lucky
i got the femminised seeds so didnt have to deal with dissapointment got the og kush #18, DNA genetic sour kush and couple white russians also some diesel ryders so should be comfortable long into the winter.
well i guess stoned minds think alike made perfect sense think youve swayed my decision would make things alot easyer wouldnt want to cause them any stress!
and again much apprechiate the time and effort! haha
hopefully some more UK growers will drop by on this thread

looking good mlore. you do have a def, at least in two of the plants from what i can tell and it looks as if it is caused by over nuting. you can cause lock out which means that there are salts blocking other nutrietns from being uptaken. there are also tale tell signs of irregular wateringing. if you are able to get ahold of a rinse agent to help with flushing, as they are in pots they will need it more regularly especially now that flowering has started for them. heres a link to a chart that shows the ideal ph needed for optimal nutrient uptake http://www.gardenscure.com/420/hydroponics/138469-sound-off-nutrient-strengths-ph-more.html there are others simalar but i find this one easier on the eyes. it says hydro but its pretty darn close for us soil baggers ya dig? peace and happy growing

yeah im gonna buy some fem seeds soon and do the full shindigg if you get me hhaha. get some lights and stuff. this was kinda a test run. and everything has gone okay so far.
yeah dude its so much easier on the plants if you just move them to a dark room for 12 hours. and its just simple and easy. as long as you havent got to many plants. then it might be a pain in the backside. you gotta have dedication. which i think every grower has.
hope so, would be cool to hear how their grows going outdoors. easy bro
