N.L. and Friuty grow.

Well had to help get the shell off. it was a pain to crack off. but got it. well she is standing stright up and now is looking pretty good.

well i got the bc starter kit from the local hydro store. now that i put the nutes in im noticing that the leaves are starting to curl under. how do i counter this? i read that its from over feeding. how do i reverse the affects to keep the plant healthy?

bump need some info asap.

anything anyone?

Leaves curling down is from overfeeding so what you should do is remove a gallon or two and replace it with plain, pHed water.

thanks man i ph'ed a half gallon and added it to the 5 gallon bucket seemed to settle it down a little in ph too so thats good. are you familiar with the technoflora recipe for succss mixing chart by chance? anyone for that matter. it says Feed, water, water, feed. so if i do it for 8 weeks ill go through that sequence twice? and by just water they mean just plan ph'ed water?

I honestly couldn't tell you cause I have no experience with those nutes. Someone should be by to help you out.

well so everyone has a reference this is the table im talking about http://www.technaflora.com/sharedfiles/Canadian2007.pdf

well a friend just told me i was a dumb ass and its not soiless its hydropoincs... i know sucks being solber.

okay i have another question. lol would trimming the leaves cause it to branch out more?

No it will just cause the plant to grow very slowly until it replaces that leaf. Look around the site for How-To's about fimming or topping.

when i change the water tommorow should i increase the amount of nutes to put in from 1/4 to 1/2 or keep it at 1/4 for right now and add more nutes in a week or 2.

Well it's hard for me to answer that without pics, but how old are they now and how many sets of leaves do they have?

well me being the dumb person that i am went and cut off the first set of leaves before i read your post... have to stop old habits.

Well that shouldn't affect them too much. You should still go with 1/4 strength until they have at least 4 sets of "true" leaves, Not the little round cotyledons cause those are just the inside of the seed.

sorry everyone still no digi cam. but its doing pretty good. its on its 5th set of leaves. and is less then 6'' tall. i have hardly no stretchin at all. i think im going to bring it up to about 1/2 strength nutes when i put fresh water. What amount of water should i be using in a 5 gallon bucket if my root system is already down to the bottom of the bucket? i was thinking about 2 2.5 gallons of water max. but anyone else have any ideas to chime in with?

and would it be to stressful to sex the plant and then try putting it back into veg? im only doing 1 plant to see how i do with DWC so i dont want to waste alot of time on a male if that is what it turns out to be.
