My first thread died pretty quick due to fairly small pictures. So hopefully these pictures will keep fellow viewers happy:-o

That being said, Right now I'm in the process of getting all the funds together to run a complete flood table system up and running. But for now this will have to do..
The 2 strains being grown as the title says are sweet afghan delicious and Lemon skunk. Im using a single 600w hps bulb for the flower tent and a 6 bulb 4 ft fluoro set up for veg. (pictures will be up in a minute, and will keep updates weekly. The more the merrier! Pop up a squat so you can give this new grower some tips)

These show the 9 clones (3 weeks veg) The first picture out of these shows one of the lemon skunks fan leaves. They seem to be doing this slowly but surely. I believe its due to Ph problem/nute lock. when I bought my GH organic line nutes, The guy at the store said I don't need to ph the water. Well I haven't been, until now. I ph'd the water after adding nutes and it was down around 5 ! So I added some ph up and got it to 7 so hopefully this helps with that issue.

The bottom 3 pictures show some bud growth,canopy of the healthy s.a.d s1 and the very sad lemon skunk on the right :( As with the veg plants, this girl seems to be suffering from ph. Like a bad father I havent been checking ph like I should have been. (I work 12 hour shifts and get pretty lazy at times.. still no excuse i know :/ ) But Im taking care of her now. Got the ph to about 5.5-6 right now but likes to fluctuate..

Issue 2 is shown in picture 5. This picture shows whats happening to the young S.a.d. s1's... I believe its due to the same problem as the little skunks... ph/nute lock/ low nute...any input?

yes yes you caught it.. I just posted about it actually.. I checked 2 days ago and it was flying high around 7.5 !!! I quickly fixed that ... Being a 5 gallon bucket, with water and nutes being used the ph fluctuates so much. I have it set on 5.5-6 right now. . I give them about 50 ml of sensi bloom a and b a week.

These are some of the young (3 1/2 week veg) S.A.D s1's ... They all are suffering from something and I can't seem to fix it... I know the ph probably has been an issue. The hydro store guy told me I didnt have to ph my solution before watering. Well I checked it before watering this past sunday and it was around 4.5-5 !!!! which is obviously extremely low. So I ph'd it to about 7 then watered. . . From looking around online it looks like it could be a number of things.. Nute lock out due to ph... Some sort of cal-mag deficiency or possibly nute burn (which seems unlikely with organic )

I give them nutrients every watering following the GH nutrient ratings.. About 1tsp per gallon.. I was watering every 3 or 4 days with around 500 ml of water. But the soil wasn't getting dry enough so I water about every 6 or 7 days (depending on soil dryness) and give them the same amount of nutes.. Anyone have any idea whats wrong with these ladies??? I really don't want to see this problem progress.
 
Sorry guys.. I'm not trying to run up this thread. I am pretty concerned about my little ladies though... If anyone can help me fix them and get them healthy again please don't hesitate to post with some advice !
 
Here's another update ! The 2 ladies in flower are now about 5 weeks flower and doing pretty well.. You can see the lemon skunk (picture 1) is still looking skimpy. . Im still not sure of the cause. I haven't gotten much input from anyone on here what it could be. I thought it was ph but I have been monitoring it and it's stayed between 5.5 -6.2 so I don't know.. The S.A.D s1 girl is looking and smelling AMAZING !!! the resin production on her is really starting to take off. She smells so so sweet. . You can see the buds on her in pictures 3,4,5,6,7....

Then you can see the 2 pictures of the ladies in veg. They are also doing well. Growth still seems minimal but they are moving along. . I plan on putting those 9 girls in flower this weekend and then taking clones off them after they stretch out a little .. So anyone who is interested pop up a squat because this thread is far from over.
 
I am interested. :-P

Your Lemon Skunk bud looks nice but overall the plant is very spindly but they do bulk up later in life. The s.a.d looks like it is enjoying life more than the Lemon Skunk but they both will be very tasty.

Both are definitely progressing nicely . The lemon skunk is still moving extremely slow but I'm hoping she turns out.. It will take longer the the suggested 9 weeks that Green House said it would take... But as long as the fruits are sweet I can wait :) I will have new pictures up later today
