This is my third grow but second proper grow. I'm growing Himlayan gold.
Plant no. 1 and 2 sprouted on 22nd feb 2009. 3 and 4 between 5 and 8 of march...
This means that plant 1 and 2 are a month old... wtf
PH is between 6.5 to 7.0
Temp used to be very high... 87ish but now it remains within 70 to 77
I've just transplanted them today into the bigger pots that you see and added the extra light. I don't know what could be wrong.
The only thing that i can think of is that its toxic fumes from my grow tent but it's a Secret Jardin Darkroom DR60 so i don't know. My other two grows were in a BudBox and it was fab but it's too big... lol
So has anyone else tried Darkroom and its worked out?
thanx for stopping by and help will be apreciated. thxn

also with the first two plants i kinda stressed them like 2 weeks ago with very low humidity and temperatures around 88 to 89.
The soil is Bio Bizz, All mix
Also, the leaves are very small. They don't grow into proper fan leaves.

Looks like it's been over-watered.

Growin' HG too . . . VERY healthy plant, IMO. It's 7 weeks in flower. I noticed while mine was in veg that it would appear to need water well before it actually did, so?
I believe I recall reading here Himalayan that HG likes slightly low pH in early stage?

I can't swear to it, but most of mine seem to be below 6.5.
I didn't monitor the HG becuz' it grew outrageously from the get-go.
Was just reading yesterday at HG link that some growers think the genus hasn't been perfected yet. I must've gotten one of the great seeds?

I hope your's kick in, cuz' this is one vigorous strain. I stopped vegging at maybe 8" and it's gotta be 3 foot now, with several solid, foot long colas.

Over watering or simply to much air movement.

You don't need fans at that stage -

Are you growing 24/0 or 18/6? -

If the plants are still that size , going flowering is a waste of time.

yea, that's why i didn't water them for ages and then watered them with a lower ph. i also put a big cloth on top of my grow tent because i could see lots of light leaking out at night. when i did all these precautions, they started getting better. check the pics!!!

Looking good but if you're having over-watering issues, you should cut your soil with white coarse perlite. Use 4 parts soil to 1 part perlite. You can get the MG brand perlite from the big stores and it works well.
