Happy New Year Everyone!!!

Day 44 - Thursday, 1/1/2009

Day 16 of Flowering
Day/Night Schedule: 12/12
pH: 6.0

1) Yellowing in the lower leaves has diminished since application of epsom salts.

2) Fine yellow spotting/speckling on the top of two colas. Do you think this might be light/heat burn?

During the vegetative stage, it doesn't matter if the photoperiod bounces around a little bit, but you just want to make sure they're getting at least 18 hours of light. Like purp said, the AG lights turn on and off automatically on an 18/6 schedule, so it's pretty worry-free. During the flowering period though, a timer is mandatory, you've got to stay as close to 12/12 as possible.That's why I was making such a big deal out of accidentally extending my flowering period to 13/11.

Well I really fucked up I did not notice my plants we already touching the lights and them seemed to have singed many of the baby growth and many of the white hairs are gone... I haven't had time to raise them because they out grew the stand so now I have to rig something to raise them ... So now fear from burning them more I have not turned on the lights for more than 24 hrs what will mostlikely happen ... I will fix the lights when I get home from work..
Should I pluck off like burned leaves and baby growth from the top or let it try and recooperate

BANANA- you ph is a lil high for stage of growth you in...you need to be 5.5-5.8 during flower cause your plant needs the nutrients that are easily uptaken with a lower ph.

Good call, I'm gonna start lowering it gradually today. Do you think I should flush the reservoir?
 
Looks good Bannana hey guys question for all ? Do you think that lower temperatures mean more females? Also how cold is to cold? I can close the vent in my bedroom which makes it like 60 degreez farenheight at night just wondering if this is a good Idea or not . I read somewhere that said lower temps make females more likeley

Like purp says.
You dont have to flush for Ph. I'd just adjust it and check it in a couple hrs since you're pretty close anyway. Just get it in the 5.2-5.8 range and you should be good.
 
purpdaddy said:
no just put some Ph down to lower the alkalinity percentage in th water/make your numbers drop

Yeah, I know, that's what I've been using to regulate. I meant the flushing as a separate issue, should I be flushing my reservoir to get rid of excess nutes and solids at this stage?

I only flush the AG every 2 weeks, unless there is a problem and that's been okay so far for me.
 
hey banana,

great job thus far. I've been watching this thread for sometime now, I've got a similar set up with an aerogarden classic. I have recently run into a minor issue and was wondering if any of you kind people out there could help in finding a solution. my "girls", lets hope, are between 1-3 weeks in, i started them at different time periods, and just within the past few days the largest of the three is starting to show signs of yellowing and slight burning on one of the leaves, practically the entire leaf with the occasional spot or two on others. The second largest is now doing the same thing and i am puzzled to what is doing this. I have been giving the proper amount of nutes, fox farm grow big, and i try and keep my ph around 6.3. I just got done flushing the resevior as well, so everything is new and clean.

Could someone please shine some light on what I'm doing wrong, I dont want them to die

also, I apologize for not adding pics, my camera is lame :(

thanks so much,
Miles

Hey Miles!! Welcome to the forum, and thanks for following my journal!

I've also had some yellowing problems lately, but in trying to diagnose them, I found that yellowing can suggest any number of problems. Where are the yellowing leaves on your plants? The lower leaves? New growth?

Your pH might also be a little high for this stage of growth, and your plants might not be absorbing the vital nutrients they need as a result. As purpdaddy and Hairy mentioned, you should try to bring that pH down to the 5.2-5.8 range, but do so gradually.

Post some pix if yuo can. A pix IS worth a 1000 words.
Your Ph should be under 6. I run 5.2-5.8. You may be locking out the nutrients they need to grow. Just top them all to get them the same size or you'll have issues later.
 
okay first off, thank you for taking the time to respond. I was able to work out the bugs in my camera and have attached a couple pics of my oldest plant, sorry if the quality is a bit off. as you can see the yellowing is on the bottom set of leaves.

now it was mentioned that my ph could be a little high, how do i lower this gradually. I have been adding nutes to do this up until now, if say its at 6.8 ill add enough to get it down to 6.3, but is this correct method in adjusting ph? and Hairy you said to top my plants to keep them all at the same level, how do i do this effectivley?

thanks again.

Just add Ph down to the soup. When you make a new batch of nutes, adjust your Ph AFTER you add the nutes. Always allow enought time for the mix to stabalize before checking Ph or anything. and get a ppm meter as wel.. That'll help you judge how many nutes they need. Running 6.3 is still to high IMHO. These babies dont need nutes yet. You're burning them up..

To top them you just pinch them off at the main stem at say the 4th of 5th node. You can top them every couple weeks while they are vegging if you want lots of colas.
