YUP, SAME SHYTY SOIL & SPROUTS,,,LOL...i started with some MG nutes, then some bullshyt nute but the burnt tip look had already begun. this was at the end of week 5 just before flowering. after flowering started the nutes & shyt got worse real quick !

i also just noticed i'd been getting the wrong damn water. started gettin distilled from walmart after my tap water literally fried my first grow when i ran out of the bottled water i was using @ 2 weeks in & looking good .

started 2nd grow with distilled water & things went great for 4 weeks, thats when i noticed that i made a mistake & picked up the cheap gallon drinking water. the next few trips to the store i made sure i got the rite shyt but i just looked down at my jug & its that damn cheap drinking water again & i was about to flush with it !

ran out & got a few gallons of the rite stuff. hopefully things will turn around quickly with this flush. water seems to be getting lighter everytime i fill the pot & it drains threw....i have know idea how much water to use when flushing but they are gonna get at least a gallon each.

i don't think it matters where you buy it, its gonna suck ass !..lol...i wouldn't even waste a bag seed on it again !....i guess this is what happens when you go tooo cheap...some things i guess you can't totally skimp on !

but on a happier note...i do have other plants that are doing a lil better at the moment...a lil leaf damage 'the same as others" but not that bad so i'm fighting to find a cure fast...i got 1 that i topped at about 4 weeks & another at 5 along with a couple untouched but a bit scrawny from being transplanted late

here are a few pics..& i still gotta re-do my set up, thrown together pretty quick..but what yall think ? 6 42w 2700, 2 23w 2700 & 2 26w 6500..i put the last 2 in cuz some say thier plants luv the 2 spectrums of light together...gonna but 2 more 23w 2700 in this week, my socket broke & gotta get a new 1...might even throw in a couple more 26w 2700 since i have them laying around from vegging.

well they say the more light the better...i got my 26w 6500 daylight bulbs from walmart 3 for $6 & change, they don't carry the warm white "2700" in 26w or i would've got them cuz the 42 watters kick you in the ass...walmart don't have them so had to go to home depot, fuckers want $ & change for 1 ! got the 23 watters from walmart for $6 & change , 4 pack !

come to think of it, i got some 26w warm white i got online, only 2 of them but hey, can't hurt. gotta find them, thier here some where...lol

hey gobears..after my 1st grow went down i took notice to the soil being so tight & compact & i felt that the roots might not be able to grow all that well so i added "perilite" to the soil & it helped it to drain & kept the soil a lil looser for this grow...but i also noticed that too much of it & it will cause your soil to dry quicker.
