Planted these babies on 14 September (1 NL x Skunk #1, 1 Bella Donna, and 1 Fem WW.) In the pots it's pretty self explanitory, NL = Northern lights, BD = Belladonna and so on. I started growing these under a 400 Watt MH Conversion bulb which I probably should have started them under Flour first from what I heard. The WW looks kinda shitty but it's still growing. Today Sept 28th I gave them there first Fox Farm Grow Big Nuts feeding but only at 3rd strength. I'm using ProMix BX for a grow medium. Everything look pretty good so far though?

Keep up the good work my friend. those look about the same as mine did at that stage of growth.

Strider9880 · Sep 30, 2007

thx for the reply man I appreciate it, they've already grown quite a bit since yesterday i'm happy so far. I'll post more pics in a few days or so, I'm happy about the progress. Any input in my journal is more then welcome I could probably use some help as they get growing for sure.

I got back home today from my friends house and my roommate plugged his fridge in and blew my 400w MH conversion bulb so I don't know how long the light was off for. When i found out I plugged in my 1000w HPS light and put the plants under it. That's happened a few times I came home and my light was off is that really bad for the plant? Here's a few pics of what they look like my belladonna is kind of droopy and I know it's not overwatered.

Get a timer...problem solved.

mondaypurple · Oct 7, 2007

^^agreed. Your plant may become a harmie

Strider9880 · Oct 7, 2007

The bulb blew it doesn't work anymore I have to get a new one. I don't need a timer until I start budding I leave the light on 24/7.

JonnyBlunt88 · Oct 7, 2007

I see, one question...why does your light keep turning off?
Try not to let this happen again. Varying light cycles encourage
hermies.

Strider9880 · Oct 7, 2007

Well it doesn't keep turning off. Between me and one of my roommates electronics the circuit breaker would blow sometimes. But he unplugged his fridge for a long time and we didn't have a problem at all with the breaker going. But last night he decided to plug his fridge again and it blew the breaker the light turned off and won't turn back on. The breaker has probably blown 4 times since sept 14th when i started the plants.

The fridge is causing a surge in your electrical systems this is a common problem get a new fridge and until then use a quality extension cable for your lights if possible and plug them into a different plug socket. :blsmoke:

I know this is off topic, but was the dwelling you are growing in built in the late 70's or early 80's?

Nah I think it was built earlier then that possibly 60's, the landlord grew up in this house and he's in his forties.

We moved it into a different roommates closet, he has a bigger closet. I didn't want to put that 1000 watter in my closet for heating reasons.

Strider9880 · Oct 13, 2007

Hey guys I need some help my plants are really droopy and I'm not sure the cause. I moved my plants back from my buddies room back into my room, I picked up a new MH bulb. I watered the plants a little bit yesterday bc it had been around 3 days since I've wated them last. Then I check this morning and my plants are still droopy, I checked the soil and it was dry so I gave them a good soaking I hope that will clear it up but if not any suggestions? The PH of the soil is 7. Is it possible the plant is just doing this bc it's been under stress of being moved around and awkward light times(which won't happen anymore)? And the parts of some of the leaves that look like they were chewed off by a cat... well they were chewed off by the cat which also won't happen arymore considering everything is back in my room.

Also I fed them Fox Farms Grow Big last sunday at half strength but the plants looked great after I fed them then they started to go down hill around 4 days after I fed them.

hope they pick up for you

Strider9880 · Oct 14, 2007

Hey guys I need some help, my plants are still really droopy, I'm not sure why. The bella donna and the NL plant aren't as green as they were either. The PH of the promix is at a steady 7. I don't think I'm overwatering them at all. Is it possibly a Zinc or sulphur deficiency? The damage on the leaves is from the cat, but he is my garbage disposal.

Strider9880 · Oct 22, 2007

Well I'm working on fixing the problem with the droopy discolored leaves. I bought some boost juice and added it into my Bloodmeal tea I made and fed the plants yesterday and they're already looking alot healthier. The leaves are starting to stand up better and you can tell in some of the pics they're starting to get their green color back. You can see it in the picture to the left at the bottum right of the plant the leaves are starting to get their healthy color back.

(From left to right Bella Donna, White Widow, and NL x Skunk.)

They are looking a lot better. It's good that the booster worked. I'm sorry to hear that a cat was eating your plants, that sucks. When you look back on that though, I bet it will be quite funny that a cat was eating your marijuana...

I will check back as I growing Greenhouse White Widow and I germinated just a few days ago.

Strider9880 · Oct 22, 2007

ya it is quite funny that the cat is a stoner I don't think he really did that much damage though. I'll look at your journal also to compare and see how it's going.
