It's calcium or Mag. Do you have any Calmag layin around? If not get some and give it to them.
...sounds like he is getting some and sounds like he already gave them some.

my personal recomendation is if runoff is coming out @ around 4.0 chances are you have a PH issue rather than a deficiency, try getting some dolomite lime into your soil and see where that takes you.

google "PH lockout chart" for charts that show what nutes are avail at what PH.

and if its possible try and get a soil PH test done to find out what the PH of your soil is. (or whatever medium your growing in)

Well the lockout would present with a deficiency. One of the first to go is calcium. But he is right. You are locked out if runnof is 4.... lockout means nutrient lock out.

which chalks up to deficiency in the long run but not due to no nutrients available so before adding a bunch of shit to your plant get PH adjusted :)

I know, I always remember you talking about fruity chronic and you always had something nice to say about that strain cuz I know it's not your first time growing it am I right?.
Matt who did you order from? Attitude?

And for the photo plants I think I will do only one in a 5gal smart pot, veg her for around 6 weeks, scrog the shit out of her, because I don't think I got enough space for two photo plants in 3gal pots in my box.

Hey Matt is it possible for the ballast to loose it's power or something? My bulb is like about 4-5inches away from the top of the plant and the plant is not showing any kind of stress, and it's not a cool tube just a regular wing, with small fan blowing at the bulb from the bottom of the box. So I thought to my self is it possible for the ballast to loose the power after some years of use.

Here's the picture of how close my tops are from the light, IMAG0474.jpgIMAG0475.jpgthe temps in the box are constant 76F with the lights on, so like winter time comes around I think I might need a little heater, I thought 400w should be enough to keep my box warm in winter time lol but that 4in fan is pulling in some freaking serious air.

yeah i ordered from attitude. this is my first time growing out the fruity chronic juice and so far im pretty impressed.

i dont think the ballast looses power but the bulbs do. could just be that your keeping the temps down enough to not butn the plants. you can get a fan speed controller and hook it up to a thermostat to help controll the temps a bit, you can also skip the fan speed controller and just hook the fan itself up to a thermostat. then have the thermostat kick the fan on when temps get too high and off when they get too low, not sure exactly how to do this but i know it can be done.

Thank you Matt, I'll have to look into that next time around. or I'll just get a small heater connect that to a thermostat. Will see how bad my temps will drop down when the real cold hits the fan. I don't think it's the bulb, I got a brand new one when I bought the light, but I got the bulb at HD for like 20 some bucks, will have to look into some better bulbs maybe.

Shit why did I thought you grew fruity chronic before...lol

My FCJ got the ittis and died. Tamping off...
dam that sucks man....i had a couple beans from my lucky 7 order do that i was so pissed off. im almost contemplating trying out some more autoflower plants but i would have to do a seperate cab for them. all i need is a new bulb for my 400w setup though and i could use that in my veg cab and my 368w CFL hood for the auto's which is already a more prominent red spectrum due to 2700k bulbs being a shit ton cheaper lol

Damn, I think there's something wrong with my bean order :|
I order the beans on fri. from SoS and I checked it today and they are already in my state, about 20 miles away from my house, but the package didn't go thru any ICS sort facilities or anything like that just straight from UK to my state, no word on any ics sort fac. in NYC or CHI.

Any thoughts guys?

Fok, I just hope is not a customs note..but the thing is that used to work around that area and if I'm not mistaken there's a little customs facility there.
But seems kinda quick, my other orders from attitude they always went thru NYC ICS and once thru CHI ICS, but this one..shit no word on any kind of ICS lol just popped up in some sort facility in Chicago suburb.

Just hoping for the best, but I'm ready for the worst lol.
