New Grower 1st Grow, Multi-strain Madness.

[BigJohnny]

Well today I switched to OT bloom for the feeding of the older girls (Day 35 I think) hopefully they'll respond well because a couple of my plants are showing signs of too much N, and the bloom nutes have less N, plus I've cut down the amount to 1.5 mil per litre.

Here's a few more pics, sorry about the small size, I resized them for another forum I'm on that has a stupidly ow upload limit.

Just a quick update to say... I have crystals, fuck yeah!:dance:

Well time for a quick update. It's day 38 for the 5 older girls, I'm really happy with the way they are going. One of the Cream Caramels has some yellowing of the bottom leaves and a couple fell off while feeding, and the Black Jacks are still clawing a bit but I'm not too worried yet. The HBD which is about 25 days has started preflowering but she's a stunted little fucker and I've been LSTing the Shot Adrenalin and the other HBD which are both about 20 days and are also confirmed female.

A few more.

How's your pH? The yellowing looks like it could be the start of a deficiency, but could also be pH lockout if your pH is off.

Hey man, not sure of the PH. It's one thing I overlooked when buying my equipment, mostly because I read a few times that the soil acts as a buffer. I'll definitely be buying a PH reader sometime in the near future but due to having literally no money at the moment, I'll have to wing it for now. On the ones that are yellowing I upped the bloom feed to 2 mil per litre so I'll have to see how that goes.

If your pH is off, feeding additional nutes won't help and in fact, could cause further problems. If nothing else, go to an aquarium store and get a pH test kit. Usually less than $20 and while not as accurate as a digital tester, will at least give you an idea what your pH is.

I haven't updated for a while because I thought it might get a bit tedious for everyone, I realise y'all aren't as excited as me...

I'm on day 51 now, things are still going well. Some of the plants are still yellowing and I've had to remove the dead leaves that fall off with a slight touch. The tent is really cramped which accounts for some of the plants looking a bit squashed and spazzy and might explain the yellowing. Feeding them 3 mil per litre of Plant Magic OT bloom and the buds are getting fatter, sticker and smellier. It smell like heaven in the tent. The Black Jacks are a lot bigger than the others and thank God I LSTed the main colas on them otherwise I wouldn't have had room (a taller tent might be required in the future). The black Jack also look really yellow in the pics but that is mostly the flash. Still no PH measurer, money is seriously tight I can't even afford 20 quid at the moment but I'll definitely invest in one for my next grow.


Here's some pics, I don't know how to label them individually so basically it goes BHD, Cream Caramel 2, Black Jack 2, Black Jack 1 and then tent shot.

Peace.

Your plants are looking real nice mate iv used biobizz all mix quite a lot,and during my first ever grow I just used un ph'd tap water for a good few weeks,I finally bought a ph tester and the run off was still bang on 6.5,the biobizz buffers and holds a stable ph very well,as your plant are showing.look forward to your harvest pics mate :smokebuds:
