New Grower Cosz First Grow

[Muddy]

LOL, saw the other one first, so I just merged the two threads.

Get me those pictures soon as you can. I'd like to see what they look like before you do your next feed in case you need to adjust.

Muddy,

Here are a couple of photos of my grow. I used the blac plastic bag to provide some color bacground as the walls are vibrant white. It seems most of the leaves that have turned yellow are the lower fan leaves. I wonder if the budding process is starting to sap the juice from them. Still a really green canopy.

No, it's too early for them to be using up the fan leaves. From what I can see it looks like a P deficiency starting. Can you move it out into natural light and take a close up of one of the effected leaves? Remind me, what was your last pH reading? Also, which of your nutes has the highest amount of P?

 

[coszumel]

Muddy,

I sure will. I am defintely starting to get more yellow that I would have thought. My PH meter is a cheapo swimming pool type it. Maybe I should grab one the electronic PH meters. As far as products are concerence I have the Sensi Grow and Bloom 2 part, Sensi Cal, Bud Candy, and that new product Massive Bloom. The plants have yet to have any of the Bloom or Massive as of yet. Any idea on what I could use to raise my P levels ?

A good pH meter is practically a must. If you've got the $ I'd suggest one like the Hanna Combo that not only tests pH but also ppm. Knowing the ppm of your water is always good plus you can use ppm to check the strength of your nutes.

That's the reason I was asking which of your nutes had the highest P, so we can figure out which to feed. I just don't have the time to go back, see what you have, then go look them up myself. I help too many people to remember the specifics about everyone's grow.

Muddy,hat 2nd paragraph above was bit surprising. Did I suggest that you should remember what products I 'm using or even worse to take your time and research? Relax my friend (c: To be honest Muddy I am still working on my vocabulary. Money is not really an issue so I could buy a more expensive meter but you assume I know what the readings mean. If it's mot too much of a hassle could you offer me a suggestion to help correct my P problem?

Sorry, didn't mean to be short with you. I've just been buzzing through all the threads here this a.m. pretty quick, trying to address everything before I have to leave in a few more minutes. All I meant was that I don't have time to look up those nutes, so please tell which has the highest P value so I can make a recommendation for you.

Don't worry, I'll help you out. PPM is part per million. The more nutrients you add to your mix, the higher it will go. It's a good way to measure how much is in your mix, to make sure it is consistent from feeding to feeding and from jug to jug if you mix them by the gallon like I do. It's not as important in soil grows but a must know in hydro. But I find it very useful and to me, it's worth a few extra dollars to get a meter that also measures the ppm.

WellI finally moved into my new house. Had to tansplant the plants with Plastic bags over them.

How did you get them to the new house? Brought back bad memories of a house move i did a wee while back, left it to 2am to head out with the plants in the car, had 12 (really stinky) plants in total all with black bin bags over the top of them of all ages. Joined the dual carraigeway and spotted a police car sitting in the lay-by at the side of the road. My heart stopped, i couldn't do anything other than keep on going past them so i kept going in panic trying to drive normally and look uninterested in them. Cars legal, nothing flash, I hadn't broke the speed limit, I had indicated off the roundabout, it's midweek, I'm white middle aged and look like yer average joe. No reason to pull me! right? The second I passed their car, see that it is a traffic officer 4x4 range rover, their headlights went on and they pulled out right behind me, you can't imagine the feeling. i almost had a brain hemorrhage right there, my vision tunneled to a tiny spot on the road and i couldn't breath. i was still accelorating up to the speed limit of 50 so i tried to keep speeding up. Then the blue lights started flashing, that kinda relaxed me a bit as i thought, well i'm fucked, it's all over now. To my utter amazement and joy they pulled out round me and sped off as fast as possible.

Needless to say i will always be timing grows so as not to be moving live plants about like that again.

I moved mine in a similar way. Lucky I am only growing autos so they were not very tall. I am in AZ which has passed Medical Marijuana legislation and I have my card. Even with all that I still moved mine at night under the cloak of darkness. I suffered a few broken branches from the baggs rubbing against one another, but thats about it.

Muddy,

No worries. NPK is how the markings read across the bottles if I am correct so Sensi Part B has a 2 as the second digit. Is that any help or am I completely off the reservation?

... i almost had a brain hemorrhage right there...

I know the feeling riz! I had a very similar experience, but all I had was a little over a gram in my pocket. But still, you never know what the lawboys'll do when they get bored.
