hi guys...

hope you all hgad a lovely christmas day, i know i did.. got my red cfl and switched my light 0ver to 20/24.. also going onto full grow nutes for the week..

I HAD A LITTLE PROBLEM...

so during my first 4 hours of light the plant experianced something i have never seen before in my life, guttation.. there seems to be absolutely nothing on this topic in the afn forum so im gonna start a new thread about it.
from what i have been reading on the net, it is not a serious problem(actually looked amazing, tiny little droplets on every edge of every leaf). i just need to find a way to prevent it?? iv red that its to do with high root pressure(which i have dwc).
any help to stop this would be apreciated..

ill update pics in a day or so.. she is looking soooo good..

peaceout my homies...

day 17 pic update..

ok guys here is day 17 pics.. the maxi is growing strong and now seems to be shooting upwards in height. im now starting to think about lst or scrog on the plant?? iv never done or dont know if there is still time too?
any ideas if i should or not? ec is still at 0.8, ph 5.8- 6.. it still looks like im feeding a bit strong by looking at leaf tips, but im not sure if its the guttation fluid causing this, the plant seems extremally healthy otherwise. since the plant has revealed its sex im starting to get the faintest smell of green from the cupboard. im going to make myself a filter out of some activated carbon, any opinions on this stuff? does it work??

cheers for all your help AFN'ers, enjoy the pics..

peace..

Looking good, p.l.u.r! I would recommend getting a proper carbon filter if you can. Lots of people including myself have messed around with the homegrown solutions, and they never seem to work as well. A small filter can be had for around $50, and the security is well worth it IMO.

Cheers Andy,

Just as things get good they get bad..
had to move my baby.. Things got bad here, its still going but in a new home(just not mine!!) its actually back with the other two and soaking up some extra hps.. Just been a bloody nuicense, someone in family getting arrested, phone was searched for info that they didnt need to be seeing!! Ill keep pics updated as much as possible.. Mates allready talking of filter cuz its really starting to stink now, he aint shy of buyin a few bits..
Its my first auto and im really amazed by the speed of growth, I seemed to have sexed my maxi fast, most reviews iv looked at say 30days!! Could this mean this will have more bud? Or less maybe?? Do autos ever show sex then not bud, or is it straight into budding??
Sorry bout all the questions mate, been a shit day and weed talk does a good job of chillin me out..

peace..

Sorry to hear about your troubles - sending good vibes your way. If you've got a girl she'll flower, so don't worry about that. Autos will show sex early on but will keep vegging with new fan leaves and vertical growth while the bud sites are forming. Once they stop growing taller around 4-6 weeks, it'll be full flower the rest of the way. If your mate keeps her well taken care of you'll be harvesting some bud in no time.

Sweet as, good vibes are definitely needed at the min.. Apparently they didnt get nothing off phone, but im not risking it yet.. I only wanna grow myself some Percy lol.. Shes defo a female, just cant trust mate to grow it, hes a complete newbie, now tryin to run 2 systems!!
im now nearly on week 3, and its now stretching loads and really pushing out the fan leaves, if t keeps growing how it is this thing is going to be monstrous. Friends arnt doing nowhere near as good, look no better than my day 4!! We thought we overfed so we flushed for two days, they have picked up now slowly introducing.some nutes to em.
Now seeing a dwc and drip feed system I would choose dwc any day, u have more precise control in a dwc, if something needs adjusting u can do it within 30mins.. Drip feeders take over a day to properly re-adjust an levels. The only downside with dwc I can see is bubbler noise and the unlucky event of a powercut..

Ill update pics in a few days, if all is still good..

Peaceout ..

Seems new year has brought me a new plant, this thing has grown 4 inches in a day!!! Pics are comin..
iv now moved it back home as freind doesnt want to mess it up, im kinda pleased to have it back. it is now growing a good 2-4 inches every 20 hours, meaning im having to move my light twice a day to get the most from it. ec is now on 0.9, ph was on 5.8 but keeps dropping down insted of rising?? im not sure why??
im gonna try and get myself a res pump this week so i can start training the maxi to the cupboard, rdwc is definatly the way forward.
anyways guys hope you enjoy day 22, week 3!!


Peace..
