New Grower My very first indoor grow....

[tonic]

Ill watch I have a set up like you but my pots are different in size and style so im interested to see if you like the smart pots. i have the blackstar you are using with a few UFOS on the side. Your gonna love the blackstar!

Ya, I'm not sure if a couple of CFL's would assist with my lower temp issues or not. What do you think?

 

[RollerofDoobs]

A few CFL's would most likely increase your temps a few degrees. I would probably add a little pH up to get my nutes to about 7.0 and use that to raise the pH of my medium to the desired level, but as you know I am a new grower, so this may not be the best way to go about it lol. Looking nice and starting to really form some decent bud! I am hitting mine with 1/2 tsp grow big and a 1/2 tsp big bloom and it burnt them a touch, so I had to back off. So that yellowing could be nute burn, but I am definately not a plant doc. Doesn't look like it's slowing bud formation much though :thumbs:

Ya, I have a PM in to Muddy and Joe Dirt. I am no grower yet either.. But, I'm trying! :thumbs:

Your asking the wrong person. I have to grow exclusively LED due to my lupus. My "flares" are triggered by UA and UB rays. My body cant handle UVB (280-320nm) or that portion of UVA that has the same biological effects as UVB thats called UVA2 (320-340nm). The blackstar actually have an ultraviolet nm of 380 that is very benefical to me and is used in some phototherpy practices for lupus. So standing under them actually helps me lol.
Having said that my room stays around 85 degrees on average with the blackstar and 4 UFOs. I run it 24/0 though. I dont want them stretching alot since its harder for me to manver them around if they get to big. So far ive had great results, I wish i could do pictures but its not legal here. So i wont brag about it to much until it gets legal.

 

[Mellow Yellow]

It's not legal here either. I am just tired of suffering from pain & depression. I do not like prescription drugs... I'm just trying to help myself a little.

By the way tonic, How's your ASS?????

That is very interesting tonic. I have never considered the effects of different grow lights on people suffering from lupus. If I spend a while viewing my plants under my blackstar, and then enter a room with normal lighting I get nausea. But I dont have any known medical conditions so I just chalked it up to my eyes adjusting to the different nm of light.

Could this be a Phosphurus issue? I am looking and trying to diagnose it off the pics in the new growers area for "Diagnosing plants issues" i think anyway.

 

[Joe Dirt]

Could this be a Phosphurus issue?

That is exactly what it looks like. But, from what I can tell from the pics, it's only occurring on your oldest fan leaves which is pretty normal, in my experience. Your pH is a little bit low, but just barely. You might start using water that is buffered to the high side (6.6-6.8, maybe as high as 7.0, but I'd stay below that... I get nervous outside that range). Honestly, I wouldn't do anything, but my plants are not going to be featured in High Times any time soon.

Muddy may suggest something more aggressive. If he does, I would listen to him.

Ok brother thanks!
