New Grower The story so far.

[slitherly]

Hi Firstmass, thought i'd check out your thread after you visited mine, and I think you are too hard on yourself. Man, all this is just going to make us better in the future. And, I think your plants look very promising. I have found that every little piece of advice given here on this web site is like gold. Can't wait to see the finished product.

My forest.

Well hello again people and thanks for stopping buy,

Wasn't sure I'd ever get this far but things are going ok, still suffering form a little heat stress, Robwars has advised a cooled hood (thanks again), however think I'm going to persevere and save my pennies for some disco lights, I have a couple of questions on the subject I'll ask in a bit.

So here's things as they stand.

Tent.

Ok so now a couple of questions for you AFN experts:

1. Looking at my least developed and most developed how long roughly have I got to go?

2. There are some purple lines on one of my stems, could this be down to temp?

I have enjoyed this so much I'm already planning my next, in fact my Think Different seeds arrived last week :booya:. As I mentioned earlier I have decided to go LED and although I've done a bit of research the light I realy want is a blackstar chrome 720 2013 model, however these dont seem to exist in the UK so I thought maybe 2x Lighthouse 500w Blackstar LED Grow Light Ultra Violet which are available from uk grow lights. Any other suggestions on type of light or suppliers would be great (my tent is 1.5m x 1.5m).

Many Thanks

Dude 2 of these would be awesome in your grow room http://grownorthern.com/index.php?p...category_id=1&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=75 you get a 3 year warranty and it's a UK company,I'm doing a diary using there lights at the mo. As for the purple I would say genetics,temp or a deficiency maybe??

Help

This plant looks a little different to my others, the grow cycle seems to be much longer and the leaves are much thinner, also some of them have turned bright yellow at the tips, where have I gone wrong??

Thanks

Looks lovely to me dude, maybe a different phenotype if it's different to others of the same strain. The yellow tips are most likely nutrient burn just back off the feed a touch and she will be fine.

Nice one thanks Mr TaNg.

Yup, sativa leaning plants are a little more nute sensitive in my experience. Also, what temps are you running at, that leaf curling might be heat stress.

 

[TaNg]

Didn't spot that was to busy lookin at his toes lol I'm surprised Mr Piggy didn't see the litte piggies

 

[Firstmass]

Hey J TaNg back off the webbed toes, my mum says that's what makes me special.

Thanks Mr Piggy, I've just watered down my nute tank to 1000 ppm, my room temp is generally around 75-80deg, when we had the hot spell it went up to around 85 max but I've struggled with the curling since about week 4??

55 Days In

After a little nute burn last week I have reduced my ppm to 800 and the problem has stopped, I have also stopped with all growth nutes now as I appear to have a small forest in the tent!

Here's a few pics, sorry there not the best and in no order.

I got a little snap happy (The little one in the tent is my LR # 2)

Oh and holy crap my house stinks now!!!

Some of the lower fan leaves have started to droop almost like a lack of water is this normal?

Still got heat stress but just going to have to live with it, cant get my light any further away and I'm not going to buy a air cooled reflector as my next grow will be with LED's.

As always any help is greatly appreciated, and many thanks if your one of the kind people who have already helped out :buds:
