Unknown strain shows leaf discolouration

[tankfly]

:howdy:You may want to check your runoff after you water your plants to see what the runoff ph is. If you are using 6.5 in, but getting a lower ph coming out, then you may have to actually increase your ph.......gradually, too fast can stress your plant, to bring the soil to an actual 6.5 ph.
Muddy is the expert on that, and I have to say I still have difficulty maintaining a proper ph for my plants, but hopefully practice will make it easier.

I'll search Muddy's posts for info on pH.

While I know nothing about led lights, yet I wonder if you may have yours too high?
I am using a 400 watt hps and it's about maybe 9 inches above my plant.
Once again, Muddy is very knowledgeable about led lights also.
So, these are unknown seeds? No idea of what strain they are? I have no idea if Ireland has the crappy street weed we have here in the states, but hopefully you'll have something worth all the work and stress.........:smokebuds:

Ah sure it's not so stressful, after all, I view it as me freeing myself of the shackles of the dealer and becoming self-sufficient.
I made the decision to get the 240w Blackstar (and take this grow seriously) after my source took it upon himself to stroll away with my 80 Euros, never to return-that was the last straw.

As to the LED distance from the plants, there is method to my madness, I reckon I get a better light distribution over the foliage through refraction off the foil walls; essentially the higher the LED is from the plant the more oblique will be the refracted light when it reaches the plant. I'm not explaining it very well, but so far there are evenly distributed clusters of pistils forming throughout the plant.

Well, I heard nothing but good about your Blackstar,:thumbs: so I'm sure it will give you the light you need to complete your grow.
I certainly understand how frustrating and angry getting ripped off is, and also having to settle for crappy seedy weed. At my age I've dealt with it all. But what really got me was that my sources were dwindling as I got older. It is just too hard to find anymore when you are 30 years older. :cry:
I didn't realize how easy it is to gain both knowlege and quality seeds until I started browsing my computer. I'm still basically a novice myself, but I'm learning fast, met some good people:buds: and am smoking better pot!
And I feel much safer not having to go out and look.:booya:

It certainly does. I'll cease my previous watering regimen completely and start watering from the top, thank you

gladly...

on the matter of light distance... dont g too close cuz you'll burn em... but:



and heres a good light comparison link;

So far so good buddy, lenses are five by five, internal fans all running smoothly. The cree lenses are very bright and have had a definite effect on the girls.

It srsly sucks donkey balls dude but hopefully if I get a groove going and a sustainable crop I'll never have to waste my money on the African bush grass again.

At my age I've dealt with it all. But what really got me was that my sources were dwindling as I got older. It is just too hard to find anymore when you are 30 years older. :cry:

I know right?! I had always imagined that as I got older a resolution to the issue of supply and demand would coalesce but of course it never did.
It had dawned on me that the most rational solution to the problem was to grow when I was in my 20s but I never committed until that last rip-off.

Awesome buddy good on ya, there but for the grace of god go I.
