Finally a finished working box

[Z E D]

looking sweet FB, yep, keep Ur PH in check man, my PH is 7.6 when i add my nute's it go's down to 6.3 .. so check it out.
you in the UK or the us.. see that snail trail on Ur leafs that could be spider mite, look under neath the leaf for little white dots, just to be on the safe side...(THAT MOVE)

i was thinking do you have a fan in there ?,  wipe the leafs with damp cloth see if it comes off,could be a stain...

Well i have 1 4in intake and 2 4 in exhaust fans but i dont have a fan inside blowing air around. theres not really much room for one. and i just checked for snails and tried wiping the leaves as u said and its def. not either one of those. im starting to think it is just the ph. either that could the yellowing just be a lack of nitrogen because i have only used flowering nutes from the start being that i had no veg time just 12/12 from that start. if so is there any substitute for nitrogen or would i have to go buy something else? oh and im in the good old USA. peace and thanks for your input.

[fatboy2]

oh and i read alot that using mollasses during flowering really helps beef up the buds. is there anything to this? if so im headed to the store asap. peace

FB..

The whole idea of the addition of molosses is to boost carbs which help energy transfer. There are a couple of products that are available for carbohydrate supplements.

Humboldt Honey or Sugar Daddy are two that I recommend. I have personally used Sugar Daddy and am using Humboldt Honey n my next grow as it is thought to be the better product by most.

PS. The addition of carbs is beneficial throughout the whole grow and not just flowering according to many.

Thaks guys. i checked on them today and they look great. i have two more seedlings that started showing hairs very small but arnt very healthy so i moved em up into the flower box and will see what happens with them. i also did alot of trimming to realy get light into the smaller flower spots in the lower cannopy and help develope others that were more or less covered by fan leaves. all in all things are going well. i will get some mollasses asap and give it to just the smaller ones to see how much of a difference it really makes. in turn i will know if it is worth using next time. unless others have experience using mollasses and can really say its worth it. peace

[fatboy2]

ok so the two little sick seedlings arnt going to make it . but the others are welll. except i didnt get a pic  of the largest one but almost the entire plant is fading in color. not so much looking yellow just not so bright green. now i know this is supposed to happen during flowering but theres really not even bud formation yet just alot of hairs. so is this normal? or do i have to worry?  either way hairs still coming on fast especially on the second largest that   actually has buds starting to form just small ones but it should be done in a few weeks i would assume. so that will be my first home grown smoke . peace

[fatboy2]

so today was the first day i got to go see my plants in a week. the last time i saw the biggest one it was looking quite nute burned and it had lost alot of leaves. so i did my best to flush it and hoped.  well my friend continued to water. twice actually over the past week but it was too far gone.  im currently drying out the little bit i got.  looks like and 8th or so. .  but the two smaller plants have really started to fill out and im thinking ill get between a half and a quarter from each . so just taking the bad with the good. i wish my camera wasnt gone so i could show you. comments?

[Z E D]

that sucks FB, sorry for ya loss bro hope the other 2 finish for ya..


z.

[fatboy2]

yea i cut way back on nutes for the other two and no signs of burning from them so im not worried. im planning to do a 9 plant micro sog maybe scrog but i need to order some seeds. but i checkd up on ur sog ZED and wow. it looks really great and is really starting to fill out. best of hopes to ya. peace

hey fatboy2,

hey bud you should check into the auto strains or it that what your growing now? I know you only got a small
area to grow in. I think these auto would fit your situation well. didn't have time to read through all 5 pages of this topic so
i can't comment to much on your situation. last I remember you was using cfls? but maybe you can squeeze a 175watt M.H instead
and maybe get 4 little autos. Just and idea don't hate on me...lol

p.s I'll read up more on this topic soon and maybe get a better idea of the situation.

[fatboy2]

i am using 10 26 watt cfls and 2 42 watters. i prob could fit a mh in their but i dont think that light is my problem right now

[fatboy2]

ok gotta finally sum this one up. As said b4 my friend killed the larger plant that i expected at least a half oz off of. the other two yielded about an 8th each wich i thouhgt was good for thier very small size. finished about 6 in tall. althogh just got some untested crosses and a few unknowns im going to try out but i still got no camera. i will start a new grow report soon and you can see how they work out. They are supposed to be LowRyder X Bubbilicious  and Early Skunk X Amnesia Kush . so i got high hopes that the LRs autoflower. will see. peace.

[fatboy2]

Im pumped. found a friend that will let me use his 400 watt mh. although ive never used nething but cfls so i dont know if i got a blower to suck heat into the attic from a 2x4 closet if it would be enough. dont want to burn the place down so let me know.

[fatboy2]

closing this thread but not gettting the mh. but i did amp up the grow  . hopefully gonna be a good winter with LowRider. tune in. peace
