Ask Us Anything: Sharing Knowledge 420 Style

I have 3 Fem white widow seedlings in 4 inch pots with 40% Fox Farm OF, 40% organic starter (peat moss, vermiculite, perlite, wetting agent), 20% organic perlite. 1 week old (above soil). I've heard that with FFOF you wait a month before giving nutes
Does that apply to my girls since the soil is diluted? If not, when? What are common signs that they are nutrient hungry?

I think the mars hydro 300w only pulls 130 true watts out wall but I'll have a look I read a thread that said the problem with leds is the baby's show light stress after a week don't know if I'd be able to tell after a day or 2 also one of my babys is light green compared the others could this be strain?

128 I believe but that's pretty accurate. . . .

 

[KingJoe83]

What would be some obvious signs of light stress? I may have to back mine off a couple of inches

If you see the leafs curl upwards on top around it yellowing like dull green look I believe as well . Where r lure light at from top of plants bud

Would one of you experienced growers kindly offer your opinion. Don't mean to insult anyone as I have posed a similar question in the past and SnarlyWeed advised getting a 30X/60X magnifier which I did. I am a first time grower of Pineapple Express Auto on day 86. Pistils more brown than white. Sugar leaves yellowing, curling and browning mostly near top of plant. Trichomes still clear as far as I can see definitely no amber. Like all first time growers just don't want to wait too long.

There's no magic bullet for bigger flowers.
Genetics, nutrients, and environment = quality & yield.
Bloom boosters only work if everything else is in synch.

Truer word were never spoken !! And environment is the most important, and the one that is most difficult to control, depending on where you live. And most people overlook the importance of keeping the environment dialed in, and I was one of those. and I don't care what anyone says, growing during the summer mos., is a very difficult task, if not impossible, without air conditioning. And you're only as good as your light, number 1 on top of every growers most important list !! And that big FREE light in the sky is still the best light !!

Light colored leaves, leaf edges curling up, if its severe they can get dark splotches and burned spots.

Of they are clear still you should let it get at least 10 -20% amber or if you want more head high harvest with some amber but at least 50 50 cloudy clear I was told . Listen to snarly man he us a smart solid dude. Straight up.. .

You're getting close, id let her go a bit longer before i start the flush. I like 10%-20% amber before i start flush. Harvest early and the high is more head oriented. Wait for amber and you get more body centered stone.

Keep going for a few more days. When in doubt cut her down but I would go longer
