First Grow!

hey guys been out to get some supplies ready for my cloning in a few days i am deffo going to start a thread.

I have noticed a bit of an unhappy power plant nearing lights off . For example for most of lights on she looks as happy as a pig in sh*t,but the last few hours she has droupy leaves i mean real hanging down towards the top of the plant,now i know for a fact that this isn't overwatering could this be under watering you think ? maybe more nutes or even needs a transplant ?? she had 3 pints of ph'd water to 6.5 y/day and the pot is just as light today as it was y/day before watering,think i have one thirsty girl well two cos the other PP is the same but without the droupy leaves. I also wanted to do a transplant to a bigger pot before i flip them to 12/12 in a little over two weeks when would be a good time for this as they are going to need time to recover from the re-homing ;-)

Cheers in Advance VG :peace:
 
I judge when to water based on the weight of the pot .. if it feels light, I water a little. About once a week I give enough water to soak the soil and free those salted nutes.
 
this is what i have so far.

i am waiting for the clonex rooting gel to come into stock hopefully later on today or tomorrow latest.

When i repot my ladies can i use the soil in this pic as i have none of the original special mix light left :-)

That droop before lights out is quite normal. Plants have circadian clocks - they know when it's getting close to lights-out and relax. There are some nice time-lapse videos and discussion of what you are observing in one of Canna's journals. I'll see if I can find the journal and page they are on.
 
Hey VG,

PeeJay is one heck of a Grower and he has helped me out a lot! I noticed that on my plants also, but never thought too much about it. I guess the plants get tired after a hard days work. Also, I remember out in my yard after cutting grass, that some weeds that were edging on my property also dropped in the evening, but the next morning they were all growing like weeds again.

Does the soil have any time released fertilizer in it? If it does, I personally wouldn't use it. Check the back of the bag and read the ingredients then decide if you want to put your little clones in it. I have been reading up on cloning and will be watching your Step by Step process if you don't mind.

:high-five:
 
mind if you watch you say ?? you cheeky sh*it ... ha ha ha just playing mate you go for it,it's about time i helped you out anyway ha ha :-)

i know its been drouping for about a week now and it was doing my head in so thought i would ask to see if anyone knew if there was an issue :-)

one of my PP has topped it's self i noticed earlier that one of the branches has a Y shape at the end and two tops,i swear i haven't done it i have to get the ladies out tmoz for a watering so will get a pic then :-)

I'll have to check the packet of the soil mate i'm not sure it says alot lol. i spose i could use the pot full of soil i do have in the grow room as its been soaked in ph'd water for like erm 5 weeks ha ha plus i have some peat pellets so i just might use them to start the two i am going to try in soil :-)

Hows you ladies mate,filling out nicley i hope :-) :peace:

That's cool that your lil girl topped herself, she's taking care of herself for you, cause you're treating her like a Lil Lady! Again, when I need good advice, I go to PeeJay, he knows his botany and brings it down to a level that even I have no problems understanding.
 
lol guys like PeeJay are what makes this site a pleasure to come across all the time i been reading here i haven't seen any 'haters' so to speak :-) i admit i do need to read up more but there is so many things to read up on its hard to know where to start,i pick things up pretty easily,thank god ha ha ha
 
update : Pulled the ladies out this morning for a feed, the power plant i intend on taking clones from had 3.5 pints of straight ph'd water,the other PP had 3.5 pints of nuted water at 3ml per l,and the mazar had 2 pints of nuted water and a pint of straight ph'd,no real change in the ladies took a few pics.
