First time grower, Bloombox, what do you experts think?

[BubbaDank]

dnt know much bout HYDRO but it does look alot like light burn

otherwise plants look great


keep up the great work

It looks like heat stress I'm sorry I use my Cfl's for vegging and don't even move the light until they grow into it. I use several 65w LOA Cfl with no problems do you have a fan blowing in your veg area? Again sorry I always have a fan blowing to move the plant's for thicker stems.

What's the ph of the solution you use to water her? Since she is in soil, the ph of the solution should be around 6.5.

I actually sold the box. I didn't like the height restrictions. Lol! I just wanna grow some monsters. ;-)

Cigo, Nycal, Bubba & Pan, thanks to you all for confirming my suspicion and I feel great that I ended up doing the right thing. I moved mama about a foot away from the light last night and that seems just about right. No more burn and mama seems to have grown a bit, yeah baby!

Pan, trust me when I say I appreciate your advice and as evidenced by your success, I trust it without a doubt. It is all good bro!

Ms. Fox, the ph I used to water her is at 5.6, the same as the hydro. Next time I water though, it will be around 6.5 and thank you for the advice as well! +rep to you for teaching me something new today!

I have a feeling I'm not gonna like the height restrictions either, but stealth is a priority for me at this point. Something tells me I'm gonna get good at bending these girls every which way!

to all once again!

Actually Ms. Fox, mama is not growing in soil. She is growing in Coco Coir. I think it's like coconut shavings. Do you know what the correct ph might be for that type of medium?

 

[Ms.Fox]

Thanks for the rep! I'm looking into getting your other question answered. ;-)

 

[kruizin]

No problems, no hurry!

I'm stoked. I'm changing out nutes tomorrow for the beginning of week 3 in flower. Also starting the CO2 up as well.

The seeds I got are supposed to be 100% feminized and so far I'm not seeing anything that would make me think I got otherwise. Typically how far along in the flower cycle does it become obvious you've either got a male for female?

 

[nycal hydro]

it could be just a few days to a few weeks ive read about plants showing there sex b4 they even hit flowering. you should e able to tell now throw up some pics.

Looking nice, keep on going, or growing as the case may be. your bro from Oregon.

With the coco, if you are watering like a hydro (2-3 times a day) your PH should be between 6.0-6.5. If you are watering it like soil (2-3 days) the PH should be between 6.5-6.7..... You also need to add cal/mag.

 

[Ms.Fox]

^ Thank you so much!!!

for the guidance Be IRIE & Ms. Fox, it'll be taken care of from now on.

I got new pictures comin' soon!

Ok, so here's some photos of the beginning of week three in flowering. I have also added CO2 to the mix...

Mama at about 5 weeks old.

This is what the flowering chamber is lookin' like at the beginning of week 3.

White Castle

White Widow

Things are really starting to get crowded in there, plants overlapping and such. Considering i'm growing in hydro, is it OK to trim off the fan leaves at the bottom, or even up a little more? I'd really like to turn those t5's on at the bottom of the chamber, but don't want any vegetation touching them.

Where is it exactly, I should be looking for these white hairs to confirm females? I've looked all over and haven't seen any nuts or balls so think I'm OK so far as males are concerned.

Enjoy the photos!

Any other comments or suggestions are most welcome!

 

[nycal hydro]

well i hope this helps just make sure u dont have the second picture

^female

^male

^both
b4 you go ripping the guys up just check twice and be 110% positive its a male.

 

[pan4gold49]

Looking really good kruizin.
I'm glad you got you questions answered.
Your doing great.

Thanks to nycal & Pan both!

The seeds I got were supposed to be 100% feminized. So far, I have seen nothing that would make me think otherwise. I have seen the pistils you've pointed out and nothing with nuts or balls as you might say.

I appreciate all the help I've gotten here so far! This is a great community and it's been a blast!

 

[HazeSeeker]

Looks good ... cant wait to se them mAture!

 

[nycal hydro]

your looking real good. ive had a little set back with my ph and it stunted them a little but now there moving along

 

[kruizin]

I've got some photos that I took tonight after the light went out in the flowering chamber. I'm still tryin' to figure out if these indeed are males or females. So far, I don't think I've seen anything that looks male to me. What do you all think?

Male? Female? Or can't tell?

Thanks for havin' a look!

Also, what about trimming up some of the fan leaves on these things? Yeah or neah? There are really starting to block out the light to the lower areas!
