You know whats funny? I tryed to order seeds through the internet and nobody would ship to the US, If you guys know something I dont please do tell, I would love to have cut the time in half.The progress these are making over night is amazing but I think I have Sativa here, so It will take its sweet ole time, But you know what they say, Good things come to those who wait!This stuff is looking unreal, my cam does no justice for them,Also I got word from my cousin that One of my plants is now a proud mommy, The clones I gave him are rooting.. Hes more impatient than I am so I cant wait to see when he realizes that its gonna be a few months lol..I will keep you all posted, And yes To think I was gonna scrap the whole project! Not in a million years now!
 
I definatley will now that you mentioned it! I see the auto's in there too, but I was told autos can be a pain in the ass? Is that right? I would think otherwise. plus 40 days would be lovely to yield! I woke up this morning and now the buds on the lower colas are reaching up to the other ones up higher, I see them forming into one big bud, I thought they were going to be little buds like a cluster but I was wrong, Learn something new everyday! I could sit and stare into them plants all day, And I mean that! Dont know why Im so fixated!

:thanks: :passitleft:

Darn those look GOOD dude..

Best I can tell you is go look at the photo gallery, and get an idea for yourself what the strains look like. The Indica has broad overlapping leaves compared to thin long leaves on the Sativa. Most of what you look at is a hybrid and will display combination's there of... so it is really hard to identify a plant straight up. But we can tell if it is leaning one way or the other as far as leaves go. You will notice the sativa also tend to have a much longer flower period, so with out knowing what you have it may be a long ride. I have raised bag seed from 8 weeks to 14 weeks in flower. Just no way to know without a known strains history. Things are still dependent on the grower and environment as well.

I have decided that I have 2 Sativas and 2 Indica, both the traits are correct on each plant, Looks like I will have 2 plants earlier than the other which is not a bad thing! I found a litte chart on google search, very helpful

I am at 7.5 ph soil wise, I flushed a week or so ago and dont want to do it again, Im about 3.5 weeks into flower Im using 7 drops of shultz feed 10-15-10 every quart and fed them last week, should I just go with the flow? I have a few lower fan leaves yellowing and on a couple plants it looks like a bit of browning spots here and there,I know the yellowing could be just old fan leaves falling off as flowering goes and a possible N problem but the feed should supply it with the N its needs? so I was putting the yellowing and browing in association to the high PH as well what do you think. sorry if i was a bit all over the place!

Yea you want to shoot for a 6.5-6.8 range in soil brotha.

you are having nute lockout with your soil being so high,

SNS gives out free samples as well, you should hit them up and see what good with that. I have already proven that the SM control works, at least on killing all the living ones, the eggs turn into black little dots after I spray them, not sure if that means that the eggs died as well?

:peacetwo:
 
ok so should I flush them again, because when I did that my ph was at 6 to 6.5 or so

Im just afraid flushing 10 days ago and doing it again will hurt them, if you say to flush now I will. And after flushing how do I maintain the PH to stay , is it what you told me with the SM, I dont have time to get a sample I need to act fast Im budding over here and dont wanna screw it up!
 
the best thing to do with tap water is to fill up some jugs and let it sit for at least 24 hours, doing this allows the chlorine to evap making it safer and better for the plants, i leave my water standing till the next time i water, so i fill them up and let them sit tll i water then fill them up and let them sit till i next water, this also raises the water temp to room temp meaning it wont shock the plants, id try and do what ilove420mag said and dont water for a few days keep checking the wight of the pot and water when it feels light, i good thing to do would be to fill up the same size pot with compost and then compare the dry weight with no plant to the pots with the plants in then you will know when it needs watering, when the top 2 inches of soil are bone fry then thats the best time to water, the roots need oxygen as well as water so keeping the roots wet stops the plant taking up the nutes and causes root rot, so id fill up some jugs or a bucket with water and let it sit till the next time you water the plants, this will make the water safer for the plants and should balance out the ph in the tap water, the water company puts chemicals in the water to make it safe to drink so letting it sit for a couple of days lets the chlorine and anything else to evap, but then this water has been sitting and has lost its oxygen content so either place a air pump stone in the bucket to replace the oxygen or pour the water into a pop bottle and give it a good shake to introduce oxygen back into the water.

so dont flush again leave it for a couple of days and see what happens, plants grown in soil are less affected by nute problems compared to hydro so you should be ok, just give the plants and roots time to recover, so let the pots dry out and the plants will benefit, the roots need oxygen as well so having the roots wet all the time dont help the plant,

just keep an eye on it, you will know if your plants are thirst as the leaves will droop and look limp so if you notice them signs then water till you have a small amount of run off and stop watering, also with the nutes add them every 2 or 3 times you water the plants and not every time you water, using nutes that much causes salts to stop the roots taking any nutes and this affects the plants, someone else may be able to cover this a bit better as i am no expert and dont have the experience, most of my info is stuff ive learned over my time on this site, hope its been some help to you

just a question cause i dont really have to worry about the chlorine but
wouldnt you have to leave the cap or the bucket open to let it evaporate>?
