how is the mag deficiency?
if you still think you need a mag boost put 1 tbs of epsom salts in a spray bottle and mist
or water normally with it for a slightly slower response
looking forward to the new update
take care and good luck

Welcome yuyo, Glad to have you along. Thanks for the tip on Epsom salt, it's an ongoing annoyance and it's started in the seedlings also.

oops i just noticed a mistake
i meant add 1 tbs to a gallon of water and then use that to fill the spray bottle for faster action or use the gallon in your regular watering
lol a 1 gallon spray bottle would look funny no?
anyway sorry for that

Good morning y'all, Welcome. I'm glad to see everyone this fine day, I hope your day is going great for you. I transplanted Medi2 & 3 as well as LF2(clone) into 1 gallon pots. They are all doing good but the Medi seedlings are having an issue with Magnesium deficiency. Other than that they are happy. Medi1 and LF1 in flower are doing great, they are growing quite nicely. I've done some lst to Medi1 to get the canopy even. The girls in flower are getting bushier by the day. I'm continuing to work on getting a storage room cleared out to turn it into a grow room. The Panda film hasn't shipped yet so I am still on schedule to have the room ready to convert by the time supplies get delivered. Here's some photos of the flower tent and veg box.

That's it for today unless something of significance happens. Have a great day and I'll holler at you later.

Things seem to be well under control, even with the deficiencies. Is the soil the original issue, because that seems weird that all of your plants have been having the same issues? PH is good so they can take up the nutrients, but the soil may be deficient in micro nutrients? Just wondering?

Hey Tamir, They are on day 8 if you go by when I switched to 12/12 or day 3 if you go by when they started to develop flowers. LF1 hasn't started showing any flowers yet so I'll call it day 3. The lights are 2' 4 bulb T5 HO, 2 bulbs 6500k and 2 2700k and 8 26 watt 2700k CFL's. Just over 300 watts total and 13,000 and change on lms. I posted the exact numbers awhile back, not sure exactly when. Catch ya later.

They are all looking good despite the deficiencies. I agree with Chinnubie. I bet your soil is lacking the micros.

Hey Chinnubie, Very good. You get the gold star award. About a month or so into the grow I got an email from Ideal 420 Soil letting me know that they had mistakenly shipped soil that didn't have the right amount of beneficial bacteria for their standards and that in the 2 weeks they shipped the soil, I was one that had received part of that batch. They said they were sending me a new shipment at no cost what so ever. I told them no problem that I appreciated them contacting me about it and I would except the new soil and call it good. I just never repotted them when the new soil arrived. I figured I would add nutes as needed to get them to harvest and use the new soil on the next grow. So that's where I stand now. When I transplant the 7 in the veg box into 3 gallon pots, I'll use the new soil and go back to using only RO or Distilled water which is what they claim is all is needed. I really haven't added much nutrients to any of them and the soil is going to go twice as far. IMO it was worth the gamble. Next grow will be the true test of the soil. Good call my friend, see? You know more than you give yourself credit for.

Since I'll have new soil on the next flowering, I'll bet everything goes a lot smoother!
Yea I did see that somewhere. Was just double checking because I'm considering turning the second wardrobe into a flower box and will only be able to use T5's (maybe T8 if they fit) and CFL's. Wanna see how they grow under those lights since I have only used HPS for flower. Thanks bro

woow, shadowman, your healthy girls are so beautiful. great! 
have a nice holiday!
have a nice holiday!Hey Shadow , your girlys are so pretty, looking so perky and healthy despite everything. I hate it about them sending wrong soil but that shows their honesty letting you know...I would have waited until next grow to use new soil too. No sense in wasting.

I understand, I wish I was able to use a better light setup, especially in flower. One of these days I'll be able to upgrade and then I'll rock some serious bud. However, I am pleased with the results that my lighting has produced given the circumstances. Good Luck brotha and may the Dankness be with you!

It was just a guess from all of the learning I've been doing since getting this started, so yeah, I guess I'm starting to pick up a few things. Honestly I can't believe I was the one to call that, I figured CoFinest or King John would have gotten to it before me. Thanks for the compliment and the Gold Star. I am happy as hell to help any way I can.
Growers have been using floro's forever, so don't worry your buds will be gooey and tasty. IMO the HPS and LED's help them become tighter/firmer, not better in terms of overall quality. That's what I think the red spectrum does, again just my humble opinion.

Thank you so much granny, That's very kind of you. I agree, I commended them on their honesty and IMO their customer satisfaction, at least with me, get's 5 stars. Waste not want not is what I was taught and live by. Have a great 4th and weekend and "Keep The Green Side Up"
