I wonder if it's seasonal? I know this summer I've had very little time to do much of anything. I think things will get busy again once the weather cools off and people aren't out-and-about.

I've been remiss myself in making the rounds. I've been trying to keep up on about 30 threads, that can be tough. Keep up the good work. I tend to write my journals more for myself to keep on track and make sure I document what I'm doing.

But I know what you mean, a lot of the old members are gone and fewer of the new ones make a contribution to the site. But things will get better, it will just take some time and continued work by members like yourself to keep the community growing.
 
thats cool, but yea there used to be a good 5 of us that use to stick together, now them same people have ventured off and who knows what else happened to them, like Hydro and SexyKush, but yea things have really changed...

Hydro has been going through some serious personal issues. I hope he is able to overcome them and come back to the forum. Not sure about the rest. Sometimes life just gets in the way of living (if that makes any sense). I miss a bunch of the guys that used to be regulars on my last grows, but I just keep chugging ahead, because for me it's more about the process than anything else.

I also tend to view or "lurk" on the soil grows, mostly because I don't feel I know enough about it to be a contributor when issues arise. I 'll be more active though and try to provide some color-commentary instead of any real advice.

Don't forget taste and aroma brother, ph is easier to deal with, and they can be moved more easily too!
 
rite now im at a very impatient part of the grow, waitin to see where the buds are gonna pop up, man i cant wait to start seein pistils everywhere, and to see how these plants start to shape, I CANT WAIT!!!!! :) what do you guys think about me startin the flower nutes tonight, maybe at a 1/2 dose, since i've watered the last two times??? let me know what you guys think... :tokin:
 
If they arent stressed or having any type of problems. Looking healthy and green I dont see a problem in it. But as I say, i cant really say 100% because I'm not at that point yet and im a noob:)

I think you need some update shots cause i wanna see how your girls are doing :thumb:
 
well my last grow they took to a full dose with no problem and they looked real nice, so im just gonna go ahead and give it to them, and just move up from there, plus one of them looks like its in need of some nutes soo im gonna give it a go,, im also gonna go get some soil this weekend, im wonderin if i should re-transplant them again into my big red pots, i didn't do it sooner cause i didn't have enough soil, im pretty sure i could do it without really stressin them, i think in the long run it would be for the best, but i wanna see what your guys' opinion is, so let me know what you guys think??
 
Well, if you are gonna transplant i'd wait on the nutes. or at least use the transplant nutes from our recipe for success pack. after the transplant takes with no issue then i would start on flowering nutes 1/2 strength.

At least thats what i would do. :thumb:
 
Yea more pics, I am going to try and update with pics after every time you do, maybe that will keep me from being such a lazy stoner that keeps forgetting to post new pics. I don't think your half strength nutes will be any problem, as long as you don't have one already. What day are your girls on? I have some plants on day 11/12 right now and they are starting to show a few pistils, don't worry before you know it you will have to literally pull yourself away from your plants
 
so i just wanna let people know that im not the one askin for help, if i did i would most likely ask you personally in a message or come to your thread and ask you, but when i was sayin what i was sayin, i was basically talkin about a couple new people that i've been helping out because they dont really know that site like that, i've also seen these people in other peoples journals askin for help and nobody seems to come and help anybody, thats what i was referring too, not me needed help or expecting people to go through every single journal lookin to help people, but i would expect if someone came to you in your journal and asked for help to try and atleast help them somewhat, but i guess i was bothering to many people by sayin stuff like this, or joking about asking for seeds, im not that stupid to have somebody send me seeds, if i was i would of been had some, trust me people have offered and im not talkin recently either.. so i just wanted to clear that up for everybody..

Suka, I'm not a soil grower either, but with MMJ, less is definately more and baby steps are better than big leaps.

You may have seen me comment on this before, but I don't believe in trying to pump as much nutes to the plant as possible.

I've seen many grows where people proudly talk about how high they've been able to get the PPM's, and then show their plants with slightly yellowing tips so we all know they're "right on the edge".

IMHO, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink!

In other words, the plant is only gonna uptake as much nutes as the plant wants. As growers, we need to make sure these nutes are available, and preferably, at least as much as the plant wants.

The plant can do fine with a little less than she wants, or a little more than she wants. Too much less, or too much more, and the plant becomes "not as healthy". Signifiantly less or more than the plant needs, and the plant dies.

So, while the plant may still live pushing her to the edge of nute burn, I'm not convinced she will be a healthier plant than if you backed off the PPM's by 100-200 (or more!).

So, just don't let your impatience get the best of you! Raise PPM's by a little at a time and gauge how the plant reacts. If you see the slightest nute burn, I'd back off some of the PPM's.

That is kinda how my journal is right now. Although suka, you have helped me a lot. You answer my questions and help with the reassuring part as well.
I'm not all that mad about not having more suscribers because it was really just a personal thing to keep track of my progress and possibly get some help if i mess up.

Thanks for stickin up for the new members :thumb: It means a lot
