So most of my pics are somewhat bad quality. this is the best one i could snap of the TRAINWRECK main cola i took the pic at 5 megpix. This old digi blows. Most of the others are taken with my cellphone at 2 megpix (no Flash).

Day 31 Flower

Thanks for all the kind words fellas.

Sticky, what can I say that everyone else didn't already? Looks awesome, that dresser is sick as hell! Looks like you have it dialed in pretty good, keep it up.

Buds are getting fatter! not enough change that warrents new pics.

My 3 clones and 1 seedling have been looking funny. They seem to be growing fine but i am just a little puzzled at whats going on with them.

The new growth is very yellowish at the center where the leaves come together and then it slightly fades back to darker green. I am wondering if it is a diff of some sort.

Attached an image to explain what i mean

Any thoughts????

Excerpt from Mynamestitch's thread on sick plant identification:

Iron (Fe) Micro Nutrient and an Immobile element


Iron is an important component of the plants enzyme and is also important for the transportation of electrons while photosynthesis is happening...


Iron reacts with many of the components of nutrient solutions, which will cause a nutrient lockup to occur, If you add to much Iron without adding enough Phosphorus, you can contribute to a phosphorus deficiency , so watch out how much iron and phosphorus your nutrients have. The Leaves on the plant can turn a pale yellow along the growing shoots, while the veins remain dark green. When you have pH imbalance, it can make iron insoluble. The tissue between the veins becomes pale or white, kind of mimics the magnesium deficiency, but not yellow, iron has the white where the yellow would be on the magnesium deficiency. The deficiency starts with the lower and middle leaves, while the new leaves become completely lacking in chlorophyll, but with little or no necrotic spots. The chlorotic mottling on new leaves starts first near the bases of the leaflets, so the middle of the leaf appears to have a yellow mark. Iron is difficult for plants to absorb and moves really slowly in the plant.
Harder for outdoor plants to absorb when in hot weather. Parts affected by the Iron Deficiency are: Young leaves and Petioles.

To much Iron can cause a problem that looks like a PH imbalance, Brown spotting on the top leaves, mainly fan leaves. Can affect the whole plant. Iron Toxicity is rare for Ph below 5.5.



Problems with Iron being locked out by PH troubles
Over watering, pests nematodes, not enough drainage, like not enough perlite. High ph, Soils with low iron, High Phosphorus, Excess Zinc, manganese or copper.



Soil

Iron gets locked out of soil growing at ph levels of 2.0-3.5
Iron is absorbed best in soil at a ph level of 4.0-6.5 (Wouldn’t recommend having a soil ph of over 7.0 in soil) anything out of the ranges listed will contribute to an Iron Deficiency.



Hydro and Soil less Mediums

Iron gets locked out of Hydro and Soil less Mediums at ph levels of 2.0-3.5
Iron is absorbed best in Hydro and Soil less Mediums at ph levels of 4.0- 6.0 (Wouldn’t recommend having a ph over 6.5 in hydro and soil less mediums.) Best range for hydro and soil less mediums is 5.0 to 6.0. Anything out of the ranges listed will contribute to an iron deficiency.




Solution to fixing a Iron deficiency
Any Chemical/Organic nutrients that have potassium in them will fix a Iron deficiency. (Only mixing at ½ strength when using chemical nutrients, or it will cause nutrient burn!) Foliar feed with chemical fertilizer containing Fe or rusty water can work well. Other supplements that have Iron in them are: Iron chelates, Ferric oxide, Ferrous oxide, Ferrous sulfate, all of these are fast absorption. Greensand, Cottonseed Meal is slow absorption, Garden Manure, which is medium absorption. Manure is most common organic iron source to use.


Now if you added to much chemical nutrients and or organics,( which is hard to burn your plants when using organics) You need to Flush the soil with plain water. You need to use 2 times as much water as the size of the pot, for example: If you have a 5 gallon pot and need to flush it, you need to use 10 gallons of water to rinse out the soil good enough to get rid of excessive nutrients.

Thanks agent!

my ferts (shultz) have .10% (Fe)
1/4 teaspoon per gal it recomends (houseplants)
fert 1. 10-54-10 orchid food
fert 2. 19-31-17 bloom plus

I was adding 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per fert for 2L water
they have all the micro nutes
Its not being burned is it?

Lookin' good. When I'm able to grow, I've gotta try something like this.

 

[stickyickyicky]

Thanks! The poop smell is actually fading into a more lemony flavor.

I cut and dried a small lower bud on the 39th day. let my brother try it yesterday (5days dried), he had been smokin some purplely shit all week. After he hit just a little bowl pack of it he sends me a text.... "MY body and face are going numb, i fell like i want to run wind sprints up and down the street!" next message " 1 word.... holyshit!"

So i know my crop is defiantly going to be worth it!

HAPPY EASTER_sticky

 

[stickyickyicky]

cut at day 47 dried for almost a full week. 16grams off the 3 top girl in the kitty litter bucket. the 16 grams was a disappointment but every one loves it. ill make my $ back for the construction costs when all said and done.

1 bubble dust from seed im pulling next week (very small) 3 TW clones will be pulled in 2 weeks and a bubbledust from seed a week after that.

now that i am familar with this type i shouldnt have any probs going up in scale a lil bit maybe running the prenup once i get settled into my new place.

I really like the design of that dresser, great job! especially with the airflow.. I think I might try something like it with my cabinet eventually.

 

[TexMex McDirt]

Love the dresser setup Sticky. Some good CFL growing there!

nice plants stickyickyicky

 

[SpadesThaDon]

I actually thought of using a dresser....probably wouldnt have been as impressive as yours, but tha only dresser i had my Pop-Pop built with his bare hands, I cant do that to that dresser, lol.....But THAT is a NICE set-up... and a BEAUTIFUL plant.

 

[stickyickyicky]

just wanted to show some updated i made to the dresser. only one side is lit now and the other is strictly for ventilation. the air comes from underneath and flows thru the wall. via 3 - 4" ducts. i just spray painted the ventilation side plastic where the lights were housed with black paint to keep out any light from heating up that side. air still flows across the lights. ive been only running one side of the lights at a time because i dont really need that much light during veg. even though my room is in the basement where it is cool most times when both sets of lights are running you can defiantly feel a change in the room temp.

Awesome design, man, I really like it. How many watts is that?
