New To Growing In an Ikea Closet

socbutter, those plants don't look too bad at all man. keep up the good work.

 

[BurmeseDragon]

Looks good and the only guess I have to offer is perhaps a bit alkaline, a soil or a spill...but I am not an expert.

Thanks @BurmeseDragon & rebo

Thanks @BurmeseDragon & rebo

their due dates are August 16 (LowRyder#2) and 19(BlueRyder). Perhaps that why they are starting to yellow? IDK

They were re pot with fresh soil just two weeks ago. So nutrients are not used up.

Tonight I installed the 6" (424cfm) fan in the DR100 and the 4" (172cfm) fan in the DR60, a lot of negative pressure in the tents.

Also installed an in line fan for the exhaust of the CoolTube.:smile: The CoolTube has a direct duct to the air conditioner with an in line fan and another in line fan on the exhaust side.:smile:


I'm exhausted, will post picture tomorrow after re potting the Northern Lights.

looking nice sb!

i wouldnt worry about the yellowing 2 weeks or so b4 the finish - you want them to be yellowing by then imo.

incidentally i think that autoflowering plants should be planted in their final pot very quickly as the roots stop growing soon after they start to flower. so either sow the seed in the big pot or repot in to the final pot a week or so after germ.

normal plants want to be repotted a few times to build root mass and then into their final pot when thrown into flower or idealy a week or so before...

you gonna be smokin some of your own soon and that will taste sweet my friend!

later

I am following your advice on re potting both autoflowering and standard plants.

The autoflowers were a test for me and I intend to germ the remaining BlueRyder seeds, but not right now.

The NL were just re potted in one gallon bags and are under the flouros. I am thinking of vegging them under the 600watt HPS or 600watt MH with the RYDERS in a week. DO you think the RYDERS care what light they finish under?

I just want to get the NLs to the stage where I can start cloning. I've gotten the cloning tray with Olivia' gel so I am eager to start ASAP. By my calculations( novice that I am) my first NL harvest will be in December ( 4 weeks veg 8 weeks flower).

I feel like a mother hen worrying about her chicks.

My LowRyder "Long Legs" has developed brown patches.

Is this normal towards maturity?

Thanks for responding

Thanks for responding

yea Im reffering to magnesium (perhaps the long legs is a cal/mag whore...)
tap water contains good amounts of calcium and magnesium.
my
RO water has that filtered out so I have to add it back in..
cal/mag by botanicare

 

[socbutter]

Watered today with RO water pH 6.4, molasses and GRAVITY.

No further browning of Long Legs just dryness to the leafs that browned with curling.
No additional browning! Anywhere!

Oh yeah, they are really fattening up! HopefullY GRAVITY will work as advertise.

 

[socbutter]

Update:

Lowryder#2 "Long Legs" The leaves that were brown had dried and curl after treatment. Trimmed said leaves.
Left a heavy sticky smelly resin on fingers. Could not remove with hot water and soap. Had to use alcohol to remove resin, but smell persists. Am loving it!

"Long Legs" is now 18" tall!
