Bog- I'm still working on screwing up some of your lovely Blue Moon Rocks. Got a couple questions:

1. Some of the leaves turned yellow. I thought this might be due to too much Nitro. so I started flushing. This hasn't seem to help. The reason I thought there might be too much nitro is I used a soil mix rich in manure that I made myself (no not the manure, the mix LOL). Now I don't know if it that there's too much or not enough. Any thoughts on how to determine what the problem is?

2. Earlier you advised me to keep my grow room at 45% Hum. or bellow. Where I live the ambient Hum. runs in the upper 80's How exactly do I get the Hum. down?

3. I'm running one 1000w HPS light in a 10X12 room. I'm keeping the light about a foot above the plants right now. Do I need more lights for the room? Should the light be farther away? Should I be using a different type of light for the Veg stage?

highlife4me · 07-10-2004, 10:14 AM

Are you using the whole room for growing? I always figure 1000W is good for about a 5*5 space, and that's about 1/5th of the space you have now. In a 10*12 grow I would try to have AT LEAST 4000W, but that's all up to you. As far as the yellowing, do you have any pics? And about how big are the plants and the pots they are in? (yellow could be because of ph lock, and they actually aren't getting any N, but since you flushed and that didn't work I was thinking possible root bound, but I don't know). Good luck man

Here's some photo's of the yellowing I'm speaking of. The plants are all in either gallon or half gallon pots. About 2 1/2 weeks old.

If it's continuing to yellow then I'd go ahead and transplant, it's probably not rootbound (doesn't seem big enough to rootbound those pots), but fresh soil will at least give you a fresh start (works for me at least). If you can, you should test the pH of the soil. The proper pH range for growing weed in soil is 6.3-6.8, keeping it as close to 6.5 as possible.

1000 watts needs to be a little more than a foot above your plants i would think, might be bleaching the leaves just a thought
peace burn a hippie oops i mean a fatty

let'em dry out.

with your high humidity, you might need to use less perlite in soil so soil will dry faster and you can water every 2-3 days and increase ventilation to help reduce or counter the high humidity. maybe more holes in pots, too.

also make sure the ph of your water is ok.

blood meal really brings the dark green leaves also.

Hey chuck, just as a heads up for better troubleshooting in the future, if you look at the yellowing in the pictures it is going on in the older growth lower on the plant; bleaching would occur on the top of the plant (the part closest to the light). Peace.

Hey Highlife

That's what I thought. I have Jorge Cervantes "Indoor Marijuana Bible" And he suggust keeping the light a foot away and watching for burning on th top of the leaves.

I've added some different ferts. To different plants to attempt to trouble shoot. The majority of the plants I left alone since I'm still not sure if being over fert'd is not the problem. I added Shultz to one and fish fert to another and then some blood meal to a third. So now I'll just keep a close I on them and hope they turn it around. I've ordered a PH tester should be here this next week.

Sure have been a number of small costs with this that I didn't expect. I assumed that was the room was built the light was bought and the seeds were going you were done. Seems like everytime I turn around there's another 30, 50 or even 100 bucks leaving town.

highlife4me · 07-11-2004, 06:01 PM

Ya it sure can add up, but that finished bud that you grew yourself will definitly be worth it. I find that no matter how good the smoke is that someone else got for me, my bud is ALWAYS better, it never fails. I would be happy to find bud like mine on the street, if I was out I would pay a good 50% over the norm for it. Hopefully you'll feel the same way about yours.

highlife4me · 07-11-2004, 06:03 PM

...oh by the way, what kind of pH tester are you buying? brand/price (even a link if you have one). I keep putting off buying one, even though every grow I've done I needed one on several occassions.
