Got PH up and down on the way

[prism1234]

After a good fertilizing... I think that the feeding helped

[Godflesh]

Lookin good!

[alounacara]

Your plants look just fine Prism, Dont worry about the lower leaves

[prism1234]

I think they will be alright. I gave a good dose of K yesterday, so I think a day or 2 they will be fine

[prism1234]

Foliar fed with some Unsulphered molasses. I read that is a good way to treat K def... I think I read that here! lol

[prism1234]

Pics... lol

[prism1234]

[Ras Asad]

[prism1234]

Here's a few more. I also added 2 85 W CFLs to the sides of the cab so I have better lighting on the sides

[Hippie3]

use a funnel to water sub-surface
or water from bottom

Dude the leaves have to breathe just like your skin does so dont suffocate them with a molasses spray
Plants breathe through their leaves. The also rid themselves of poisons through their leaves
I think you might be better off feeding them the molasses thru the root system
They look damn good so far so please dont put them in the "Prism Zone"

[Ras Asad]

agreed.

[twoguysupnorth]

molasses are suposed to be good for k and other trace elements, i m not sure that i would foliar feed it either(too sticky?), but... other foliar feedings are a quick remedy if you happen to have lockout or such a thing. when you first started having problems it wasnt only yellow lower leaves i was looking at, but they looked crisp and the patern of yellow was different between the veins. i am no pro at all though and only know what i read about things like that. when a plant got sick it took a week or so to show signs of getting better with foliar feeding. just my one exp. though.

[alounacara]

His past has been brown crisp leaves due to fiddlin to often with his grow

[prism1234]

I read on another forum that foliar feeding with molasses was a good quick way to treat the potassium Deficiency. I won't do it anymore if yall think its not helping.

lol
sorry!!

Also sounds like a great way to attract pests

[twoguysupnorth]

hehe, dont worry be happy. yeah too much messing around can cause worse problems, but once you figure out what it is then you can watch for the signs and correct it or prevent it from happening next time.

[prism1234]

Went down and looked today and they all perked up a bunch. I think the fert dose I gave em a few days ago, kicked in... I am getting really excited. I think the bigger 2 gals are pre flowering and I will get some pics up ASAP

[tobynutz]

glad to see things are going good for once haha

[prism1234]

Thanks Toby... lol

I got some pics they really are looking much better. I got a couple shots of what I presume are pre-flowers. No idea if they are male of female yet but I thought one of yall might know...

[alounacara]

It is still to early to tell

[prism1234]

Drats!

lol

[greenie]

how close is your light buddy?

[prism1234]

I have it at 25-30 inches right now. I plan on adding another 85 w CFL to the cab and lowering the HID after the newly transplanted items get used to their new home. This sound like a plan? or do I lower now?

[twoguysupnorth]

yeah, those look like new leaves coming in. the little green spikes arent pre-flowers but i forget what they are called. you will see 2 little white hairs for a female and the balls are sort of hard to miss. our 400w is about a foot more or less from the tops depending on how tall they are. it works for us but ours arent in a tent and heat hasnt really been a problem unless i forget to check and they happen to grow alot in a day or two. now i dont want to tell you that and have you burn up your plants but i think they should be closer for sure. maybe somebody else will give you an opinion. our fan is also pointed just at or above the plant tops so there isnt a heat build up.

New Pics.

I moved the HID back down to 18-20 inches and I added another 85 w CFL. I have been rotating the plants every feeding. I am going to sex soon if the yellow G-13's would green up. A couple of the G-13 are yellow as all getout. I added a lite organic sea based fertilizer and watered. I hope that fixes em!. I am hoping to sex in the next 2-3 weeks because I have too many plants and not enuff lights. lol!

[alounacara]

I cant wait to see them flowering...lookin good
