If you use mycorrhizal fungi like that product contains, don't forget to use rockdust if you're in compost along with seaweed extract and mollasses soil drenches for maximum results.

An interesting product I'm interested in that's new to the scene is magnesium peroxide which, unlike hydrogen peroxide, doesn't act as a disinfectant/biocide if used correctly and will increase the growth of beneficial fungi and bacteria and encourage aerobic conditions in the medium in general or prevent waterlogging/drowning in compacted peat based media. Sorry, I went off on a bit of a tangent...

Doh! Sorry, I just assumed, considering the vast majority of people who post are from the US for whatever reason. Still, it's not surprising, I've heard Aus is quite backward when it comes to drugs, in comparison with many European countries.

lmao, you got that right, best we got to offer is weed nd meth other than that you really got to know the right people.
globes still going nicely, its on 18hrs straight now all noises etc have gone :) i currently have it about 70cm away from the family
 
They take a while to 'break in'. Take advantage of the high luminous output at the beginning. It soon drops and levels off for a long while, meaning your first grow is always your best (hence why many commercial growers replace them every grow). They're good for at least 2 grows IMO.

great, well good thing i got more than i needed last time i brought equipment :) handy.......

okay, now dont think this has been posted up yet.... making hash with bubble bags, now, extremely expensive, is there any alternative you guys can recomend?? i mean what type of material/fabric would you use to do the same purpose with??
 
SILK SCREEN printing mesh monofilament nylon mesh of various micron sizes I got mine from atlas screen supply CO. then used 4 small bucktes to make a system where you mix, filter, change screens, filter, change, filter, change, pulling out hash with the last few filters

temps went to 41 in my grow attic
 
^^^ thanks, i must looking getting my self some screens!!!

your pet looks, well... very purple :)
 
Well, Im really curious as to get a few answers to questions I've continued to ask.

1.) When I flush with 'tap water' , Do I adjust the pH of the water or just let it flow?
I'm almost POSITIVE I've mentioned multiple times how high the pH of my water comes out as. I took the advice, and flushed with my tap (which I didn't think would be a good idea with a pH of 8 )

2.) When you're telling me to simplify things, and to stop feeding them with salt based nutrients, but give me no other alternative to feed them what am I supposed to do?

3.)If the E.C. I mentioned is to high, can you recommend a PPM/EC to aim for?

I understand you guys are all trying to help me, and Im new to growing,
Im obviously here to ask questions to help fix the problems I have because I personally don't
have the answers I need to fix my plants.

I mean, telling me that Im screwing up I can take, It's just when Im being told I'm screwing up and not being given the answers to fix whats wrong pisses me off.

Still seeing the same things , the leaves are coming out green now, but still so much yellow...(The third pic is the worst of them all, but fattest bud of all, which kinda confuses me.)
Do they look okay for 1 month? they all have 1 month left, (size wise)
Do you think they will be able to recover?

Ive been doing everything I know to do to try and bring them back...
They dont look awful to me, Im wondering if the whole deficincy will make the bud a bad smoke? If I am able to bring them back to health (healthier than they are), are they going to be okay to smoke? I pinched a bud to smell it today and it got stuck to my fingers after one pinch, so, theres quite a bit of resin, probably because my plants all think they are dying, lol


-edit-
Sorry if I came off as an ass in my post before this, Im just getting frustrated at myself for not being able to do this shit properly and I just lost my insurance, so I can no longer afford my suboxone unfortunately, really starting to effect my mood, and I believe my plants are starting to suffer because Im just starting to feel like their are already fucked up might as well just rip em out and start over ...But I don't want to have wasted all that time, so Ill finish it out, just another 30 days, Are my plants going to thicken up? or does most of the bud growth occur in the first few weeks of flower?

1. Flushing with water in the correct ph range is beneficial as the plant can use up remaining nutes, really flushing is only neccesary if plants have been fed too much.

2. Keeping it simple means just using a flowering nutrient, no boosters or flowering additives, the more you add the more complex problem diganosing becomed.

3. If you continue to grow in soil then you're better off using an organic nutrient that will be broken down by the micro herd to a form the plant can uptake, using salt based nutrients kills these microscopic life forms so that is why some growers wouldn't use salt based nutes in soil, however in hydro you want the salt based nutes as everyting is immediately available to the plant thus faster growth.

With organic nutes you don't need to concern yourself with EC.

You will still get some smoke of these plants so don't kill them. sorry to hear about your suboxone script I now exactly how that feels.
 
^ prelude please follow his advice.


However, I do personally believe you don't need to adjust the pH necessarily for flushing. But we've been through this before so you know what I think about this topic.

Things could be worse Prelude. I left my NFT pump off for the whole fucking weekend and they might not survive. I'm gutted.

Thats one of the reasons I stopped NFT despite the awesome yields, you should always have a spare pump as well. A jealous friend once tried to sabotage my grow by unplugging my pump, the asshole.
 
Well it's my fault really and it should be avoidable with a bit of common sense, theoretically. But yes, next grow I actually plan to install a second delivery line halfway down, which should increase yields anyway.

They'll probably survive but they'll take a while to recover. I sprayed with seaweed extract and will take cuttings, just in case. No way am I risking loosing the money spent on seeds. They were bloody expensive.
 
Do you use the nutriculture tanks? Once the roots hit the res then its not such a problem.

One time I lifted the to tray up to check something and the top of the plant got caught in the 18" industrial fan I was using, it ripped the plant out the system and there were bits of branches flying everywhere. The whole plant came out root mat and all, stuck it back as best as I could and it kept on flowering, obviously yield was down but it still made some nice hash.

love the root mats they form in these tanks (the brown colour of roots is down to nutes staining them)

IF you mean your plants then they don't look that bad for 4 weeks into flower.

Take some pics under natural light or blue light so we can get a better idea of what they really look like.

That's twice the reply to this thread has disappeared due to computer issues!

But yes, it was a Nutriculture Grow Tank (a cracking system IMO) and the roots dangling in the res probably did keep it alive as you say.

I had a look this morning and there's been
an absolutely enormous amount of growth. It's as if the whole thing had a beneficial effect, possibly because of the roots getting more O2.

So I'm very pleased, to say the least. I'll still take cuttings in my new X Stream aerocloner for potential mums though.
 
Prelude, your plants look fine from what I can see. However, I agree, post some pics of them under natural light, so we can actually make out the true colours.
 
the yellowness of your leaves possibly suggest you have an iron or sulphur deficiency, probably caused by the fact you're using hydroponic chemicals in soil, causing nute lockouts. You could try adding some epsom salts to ur water if its sulphur, if its iron add potassium, tho you'll have to flush if its a lock out.
