OK peeps....lets go back to what i now works best;) as some of yas know Ive had a few probs the last few grows so Ive gone back to what works best for me....bio bizz all the way:D
so,straight to it.....
seeds
master kush x chroinc
unknown sativa (westside;) )
cluster fuck
b52 x pure power plant
lighting is 3 x 4ft flouro strip lights at 38w each(may add an envirolite by the end of next week)
cab size 3.5ft x 3.5ft x 6ft
for flower ill use a 400whps.
I'm using all bio bizz products apart from the 100%organic peat based soil i used to start them off in.
i also have 2 bubbler's (blueberry) on the go that i may update every now and again.
so as for the seeds.....i germ-ed them in a glass of water for 24 hours and then put um in the peat based soil(few seeds per pot) and then when all had sprouted i put them into their own pots with almix soil.

heres a pic of the bubblers...ive trimmed um back abit and toped all branches;) had a few probs with roots when i got um but theres plenty of new growth coming through.had um a week now and alls looking cool.
ppms are 750,Ph 5.9 and res temps at 22-25.
using abit of everything on them.just ask if yas wants to know like...i wont go on about the hydro so much as this is mainly a soil grow and i dont want to keep 2 journals on the go if you know what i mean;)

i also took 9 cuttings off the blueberry and have had them rooting for about 5 days now in 50%peat based soil and 50% al mix...im just using a plastic tub with a bit of glass taken from an shitty piccy frame(no dome so this was next best thing;) )wont be long now me thinks:)

i got some of those plastic bag/pots to try so I'm gonna whack the clones in them and in there they will stay for the whole grow.i think there about 8 ltr in size.

I've seen good results also with these bags...the good thing about them is there square:) which means no floor space is wasted and ya can cram um in...great for sog;) could get maybe fifty of those in and grow um straight up and trim off lower branches just growing top colas and yield about an oz each....
will see how they go huh.....was thinking of putting some hydroton clay pebbles in the bottom for sturdiness and to help drainage also...cant see any damage being done to the roots...just dont go playing football with um:p

If you could get that Floro right on top of them I think you could cut down on the stretch bigtime and nodes would be alot tighter but otherwise great job and looks like your on your way to a great grow.:)
StoninStanley
07-15-2006, 10:23 AM
right on, every time ive seen other people use bags they were those burlap kind and they always looked sort of unstable but the kind you have look like they actually hold their shape.
what kind of blueberry do you have going? every time i go to shop for blueberry i never know which one to get cause theres one thats dj shorts blueberry and theres one thats called original blueberry, but i dont see how original bb could be original cause i thought dj shorts was the original lol

Nice start Cranky. I'll be watching along on this one.
I'm using the same bags to flower this time around. Haven't transplanted them yet, But will within a matter of days. I feel that for the volume of the container compared to the amount of floorspace, you couldn't get a better sized pot.
I've heard that lining around the top of them with duct tape will help keep them study, and help from any ripping while lifting them.
Keep it up brother.

sorry all:o been real busy and what not and have hardly spent anytime in the grow room let alone have time to update.
basically Ive been giving them a drink when they have been desperate for it and the bubbler's have been checked once aweek if that....even let one of the bubbler's go 3 weeks before i changed it:eek: .
well the seedlings and clones all suffered nute burn from the transplant into almix and its only now their taking off again;) as for the bubblers...there doing ok considering...ppms on about 950-1000 and Ph is about 5.8-6.0.they also suffered abit of nute burn as they both went down to about 4ltr and ppms were way up like but like i say...i ain't had the time:(
well thats is for now...oh i also added the enviro to;)

yep,,,and as Ive just switched to 12/12 i reckon these girlie's are about ready to take off;)
Ive gone and thrown in a 400w hps in a jetstream air cooled hood thats not air cooled at the mo.(temps are fine at about 82 max) and as the soil plants are like 5 foot:eek: away from the hps Ive screw the 125w envirolite to the wall about 12 inch above um.this should also give the blueberry bubbler's abit of side lighting;)
ppms are about 1100 and ph has been alittle high at about 6.2-63 but thats cuzz Ive upped the dose of dudlink to 10ml which also lifts the PH.
Ive also added abit of H2o2 just for the hell of it;)

right peeps its been awhile i know but i been fighting this shit.the min i changed res last time and switched to 12/12 the prob started.yellowing all over like there locked up.ppms are same as when healthy at about 850-1000ppm and 5.8-6.0ph.
now my water had been sitting for about 1-.1.5 weeks before res changes but the last few has only been standing for like 12-24 hours and i think i have to high a chlorine content or somit.its like i can smell chlorine when i run the tap???temps in cab have been getting upto 85max but thats it...been alot higher before and never had this prob so it leads me back to my water prob.
I'm getting some bottled stuff tonight and ill try that.i cant see it being under fed or anything as the soil plants have just had their nutes doubled but the sames happening to them.
check it out...what ya think??its the same shit that happened to my last lot...

Ph wise????
i mean its the same in hydro and soil even though Ph is adjusted to suite each:( ....
anyways..ive gone and got me water and have changed one bubbler with the ppm level at 850 and Ph at 5.9.
this should hopefully sort it out if the water is to blame...cant think of anything else like:(

Got a bit of a theory on this one please bear with me,
we have a plant in veg doing quite well then we bung it into flower, it starts to flower very fast not like in nature where the day hours slowly become shorter, so it shoots up stretches and the roots are not able to deal with the rush load that hits em, so they eat their leaves which in turn affects the pH, but all this is a virtual theory though as I am trying a work around.

Hey cranky, the water you got, mineral water, is not the best to use for hydro. Try distilled water. It should have no mineral content at all.
I've had that show in my soil plants before. Ph it could be, but for mine it was brought on by over feeding. Also, a plants immune system is at its highest in veg, when you switch to flower it puts all of its energy into that and the immune system fails.

Manganese toxicity brohammer, I would say off the top of my head. Also, I dunno which nutes you are using but you should be aware that Organic Nutes are cloaked to a TDS meter.
Sounds like high Mn in your tap water prolly High Iron as well, your soilmix prolly dives the pH enough for this to really fuck them hard as in the pics above. In your hydro it's a no brainer, those pH levels are PRIMO to toxify with an OD of Mn and/or Iron. These will start locking up all kinda other stuff due to the imbalance further fugging up pH and so on, a viscious cycle bro.
My #1 suggestion is go with reverse osmosis water. #2 if ya can't do that, at least get a filter like a Brita or a PUR or something lke that, it will atleast get the ridiculous amonts of that shit outta there.
If you are using tap water amigo, don't even bother trying to go with anything organic unless your tap water is :
Not Hard
Not softened
Better bet to use synthetics and flush your ass off in the soilmix containers, and I mean bigtime like once every 8 days or so. With your hydro, if you emply even the silly Brita or PUR water filters you will be way way better off. Spring water and well water both have super high salts (Ca mostly) content and are high alkalinity which means they hold whatever pH you set really hard core strong. Mebbe try pH-downing with Apple Cider vinegar for a bit that has a kind of "magical" effect on hard salty water like that.
Good luck bro, wish I could actually be there to check them out myself to be sure about many many variables, but with my eyes and by what you say that's my .02 amigo, good luck!

Unless like gorilla said you have some old fouled nutes, it's the water; more specifically it's the salt levels and type(s) of salts in that water. When you went to bottled spring water I believe I read, or well water mebbe, that was "better" than tap (likely) however it still powered in the salts.
And I can clearly see it *IS* a salts problem by the damage, be it Mn, Mg, Ca K or whatever, it's an accumulation of salts to the point of toxification, of that much you can be sure.

as for nutes G my man....im using ionic for hydro and bio bizz for soil as well as bio bizz all mix(organic).just i cant see just the flowering nutes go bad and not the veg ones like.but still its new everything.i dont want to end up where it happens again and Ive renewed everything else but kept the old nutes..i'd kick myself for sure.

If you have a 5 gallon container broham, just go to one of those water machines in front of many stores for like 0.25 - 0.35 cents per gallon, that's killer R/O water there!
Also, if you are judging your nute levels (using organic nutes) with a TDS meter, you are way off your mark, cuz as I said above, TDS meters DO NOT read organic nutes my friend! ;)

as for nutes G my man....im using ionic for hydro and bio bizz for soil as well as bio bizz all mix(organic).just i cant see just the flowering nutes go bad and not the veg ones like.but still its new everything.i dont want to end up where it happens again and Ive renewed everything else but kept the old nutes..i'd kick myself for sure.
really weird that it's happening to both, even though you're using different nutes in soil than hydro. i can just only think of so many reasons for it happening right at 12/12.
good luck next time anyway cranky.
edit...... guess we were posting at the same time. awesome pictures cranky!

So then my BIG question is, what did you change right before all this started? Heh heh, cuz there is two things I know for sure about your stuff bro:
You know how to grow
You are having a salt related problem now (I lean towards Mn)
If all your nutes are good, and you are NOT using a TDS meter to gague organic nute levels, then bottom line bro IT'S THE WATER SOURCE! :)
ANother couple things it could be that would be rare are things like incedental contamination, like you are using WIndex or some other kind of Chem nearby them, OR you are using plastic containers (or water like well water) that have trace (bad) chems in them.
Possibly a pathogen bro, (not likely) did you bring in any clones from another location before this all started to happen? Could be fungal or bacterial, *if* this could be the problem I don't envy you yikes! This will happen occasionally when plants from an outdoor location are cloned and brought indoors, or any other things are brought indoors from a time outdoors.
Water source is both the easiest and most likely I would say amigo, but if that aint it then ya gotta consider other sources, some of which are extra sucky, like a pathogen, virus, something like that. The only reason I even mention those buggers is because of your "global" effect that is the same accross your containers and hydro. Not likely, but a possibility.
Good luck man I hate having to hunt this kinda shit down, it's usually something stupid right in front of you that you just miss.
