the leaves on the ak47 1 or 2 are starting to curl inwards slightly i am useing all mix bio bizz and added some superthrive each watering ? do i use superthrive along with watering sorry for sounded silly but im an absolute beginner on a budget i havnt added anything else any help plz peeps, autoflower.net is cool thanks for the previous help .muddy,and dw1 any1 feel free 2 add ur to pence in as i need all the advice i can get , actually i started a grow b4 they only juss popped when the po po was at my door and dound them dam was i pissed or wat but im determined to get on with my growing as i have been smoking skunk for over a decade so i wana do my own fing, any help would be great .:howdy:
 
alright chap, im prob's not the right person to ask about your leaf curling or if it's ok to be using superthrive at this stage either but i would stop feeding straight away just until you get the right advice m8. your baby's are very younge and you really don't want to hurt them in any way. i read that it's better to under feed than to over feed because if your plant is hungry then you can learn to pick up on that and quickly fix the problem by feeding but if you over feed and burn or stunt your plant then it's gonna be a lot harder job to fix. if you need to feed them then go real easy, like quarter strenth at most.
i'm also using biobizz allmix with half of my plants and didn't feed them till around day 20ish when they started showing pistils m8. started them on a mill veg and a mil root stimulator and they just went off from there. hope that helps a wee bit man, as i've said this is all well new to me to, only my second attempt as well chap.
 
sorry pal, can you tell me how far your light is from tops of your plants? if they're to close can corse leaves to curl in, and the fan pointing straight at them can make them dry out as well.
 
thanks mate im gunna stop the superthrive for now but i thaught it strenghts and helps root growth but to be safe i will avoid,aslo im useing normal tap water no ph just straght in the pot is that a bad thing?,and as for the light im not excact with how far gonna mesure and get back 2 u
on that. I think i will wait a week for the a,k because its a 12 days older than the rest, i will keep an little update on them because i might need some more adcice thanks dw1
 
i think im gunna add another fan i have a small air outake fan and 1 normal so its time to get another i think and mabe thier could be some more air flow goin on it. As its a cupboard and the 400 hps seems to give alot of heat
 
and also im doing 20/4 and it seems to be takeing alot of electric or i could be juss a little paro on that, lol ,but yeh is it ok to bring it down 20 18/6 and would it affect my yelid?
 
Raise you light back up a few inches. Sometimes it takes a little trial and error to find the right height.

If you're using straight tap water there's a good chance that the pH is off. A good electronic pH meter is a must have. You should let your tap water stand in an open container for 24 hours before using it on your plants. That will give it a chance for any chlorine to evaporate. Chlorine isn't good for the plants. Then you should check it's pH, add your nutrient and check it again. Nutrients usually lower the pH and you may need some pH up to adjust it back to the proper level. When you feed it should be in the 6.3 - 6.5 range. Give enough water so about 10% runs out the bottom of the pot. Capture that run off and test it as well. It should read close to what you started at. If not, then you soil pH is off and may require adjusting. Most problems that new growers run into are usually pH related.
 
thanks pal, they seem to be ok juss seen sum little brown spot on the top middle part where all thee veins start from? But stem seems to be getting thicker so thats good,
