New Grower is she missing something?

Can you post some pics of the affected leafs for us to have a look see at?
Hey RivalFish I bought 6 new 1600 lumen, warm light CFLs I hope that will help.
Nam, here are the pics. The only nutes I have right now are Fish Emulson 5-1-1 and Black Strap Molasses and a root stimulator.
I do have GH Grow & Bloom but I wanted to go organic this time.

Sorry it took me awhile to get back to your thread. My bad homie. As to the leafs, as any time did they touch your lights? Seems like a burn. But I could be wrong. Right now suck up as much how not to do it as possible, some of us learn better from the school of hard knocks. Don't be discouraged, just think of it as your learning for the worlds best teacher in growing autos, the plants. Chin up, you'll get it right. And when you do you'll be much better than you'd ever believe. :peace: I'm sub'ed and will be keeping a closer eye.

Thanks Dude, no problem about the delay your probably involved in more threads than I even read. I was just getting worried it was something serious and my baby would get worse. The upper leafs might have touched the lites but some lower leaves that werent near the lights are showing a tiny bit of brown at the very tip of the leaf, I'd say a quarter of a inch of browning. From what I read here http://www.420magazine.com/forums/p...abis-plant-pest-problem-solver-pictorial.html I was thinking a Sulphur or Mag deficiency?
 
She looks healthy minus those few spots, unless we're not seeing all of the spots. In one of the pics it looks like there is some leaf clawing. With a nitrogen tox you'll start to have nute lock out. I would suggest that you get a ph meter, so that you can measure pre and post water, every water. I've found for me that once I started checking at both times ive had much fewer problems with my ladies.
 
Hey, nice plant , what is your light schedule? If there is a dark period then maybe cut it our completely and go for 24 hours of light, that may stop the stretching a bit.

I'm on 12/12. There is a heat issue if I have more light time, in fact it gets up to 90 on the 12/12 schedule. I do run the lights at night (7pm-7am) because it is a little cooler outside. This is a very stealth grow in a closet 7' tall, 43" wide & 53" deep without ventilation. I do have an oscillating fan set to blow on her briefly. I also have a low humdity problem so I soak a shirt with water and have it hanging near her, seems to keep the rh up a little. Maybe part of the problem is my screwy grow room setup but its the best I can do for now. I will take a picture of my setup tonight so yall can have a laughWTF is that

I'm sorry if I missed it, but are these auto or photo?
 
Just a quick note on cfls. As there is a little but of confusion in this thread. There are a few keys to reading the labels on cfls. Observe that you will probably have a prominently displayed "equivalent wattage" which will be a higher number- an actual wattage- 13, 23 whatever. You will then also see lumens output- and you want "lots!!" Truly as much as you can without heat issues. Degrees kelvin or light temperature has to do with the color spectrum or temperature of the light. That will be a value expressed as a number followed by a k. 2700k is roughly the temperature of morning and evening light- rich in the colors that are best for flowering and fruiting. 6500k has more in common with high noon- full on daylight, And it is best for vegetative growth. Most guys seem to run a combination of the two - or run 6500k through veg and the. Swap to 2700k. For flowering. The 2700k bulbs glow little orange- and the 6500k bulbs more white or faintly blue- that harsh "Florescent light"

There are other color temperatures available- 3000k, 5500k are both common as well.




And I perhaps missed it- but has that plant sexed yet? It does have some growth habits like a male.

I will also suggest you go to the liquor store- get a couple free boxes- and make a chamber out of the just open the bottom of the one- and slide over the bottom one- so it's double tall. Now- spend 3 more dollars on flat white or flat bright white spray paint- not satin not gloss not semi- not eggshell or antique or bone- flat white, or flat bright white spray paint and paint the interior of your box. Completely. This will give you a nicely reflective chamber about 12"x 18" in foot print that will do resonably well with 4000-5000 lumens, of whichever color temp light you run. Put your oscillating fan in the box, leave it on- and grow. If you feel like that is too big a chamber to light- you can cut the boxes down.

Just cuz it's super ghetto, super low budge, super stealth doesn't mean you can't get everything you need out o it to maximize your potential...

I know- all I did was offer up about your set up- like everyone else- I want to know about ph, and how you track that- and I want to know if (she?) has sexed yet.
