Sweet! Well, let us know how they go...



As for my plants, I came back from a weekend away and the plants had developed a bit more, so I thought I'd take a few more pics.

I'm having quite a few problems with curling leaves on some of the plants now, so I might have to back off further with the nutes. It's only on the older leaves though - the newer growth is coming through much better. Interestingly, I have 5 plants from an older batch of white rhino, bought a couple of years ago - the same ones I grew last time. None of them are showing any leaf curling, so perhaps it's a genetic tendancy. I dunno.

It's well worth it from the early results. They didn't grow this quickly in the regular soil. Also, since there aren't actually any nutrients stored in the coco, you can reuse it for your next grow. You just have to get the the roots out of it after the grow, and it should be ready to go again.

About planter position - that was my first guess, so when I first noticed it I swapped a couple of the worst ones with some that weren't curling at all. Didn't seem to make much difference unfortunately.

Ah... yea great minds think alike but i just love how its like a waterless hydro set up... well not totaly... but i mean you dont have to have a big heavy ass 5 gallon bucket of water lol

Heat Stress is whats causing the the leaves to curl on the ends.

Yeah, you're probably right. There's not so much I can do though - temps are usually sub 80F, and the plants are almost 3' from the bulbs (I have heat shields too). They seem to be improving so I'll see how they are in a few days. The worst ones I've moved out from directly under the bulbs though.

almost all the strains i've grown by nirvana do the same thing...during the first like 3-4 weeks of growth the leaves will curl and twist and then it'll be fine once it matures, weird.

Yeah - the last batch I grew I had this problem with the Ice and the Super Skunk. The 5 white rhino I had then were fine, and the 5 left over from that pack are doing fine this time. Guess this new batch is a little more sensitive or something...

Hi mate, well I'm just using the Canna Coco A and B stuff, and I use just over 10ml per 4 litres of water. I've got a 4litre bottle and just splash that much in it. I've also had that leaf curling, if fact, I've got some like it upstairs right now, but I've always put this down to just the way the plants grow when under the lights initially, they always seem to grow out of it after a few weeks.

You plants do seem to be spurting on now though matey!

BTW, never heard back from LS's Mrs regarding my suggestion - hope they've got a sense of humour!

Anyways, looking good matey!
