Are my plants OK? Some are different... Can I fertilize them?

[bengt]

Are my plants OK? Can I fertilize them? Better yet: SHOULD I? The soil ph is a mystery to me, I got some ph soil test that is color-comparison based and id DID seem to be around 6.4 to 6.7, with I guess is OK.

Pay special attention to #5. It was so weak I can´t believe it´s almost the biggest one. How beautiful it looks! #2, #3 and #4 are getting a little darker green, with a little dryer and spiky leafs. It that a bad signal or it´s just their "style"? #1 it´s so bushy that I am worried. Should n´t it be getting UP a little bit more? Or it´s ok?

I think i´m doing it right, they seem to be getting bushy and bigger every day.
The first photo is from 30/04/2008 (dd/mm/yyyy) and the other is from today (06/05/2008).

Thanks for ANY reply.

What light are you using? I used a blue fluoro tube for one of my clones and now she's a 6 inch banzai bush. But they look fine minus the uber- bushiness. Try raising your lights to get them getting taller.

I´m using 3x45W CFL lamps. They seem to be liking it!

Thanks for the reply.

all strains have diff characteristics
IMO, u have a strain that grows low, many strains do this
also, what on/off time are u using?

[bengt]

the plants are about 26 days old, and I got a timer only about a week days ago. So, they got abou 20 days of 24/0 and now are 18/6.

24/0 is fine. it doesnt make plants any bigger than 18/6.
thos color ph test strips are worthless.
try to keep your ph at 5.8 to 6.0 in soil.
dont fert until flower.
you can use nutrients but only use half the rec. dosage.
hope this helps.

Is that PH Correct 5.8 to 6.0?

you are an idiot arent you....lmao
when your plants are sick you want the ph lower than normal...when your plants are healthy then you take the ph back back to normal---7(neutral)

damn dude wtf!

then if he uses ferts, he needs to know that depending on what he uses it will raise his ph.
your internet facts are worthless... you actually think those results came from a highly promoted (funded) lab??? give me a break.

read a book that has some scholar backing and get off the net you wank.


its probably just your light set-up causing you grief tho.
