  1. Ppm stayed at around 625 however oh sky rocketed to 7.4.
    I'm thinking maybe I didn't give her enough time to adjust to ph? Idk
    Well I lowered her to 5.7 and I'm going to let her drift off till tonight, give her close to 24hrs and see how she's doing

  2. Last night you had adjusted it to correct ph tho right, after adjusting did you check in 5 mins or so to make sure it had stabilized? If so this is kind of common you girl is drinking some nutes more than others which will cause that oh to fluctuate and being you just flipped to flower the plant will start to uptake more than others. So don't be alarmed sounds like you found her sweet spot with no to little burning and just keep a eye of that ph if you can check it twice while lights are on you should be fine during lights off they don't drink much and ph usually holds during this time.

  3. Ppm staying the same ph rising I saw the water level also dropped. Just added phd water to raise water level. Here are some pics from last night ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1432172180.405021.jpg ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1432172191.573135.jpg ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1432172201.856653.jpg ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1432172211.641820.jpg ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1432172221.644200.jpg
     
  4. Looks good! 
     
  5. Hey guys second week of early bloom and I've noticed she's starting to create Buds one bad thing, my ph meter broke (I'm guessing it's just needs calibration (ran out))

    Sorry for the pics, my attempt with a jewelers glass lol

    But I did have the liquid drops to get it within range of 5.5 and 6.5 at least (better then nothing)
    Already purchased a new meter and calibration just in case View attachment 1782191 View attachment 1782194 View attachment 1782198
    I'm also thinking of moving everything for the bathroom she's kinda running out of space ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1432533459.647780.jpg
     
  6. If you move her, get a larger capacity tote and extra lids (if you can). 
    Your plants can stay in the current lid. Just cut a hole in the new tote lid in which you can just set the current lid right on it.
    You'll be a lot happier with the larger capacity. She'll pry eat it up too... [​IMG]
     
  7. I was thinking of just getting a larger tote. What size do u recommend?

    Around 20 gal.
     
    Edit: I'd at least go 10 gal.
     
    You don't have enough lighting to fill 20  with roots

    How much lighting do u think I need for a 5x5 tent? (How many plants also)

    Planning to get a 5x5 tent trying to get a budget for that
     
  10. I know nothing about LED's other than they are light emitting diodes.
    I use 1000w HID per 4x4 area (MH/veg HPS/flower), and flower a single plant per 4x4 area. 
     
    It really all depends on how you want to grow.
     
  11. Just moved her to the bathroom still waiting for a few things to come in

    Is the light too far from the plant

    I would think you could have it closer. I'd try around 12" away, but I've not used LEDs.
    Maybe someone else will chime in.

    Haha oh nothing like a bathroom glow/grow, like crankz said bring that light down a little closer I would shoot between 12-14" and check on her in 3 hrs make sure she's alright, she's looking good so far tho.
     
  14. Lol wasn't my intention of doin it in the bathroom but she is getting tooo big

    Was just worried about smell but my homemade little contraption seems to be working well

    Anyone knows where the smell would go out? Meaning where is the bathroom fan exiting out to? My ac vents or the roof or something ( 2 story apartment complex)
     
  15. A bathroom vent fan is typically vented to outside.

    This is true on a rare occasion somebody improperly vented them into the attic, not that likely tho especially being a apartment or condo building. The good thing is you have a badass nightlight in your bathroom haha and white widow has a very manageable smell so I can't imagine it being to much of a nuisance for you. In my early days of growing before I had my own house I did plenty of condo grows in closets, bedrooms, pantries but never bathroom since we only had one, but what I learned is if you don't have a good filter with a good inline fan, air fresheners will be your best friend. I used to put them near all the doors the plug in ones as they seemed to have a good overwhelming smell. Just make sure you don't air freshen the room your growing in, if it's too strong it will make your weed taste like it. Your girl is looking nice and healthy tho...nice work
     
  17. Hey guys quick question
    She's about 2 -3 weeks into flowering and about maybe a week tops since I moved her to the bathroom, she was getting squished in the box,
    Question. Is it too late to move branches around?
    The lower branches aren't getting much light (lights about 12" from canopy) and I don't really want to see them die
    During vegging I was slightly breaking and bending branches so she grows wider
    But still not much light getting to the bottom branches
    Here's some photos of the progress
    Tried to take as many angles as I could

    Any help is appreciated
    Trying to have as much light on the bottom branches as possible
    Don't want the top to have nice full buds and the bottom to be a bunch of small tiny ones

  18. Btw I can't seem to get the humidity lower then 55% I have a big o damprid (RV size). Lowered some but I would still like to lower it further any advise on that?
     
  19. I wouldn't try any bending/pinching at this point, but you can certainly LST by gently tying back some branches to the lid of your tote.
    Rubber coated paper clips, or lengths of insulated wire work well to hook a branch without strangling it.
     
    If you want to get serious about dropping the humidity, a proper dehumidifier is the way to go. Might find one cheap on craigslist or an estate/garage sale.

    CRANZ took ur advise. All I could say is WOW
    I did it last night after getting some supplies and incredible result after just 24 hrs


    I forgot to take pictures yesterday when I did it it was so late
    I got my hrs from midnight to noon
    And I didn't finish with everything until about 3 smh

    Specially since I also have a couple good clones in the box

    Right after I did it last night they were looking u g l y
    Looking droopy from messing with them so much. And I was being as gentle as possible


    But 24hrs late and the results are below. Soooo much better growth

    Can only imagine what it would look like if did this process during vegging




    I also added white curtains and reflector in the back ( should I use white since I have white curtain, or reflector for better lighting..? )


    Btw I got an awesome bong finnally came in
