SAgrower Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 Noice!! I really like them. That's a shit load of light @40cm away You could even raise it a bit to get better coverage if you need to stick more plants under itI would have to make some sort of plan soon to raise it yes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAgrower Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 I have read through another thread regarding keeping the plants warm during winter etc.What will happen when it gets too cold? My plants are in the garage (Cape Town) at night without a heater and they still seem fine but Im not experienced at all so was just wondering as I dont really want to go through everything and then have them die when its time for flower.

SAgrower Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 The plants are showing signs on the leaves that something might be off. Any ideas or recommendations?I could only find some Margaret Roberts organic pesticide but not sure if its it which is causing the issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkunkPharm Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Do you have a fan directly in them? When last did you water? And how often do you water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAgrower Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 Do you have a fan directly in them? When last did you water? And how often do you water?No fan at all and they were watered on the 15th of June last. I have given them 3 treatments of the pesticide on consecutive days. Not 3 per day, once per day only. The water I use is rain water from my tank which is in a bucket with an air pump 24/7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few plants in a tent on my back stoep & they seem to be doing just fine. They're protected from the elements & it doesn't get cold enough in CT to kill themSent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreX Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Why are you spraying pestaside on the plants still? I thought you sprayed already? One application should be more than enough for the little things plants ... I would even spray that shiny layer off the leaves with some clean water. On little plants like this that have a small amount of leaves, I just squash all the bugs I can see and it seems good enough. I would rather avoid spraying your babies with anything while so young 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcoen Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 @CreX Agreed exposing the little ones to such intense chemicals from a young age really can be detrimental :( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of new growers mother their plants to an early grave hehe but it's all part of the learning process bud! I honestly have this emotional connection (not a weird connection) with these plants. I had my first male on my first grow and I was honestly feeling kak for cutting it down but yes, I understand what you are saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAgrower Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 Could the tank water cause these issues? Some of the leaves are brittle and breaking off. I took the cutting from the special queen 1 and placed it in tank water to try my hand at cloning but I see similar signs on those leaves but also, that part of the plant also received the Margaret Roberts insecticide so now Im not sure anymore.I want to water them but obviously not if there's a possibility that it might be the water from the tank. I have not added h202 as yet, completely forgot about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreX Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Is your tank water brown? That cutting won't make it sadly... The bacteria and shit in the water will rot the stem tip... Cloning needs sterile water or you run the risk of losing cuttings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloning needs sterile water or you run the risk of losing cuttingsNo its normal rain water from the rains we had last week so fairly fresh water. Im just going to leave them like that and hope for the best.The tomato and basil etc plants are not showing the same symptoms and they also receive the same water and I leave them outside always.The tomato etc plants also received the organic pesticide and not signs but Im almost certain it was too much spray on them whilst still so small.Thanks for all of the help thus far, appreciate it.

SAgrower Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 So my daughter fell on the special queen 1 which I started to mainline. The one side is broken off as can be seen in the last picture so where to from here? Any suggestions how to proceed with that plant?The other plants seem to grow extremely slow but probably due to it being winter, the over spraying of the insecticide etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afternoon blazer Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 @SAgrower howzit brother. Hows your grow going? And hows that LED working out for you? Any pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAgrower Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 @SAgrower howzit brother. Hows your grow going? And hows that LED working out for you? Any pics?Hi there, I actually flipped them on Saturday seeing as it's only an experimental grow. They have had a pretty hard life with my daughter trying to destroy everything she can see. Not only her but also the new puppy, that one pulled out a 4 day old black D.O.G I tried growing.I really really hope the Malawi (tallest plant) is female. I am currently trying to source everything for this year's outdoor grow but one thing is for certain, I won't grow as many plants as last year, I will rather grow 4 at a time, although I will then be growing throughout the year.The LED light works very nice I must say. Im have no knowledge of lights etc but it did the job and I think I might also buy one of those qb75 lights for next years darker months.The plants have been grown in only soil, no nutrients have been given at all. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to get a good idea how its working for our fellow growers and find out how they using it. So that i can get the most out of mine. If its not too much trouble. Would u mind walking me through how u use your light? ( light distance. Duration. Is it being used in flower and veg. Etc) I would really appreciate it brother.

Would u mind walking me through how u use your light? ( light distance. Duration. Is it being used in flower and veg. Etc) I would really appreciate it brother. I just used it for veg when days were overcast. I literally just hung it between 2 shelves in the garage and the pots were under it. The light was about 50cm away from the pots but I never changed the height of the light as the plants grew taller. As I said, I don't know anything about lights, purely going on by what other forum members suggested so I cant say how much the light helped but Im happy with the results. Regarding duration, in the beginning I had the light on for 20 hours and 4 hours off and after 2 weeks it was on whenever the sun went down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During veg and during flower aswell? Or do u have a seperate flowering light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I just flipped them to flower on Saturday but I will continue to use them during the time where the sun sets and the time when they need to sleep which is at 1900.The sun will do the rest of the work.

It seems like you vegged the plants for almost 2 months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are supposed to be a bit bigger but yeah, tough life they have had thus far.I think the light worked out nice if you want to veg your plants with it. Sun is obviously best but if there's non, this will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i have been keeping the plant about 350mm away from the light ( im only doing 1 plant at the moment. So i dont need a big footprint. If i had more plants. I would have to keep the light higher for coverage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkunkPharm Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 You must start flowering. Time is becoming short to still complete the flowering cycle before spring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
