Auto white widow and a caramelo first grow!

[Sinsemilla]

hello guys I am new to these kind of growing things and you can say fish or a newbie (: I am getting professional help from a very experienced friend of mine but I discovered u and I said why not? You are doing spectacular things and I learnt much from this page. So would u like to have a look at these babies for me ? I think I need ur advices, ideas too (:


Soil: Standart coco peat
Light: 19-6 and 220w neon
Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients ph Perfect Technology Grow & Micro & Bloom


For Caramelo, tomorrow it will be exact a month and for White Widow 5 days. Are those babies normal, healthy? For caramelo, is the growing process going well or slow? What do u think, guys?

My thought are you should do a couple of things first lower your light thats why you have such a stretched out baby .next what type of grow medium are you using that looks like pure coco if it is or even dirt mix in some perlite to loosen up the soil then the girls can breath and feed easier good luck in fact if they were mine I would re pot and bury those long stem so just the leaves are above the soil

I agree with OJH......medium needs perlite.....also I'm not sure neon throws out the right spectrum of light....and your light schedule adds up to 25hrs dude......plants operate under 24hrs schedule not sure how much changing that would affect your plants...seek advice on GWE dude.....happy growing😀😀

p.s if by neon you meant t5 or cfl I apologize...my bad😁😁

sorry it is my bad (: 19-5 hours light. one light gives 4800 lumens and there is 4 of them. 2 white 2 yellow. and u are right they are t5 fluorescent light. and yes it is a pure coco peat so u say bury the stem and give perlite. I will post again in a week or two with the pics. thank u guys for ur nice comments (:

I don't know why everyone is so pro perlite, I grow in 100% coco with no problems and I don't even use smart pots.

Hello guys again. It has been a long time since we last talk. Here are some pictures of Caramelo and a new ww. Ww is obviously sick but idk what the problem is and I was gone for a week when I return Caramelo was like yellow. Firstly i thought that it was a nitrogen deficiency from bottom to the top. What do u say guys ? Do I need to do anything ? What I need to do ? I need ur opinions ideas advices (: For Caramelo, 1 week later it will be exact 2 months from the first appear on soil. I think I am getting closer to the flowering stage but maybe I am wrong. Thank u so much for ur comments (:

[OzBud]

how often are you giving them nutrients?
Being in coco you need to give them nutrients right from the beginning and do it at least every second watering at a minimum.
I water & feed my plants every day in coco.

[OzBud]

even though the nutrients are 'pH perfect' that doesn't mean your plants have the correct pH at the root zone.

How often/how much water do you give them? Are you checking the pH of the water going in?

Is there any runoff water out of the bottom?

There should be runoff water every time you water, at least 10% of the amount of water you put into the pot.

pH going in and coming out should be between 5.5-6.5

[OzBud]

even if you're providing the right nutrients in the right amounts if the pH isn't correct your plants likely won't be able to use some/any of the nutrients depending on what the pH in the coco at the plant roots is.

[Sinsemilla]

Without nutrients the water ph is 6.75. I give the water like every 3 or 4 day. While i water them, 2 watering with nutrients and 1 pure water so in 2 weeks 2 time feed 1 one time pure water. Last time I gave 4lt water and 2ml for every nutrients I am not checking the ph. I have runoff but I afraid that if I give them too much water. So every time I use %50 less for everything for water for feed. Sorry for my bad English i hope u can understand me (: thank u for ur attention man (:

I would re pot and bury those long stem so just the leaves are above the soil

We can do that? Could we just add a bit more medium to the pot to help stabilize a skinny stem like @Sinsemilla has here?

[D.A.A.S.69]

Bro Sinsemilla, you gotta feed them, don't be afraid to water ,as Ozbud said. Gears absolutely you can do what OJH100 said. DAAS69
