Thursday, August 14th, 2008 – 4:00pm, temperature 81° , humidity 34%. (Two or three of the plants have yellow leaves with some red spots. The three plants that are in the in the long cylinders all look dark green and very healthy. One (the biggest) is even emitting a strong sensimillia smell. All the other plants (17) are a very bright green and not dark green like the three plants in the cylinders. I trimmed all the bottom leaves that have turned yellow.

8:00pm – temperature 84° , humidity 34%. Lowered the plants again. Someone said the yellowing is from too much heat.

Week Three – Lighting 24/24

Saturday, August 15th, 2008 – 5:30pm, temperature 83° , humidity 34%. Two plants withered and almost dead. Soil seemed dry as a bone. Another with yellow and spotted leaves. The rest seem healthy.

7:00pm – Watered them all.

Sunday, August 16th, 2008 –

9:30am, temperature 86° , humidity 35%. I cut down the two plants that withered. Why did they die?? Virtually overnight, and they were gone. Except for a couple with yellowish leaves and red spots, all the rest look fine. The roots of the two withered plants had filled more than half the cup… Is it time to transplant them?

3:30pm – Transplanted the two biggest and best into large containers and the three smallest into the tall tubes for space.

Monday, August 17th, 2008 –

9:30am, temperature 80° , humidity 37%. Transplanted the rest into tubes and 4 into larger pots. Not enough room. Squeezed them all in. Temperature rising. Consider all watered.

9:30am, temperature 76°, humidity 37%.

12:00pm – temperature 77° , humidity 42%. "Topped" all the plants. Drying some clippings under a light-bulb. Lowered all the plants by three or four inches

Week Four – Lighting 24/24

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008 – 5:30pm, temperature 82°, humidity 30%. All the plants in the narrow tubes are bright green, but the plants in the larger pots appear darker green and are much larger in size. I think the plants in the smaller containers are experiencing "root-lock," hence their smaller size and lighter color.

Hi Folks!

I have eleven real small plants growing in 3 inch round and 6 1/2 inch tall tubes. I have room in my rubbermaid tub for 2 more big pots or 5 or 6 more quart size pots. I plan on culling the smallest "tube plants" and adding the best to quart size containers to see what becomes of them.

I'm just beginning my fourth week vegging my rubbermaid plants. I transplanted the six best looking plants into larger pots and the plants look better already. However they are still small. (The size of my hand and only about 5 nodes tall, including the water leaves) Maybe about 4 inches tall, max.

If I understand things correctly, I should start flowering them in a week. But should I? They seem too small to start flowering....

Plus, I just topped them all yesterday....
Question: Also, someone talked about using nutes during flowering. I have worm-poo spray that's organic and guarantees that it won't cause plant burn. (It's called Terracycle, All Purpose Plant food - Made from worm-poo. Total Nitrogen 0.03, Phosphate 0.002% and Soluble Potash 0.02%)You're supposed to spray the plant food on the soil surface before watering. But I used Miracle Grow self-feeding soil (Feeds for 3 months)because I don't trust my skills in mixing my own soil.

J-angel, you mentiond that I don't need to add nutes to the MG soil. But what about when you're flowering? Would it help to use the worm-poo for flowering? Like I stated above, it's organic and does not cause nute burn. What do you think?

Thanks again to you all for tutoring me here, it's very much appreciated!
