[That crazy vancouver guy]

if you are giving ferts already... back off on them... just ph'd water

 

[sillysara]

yep they are just getting ph adjusted water..she'll probley shake it off..i hope

 

[That crazy vancouver guy]

those might just be water burns on the plant... I wouldn't be concerned about it... I'd just keep my eye on it.

the reason I suggested that is cuz u want it dark under the plant. it's fine to have light to the sides and up above (prefereably), but u don't want light underneath... how much light does dirt give off?... you just want darkness below the stem... as if the roots were burried in dirt. just use cardboard then... cut a slot out half way thru a large circle or square going into the center of the covering.

and if you can, get floro's over the seedling... that 250W hps is too strong... or at least raise to like 2-3' above the little girl.

The light is not going to hurt anything underneath the plant leaf, it will help if anything, and it's minimal to say the least...the plant still uses it for photosynthesis and it's keeping heat away from the roots. I personally, (with no documentation) think it greatly helps a plant. It may keep it from stretching (maybe go backwards.LOL I doubt that), thus keeping the nodes closer, scare those dam mites away and contribute to the food source for the plant. Yes dirt doesn't give off light but snow does, and it doesn't kill anything as does bright white sand. This plant is not out in nature, we are trying to boost all the positives, and the more light the better. That's why a lot of leaves die below the canopy because they are not getting light. IMHO. I would like to hear from others on this but I feel very strong about my thinking. Yes, and the flos would be a better light source choice at this early stage and you can keep them just 2 inches away from the plants..

got any pictures of these mj plants growing in snow and plain white sand? I'd like to see them...

not knocking you, man, or your opinions... cuz I got them too... just as I have suggestions to give... same as you.

Hey Crazy, I like your posts and no, my MJ doesn't do well in snow as I don't grow there I just don't feel that's her problem and do feel the mylar helps, it's all good man...
PS I don't grow in sand or snow , it was a reference to reflective materials, stupid me...something I found below...mylar will do the same...

White Cloth
White cloth offers reduced heat build up thanks to reflection of the sun’s powerful radiation. Use for flowering plants which will be effected by longer natural light exposure due to an increase in light quantity and duration. White cloth absorbs and reflects the white scattered light from the atmosphere. The interior of the structure is cooler than that covered by black in hot weather condition, as white cloth reflects the heat.

I stand corrected.:doh:

I'm high:stoned:

come to think of it... I seem to remember my mother putting white cloths out in the vegetable garden when we had really hot summers back when I was a kid...

I only remember the images cuz I am so high right now....

If you go on ebay and put "pH solutions" in the search you will find what you need. Generally you need two, a 4pH and a 7pH solution, usually buy as a set and also from hydro stores, just more money but if one is by you go get it. You test for one at 4pH and then 7pH (actually a fraction after the number, just rounded to 4 & 7) and you are calibrated (adjust set screw). Your directions with your meter should tell you, some may just use one number but most are two (4&7). If you don't want to wait , take a chance you may not be off much if any at all. Is this a new one? If so your directions will tell you what to do as there are one or two set screws for the 4 and the 7. They also come pre-calibrated if it's new!!!
