Dust Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 well a s told in chat, watering evryday in soil isn't good for your roots you need some dry periods for your roots to develop healthy We will developp in chat, good luck in your grow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Tokage: i use neem because the Homebox are in a big greenhouse whit some big plants attacked by red spiders this summer, i need 3 weeks more to cut the big plants (in the greenhouse but out of the Homebox) and sometimes i see Mites live in the leafs... in some days wen i cut the big ones i abort the Neem or use less... I change the watering cycle now, latter i tell here the progress.thanks!Ivan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopman Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Always remember they really love there wet dry cycle. Good luck with the grow and they do look over watered. Takes a while to get it right , like Superbluehaze use to say "its an art" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mopman Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 to me it looks like a ph problem. Nicely picked up bozoph , if i have a re look i think i was mistaken , was in a rush and i did not have a proper look, just saw the leaves at the bottom right of pic 2 which looked like over watering and made a judgement sorry Ivan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 the over watering is a yes yes! now with 3 days w no water the soil remain humid but the plants make a big jump in size, in the night i try to get a ph meter to check the water.thanks friends! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dust Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 damn that is some cool ph and ec meter!!Yeah ph 8 is wayy too high your plants must have trouble eating with that. You have to buy some PH down, or try to find some citric acid it will lower ph too i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopman Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Sounds almost like my water too , mine sits anywhere from 8-8.7. Like Dust said just get a ph down solution and you will be fine. Dont worry yet about the old leaves showing those signs, what are the new leaves looking like.Keep em growing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
