Welcome

Hi, nice thread guys
I agree with the mothers, if they to big trim roots and keep in same pot with new medium and they bunch back in a few weeks.
Clones are identical so if the plant you take it from is in good form then it's fine, clone from clone from clone works good for me after trying to keep mothers takes up to much space where I can have new clones in that space.

When I use FF Premium I only use that and water, after a few weeks if I start seeing a difference in the plant I ( lots of "I's ) top dress with molasses and/or worm casting, just a little and no synt nutes. Before flower il repot to bigger pots and use 50/50 coco perlight and then slowly start with low EC.
Doing my 1st run with FF Custom Crafted soil and only water, no NOTHING added and I have so much more free time and plants looks way better.

I have been using FF premium for a while with cuttings and only water with plain water for a few weeks and if needed I ad , as mentioned above, castings or compost on top.
What medium are you going to repot it in?

Soo manage to get low temps up to 22,5 and it looks like that's just for a few minutes when lights go of at 8 in the morning and then it stabilizes at 24-25, that should be fine. There was a bit of new growth and not sure if it's the temps or the PH adjustment, I usually change more than one thing and then don't know what helped.....
Let's give it a week and see.

Wow only see this post now, brilliant pics and info

On the soil side it looks like no correction is needed in general, on FF website they do advise to try and keep in a bracket, luckily the difference is much more than with nutes and coco.
Adjusted the exhaust fan to only come on when it's above 28 and the intake fan will be working the whole time and heater will come on when it goes down to 24. We will know tomorrow if it helped during the night.

Thx guys , only thing that changed if I go back in time is that split my veg room in two, and the cooler temps the last few weeks, they used to be under a 300w led and now under 170 w. Mostly been using the FF Classic and rainwater after clones rooted and never had a problem before and never adjusted water either. Going to change the airflow and will see from there

Hi guys, I learned alot on @420SA the past year and just love the idea that it's local.

I'm not sure if it's PH or temps but growth is not happening.

Growing in soil ( 1st time and loving it) and much to learn still.

My temps range fron 20-30 in veg room and I think it's the low side of the temps that can cause the purple, so the rain water is PH 7-7,1 and I brought it down to 6,3.

My in-line fan is on permanently so I thing when lights are of the heater can't keep up with the air being sucked through the room, but il connect the fan to the digital temperature thing tomorrow.

All went well till 3 weeks ago.

Any advise fellow growers?

I agree, so many ways to do this.
Now Jane, your turn to steer us in your direction and we can suggest further.

Hi Jane 

Welcome! 

Lots of help here and I will start with my 5cents. That's just over 11sg/m and to start of you will need 4000  + true Watts, but if you use half of the space to grow and the rest just to keep all your grow nessesities it will help with the start up budget. Winter can be a bitch to maintain temps at a avg of 25 degrees if it's a outside building/shed, if so you need to insulate to keep the heat you paying for inside as best you can. If you veg loooong you can have 10-12 plants but you can put up to 20 x 25L pots easily in there and can manage plants better. All depends what the end products destiny is. 

 way easier... no Autos from bag seeds  
 
I go that far... don't waste your time with bag seeds.. in any case don't waste fertilizer on those.. crossing a sexy female with a bush male turns out shit.. and that shit is just not worth the effort. Leave bag seeds and dump them in the bin!
As long as the male is crap quality.. your plants will end crap! Only use bag seeds, when you made them and know exactly what is inside the genetics.. rest very very much a waste of time!
 
Your plants flower, as the light duration is below 12 hours now.. they just do, what they are programmed to do. Any fem seeds you dump out now and don't use artificial light, will turn out small little bonsai's. Autos will just follow their time table.. and with little light, you get just nothing out.

If they are outside they will start flowering at this time of the year with the sun at under 13hr a day regardless what tipe of plant it is. Flowering takes a minimum of 8 week dependent on strain but usually round about 10-12 weeks, sometimes more.

Here we are week 9,5, girls did ok. Dropped the 3 GWS lower so intensity of light drops and hopefully helps them mature a little quicker, I also changed light cycle to 10/14 about 5 days ago and started flushing with a low EC and then no EC.
DP and AT has good colas. I'm hoping for avg yield of 90-100g per pot. Veg plants ready for next run.

After I put a 3cm Leca layer on top of the coco my humidity went down, seems like Leca is also a insulater that helps the coco stay cooler that prevents evaporation. Also the airsirculation doesn't dry out the top layer of coco that sucks moist from below up again.
, does it make sense

Evening
Week 7,5 and Girls pumping. High temp but it is what it is and we adapt. DP getting fat, AT catching up slowly and the GWS not as previous grow but ok. Velvet is rock hard already, she always amazes me and nice colour. New seeds popped today and some cutting drooping abit after weekend transplant and heat most probable, will see after the weekend how the settled in. Gave flowering room a Phyta feeding of 2,7 EC the week and they all survived and just a few nute burn leaves

I bought my QB320's from growopz and I'm supper happy, I avg 1,2g/watt and can do much better, like someone mentioned its all up to the grower. 2 X QB320's will be more than enough for 1,5x1,5 but I think they have a QB440 that should cover that also. I don't know where to start looking to DIY so decides to safe up and buy.

okay. they claim improvements in taste and quality - but I know better than to believe the hype. Its damn expensive overseas, so I was assuming they want to get people hooked before they come into the market - and that's why they giving away samples. but that's not going to work if it does nothing. thanks for the response.
