hydro98 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 (edited) hi all just been round my mates whos growing in soil. he was realy peed off, this is his first attempt at growing and hes at 10 weeks 12/12 and its not a pretty site. the leaves look great the buds are tiny, its put him off growing again and i think its a shame so i said i would try and help him find out the problem and get him growing again. as i said the leaves look great, no spots, yellowing just nice a healthy green but the buds have ended up tiny !!!. ionic soil bloom is the main feed and a bit of big bud so i cant see any sign of underfeeding. the strains are ok as ive grown them ok the only thing i can think of is air exchange, its a 5'5' room 1 x 600w grolux 160rvk out and a very long(12') passive intake. does a lack of fresh air cause this problem ?? please can anyone help me restore his faith that it can be sorted ?? cheers jon Edited August 8, 2006 by jjon98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunkyG Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 (edited) Hi mate, What are his temps like? Whats his humidity? What is the strain? What ratio of feed is he using? How long were they vegging? Were they from seed? Can you get pics? Im still pretty new to this but im sure if you have the above info someone will be able to help! Of course he can be saved though. Tell him to sign up to uk420 mate, its like a infinitive path to knowledge! Also, im not sure the lenght of a passive intake matters, its the size of the hole which I beleive has to be about 5 times the size (normally diameter) of the exhaust.
