Is it a good idea to actually completely saturate vegging plants in water once every other day? My room temp stays around 80-85f. Will this level of soil saturation draw insects or mold over time, or should i just make sure that the temperature, is at a level that will promote a good level of evaporation. I also fluff/turn/till the soil regularly, so that the wettest part of the soil goes to the top. Is this a good technique or will it produce problems for me in the end?

Hey Uncle Ben,
Can you helpe w/ this? Switched to flower 10 days ago, noticed this about 5 days ago. I read your post, but I can't come to a conclusion. The only things I can think of is that the temps did go up to 83 degress one day, or that my night humidity is about 70%, but I'm working on that (it has always been that high, never had a problem before though).

Strain: DP blueberry
Light: 2 1000watt hps
Temps: usually about 76-78
System: ebb & flow, pots w/ hydroton & rockwool
Feed: Lucas formula, 3x/day, 1/4 strength Koolbloom

Thanks a bunch!

That's what I thought. You can't grow decent plants without the most important macro, N.

Sorry for the delay, computer down. I have GH Micro, grow & bloom. I don't use the grow but I am going to start for the N. Thanks a lot!

hey UB, i hope you can help cause i sure am stumped on this one, i am growing a bubblegum strain that came from a 10 year old mom 2 years ago, the guy that i WAS growing with, never mothered off that plant and just the cloned from the veg box every crop, buds have always been huge and solid, now, i have had this problem with my last 3 crops of more leaf then bud, on this crop right now, 3 weeks in, they did have lots of white hair, until yesterday (3weeks) when now they are starting to produce leaf out of the bud, i am stumped on this, i asked a long time grower from my area about it, and he's stumped, could this be degeneration?

p.s. happy 4-20

I'm not sure what the issue is. The amount of bud is directly proportionate to the amount of leaves.

Happy 420!
