    Diagnose my Plants

    Tried letting the soil dry - didn't work. Can't water from the bottom because the roots haven't reached that far down. The fungus gnats are pretty much gone, AFAIK. The issue now is - are the roots so damaged that they can't intake nutes anymore? Though, if that were the case, wouldn't they...

    Diagnose my Plants

    I'm starting to think you guys are right. I'm watering the plants and they're simply not drinking any of it. It's got to be a problem with the roots, right? Could fungus gnats really cause THIS much damage, even when there aren't that many of them around anymore? I'm using Mosquito Dunks and...

    Diagnose my Plants

    Thanks guys, but.. They're not starving. I repotted them into soil that already has nutes in it. I used to grow with just plain water in this soil and the plants were still happy. I tried using only perlite but it didn't make any difference, so I switched back to vermiculite. Definitely not...

    Plants Stopped Growing - Can't figure out why

    Don't know what you guys are talking about. Most of the leaves are perky. It's not a magnesium deficiency. I've added magnesium, did nothing. It's definitely not overwatering or underwatering. My watering schedule has been on point for years now.

    Plants Stopped Growing - Can't figure out why

    My plants have just stopped growing (about 4 weeks ago), and I need to troubleshoot to find out why. The plants are green, healthy-looking, not drooping, no nutrient burn, etc. Off the top of my head: 1.) Light. 18/6 1000w (40cm away) 2.) Heat. 27-32C (AC Cooltube) 3.) Medium. Soil (with a...

    Vegging Plants Not Growing and Started Flowering

    None of my vegging plants seem to have grown more than an inch in the past few weeks.. I just have absolutely no idea why not. I'm using soil. Temps are 30-34C with an AC cooltube. The only two problems that have occurred are: 1.) There was a problem with fungus gnats that was dealt with...

    How much Calcium to add to R/O Water?

    I've switched to soft water and I bought some Ca-Libur calcium supplement to make up for that. The label says to feed 10ml per L, which is a ton. I added 2ml per L and the water became white. The PPM went up by about 100-200, I think. So, I'm really not sure how much to add to make up for the...

    Airy Buds under 1,000w HPS

    Sorry, I meant 11/13. As in 11 hours light, 13 hours dark. Well, what's the BEST one, not the cheapest?

    Airy Buds under 1,000w HPS

    Sorry for the late reply, and I appreciate all the input but you guys are way off. This is a 75% INDICA strain (White Widow x Big Bud). White Widow is 50/50 and Big Bud is definitely Indica. I get that the normal advice is "Don't trust the label" but I've grown this strain 3 times by now and...

    Airy Buds under 1,000w HPS

    They're in WEEK 7. Two more weeks to go at most. So, going around again - should I keep trying or just throw 'em out?

    Airy Buds under 1,000w HPS

    I'm growing in Coco. Using H&G Cocos A+B. Plants were doing FANTASTIC in veg, after switching to H&G Cocos. Using the same nutes in flower, they're just not doing well. I'm growing under 1,000w HPS, new bulb, AC w/good temps. Possible causes: Insufficient light - No. Heat - Don't...

    Coco/Perlite Plants Not Growing

    I'm having some very serious issues with transitioning to Coco/Perlite. I have set a drip system with a reservoir and I use Dutch Pro nutrients and try to his 800-1000 PPM w/hard water. I try to water once a day, sometimes every two days and adjust the pH every time. I leave the nutrients...
