No wilting, a possible mild stunt but really not noticeable. ive never had problems with infection. The bubbles help keep infection from being a problem, though i would always recommend washing your hands and using sterilized cutting tools. Earl: yeah i would cut that tap root, but at a much...

wow i just wrote a monster post and hit the back button on my mouse. Oh well....ill see if i cant replicate it. My setup: I grow like earl, using DWC and large 25 gallon rubbermades wrapped in construction plastic and reflective white plastic. During vegging i have 6 sites, during flowering 2...

your ph is probably off, which is why its not solving itself. If i were you i would chop off those roots as they are dead, and as you can see the plant is wilting, which means its not using its roots anymore. So the dead roots are going to take oxygen from the water as they continue to rot...

Intuition is telling me your ppm's are too high. IF your ph and water temps are good, its ppm. Lower ppms will allow more 02 to be available to the roots, and i think its just generally burning the roots. Try keeping your ppm's at 150 to 250 until they get fairly large. dont lower the water too...

Yeah get an HID light to go with the LEDs unless you have your full spectrum covered. You need to have RED and BLUE LEDs at a ratio of about 10 to 1, or you can use purple, or white led's, which have a full spectrum. In conjunction with HID's these will definately do kick ass, but alone the bud...

I just use steel shelves with casters on the bottom. they hold about two thousand pounds, you can move the shelves, and you can connect them together. Only 80 bucks each, and you only need about 2-4 to make a decent size room. Each rack is 4 feet long and 5 feet tall.

neem is the best. I notice huge growth spurts after i spray my plants, even when they are not infected with bugs. Neem will naturally be destroyed by the UV light after 2 weeks, so i use it on all my plants all the time except during the last 2 weeks of budding. It will make your plants shine. I...

You would be better to take off the top of the plant. This will promote more growth below, and allow more light to penetrate. Sometimes ill do a second cut by cutting the tops off all the buds and taking all the fan leaves off and letting them go another 3 or 4 weeks. Very effective, and more...

looks like your overnuting them. I can see the beginning of burn and slight curling up of leaves. Keep your nutes low (150-250) until they are about 12 inches high. I used to use the dropper kit but mine only went down to 6.0 Make sure your kit goes down to 5.5, as your going to try to keep it...

yeah i wouldnt accept them or go there again. They are either stupid and will attract cops who may follow regulars home, or they work with the cops. cops have been known to start shops to build cases. A local store around here just got busted in a "drug ring" for supplying clones and equiptment...

I trim the roots several times while the plant is small and vegging. The first time is when the first roots pop out of my clone medium. Pinching the ends of roots will tell the plant to form more roots from the base of the plant and create more root ends, just like topping the plant will create...

Overall, very nice job starting. I would recommend you cut a hole in a lid and put a netpot in the top so you dont have to fill the whole container with clay pellets. This will make it easier to change the water, which you wont have to do too much while the plant is small (2 weeks or so) but...

dude lower your ppm's. I use 250 ppm during veg (you should use 1/4 the recommended dose and this will differ based on the brand- i use canna) Also lower your PH to 5.5-6. Raise your water level- the plant is probably struggling because of this. The temps are most likely too high in the water...

Yes- of course its yellow because of N deficiency but the question is, is it because the PH is off that the plant is not getting the nutes, or is it because hes not feeding enough nutes. By the way, PH doesnt burn the leaves, overnuting them does. The wrong ph will just make it impossible for...

you can use neem oil all the way until about 2 weeks from when they finish. neem oil will degenerate naturally after about 2 weeks. Its amazing because it affects almost all bad bugs that eat your plants but is completely fine for humans, even healthy (its been used for 4000 years in the middle...
