    it waas my beleif, that one of the causes of rising pH is that the plants are using more feed than water, which would kind of make sense. Do not take this aas gospel Only on my second DWC grow, so far from an expert, but i've done both using nothing more than a pH meter, no EEC, and judged the...

    Didi understand correctly, you have 2x250 for flower? or one for veg, and one for flower? I miss perp harvests, and multi strains. When I move, it's gonna be 1 veg tent and 2 flowers, only two strains though, one on soil, the other in hydro. Admitidly I am only on my second hydro grow, but...

    ok, that's root slime, or root rot, or whatever they call it. I had that on a plant, just the same, pretty worse in fact, on my first hydro. Was using organic feeds, and had light hitting the water through the clay pebbles. Also high water temps cause issues. In short, i killed the light issue...

    Enwhysea - any advice is pretty random, do you have any specifics you aren't sure about? With regards to changing out the water and nutes, like you have just done...does your snorkle tube (that's what I call the one on the side, where you can see the water level) rotate at all? I built a small...

    Your right. I saw a post around the same time, which had zebra strip duct tape, in the same place as yours...got confused. You mean changing out your water/solution, for a whole fresh batch?

    Definitely worth checking with the manufacturer before using anything other than HPS. Best way it'll work fine. Then again it may work OK, or it may work but result in premature wear of the bulbs and ballast. Worst case, could cause an electrical fault and then a fire. Safety First Kids! Also...

    As well as flower nutes? I know some brands, like Biobizz, advice grow and bloom nutes through flower? CBT - that's what i miss about growing over buying. A proper clean trim, hobby style, no leaf!! Trying buying that! Giggs - nice to see you. I'm also swapping to 250 for mum and clones, and...

    Thanks Buds It occurs to me that all thte feeding schedules give about 3 weeks for veg, then swap straight to bloom nutes with the 12/12 light change. But even super mature plants like mine take a few days to turn. Speaking of which, got some better pics, 10 days after flip. Using the cam...

    I've not written a book about Quantum Mechanics or anything, but there's no guess about it Ace. If you go from a 2x2 to 2x3 tent, you definitely have more space :? lol (couldn't resist) Both my tents are showing leaks around the seems, but i'm fortunate enough to be able to put some black/white...

    'Sup Ace. Just reading through and realised, your WiFi was in the cup stage, just like your pic at the top of this page. Man time flies. How's things been, other than the bout of paranoia (we all been there) For months I was convinced that the continual helicopter movement, ten times per day...

    Funnily enough, it was the vid that stoneslack has shared that made me buy my UV bulb. I bought a 26w CFL. made by ExoTerra, who are big in the reptile world. They have different levels, but I went for the Dessert grade one, with highest UVB. I may be wrong, but don't remember hearing on the vid...

    Mine never last long enough. 3 months between harvest and buying seeds was not good, but had to take a break. Here are some poor pics, that's all i ever seem able. Had some real trouble getting the feeds right on the DWC, but the soil seems happy enough. Just finished adding a UVA/UVB light...

    Well I had to stay late at work, which meant getting back after lights out. No pics just yet I'm afraid. Feels good to be back. Swear I enjoy the growing, and problem solving just as much as the end result :) Green for life: 4" at the least. I've seen many ppl veg succesfully with greater...
