Thank you both very much for the info and the help I appreciate it! I bought some lime today and will be mixing it in next time I pot up! Ill give the top dress a shot too, do I just top dress the one time?

Thanks, I have been looking around for a decently priced ro unit because I can't seem to find any at grocery stores anywhere.. Just distilled and spring water. My tap water usually reads about 235ppm which I've been told isn't terrible when it comes to tap water. I agree about the overwatering...

Thanks polo the don, you have been incredibly helpful! I will definatly keep using the ph pen and keep it around 6.0, and they did sell me ph up and down but it is the chemical kind, I don't think they sell an organic kind there otherwise I would have bought it but no big deal I'm sure their...

And can I add the dolomite to the pot after the plant is established in it? My trainwreck is now nicely rooted in a 5 gal bucket and I don't plan on repotting again. Ill mix it into my promix or future use but id like to correct the problem in my trainwreck as well

Thanks, really fine stuff it is! Interesting tho lol, apparently my hydro store needs a lesson on what's soil and what isn't...lots of misleading information comin from those guys! Ya you're probably right about using the ph pen lol, never know if it's fluctuating or not. Do you think 5.8 would...

Well then, it's settled lol...goin out to buy some dolomite lime and retiring the ph pen. My local hydro store probably just knew i was new at this and tried selling me anything and everything lol. Bastards! I'm curious about what the results will be here, cause I'm not gunna lie, ph'ing is kind...

Yes thanks bud tipps I was kind of thinking the same thing, I just found it kind of strange that all 4 different strains had the same issues...made me think it was something I was doing. Robro, that is interesting information as well...I know on the bag of soil it says that dolomite lime is...

Hey guys and gals, I am on my third grow now and since I started I have been growing in soil, promix HP to be exact, and my local garden store told me it is pretty acidic and therefor I should ph all of my water/feeding solution to 7.0 and so this is what I have been doing but on every grow...

Hey ganjadog thanks for the reply! Yeah I think I'm with you on the 6" fan and controller, I like the thought of being able to ramp up the cfm if I needed to. Hopefully the controller will quiet things up a bit too. So the way you run it is you have a separate intake/exhaust holes and fan to...

Yo guys, like the title says I am starting the planning process of building a new flower chamber. It's going to be a stealth build and I'm using a 6'Hx4'Wx2'D cabinet. So far my plan is to use a 400watt hps with a 6" cool tube for lighting. I'm trying to decide which fan to get because like I...

Wow thanks for the response dr. Who that was very helpful! Yes I'm going to go to the hydro store today and pick up some heavier nutes, look for a 10-10-10 like you say. I'm curious tho, how does ppm of the nute relate to it's npk value? The higher the ratio will it take less of it to get higher...

Hey guys so I'm on my first ever grow and I'm 4 weeks into flower and my 2 plants leaves are starting to go really yellow and curl/droop down as well the leaves veins are a dark red color. I know this is probably nitrogen deficiency because I haven't been feeding much at all lately because I...

Thanks grow by design, appreciate it! Looks like quality stuff. And blue dream truuuust me I tried everything I can to raise the RH lol, believe it or not 44% is the highest I managed to get it and that was right after I watered and left a damp towel hanging in there. I'd love to get it higher...

That sounds ideal! I'm definately going to go that route for my next grow, I want to see if I can get more than 150 watts in there without heat issues. What did you pay for the 400 watt ballast?

Oh I see...maybe ill look into getting one of those appolo ballasts and piecing together a nice Mh/hps fixture for my next grow. In thinkin about doin up my old fridge as a grow box lol I think that would be sick, veg on top in the freezer and flower down below. Plus it'll look/sound like a...
