just wondering what type of light will interrupt the dark period. i have a red 'party bulb' that i use for light in my room when i need to see during dark hours. its a 13 watt truely red light. also what about monitor light from a computer monitor? the screen is 22" lcd display and id like to...

Well I should have waited till I read your post, WEt. I applied that second top dressing and watered it in that morning (23rd). I burned them for sure. The biggest plant got the worst burn because I applied a little more to that container. Just like you said, that application at transplant time...

im in the same boat. in a 3x3x6 grow tent. have a coolable hood that pulls air straight through vents via basic duct fan. when i zip up the tent, the oscillating fan is still running in there and the top vent is open but humidity is still around 70% at night. what im going to do is 1) buy an...

well I cant find the bat guano, I thought I had it but I think I gave it to a buddy. FML! (there was a bit of time I had quit growing anything so I sold some stuff a gave some stuff to friends) I used a little mix of the Citrus tone (5-2-6) and kelloggs tomato & veg (3-4-5). Each plant got...

I used 2 tsp per gallon of soil.

Just wondering if anyone knows how long dolomite lime will supply calcium and magnesium to a plant that is about 2 months old.

I transplanted into Foxfarm OF on 4/6/12 with dolomite lime and citrus tone by espoma in the mix. I thought there would be enough nutrients in the mix for at least a month. Growth exploded, the plants doubled in size in the last two weeks. Something is telling me they are already hungry for...

2 Plants are in FFOF and one is in a mix of FFOF and Kelloggs: Gardner& Bloom Coco soil. The Plants are under a 400w HPS and in Smart/Rootpots. Right now I'm watering every 4 days. On the fourth day the pots are really lite. They get like done dry to the point where the lower fan leaves start to...

OK here is an update. .. I have a pan of water in the tent to keep humidity slightly higher. Its 40% lights on and 60% lights off. Temps peak at 84. Night is 68-70 now with new hood and fan. The plants were transplanted into air pots. I mixed up FFOF and The kelloggs coco soil 50/50. I used 1...

Well I transplanted them into air pots with FFOF and the coco soil mixed up. 50/50. I added a teaspoon of dolomite per gallon of soil. I also mixed in a bit of Espoma Citrus tone. When I transplanted I watered with Nitrogen fixing bacteria to reduce transplant stress. Plant are looking much...

This is very interesting.. sparking lots of reading, or re-reading.. This must be why during my last grow, when I used FFOF and mixed in dolomite lime at planting time, there were literally no problems. The bag was balanced at 6.3 - 6.5 and the lime must have kept it there. I just took a soil...

Here is a link to whats in my soil. https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/516339-help-new-brand-coco-soil.html What is the point of adding dolomite, for the Calcium and Mag?? Lime raises the pH though. Nice read Serapis. I do have a redwood tree outside, but bringing needles in...

I just picked up a bag of Ocean Forest and a few 5 gallon smart pots. As soon as they dry out I'm going to transplant into the smart pots with some Nitrogen fixing bacteria/root inoculant from xtreme gardening. Think the fox farm soil will be enough? Or should I add dolomite/dry ferts? I...

So I calibrated my meter and I just got my TDS meter.. My tap is 60ppm and after calibration, the pH is 7.2. Acording to the litmus test (General hydro dropper test) it reads 8. I trust the calibrated meter more than the drops. Everyone says how its so easy to grow, 'it's a weed.' I'm a...
