    Musty, Mildewy Smell from Leaves/Buds.Any Way to Save?

    Forgot to add.. I don't water much,.. just until about 10-15% I pour in drains through bottom. Using 2 gallon and 3 gallon pots. I water around 1/2 Gal for the 2 Gallon pots and 1.5 Gal for the 3 gallon pots. Should I change this? Using peat moss and perlite.

    Musty, Mildewy Smell from Leaves/Buds.Any Way to Save?

    ventilation increased.. i wasn't venting at night, however just started to.. i think i'm going to have to put it on a timer though because it kept my humidity at 45% all night. Smell has started to vanish. I did, go to the extreme and took the mustiest bud down and searched it through, and it...

    Musty, Mildewy Smell from Leaves/Buds.Any Way to Save?

    ive been in a greenhouse.. and it's not the same. I use Ph 5.8 tap water. Soil Ph is unknown... tried using a soil ph meter but it seems inaccurate as it is really bouncy and never really settles on any ph. Runoff measures around 5.6. what's weird is that it smelled DANK.. for 4 weeks.. then...

    Musty, Mildewy Smell from Leaves/Buds.Any Way to Save?

    the smell is extremely strong in 2 of them.. the blueberry X strains.. the Blue Hash has the smell of wet laundry that sat in the dryer for awhile. The Blue Widow has a denser cola and the smell isn't as strong as the BH. What's weird is that they were stinking.. and now they don't. It may have...

    humidity is down to 52% right now.. is there any way to stop this, treat it, or should I wait it out as usual and if it gets worse, toss it? it sucks because the preflowers just starting fluffing out with tons of calyxes.. mighty depressing to see alot of work be fucked up so easily, but i...

    Musty, Mildewy Smell from Leaves/Buds.Any Way to Save?

    there is an unmistakable musty smell coming from some of the more dense buds and slight smell on leaves... been happening for a few days now.. getting progressively worse smelling. I looked for anything out of the ordinary, but couldn't find anything really. Humidity got high for a while...

    When Should I Flower My Girls? (1st Grow with Pics)

    just like dude said above.. you could flower any time you want. Factors to keep in mind would be: 1) HEIGHT - during the first few weeks of flowering your plants will STRETCH.. ALOT (depending on plant, 1.5-3x initial size of plant going into flowering is normal), so if you're low on height for...

    Cloning with Super Thrive-Brown Roots?

    I'm not an expert but it sounds as if it's due to heat.. from my experience roots like to be more on the cool (not freezing of course) side than hot. The heat mat will increase temps to the root zone approximately 10+ degrees and to add to that most trays are black and are being bathed in...

    help with seedlings! distilled water, pH5.8, 80F burnt leaf tips, WTF

    are you using any type of air circulation? I would say it looks like some are getting a bit bleached from the light intensity. You might back down off the heat a bit, and let them recover. It appears a bit of the light intensity mixed with heat stress. At this point in my grow I used higher...

    Acidic soil help!

    old post.. but i'm experiencing some very low ph as well. my soil tester is reading ~4 despite flushing with 1 tbsp of hydrated lime with 2 gallons of water amongst 6 pots (4 - 2gallon, 2 - 3 gallon). I dont want to overwater to avoid root rot especially since the plants are young and in a...

    Drug Test Question - I have done my research!

    I've successfully used real urine before, and synthetic urine can be used but be aware that there are imitations out there, and that if the drug test is sent off to a lab some synthetic blends do not have the right specific gravity and may be rejected (that is if you bought an outdated or...

    Germination help!!!!

    i do the same thing with the rapid rooters... except i run higher temps (79-84 degrees) and misted the dome well to provide good humid air.. and i had sprouts in around 36 hours. ALSO. i used distilled water with minute amounts of nutes and some superthrive. worked like a charm. i compared...

    24 - 0 light cycle - a few questions.

    i used 24/0 to start off... used it for 4 days before switching over to 20/4.. then 2 days of 20/4 use led to 18/6.. and since it has received periods of darkness, i noticed explosions of growth the mornings after (growth that occurred while i was sleeping).. and there seemed to be a correlation...
