Oh, good idea to spray the room too. Thanks for the help as that should certainly hold things until harvest.

Ok, I've noticed spots on the top-sides of lower leaves with black specs on the bottom-side. They've began moving upward and spreading. I've sprayed the leaves with water and it has started to leach nutes from them (turning yellow). I'm wondering if I should spray with 1:1 water & rubbing...

Thank you for that information. I've been wondering what it is that plants do during sleep. I currently don't have a sleep cycle for plants in veg and have killed many clones before the roots could even fill a dixie cup. I know it's because there is a lack of roots/foliage to "breath" but I have...

well after about 15 hours the plant is dead. a truly mystery problem that requires me to either stop growing or to change medium. wow; and after 50 views w/ pics no one can diagnose it. The food leaves completely bleached yellow and dried and brown on the edges. So who says this is simple and...

Ok, this is extremely frustrating for me because the textbook fundamentals of botany are being disproved in front of my face; repeatedly. I'm so angry that I had to take pictures so other people could finally see the symptoms I've been trying to describe for years now. Years you may be thinking...

Thanks #1Raider, I like to think that people should have a little passion in whatever interest they may have whether it be women, music, video games, or in my case, honing the skills needed to grow the perfect miracle plant. We come from the earth, so does the MJ as well as many other herbs...

It seems that I would most likely have to convert the fan's power cord plug into a split cable with the positive & negative ends and attach it to a wall plate-style fan speed control. Is this connection fairly straight forward? White and black wires, or is there more to it?

Yeah, I purchased the lamp dimmer and, while it does work, it doesn't work as well as I thought it would. I don't know if it's because it's built to handle up to 300 watt loads and my fan is a measly 16 watts or because it's a dimmer for lights and not fans. It will hold me over for a grow or...

Wow!! I went from this thread to lowes.com and typed in light dimmer. I saw some options that varied in price, but the one wanted was the circular dimmer; the newer slide dimmer design has started to grow on me though. Anyway I found the dimmer and it was $10. I thought to myself, "great, but i...

Awesome. I nice, simple solution that will provide for a substantial improvement in performance. Thanks for the help guerillabud.

Wow, great responses to get me thinking. Thanks for responding as this issue has had me thinking for awhile now, periodically, since it first happened years ago. I think the only way to settle my curiosity is to force the same thing to happen again, so I know what to definitely avoid in the...

Greetings fellow growers/hobbyists/connoisseurs, I have a pretty strong axial fan (16w) that is used to circulate air in and out of the cab. I have recently added a carbon filter to the system which I think is working at 75% at the moment. I have read that a fellow grower achieved better...

I can't even think of a dream cab setup off the top of my head........... 1 x 4 square foot box with 10 x 23 watt cfls putting out 1,600 lumens each ~ 16,000 lumens / 4 square feet = 4,000 lumens per square feet 230 watts/ hr. Throw in a strong axial fan (sold at hydro shops) connected to dryer...

I have been curious for awhile now about how to develop strong roots, since a healthy root system will almost ensure a robust plant that can defend against moisture or pest problems. Of course I have tried searching "developing roots/root systems," but of course there weren't any good results...

I have an ebb&flow system and I have been growing a crop for one month. Everything has been fine, plants grow fast and are very healthy, then over a 1.5 day period, most of the leaves are droopy, and resting on the branches below them. The plant is nice and green and the tops of the buds are...
