    Have you Forgotten About Magnesium? This one's for you KING

    I think this is a very interesting topic max! I have recently been messing around with my nutrient formulas a lot in an attempt to step out from the "nutrient manufacturers shadow" and determine for myself the optimal NPK/Ca:Mg levels for both veg and flower. All of my experimentation has been...

    New to RO: seeing deficiency quickly develop 3 wks into FLR. Mag or Nitrogen??? Pics

    Does anybody have any thoughts on this matter? After further analysis, I am still under the impression that I am seeing magnesium deficiency And i'm thinking it might be as simple as I'm not adding enough cal-mag and epsoms to compensate for the RO water. How much Cal-Mag do growers really...

    Have A Plant Problem? Check Here First

    XxM1k3YxX - Your pics look to me like either potassium or calcium deficiency. The lower leaves which are starting to exhibit interveinal chlorosis indicate a K(potassium) deficiency, which is accompanied by the edges burning as you are seeing. However you can see an edge burn from simply a...

    Canoeing Leaves or Tacoing Upwards Help Please! Bubba Kush Plants 400 watt Hps

    Hey Smokey, I know its been a while since you asked the question, but the reason your bud smells like hay is because you jarred it too early. Always leave it hanging to air dry until the outside seems real crispy, there is still moisture down inside! Then put it into containers and leave them...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Hmmm, it sounds like that plant was pretty small. Mine are a good 2-3 feet and bushy, with root balls filling half to 3/4 of a five gal bucket, and they are three weeks into flower. Does anybody have experience transplanting hydro into soil with a plant this size and/or during flower? Any tips...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Hey lapperll just wondering about your technique for putting a hydro plant into soil. It has to be impossible to entirely remove the plant from the five gallon net lid, so maybe cut most of the top off? Remove as much hydroton as possible... And as for the root ball, a few are pretty damn...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Thanks Heis, How often do you usually do a full res change? I ask because I usually do it as often as every five to seven days in veg and four to five in flower because as you say, I also like keeping a fresh balanced batch of nutes. Do you see any issues with reinoculating that frequently? On...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Couple more quick questions Heisenberg, How many times, if at all, can I reuse the stalking stuffed with the AF humus? I like the idea of mixing a fresh batch of water, zho and aquashield for each brew but thought the humus might be reusable a few times. Also I noticed you recently mentioned...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Thanks Heisenberg, I do not use RO water, I use pretty clean tap water through a tall boy sediment and chlorine filter, so i'm not sure how that plays into the theory... Keep your fingers crossed for me, I am starting a brew today. Couple questions: 1- Do you think in my case it would be...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Two last notes I have talked to a couple people who say they control this problem with constant use of chlorine/bleach, but I really don't like that concept. I have since moved from the small town water supply, so I don't think my current water source is tainted and adding more, but It comes...

    Hey Mind, I am a fellow DWC grower, I use a slowly circulating 27 bucket system under 8k HPS. With so much light I am struggling to keep the PH under control.
