    pH issue?

    Change your water is one way, if this happens a lot indicative of old water OR temps changing a lot in your rez. When the water heats and cools your PH will go screwy. You sure your water doesn't have chlorine in it?

    pH issue?

    you ALWAYS mix nutes first, then adjust ppm accordingly. This will ensure a proper balance of nutes. Now when I adjust ph personally my PH adjusters don't raise ppm enough for my EC tester to measure it. It would only make sense that it does, I've just never noticed enough of a ppm difference to...

    Plants with 1 leaf instead of 5

    keep them, that's quite normal in fact. If the condition persists which it should not then I'd toss em. As previous poster stated, almost a natural mutation. In some instances that will happen but instead a split will happen causing two branches to form. Unless you're hurting for space or light...

    hydro prob the roots have goo on them

    you should change the water "as needed" or when you notice the ph levels fluctuating alot. at least rinse down the roots as they will accumulate "goo" and nute residues. To my experience superthrive will create goo and/pr residues in your rez. After just one use i notice a buildup on bottom of...

    pH issue?

    Try lowering ph to 5.5. variable is 5.5-6.0. 400 ppm on a 3 week baby seems a bit much. I don't stress ppm a lot but I only go as high as 700 through out the veg. I also use dirt "Mention because our values will differ". I run up to 1000 during bloom. A good reference for ppm with your NPK...

    NEED HELP! Found a plant in my yard...

    It's a weed, it can take a few shots before you finally kill it off. Kind of like a cat with 9 lives. As previous poster stated, treat it and it will rebound. Typically during transplanting you'll notice drooping. I would'nt worry at all, what I would do is make sure to NOT over water it right...

    Clones dieing

    Hey all, I'm having some issues with my clones I don't quite understand. It appears after a few days of them sitting they will "bruise" at their base "just above the RW" and wilt over as if to die. I understand wilting is normal, though the bruising makes it seem a bit more then simple wilting...

    after seeds germinat can I put under HPS/MH

    yes but keep the lights 3-4 foot away from the tops for about 3-4 weeks or until you notice the plant is strong enough to take in more light. when theyre that young too much light is a bad thing as well is heat.

    My Grow House Design (Need Advice)

    once you "turn" your plants into flowering stage "12/12 lighting" you do not want to bring them back. thats known as re-vegging. 12/12 lighting cycle will produce a hormone telling the plant its time to fruit/flower. once turned leave them 12/12 for about 60 days or until you know how to...

    Two different problems... flush or just PH?

    " Should I have kept it up (flooding) till run off was in the range I was after?" YES! your run off water is the ph value of the soil. when you flush you're trying to neutralize your soil. I.E. put it back to PH 7. 7 being the neutral. lastly I wanted to mention as i missed the quote before...

    good question! i think everyone has a speculation to what happens at night, but as some people have mentioned, I also being one to veg 24 on 0 off as well as run normal 18 on 6 off cycles. on that note I personally think the only real thing that happens at night is the plants drink more. its...
