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...

My tap is 8.5 pH. My bottled water source is an even 7. I haven't tried RO and don't really want to because I hear you have to add cal/mag to it. My soil has beneficial fungi and microbes that I want to preserve, but run off is 8.5. I want to fix my soil/water's pH without using pH down. How do...

Update: New growth looks different since I switched the bulb from MH to HPS. Leaves and stems seem healthier at the tops, but the roots are browning more. I have seen some fungus gnats. I'm positive they came from tomoato plants I put in the grow tent with my herbs. I got them from my...

Roots at the bottom are pretty brown. They were very white but after last 511 feeding, they browned pretty bad. Anyone think this is rootbound? not sure if I should transplant. For sure though they are going into smartpots, not plastic. It looks like the bottom roots are suffocating.

The prob with pH down is it isn't organic and it will kill the beneficial microbes/fungi. If you look at the first pic, the bag is obviously a potting soil, not a soil-less mix. It has enough nutrients to feed through vegetative state with just water, especially since I planted with dolomite...

Did you read the first line? It said GTFOut trolls. You are the one who is mentally deficient. Do not post again. I will not reply. I disregard you're incapacity to positively communicate, troll boy. That's what I'm thinking. I'm waiting for the calibration solution to come in mailbox. When...
