Root rot is basically caused by a lack of oxygen to the roots. Could H2O2 help prevent this? My plant just got hit by TS Fay (LOTS of rain, strong winds) and isn't looking too good...at all. If anyone knows of a way to help counter root rot, please help! The only other thing that I can think of...

So Fay is all around me right now. 20-40ish mph winds, 8+ inches of rain... She definitely is not accustomed to getting this much water over a 24hr period, and these winds might be ripping at the LST sites, tearing her apart. She's tied down in three places to make her bend in more of a '-...

Tropical Storm Fay made landfall some time last night and all day, even though I had been thinking about moving/protecting my plant, I didn't get around to making the trip out there. We've gotten about 8-10inches of rain in this pretty short period, and a lot of 40-60mph winds over the last...

I've learned a lot about these plants, the way they grow, their necessary nutrients, and, unfortunately, the way they exhibit some of these deficiencies. I've finally become comfortable enough to not have to go check on her every day, and I'm pretty happy with the way things are turning out. I...

I have some 5-1-1 Alaskan fish fertilizer and some 6-12-0 bone meal. I know that I need more N, and since she's in the early flowering stages, I figured that I need more P as well. Would it be better to start off with the High N & Low P, or the High P & Med. N? If I mix these fertilizers into...

My plant has leaves that die occasionally and I feel the need to remove them once they reach, what I deem, a "point of no return". I try to use my fingernails to pinch it off as cleanly as possible. Will the removal of dead leaves have a positive or negative effect on her? I would think that...

The first thing I noticed when I went out to check on my girl today was a number of chomp marks on one of the larger leaves. I'm fairly sure that a caterpillar is to blame even though I didn't see it, and I haven't seen one anywhere this summer...yet. Does anyone know of a good caterpillar...

My plant has gone through it's share of ups and downs, but now that it is in a pre-flowering mode, I'm paying even more attention to it's health. I even made the difficult switch from a solely-organic home-compost grow to using a chemical fertilizer that I already had (18-6-12). The older...

Okay, so I've had my plant on strictly organic nutrients (compost supplements) so far, but this yellowing isn't going away and I have two fertilizer options available without buying anything new. I've got a 15-35-10 that I thought would be good for the P addition, but I've also got an 18-10-16...

During first/second week of flowering (just starting to show the white pistils/hairs)? I've had a totally organic grow so far, so I'm a bit reluctant to add a chemical fertilizer of any kind, nonetheless one designed for orchids...but all plants need the same macronutrients, so this ought to...

It's been raining here a lot lately, except for the last few days, so I went out to check on my baby and I was surprised to see that so many of the lower node stems were bending downwards with yellowing leaves, reddish/purple stems, and some gnarled upper leaves... I just found out that it IS...

Okay, so my plant is growing in a pot out in a clearing in the woods near my house, where it gets good sunlight and, unfortunately, lots of rain this time of year. I think it's out-growing the 8" diameter pot that its in, but I'm a bit worried that transplanting it would shock it...and it's been...

I'm 100% sure Ive got a spider mite infestation and I'd like some help on how to kill them. I've heard that soapy water will do the trick, but I'm concerned that the soap will bring the soil's pH up to a dangerously basic level (maybe), so would you use lemon juice or vinegar to level the pH...

Okay, so this plant has encountered the usual yellowing of the bottom leaves, but in my attempts to counteract this, I think I did something that caused the leaves to develop brown spots that shrunk and turned into white spots. I don't think this is a Calcium lockout, as I've been using 100%...

Hi, I'm new to the site, this is my first real grow, and I have a question. I have my plant (yes, only 1/10 seeds sprouted) in a 8"x8" pot for right now. Good soil, 2-3 weeks into vegetation, about 7" tall, and looking pretty healthy; maybe 4-5 leaf nodes (levels of branching), the first two...
