Haha, ya, I think that basil is gone buddy :)

Check out your runoff pH. As said, this could be lockout due to pH being out of line. Know your pH before you add the water, then see what it is on runoff, should be around 6.5. That may be confusing- add water that is about 6.5 on the pH scale, and see what the runoff is. I'm in hydro but have...

Good thinking man with the mh for veg and 1000w hps for flower. Like I said, LED do well in veg, but i'm biased, I don't like LED and don't think they're worth the time. We sell a 1000w double ended Phantom light set plug and play for $450 on sale right now. So $350 less than the LED. I'd stick...

Those usually have a hole in the back so they can be mounted on a wall with a screw. If you have the original packaging, it may have come with a screw that will fit that mounting spot on it perfectly. If you're one of those people with tons of miscellaneous screws that you've collected over the...

Looks like you're doing good, and totally can relate to the newbie anxiety. With some experience and practice, you'll see what plants will tolerate and everything they can spring back from! Truly amazing living organisms to play with, watch grow, then reap the benefits from. I don't have dogs or...

Healthy looking plants man, my one advice for you would be to move your temperature/humidity gauge down by the canopy. This is where your reading counts and may be giving you an inaccurate reading because it is stuck to the light. The LEDs don't produce much heat, but still do. With a higher...

OP, you raise a valuable question. If Trump did this, he'd be called a racist ignorant asshole and intolerant (which was previously said I'm sure- I couldn't read through all the shaming over differing political beliefs). It does stray away from the democratic liberal MO and seems something...

That is correct that training autos is not worth the time. Their flower and veg times are hard to judge when one ends and the other begins so best to let them go all natural. I do agree with switching over to photoperiod plants at the same time. I tried autos when I restarted back up only to...

Those bastards didn't part the sea for you after you spent over $100!? Unforgivable..... Fasilitor is thick man, can't tell what consistency yours is, but it may be normal, like a syrup. I use Aptus and I like it. Also understand that Aptus USA, AKA dutch garden supplies is based out of Holland...

I concur, that's big enough for some nutrients. As said, 300 ppm or so will work but ya, get some nutes in there. Sorry you got stuck with hydro corn. Roots love growing into the nooks and crannies of it and it's a bitch to clean and get any dead root out to reuse. I'd suggest shooting for some...

Could go either way. Ive kept plants that I thought were male and they turned out female. Males show faster and will start popping balls in veg- my last critical mass did. Keep an eye out, look for nanners. Using early preflowers can be a spotty way to sex. If you see balls, it's female. If you...

Not really worth it in my opinion. Dont know where you are, but with shipping to North America, you're looking at around 211 USD. Building something yourself will be more price efficient. Also 5 gallon pots in a dwc type nft hybrid system seems pointless to me. I'd say DIY or check with the...

250w in an air cooled reflector? They even make air cooled reflectors for 250w? Moondance is exactly right. Keep an eye on them, if you see excessive stretching even in seedling stage, lower the night a little, as well as still using hand test. If it is too close, you could also see some drying...

400w mh will work in a 4x4 but it is under-kill. 600w would fit a 4x4 more realistically. If you havent got CFLs yet and you want good results AND to save on electricity, check out CMH or ceramic metal halide bulb technology. They run 315 watts and have bulbs different than your classic metal...

UV light creates ozone when exposed to the air we breath. I'm pretty sure it forms in water too but at a lower rate. UV light is also used to "sunburn" plants in the last few weeks of flower to encourage a defense mechanism- the plant producing more terps and trichomes/ resin to protect itself...

I've religiously used pH perfect base nutrients for the last few years first in DWC then in coco. For hydro, the pH is semi-perfect but I find even that once i'm done mixing, it's even usually a little low for hydro, at around 5.3-5.4. I am using RO water though and I think it's my additives...

Could also check your pH just as a precaution too, see what the runoff is looking like. I've seen "deficiencies" that were caused merely by improper pH. If you're using a pH perfect line your pH might be a little low for soil. Looks good to me, I always get yellowing at around this stage and I...

Ps- I use beneficials in my coco hydro set up and they are very much alive, despite the fact I use pH up all the time. These adjusters may not be beneficial to microbes, but if they are at all, i'd say they are minimally antimicrobial. Many people use physan 20 or H2O2 or any number of cleaners...

Also a pointer for you man, as said before, nutrients are absorbed better at different points on the pH scale. Plants also do different things to the root zone pH during different phases of growth, for instance becoming more basic in Veg and more acidic in Bloom (my hydro experience). If you...

Sorry man, little late, but it is more of a drawn out kind of thing. Watch the trichomes and you can see their process unfold. Also, the trichs at the top of the plant will generally be more mature- more hormones, more light up there. It will not mature over night on you, but when you know you...
