    Hindu Kush (Nirvana) Germinated 7-31-08

    there just seems to be more things that can go wrong with soil. I have a hard time regulating the PH of my soil so i get nute lockouts etc. etc. with my DWC I barely ever have to make adjustments to the PH. It stays between 5.8 and 6.0. With hydro my only concern is they may get to big...

    why is this happening

    how do you mean the ones that aren't topped are acting like they are?? they are growing multiple heads anyway?? how many days has it been since you topped? I've topped individual plant's at a time before and I've never seen this. Pictures would be cool.

    Check the PPM of your tap water after it rains!!!

    So im never buying water from the store again.... I have well water and the ppm's are around 150-180 in the summer time. but lately it's been raining a bunch, and I usually use half RO water from the store and half tap water because RO water is kind of expensive. It's been a few days since it...

    Hindu Kush (Nirvana) Germinated 7-31-08

    im using tap water yes. no more fertilizer, i've had better luck using none. I hardly ever water. growing hydro is so much easier than soil for me. its almost fool proof.

    lanky vs bushy

    Get your lights closer. chances are they are growing up not out because they are stretching up towards the light. I have a problem with heat so im used to stretching plants.

    hi im new to hydroponics

    I would (and did) go with a dwc (deep water culture) as a first system. no timer needed, just leave your airpump constantly running. In this system, the roots actually stay submerged in your water an nutes. The air stones fed by the airpump give the roots much needed oxygen, so the more air...

    First Grow:AG Grandaddy purp Clones

    I would second the more light suggestion. when deciding when to flower, most people never think about overhead space. your plant will grow 3 times as high as it is right now by the time it is done flowering. you don't want to bend the stalk over unless you have to. just another factor to...

    Everything I need to kno about transplanting aero clones to hydro (plz help)

    make sure you don't mess up the root structure. don't transplant until you see a decent amount of roots coming off the stem. It may take up to 2 weeks to see roots. i've waited 3 weeks. you can mix a 1/4 strength nutrient solution. good luck man.

    Cloning questions

    Yea, but who cares right? You should never have to flower your mom's. Just take cuttings off of them. New growth grows back in like 2 weeks.

    Low Humidity? Keep a pale of water in your GrowRoom...

    I've tried this bucket thing before to raise humidity, it didn't work for me at first. I was using a t5, and no ice. maybe that's why it didnt work. My humidity with the light off is 50% when the light is on it's at 30% or lower. Now that I have a Hps I will try it again. this time with ice.
