Ugh.. I think I have root aphids, but I need some help identifying these pictures I took of them. They're crawling on the floor of my tent, so I stuck them to a yellow sticky trap and looked at them under my microscope. I think there's some fungus gnats too.... Is there any hope? Or should I...

Can anyone tell me the easiest and/or best way to charge BioChar? Would mixing BioChar into a worm castings AACT and bubbling it for 36 hours, then straining it be effective? Or letting it sit in a box for 2 weeks with 50/50 wormcastings/biochar? I have a plentiful supply of alfalfa meal... is...

I've always been under the impression that you want the soil to dry out between waterings. After two successful grows, this is how I've always done it. But the more I read into organics and living soil, I keep hearing that when the soil dries out, the microbe activity slows or decreases...

I started a brew with 3 gallons of dechlorinated water, 3 tablespoons of unsulfured blackstrap molasses, and 1 cup of fresh worm castings. I plan on watering it to my 3 week old clones at half strength after it's brewed for 24-36 hours. However, I want to use it on some plants that need...

If you've been browsing around the LED forum here for a bit, you've probably heard the advice from many of the pros - "stay away from the cheap Chinese LED panels" Sure they work. They grow plants, but they also aren't made well. I noticed burning on and around a couple of the diodes. Definitely...

I bought the Boveda 62 packs to use for curing. Are you supposed to use them immediately, or after the first week or two? For the first week of curing, is it okay to have the humidity within the jar between 65-69% and then drop it to 62 with the Boveda packs on week two? Or should the Boveda...

Young clone from another plant that was originally purchased from the dispensary. The strain is Mendo Afgoo. 4-5 weeks old. I see little pod-looking things (one or two on the main stalk where it branches out. There's either a brown or white hair sticking out of them. Sorry if this might seem...

I recently transplanted in a 1 gallon pot. The affected leaves are turning brown from the tips near the middle of the plant. Starts at tips and edges and works itself inward. Gave it 1/4 strength veg nutes when transplanted (GO Box) (sorry for blurry pics) This is how it starts.. Then...

I have a strain called Girl Scout Cookies that has been flowering for 51 days. Everywhere I have read it says to look for a 9-10 week flowering time. (63-70 days) This is my first grow, but they look nearly done to me! Most of the pistils are brown, the calyxes are swollen, and some buds...

This started about 2 weeks ago and has slowly progressed ever since. It looked like a magnesium deficiency to me, but I've been giving it plenty of Mg so I'm lost at to what it could be. It's an organic grow... see the setup here...

Hi. Noob grower here a bit confused about my plant. I believe it MAY have been exposed to a tiny light leak. I recently opened a vent that could have possibly let in some stray light during the night time. Just today I noticed a fatty seed in the bud and another budsite had very small seed-like...

I'm new to growing and new to organics. I've brewed some AACT's in the past several weeks, but I'm wondering if I could re-use the mix of ingredients. When I'm done brewing for 24 hours, I'm left with a 5 gallon bucket of foamy tea. After using all of this tea, could I add 5 more gallons of...

As a patient and under compliance of all medical marijuana laws I decided to start providing my own medicine instead of spending ridiculous prices at the dispensaries. They were vegged under two Area 51 XGS-190 panels in 130w mode. Late last month I was forced to add two more lights to the...

Hello, This is my first grow and overall the plant seems to otherwise be growing healthy and on pace with the other strains in the tent. Strain: Girl Scout Cookies Nutes: 3/4 strength General Organics w/ AACT's every few weeks + Added Molasses. I feed with every watering. Medium: Organic...

If my plants have a magnesium deficiency, will the veiny/yellowing leaves come back to their true green color once the issue is resolved? What about leaves with brown spots? I'm in the process of fixing what I believe is a magnesium deficiency and for the life of me, these leaves aren't...

My plants are showing sure signs that they're magnesium deficient. I am brewing up my first AACT right now and was wondering if adding 1 tablespoon of epsom salts would have any negative affect on the tea? Thanks

Would there be any advantage to using a fish tank pump to bubble my gallon mixture of nutrients? Or would it be pointless? I'm using the General Organics GO Box.

I've been growing for about 3 weeks now. I started with 8 clones from the dispensary and have so far fed them a 1/4 dose and 3/4 dose of GH flora series. I also used a little bit of General Hydroponics PH down with some waterings and regret it. I'm not happy with them and want to start using...

Noob here. Just confused about reading PH. I'm hearing so many conflicting answers while searching around about this topic. 1. If I'm pouring in PH 7.0 water, and it's coming out at 6.5 - what's my soil's PH? 2. If I perform a "flush", should my runoff PH match the water I'm pouring in? Is the...

After doing a lot of research and contemplating, I think I have some magnesium and calcium deficiencies showing up in my 8 plants. Purple stems, brown spots, yellowing of oldest leaves. They are clones from the dispensary and I've had them for around 3 weeks. To be honest, some plants showed...
