    I cant tell whether or not im having a ph issue or a P or K deficiency. I also cant figure out should I be ph'ing my tap water or not? i'll test it again but it comes out of my tap around 8.5 give or take. that seems very high. I did buy some Natural ph down from earth juice at the hydro store...

    Anyone here use blumats?

    I was reading up on perfecting my water technique when I found these. I was always skeptical of auto drip systems, but I read that they are great for the living soil in organics. Does anyone here use them? There are a lot of things about them I dont quite understand.

    How do you respond to deficiencies organically?

    I'm getting some bad n def. After keeping a clone in 1 gallon of soil mix for 3 weeks. I amended with more ewc, and repoted into 5 gallons of amended soil, but I'm still showing signs of n def. How do you respond quickly and minimize stunting

    Tiny clones came with tiny buds! Will these veg?

    I got these from the breeder this way. His strains are always top notch but he's not as anal as I am about plant issues. But I've never seen buds on a tiny plant. Can I even veg these? I have no idea how he could have flowered these. They can't be more than a couple weeks old. The breeder is...

    Organic for dummies?

    So I've been shaking some things up lately. I'm switching from Sunshine advanced over to a bagged soil mix a friend of mine was telling me about. Is there an easy way to continue feeding organic once my plants have consumed the nutrients in the soil? I have a veg and bloom compost tea by the...

    How often do you get bugs in your FFOF?

    Ive gotten FFOF on two separate occasions now. The last bag I got 2 years ago had a predatory mite in it hypoaspis miles. I'm pretty sure that is what the new bag contains as well. I opened my new bag of FFOF to find a small, fast, spider looking, bug. Pretty sure its the same mite as before...

    A single plant isn't eating, why?

    I have 3 nice size plants going right now, 2 of them are eating every bit of their food. feeding about 800 ppm's with every feeding for those 2. And an AACT about every 2 weeks at about 700 ppm. 2 plants eating all of this up. a third plant is not. It's just as big, as the other two...

    To cook or not to cook?

    A friend of mine was telling me about a new soil mix hes been using. a very simple concoction of 3 different pre mixed bags of soil from the local shop. My friend has much more experience than I do, so I should really take his word at most things. But I asked him If I should cook up this mix...

    Best brand of coco?

    I've spent a lot of time on google, and yielded very little results on the subject. It's hard to tell one coco from another in terms of quality. I see a lot of coco loco at my local hydro shop, but after reading all the ingredients it looked more like soil than coco? I think I would prefer...

    How much ppm's do you feed in flower?

    To anyone who may have been following my threads in the last couple weeks knows i've been having deficiency issues. I just measured my ppm's for the first time, to realize that I've only been feeding about 250 ppm of food in flower. I think the poor girls are starving? 1.5 mL per gallon of DG...

    Anyone familiar with something thats smaller than fungus gnats? They look like tiny little white specs of dust. I literally they they were dust until I got my microscope out.

Brown gets more pronounced until the leaf dies 600watt HID Grown in 1 part EWC, 1 part perlite, 1 part RO's green lite...

    Phosphorus deficiency?

    I noticed this about 3 days ago. I've been vegging for about 5 weeks, so they are a nice good size, I've only had to feed them 2 or 3 times thus far. But this is affecting the lower fan leaves quickly. Grown in 2 parts sunshine adv. #4 1 part perlite 1 part RO green lite (charged peat) 1 part...

    How do you go about flipping from veg to flower?

    In all my previous grows I've always immediately switched my timer from 18/6 to 12/12 and replaced my MH for a HPS. Should I continue on this way? I feel like i've always got an unnecessary amount of stretching. I was thinking about moving my timer down 2 hours per day, and then switching to...

    Can this be caused by windburn?

    I think my fan might be doing a bit too well here. These are on about week 3 of veg and this one looks worse than the others. I haven't started feeding yet, and my Ph is always 5.8-6.3 growing in a slightly charged peat mix

Ive been exhausting into that bedrooms return duct with a half assed 400 cfm full metal home depot inline fan. But I think im going to step my game up and start venting through my attic.

    How do you treat small plants?

    I've got some small clones. Typically I wait a week or two only giving ph'd water and transplant into a light feeding medium and start using liquid nutes 2-3 weeks later. However, I'm thinking bout adding in some of the additives before I start feeding. I'd like to start with a silica and a root...
