I get home from work around 5 so I only have 1 hour to wait before I can go play in the garden .. Usually its a game of Madden on PS3 before I hit the garden.

dig it... right on i suck so bad at video games..i like war games when i do (try) lol.. my lady an my dogs get all my attention not being taken by the garden lol

think im having a problem, yesterday was my 1st day into flower and when i checked my ph this morning my roots have a slight brown tinge to them..couldnt take a pic cause the light went off as i was finishing up. my ? is im using the gh 2 part nutes, stuff looks like mud, and extreme serene also looks like mud. wondering if these nutes will turn roots a brown tinge or if its slime er algae..usually? my temps this morn were 72 in one bucket an 73 in the other..put a frozen bottle in each and brought it down to 67 and 68..

hmm dont know.. does it stink ? root rot stinks.

Put another frozen bottle I let mine drop to 62 then by the next morning they are right around 70 this is just due to the 400W hps and because I'm not using an insulated lid. Take a photo if you can. May need to read the beneficial microbes thread...

bad pics i know, but its dark time for the girls..

AHHHHHH You've been slimmed!! Read up on the thread I posted

i read the thread on bennie microbes, dont have the coin to make that tea just yet...is there something (ready) made that u know of?

Nope sorry

lol no biggy, just talked with my pro friend and he suggested a h2o2 dunk for 30 minutes and then run phd h20 for a few days with h202 added and then go back to my normal routine, just hope i dont kill em ya know

folks, i have figured out how to stop the brown slime in its tracks with very minimal root surgery. after a day of searching, reading, calling every possible person u can think of..hehe my lady is going to love this phone bill lol.
its called flora shield, the label says to flush for an hour or so, a rep at general hydro says to let it run for 8 hours in dwc, 1 ounce of flora shield per gal of h20. i used a 5 gal bucket with 3 gals of h20. 2 gallons were at room temp and 1 gal was cold from the fridge..brought the temp down to 60. i ran it for almost 9 hours, pulled the baskets out and the roots were WHITE! then redid my nutes and now almost a day later no slime temps is at
69 with a frozen bottle of water. i hope this can help ill post pics later when the light comes on. please feel free to ask ?s

a few new pics almost a week into flower

the spot where i broke a stem last week healed up nicely into a thick knot lol

does anyone else use the single part gh nutes?

new pic

Finish laying that tile! ..lol

lmmfao..thats what my lady keeps saying lol.. im buying a tent this week so im not really too worried about finishing up this room, im insulating walls and ceiling pink panther type rolls, vapor barrier and then sheetrock the garage. got a whole house fan one of those whirly ones for the roof, does 3 times the space i have..next grow will be 8x8x11, next week im getting 2 of those dimmable ballasts, 250 400 and 600 watt i believe. gotta love paydays lol

Here is a little tip for root growth. I start my seedlings in a small one gallon tote. The smaller net pot and tote lets the roots grow faster. This is what you want in the first few weeks. I just started a new grow, my seedling is 2 weeks old... and i have lots of roots in the tote. Its almost time to transfer into the bigger tote. Nice big healthy roots are key to a good grow.
I also add some of olivia's cloning solution to the res. for root development.
Good Luck.

rock on skoot, i use medical clones in dwc, in soil i start from seed tho

i just found in my closet i have like 10 of those blue ice packs, the hard plastic ones for coolers, anyone try these for regulating temps? any thoughts, ideas. fire away
