Now take a lux meter reading at 20%, 40% 60% and 80% of rated bulb life and then see the difference in lumen outputs.

There's a lot of difference between growing pure Sativas and Indicas - Indicas are easy, Sativas are not, for two principle reasons: 1) Pure Sativas stretch and grow very tall and spindly; 2) All Canna plants are high light plants, but Sativas particularly so, due to their origins being in...

It could be Mg and it looks like it could be a deficiency of some kind, but now you've repotted the plants should have acess to all the nutrients they need - you do not need to re-feed them anything, nor do you need to ph the irrigation water. Give them a chance to settle into their new homes...

It also looks a lot like Phosphorous def to me, although burn and def can look quite similar. Given that his lower leaves are yellowing rather suggests that deficicncies are at work here rather than burn. Out of whack ph shoudn't make the slighest bit of difference to a soil grow and the...

The ph level will fluctuate as Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen evaporate from the water as it changes the overall hydrogen content percentage, and as I'm sure you're aware, Ph stands for 'parts of hydrogen'. Chlorine may be present in the water, but the small amounts used won't harm the plants. In...

A Magnetic coil 400w HPS will use 456 watts of electricity every hour. That's 5.47 kw per 12 hour light cycle. Work it out from that.

Because they're idiots.

Where do you get that from? And who says his ph is causing lockout? :shock:

10 inches? rediculous! Bang goes all the dissolved oxygen! No, it's under fertilisation. Your soils shit - replant them into some decent soil, and move that light up to a safe distance of about 18 inches to two feet, and don't bother with letting your water stand there's very little...

And has knowing that helped you solve your problem?

Repot them into a slightly larger pot.

Mix up the irrigation water and nutrients fresh each time you're going to fertilise the plant and don't let the water/nutrient mix stand around evaporating any dissolved oxygen it contains. As a general guide, you shouldn't need to fertilise your plant for about 3-4 weeks after potting into...

Well it isn't, but I supposed it'll have to be now won't it? A 5 gallon container is WAY too big for the size and age of your plant, I don't even use 5 gallon containers for full size flowering plants grown from seed, let alone a few week old ones. Also, its no wonder you're only watering...

Only you can really know this I'm afraid. You have to watch two things - the pistil hair colours and the trichome spheres because each represent two different things. The pistil hair colours show the overall 'ripeness' of the plant, ie how many of it's flower buds or calyxs are dying and have...

Yes, if you're looking for an up high you need to chop early rather than late, but it depends a lot on how much Sativa is in your plant and how quickly the trichome spheres will change. You need to be shooting for a mix of clear and cloudy trich's which will give you a nice up high with a bit of...
