I grew a time or two in soil, but that's been years ago, and always just one or two plants. DWC is fun. My current grow is in Coco, but the clones I get will all go to DWC. You can almost watch your plants grow in DWC. lol

So that's what a hermaphrodite cannabis plant looks like, huh?

That's root rot alright. I had it on my first DWC grow. Dr. Pecker is right. I spent $30 or more on Hydroguard, and it works, but Hydrogen Peroxide is a lot cheaper, and it works, too.

I think so. It looks better on the newer growth today, no drooping, but the discoloration on the leaf looks worse to me. I'll PH some water to 6.3 and give it a little bit when the pot gets light. It didn't get any water today, and its vegmates got just a couple of tablespoons worth. I think it...

Yes, it is the curled, or downward pointing growth, and if you look closely, you'll see discoloration on that big primary leaf there. I didn't notice it until I put my glasses on and inspected it under the light but it is looking kind of bronzed or copperish looking around the edges. I...

OK, so this isn't anything that I'm overly concerned about, but I wanted to throw this out here for any more experienced growers that want to throw in their opinions and diagnosis on it. I'm thinking it is one of two things. 1. I've over watered it or 2. I'm about to burn it with Cal/Mag. I...

I'm still a student as well. I'm just using a Sun Blaze I'm using Fox Farm Big Bloom, Grow Big, and Tiger Bloom pretty much as directed as far as the ratio goes, except for the amounts. I start out with a super light feeding once the plants are at least two weeks old, but it kind of varies for...

Well, for what it lacks in visual appeal, the price sure is right! I like it! :)

I'll be growing some Blue Dream Auto next month, but I haven't grown any purple strains yet. I'm like you though, I really really really like the look of those purple buds! :D

:) Well, let's chalk this one up to me being impatient. After I posted this, went to work and then came home for lunch and checked them and they've all germinated. 5 for 5 that I put in the paper towel. That answers my question. My humidity dome temp probably needs to come up 10 degrees or so...

I have been changing it to HPS for flowering, but I have been growing mostly Indica dominant strains until my most recent grow. I have some Pure Power Plant seedlings that, should at least one turn out to be female, will be flowered most likely under MH if they look like they're going to be...

Yeah, MH works with either Indica or Sativa, and the nodes will be tighter but the genetics of the plant is going to have more to do with it than anything. I suppose the best light scenario would probably be a combination of HPS and MH, but I just run one or the other, or sometimes I run the MH...

As far as the light goes, if you're worried about the height of the plants, the MH would be your best bet, IMO. The MH will encourage tighter nodes and your plants will stretch less. HPS is more efficient, and your buds might be a little more dense, but MH is fine for the whole cycle too.

Anybody regularly buy from Marijuana-seeds.nl? They've got decent prices and freebies, but my germination rates have greatly declined since I started buying here. The seeds either germinate slow or not at all. At first, I thought it might be me, or I got a bad run on one particular strain, but...

I had some problems early in this grow, so I attribute my constant checking to that. :P Hopefully I can get down to just checking them once a day, but it is really exciting for me to be doing my first grow. :D
