any comments?

Well i haven't posted in a LOOOONG time. So here is just a quick update. They are looking really good :)

okay, so i am having problems with my plants. all of them have been treated the same. the first picture is of the one with the least problems, its very first two leafs but the rest of the pant looks good. the second one has been the worst of my plants, the plants are really dark. the first...

the soil does not have any nutrients in it. it is organic, and nothing else added. I will move the lights up a bit. I will try and get a ph meter as soon as possible. will this cause the plants to die in a day or two if i dont have a chance to get a ph meter?

anyone have any ideas?

They haven't had any problems occuring before this one. We haven't changed anything. Including water. so what should i do. I dont have a Ph meter right now, are there any other possible solutions or is a ph meter a must?

I got the soil from a nursery. It's an organic mix with no fertilizers or slow releasing ferts either. I looked up online and did some research on how to mix my own soil mix (I can't remember how much of each), but there's mostly part soil, perlite, vermeculite and very little peat moss. We...

It's been 2 weeks and 4 days. This morning when I looked at my plants, they all seemed to have a yellow/brown discoloration at the tip of their biggest leaves (the second pair). They almost look a little burnt or crispy. On top of discoloration, two of the plants have each a leave which is...

alright i will keep a look out for some lady bugs :)

any idea of what to do about the possible spider mite?

We asked at a hydroponics store about getting a MH bulb that would fit in our HPS ballast and they had some (although I have a budget and cannot afford one at the moment.) In the mean time, (once I transplant) will it be alright if I use my HPS light? Or should I continue to use the fluoro's...

I was just looking at my plants, and I saw a tiny red bug on it. It looked like a baby beetle. I'm thinking spider mite.. What should I do to prevent anymore from showing up?!

About the lighting, I have already bought an high power sodium light with all the necessary accessories (ballast and reflector). It's alright that I start using that when I transplant? And when should we start using nutes?

well thew end of the second week will be this tuesday, so i thought i would update my journal on my babies. so here are the pics, they are in the same order as the last set. so first picture of the last update, is the same plant as the first picture n this update. P.S. should we transplant...

Hey, thanks for your input. I really appreciate it. I checked the lights and they aren't hot, but they're warm, so I don't want them too close. I have a pair of 23w CFL's I had originally bought to start my grow. I had used them on my first group of plants, but then I got the fluorescent tubes...
