    Want to Know If Your Plants are Finished?

    What about these? Strain is AK-47. Plants have been in 12/12 for 50 days. Trichomes appear mostly cloudy with a few red trichomes. Buds lower on the plants look very immature. Not sure if I should chop or wait. Any opinions?

    Can't get rid of root rot

    BTW, I finally solved this problem by using 3% H2O2 every other day. Just a bit in the rez seemed to keep the roots clean and healthy.

    what the hel is this snot shit

    Like I said, I had the same shit - whether it was root rot or some other pathogen. I even had what looked like small green balls (smaller than a BB) in airpockets in the snot. I fought this for several weeks - I'd wipe it off, clean the res, and it would come back in a few days. My plant was...

    what the hel is this snot shit

    I think it's root rot. I battled that shit for weeks - it killed my roots, stunted growth, etc. Until I discovered Hydrogen Peroxide. Go to WalMart, KMart, etc. Get 3% Hydrogen Peroxide. Use 3 tablespoons per gallon every other day. After it's gone, continue 3 tablespoons every three days per...

    Death by electric bill

    Won't do anything. Power factor is important when you have highly inductive or highly capacitive loads. These loads will time shift voltage and current. You'll still pull the same voltage and current, but they'll be out of phase, the net power over time will be lower. The most important...

    Can't get rid of root rot

    Thanks, everyone, for the help. Just to clarify: Using Foxfarm hydro nutes (my mistake - not organic) My air may be a bit on the warm side - I can relocate the pumps to pull in fresher air. I'm having a hard time getting 35% H2O2 - only one hydro shop where I live, and the owner...

    Grow operation busted, but they flushed!

    Someone called police to report a strong odor of marijuana. Officers arrived and confirmed the smell but couldn't get anyone to answer the door, so they filed for a search warrant. In the meantime, those inside the house went to work to destroy the evidence, at least what they could fit down...

    DWC PH Fluctuations

    I suppose it could be too much air. I thought you couldn't have too much air, so I bought two Tetra air pumps (dual outlet, each for up to 60gal fishtank). I've unplugged on of the pumps, lowered PH down to 5.8, and will see if that helps overnight. Thanks for chiming in. If you find that...
