Does anyone know why my h2o temp would spike when my room temp and humidity are all good? :confused:Any imput would help. Im running a "cool cab" pre assembled cabinet.www.sunlightsheds.com/turn_key_units.htm Its got all thats needed to grow great bud. Its my first system. Ive tried two times...

Thanks again Chicah. I have it running according to the directions and the room temp is right on. I cant understand why the water spikes up like that. The first time I ran it with only three pots full and like a newbe I didnt think to cover the empty holes right away, eventhough the bucket is...

So its my first attempt at growing and ive failed my first two rounds using "The cool cab" growing cabinet. The system is a complete hydro set up with all thats needed to grow killer bud. Anyone out there know the ins and outs of this particular system? Im discoraged and about to buy some dirt...

Thanks for the suggestion. So promix is close to neutral and has no nutes? Also can I use hydro nutes on potted plants? I already have flora nova grow and bloom. I also have something called bush master. are these ok to use with pro mix?

Nice Ganja! I also found a local shop that carries coco. Im not sure what it is though. Gonna check on it!

Thanks Im not giving up thats for sure! I want to start with the right soil so Im not up the creek before I start

Thanks for the tip Ganja.:-P Is that because of the ph or nute levels? Do you mix those with anything like pearlite or something simillar? Im hoping to actually take a crop to bud. Maybe I will be able to do it this time:weed:

This is my first grow. Today I noticed my roots are starting to turn brown. Ive read that you can treat this using hydrogen peroxide. All I have is the standard 3% until tomorrow when the hydro store opens. Is there something I can do with the 3% until then? I think my res water is too...
