Is there anything such as a perfect plant? ;-) I think it's all how you see your work and your creation. Right now I'm also doing a first deep water culture grow and learning how to get it right.

Greetings, My plant is going on it's 6th week and about a week ago I spotted some problem (literally) with some leaves that had some tiny white spots on them. Someone here thought it could be a pest problem but it's not. Some of the lower leaves started to get these spots on them, and then...

They look nice.

No, not the OP. Sorry about the confusion. What I was trying to understand is if nutrients when added to a Deep Water Culture setup would balance out pH. Now I understand that the coco has a buffering ability. Of course I tried testing the pH with my water change and it was less than slightly...

There's always a guy like you around here...I also mentioned that I didn't realize it was coco. But please...be a jerk for all I care..which I care not.

Curious to know what you mean exactly by 'put your feed in at the right ph'. I imagine that's going to be different depending on how you're growing. I'm pH balancing my water and then feeding the plant, and then checking the pH after to make sure the nutrients didn't change the pH in which case...

I feel compelled to reply to you and tell you that you are wrong. I drowned a plant by flushing which put it into shock and killed its growth. You're going to tell me I am wrong? And you're saying you can't change the pH in a medium by watering with lower pH water? I've done that myself too and...

Don't flush the plants with excessive amounts of water and thereby drowning the roots. You will shock the plants, and if you don't kill them, you will be left with stunted growth. If you measure the runoff and its high pH, then just use a lower pH water - and NORMALLY water them as you would...

Grab yourself a pH meter off of eBay. The cheap ones aren't more than 10 bucks and work just as good as more expensive ones as long as you calibrate them and check them. They come with a calibration kit. Or grab the strips they work well too. I use Plagron pH Min to control the pH in my water...

I wouldn't worry about those first leaves. It does look like a cal-mag deficiency, but your top leaves are looking nice now. Whatever it was could have just been some temporary thing and it looks as though your past that. I didn't see anything about you measuring your water pH levels. This is...

Awesome stuff Big Perm. I covet thy grow tent and setup. It's simply awesome.

I'll give my opinions on flushing. First of all, good luck getting soil to a 0 PPM level because you will have to drown the plant which will put it into shock. You're better off not worrying about flushing in soil and just being sure you don't feed the plant anything but pure water during the...

No pests at all. I haven't seen a single critter at all except a house spider who took up residence when I was growing in soil. I actually give this spider water using a straw and let it live in there just in case some bugs might try to make it their home. But I've seen nothing and checked all...

Thanks for the reply. I was actually thinking about cutting the light down on the timer. I've raised the light a couple of times already because this Blueberry is growing really fast. One thing I noticed is that its very bushy unlike the same plant I grew in soil. The top of the plant is flat...

The biggest problem I see when people are getting a seedling to grow is over-watering it. You're going to stunt its growth quicker than anything with too much water. I agree with H.A.F. - just leave it alone. The embryonic leaves will give the plant everything it needs for its first week or...

For what it's worth, I use the GH Flora Trio and so far I've had good results. I'm currently growing my first DWC and haven't had any problems using the chart that was posted earlier. I cooked up a water adjustable Excel sheet and plugged in the recommended values for my 15 liter container. I...

I wanted to add that you should do your super cropping before you water your plants. When the stems are full of water they tend to snap easier. Just be gentle and press the stem between your thumb and forefinger. Don't worry if its drooping and looks 'broken'. If you didn't break the skin you...

I was able to super crop and lollipop the last two autos and they responded very well. So I can't see why adding a screen would do any harm. Let's see what happens in my experiment. Some of the photos I posted were early photos. They were not all right before harvest. Sorry if I confused...

Agreed. Thanks for the reply.

It's 180-Watt Hans Panel. I also believed that it was too close when it was a seedling, but now that it's exploding in growth and bigger leaves, I think it's OK. This is how close the lamp was on my soil grow. But that was two plants. This is one plant and I will scrogg it. The plant is really...
