can anyone tell by these pics what these black splotches are? Just noticed them today after I sprayed with Safer Insecticidal Soap. I let it sit on there for a few hours then sprayed off with regular water. I've been noticing a gnat or two lurking around by growbox and have since discovered...

well I got the foxfarm trio yesterday in the mail. this morning I did a real good flush, because there are premixed nutes in the soil i'm using and I want to dull those down to minimize the guesswork as best I can. Funny thing is they've already got some burnt tips. Not real bad but its enough...

you know what though, what this actually turned out to be wasn't overwatering. if anything it was under watering, but what it was was that the 18/6 light cycle was just a little too much for them with the amount of heat that was going on at the time. I tuned the cycle down to 15/9 and got my...

hey thanks for the reply. as this thread is a little old in terms of a growing cycle, things are a little different now. new successes, new failures. I transplanted the affected plants into bigger pots but with perlite. I kept the same medium, just added the perlite in the transplant. They...

SON OF A BITCH! I got down in there and saw a few little creepy crawlies in the soil. I am so, so bummed. Now I need to figure out what they are and how to get rid of them. pic 1 is something out of my worst nightmare, root aphids. ewww. Pic two are springtails, which are supposed to be...

tell me more... could you actually see the larvae in the soil?? did you see fruit flies flying around? I haven't seen any fruit flies but I have seen gnats, but literally like 1 every 3 days or so and I do my best to annihilate it on sight. I put down yellow sticky traps and didn't catch any...

hello people. so I have had two occasions, one on one plant, one on the other. Little tiny holes appearing on a leaf or two. Now ordinarily I would immediately think of spider mites or something like that but other than these holes, which are relegated to literally one or two adjoining...

no, and actually this one recovered very well. so well I actually made a thread I was so impressed. here she is about a week ago

growindad that's it! Just didn't cut enough. Those leaves were definitely trimmed, thought that's just what it would look like. But yeah, I didn't cut enough. lesson learned.

ugh, what I meant was that I CUT 80% and left 20%. I'll put some better pics up in a sec. But even if I cut only 20%, wouldn't it sprout two tops just as if I had topped it rather than FIM?

I apologize for the quality of these pics but here's the thing: I FIMd this plant last week or 5 or so days ago and made what I thought was the perfect cut, leaving 80% of the top shute, but it seems to have just said 'fuck you' and kept growing vertically,. Though it did start pushing new...

it very well may be, I just recently got it down to the 77-82 range. Before that it was up there at like 88.

Hey everyone. In the process of my first grow here. Ive got a two plants just entering maturity(just lost cotyledons) and three that are just past seedling stage(very small but with 3 or 4 nodes so far.) As this was the first of what will hopefully be many grows, I just used the soil I had at...

here ya go

i just ordered some calmag. I hear its really good for purpling stems and ive been running into that a lot with seedlings.

hey everybody, so ive got some burnt tips plant that is entering maturity. Its about a month-month and a half old and lost its cotyledons a week or two ago. The ONLY nutes that its gotten are premixed in the soil and in the perlite. Unfortunately I used a miraclegro perlite which has nutes in...

I had seedlings that looked EXACTLY like that. Took them forever to start any sort of rapid growth, but they eventually made it out.. My problem, I believe, was that I was using soil with premixed nutes (.1,.05,.05) and the perlite I added, which was fucking MiracleGro, had nutes in it...

yeah you're right about that, but I did tell myself at the start that 'plants getting too big' was a problem I would be happy to have. I'm either going to build up on this same box. Knock out the ceiling, add some plywood and make it like 5 feet high or so... but that sucks because then these...

thanks everybody, I guess im starting to get on the right track now. yeah this is my first grow and to be honest, I didn't even think the plants would really start smelling until flowering. Boy was I wrong about that one. I may do a carbon filter, but the fact that I'm literally 4 feet from a...

here's my updated growbox. I started with a tv stand with some lamps strung around a circle with tinfoil cooking my plants to a crisp medium-well. Well I tried to listen to you guys. I didn't go as far as to throw my plants in the garbage disposal and take my box to a woodchipper, but I did...
