    What do this look like????

    What do this look like????

    Actually after seeing what you are using you can just skip that step. The moss keeps it from packing too tight so just follow steps 1-4.

    What do this look like????

    What you have is a good old fashioned root lockup. I would flush with with good water with no nutes and wait 24 hours. When you flush, water until it's running out the bottom then wait about 5 min and do it one more time. The first flush will dissolve the salts and the second will wash them...

    Problems In Coco Please Help

    Never let it dry out completely. It's best to go by weight, when it feels light then water. Coco is like an organic sponge, it may look dry or feel dry but all that moisture is trapped in it's core. Once you get a feel for the wet/dry weight then go by that and try to stay off of a set...

    ??flushing??

    I flush after every 3 or 4 feedings. After my last feeding, usually the 4th, I flush then I resume my normal routine after about 24 hours. Then do what Jonnychron said and flush 2 weeks before harvest and don't feed anymore. Flushing is basically flooding your plant. I use coconut husk and...

    Cloning From Tops vs Bottom Branches

    I prefer to take clippings from the tops and my question is, "Do you get a more potent clone"? I just want to make sure it is not just in my head but I swear I'm each time I do I end up with a more potent plant. The only thing that sucks is that my success rate of cloning tops is about 70% and...

    Fluffy vs Dense bud?

    I prefer fluffy for personal and I give dense to my friends. I prefer fluffy because they dry more evenly and they usually have a more cerebral high.

    Problems In Coco Please Help

    I use a 50/50 of coco and shanghai moss. Always flush any medium before using it. Also, yes, get rid of the runoff you can always get more water by dechlorinating tap water or collecting rain water. I only use rain water because it is the nectar of life.

    Red rust spots and purple stems with pics??

    I would first flush your medium and wait at least 24 hours. Then use 1tsp of food, 1tsp of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide, then a half tsp of epsom salts. Make sure you put the epsom salts in a small glass and microwave it for approx 50 seconds to dissolve it. Mix it all in a gallon jug and shake then...

    Any Advice on Selecting Soil?

    I personally use coconut husk mixed with shanghai moss. It's way better than soil. The coconut husk hugs your roots while the moss helps retain moisture. Plus you can reuse it over and over again.
