I know this sounds alarmist of me, but it reminds me of what people are calling TMV or a virus of some kind - the plant could be sick. Try foliar feeding with some cal-mag as calcium inhibits the virus, and another option is using plain aspirin believe it or not. (The doses I've been reading is...

Yup sounds right. Under MH light the thing would just pop node after node; bushy is an understatement.

Whoa! What an incredible stretch; those plants are yearning to break free. Crazy. Best of luck. I'd almost recommend roughing her up a bit and super cropping at that point, what else can ya do?

5.5-5.8 is where I personally had best results and it def required daily adjustments with pH up and down when the plants got big. I used typical synthetic GH line of grow/bloom/micro and had awesome results. I think I just did the basic recipe on the bottle really too. Simple line with great...

Cool, sounds about right! It's been awhile since I used hydro, but it sticks with ya! It's probably nothing to worry about, those last pics show some healthy foliage going. Hydro is great in its flexibility and ability to correct imbalances - if any. Do you use distilled? I really had no...

Looks like they were starving for some (NPK/MG) food at one point there and you boosted them and the last couple picture shows their gratitude! Of course the red stems could be a trait of the plant! What's your PPM at, 800 or so?

Yeah the methods are really compelling and cool. LSTing is a good place to start! They sell training wires at any garden center.

What, you mean this site isn't about growing tomatoes?

Absolutely, fantastic, amazing, impressive, crystally goodness sir.

Also from wikipedia, anyone else venturing into this thread with questions about this: Hydrogen peroxide decomposes (disproportionates) exothermically into water and oxygen gas spontaneously: 2 H2O2 → 2 H2O + O2This process is thermodynamically favorable. It has a ΔHo of −98.2...

OK, that's hopeful. I've read conflicting reports on this matter, but I will report I looked at the wikipedia page and most of my questions were answered (apologies for not being resourceful yet again o' forum :wall:, but the facts are in) : a) It -doesn't- break down -unless- in the presence...

Hehe, with a vengeance! I hear that. Did your water temps get too high or something? Or using organics?

It's the basic 3% stuff with stablizers in it, I'm hoping you're right and it decomposed or broke down the baddies in the original rain water. Again, the barrel was/is maybe about half full, so at least 20-30 gallons worth and a little pour of the H202 - not a whole lot was added. And I am...

Will it kill the beneficial bacteria in my soil, or just the anaerobic in a small amount? Reason I ask if there's a huge consensus H202 kills beneficial bacteria in a soil medium, but I didn't know this before I added maybe a tiny pour (not sure the exact measurement, maybe 2-4tbsp - not much -...

Here' a link for anyone interested in this stuff: http://www.ecse.rpi.edu/~schubert/Light-Emitting-Diodes-dot-org/Sample-Chapter.pdf There's a section on 'brightness' but I had trouble pasting it. It basically said our eyes are more sensitive to blue when it's darker I believe, so I...

Thanks to all the replies. I think this sums it up. The amber color just seems dimmer and less intense to the eye as I suspected. I've been doing some research in light of my question here and have caught onto the scientific trail: The "blue" cones are identified by the peak of their light...

I have a 1000W HPS light I just put on today and compared to the MH light (conversion) it seems dimmer, which is weird. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me or the blue just seems more intense when it really isn't. Can't imagine anything is wrong, brand new light and all. Although, not...

Moist dirt seems to work well as obvious as it sounds. If you have any spare dirt, you could try simply keeping it moist under the light and it should add the surrounding humidity. Keeping any source of water out under a light (in a bucket, or whatever) will evaporate and also add to humidity...

Appreciate it, I'll be a little more resourceful - sometimes it's hard to 'weed' thru all the posts for a right answer. Thanks!:-P

I was reading more and just realized many of you and subcool actually use the supersoil mix from start to finish (from clone/or somewhat established plant.) I've been vegging for just under a month from seed in a 3 quart pots adding some molasses and light feedings to help them along, and I'm...
