What's up Rollitup? I've got some plants growing in my closet 1 week into 12/12 and I decided I would do a journal to take you guys through the flowering phase. First off here are the specs Light: 250w MH for veg and 250w HPS for flower + 10x23w cfl bulbs (5 6500K 5 2700k) Medium: 50/50 mix of...

I just switched my mh bulb our for my hps. I set the hot mh down on the carpet and I don't know what I set it on but now something is melted onto the glass. When I was taking it off I also noticed some kind of black specs stuck to the middle of the bulb glass also. Does anyone know a good way to...

space wise I would recommend 3 plants in 7 gallon smart pots or 10 gallon or large plastic pots. Also, just to be technical, the grow method you are talking about is most commonly referred to as SCROG. I am currently growing some PPP and have kind of mainlined them and they have responded well...

I don't know if I can count my current grow as a 250W grow. I couldn't fit all of my plants under the 250 so I am using a little fixture I made that adds about 230W of cfl to my grow. Either way here are some pics. Here's an older pic that shows the lights.

Could be interesting man. For my next grow I am thinking about running two identical clones in a side by side in 5 gallon smart pots. One with a 80/20 mix of coco and perlite using the full dyna-gro line and one in smart soil with AACT. I think it will be a decently fair comparison of synthetic...

The coco has pretty much completely won me over already. It was cheaper, there is no harmful dust in the preparation, the plants have grown considerably larger in the same amount of time, it looks nicer, it is a renewable resource....the list goes on and on. I would like to say that all my...

There you are man I'd been wondering what had happened to you. Plants are looking great, the screen is really well filled out on that outdoor mystery clone. Glad to have you back bro.

Things are starting to shape up in my closet. I flipped to 12/12 sunday. Check out the growth between the 14th and the 18th. The fem PPP from nirvana are the smallest and least vigorous of the plants. They are the three at the bottom of the pictures. Maybe they are most adversely affected by...

Thanks man, I had the temps down to 88 when I was running the lights 18-6 with the lights off period between 10 in the morning and 4 in the afternoon (the hottest part of the day) but I have a new baby sitter that will be coming to my house to watch my child so I had to switch the lights to a...

The dyna-gro feeds are all complete feeds and except for their bloom they are all very balanced. I don't have calmag but I do have MagPro which is a mag and sulfur micro feed meant to be used in bloom. I watered last night with the grow (7-9-5) and Pro-teKt to see how they respond. My run off on...

There have been a few times that I reached in the closet and grabbed a container and noticed it to be alarmingly warm. It has not been consistent though, just occasionally some of them feel warm, and I know they shouldn't. It happens more to the ones under the cfls, and when they have a lot of...

come on guys I'm not a total idiot. I get my water from the tap and let it sit open between waterings. After I add nutrients and mix it up the ph is always 7.7 7.8 then I use ph down to get it to 5.8 and then I water my plants. I just watered again with 4 drops protekt and 1/4 tsp of grow 7-9-5...

Last week my run off ph was 6.4. I know that's high but I continue to use 5.8 water assuming it will buffer it down with a few waterings.

The labels suggest 1/4 tsp pro-tekt per gallon of water. a 1/4 tsp is 15 drops from my dropper. I have given them 3 drops each time I used it. It also suggest 1-2 tsp per gallon for the foliage pro and I used a 1/4 tsp and then 3/8 tsp. I use kitchen measuring spoons and droppers that came with...

My water is always 5.8 when I add it to the containers but I checked run off ph last week and it was high at 6.4. I have just stayed on the 5.8 hoping things will balance themselves out. Should I water with a lower ph?

Could it be a problem with the light algae growth on the perlite on the top of the container?

Thank you man I hadn't even considered the algae. Will this continue to creep up the plant?

Thanks man yeah the yellowing of the leaves has gotten worse on a few of the plants very quickly in the last two days. I have fed the plants with 1/4 strength foliage pro (9-3-6) plus pro-teKt twice but gave them straight water last feed when I had noticed some minor burning and leaf curling on...

Question to the general Hempy community: Since neither perlite nor vermiculite have any nutritional value, how soon do you start feeding nutrients to the young plant? Also, how often do you feel the need to flush this rocky medium?

That is exactly what I am trying to do bear. All four of these nodes are coming from the same spot along the main branch so there will be no discrepancy in nutrient uptake from the roots nor in distance from and exposure to the light. This idea was created by nugbuckets and he has a whole thread...
