    1oz+ per plant SoG, doable?

    I'd have to agree with Treeth on this one. In my opinion, in a properly planned grow you veg to fill the canopy with buds. How long you veg depends on how many plants you are growing per square foot for the light(s) you are using. In a true SOG, 4 plants per sq ft, 1 cola per plant, the canopy...

    Damnit! Why are my roots brown again?

    Like Roseman said, if your res smells like ass then that's not good. If the roots are slime-y like snot, that's not good. If the roots have patches of dark brown or black or die-off, that's not good. If your pH spikes up or down, that's not good. If the water is foaming, that's not good. If your...

    First Time DWC Grow EVER LOTS OF PICS BUT NEED HELP. PLEASE POST

    If you're using tap water then you probably don't need the Cal-Mag in my opinion. If you're using distilled or RO water then it might help. I believe Sweet is an organic nute, and while I don't know the ingredients it's probably mainly molasses (and extremely expensive molasses at that!)...

    First Time DWC Grow EVER LOTS OF PICS BUT NEED HELP. PLEASE POST

    I think that 6 TABLESPOONS of Big Bloom is way too much - you're probably running close to 1200 ppm - do you have a ppm meter? The pH will change depending on many factors. Generally, I let my solution find the "sweet spot" where it stabilizes, and I don't chase it. 6.4 might be a touch high...

    First Time DWC Grow EVER LOTS OF PICS BUT NEED HELP. PLEASE POST

    Nice setup - I can tell you did your research - +rep for that! Foxfarms has a feeding schedule that you can follow located here: http://www.foxfarmfertilizer.com/hydrofeed.pdf They recommend 1 teaspoon Grow Big and 2 teaspoons Big Bloom per gallon for cuttings, for a ppm of around 800. The...

    My First Bubbleponic grow

    Amen to that! That's one of the problems with doing a ScrOG in Bubbleponics...the suckers grow so fast you can't keep up with them! I personally believe you almost have to do some form of training to maximize the light in low light-intensity situations (i.e. CFL's or 250 - 400 watt HID)...

    StgeneZiz Round 2. WW + BW Cfl Bubbleponix grow closet!

    Them girls are looking sexy! I've used the Lucas Formula (Bloom and Micro) with good success in previous grows, but some strains just need more N I guess. I've moved away from the Lucas Formula now...back to using all three components.

    8 BubbleHeads start 12/12

    They actually stretched quite a bit, I just did a lot of training in the screens to fill them up - more sideways training then up and down. I've included a picture of where they were when I flipped and a picture of one of the branches beneath the canopy. You can see that the main branch has...

    8 BubbleHeads start 12/12

    They were already showing sex when I flipped (I use 18/6) and it's actually been 2 1/2 weeks since I flipped. This has probably been the most perfect grow I've ever had (except for losing a seedling at the beginning). The PPP are loving life and growing as fast or faster than anything I've grown...

    8 BubbleHeads start 12/12

    Freakin' awesome grows going on here! I don't know if I qualify, but I started 12/12 two weeks ago. They've pretty much stopped stretching and are just starting to bud. So far, almost everything is going perfectly as planned. It's hard to see, but there's countless bud sites in there - all...

    My First Bubbleponic grow

    Yes, just like the picture in the link I gave you. Put them in a seperate container that has enough water/H2O2 solution to come to about an inch or so below the tops of the pots. You want to soak all of the root system, but don't let the water reach the base of the plants. Hopefully, this...

    My First Bubbleponic grow

    The smell is proably coming from the bacteria being harbored in the hydroton in the pots. You should probably give the pots an H2O2 bath as well. Look at this, post number 8 under over-watering, to see what I'm talking about...

    My First Bubbleponic grow

    Fuck, those roots have got bacterial slime on them. I hate to say it, but you're on the verge of loosing these plants. You might as well get real aggressive with the H2O2 in my opinion...

    My First Bubbleponic grow

    That's right, I'm saying two TABLESPOONS per gallon, and this is with the fresh nutrient solution that you will be growing in. You need to be a little more aggressive to control your infestation in my opinion. If you're worried about the H2O2 solution harming your plants, Ed Rosenthal...

    The BubbleHead Gang

    Looks like they are just orientating themselves to the light to me, bending over and twisting the leaves to get the most light possible. Probably means they aren't getting the ideal amount of light in this case.

    Stupid Newbie Veg Question. Hydroponic

    Well, basically you count the number of leaves up from the base of the plant - I do not count the little round leaves and the first leaves with one blade - and top above that. Below is a picture from my current grow where I topped for 8 branches. I topped above the 6th set of leaves - I...

    My First Bubbleponic grow

    Yeah, man, your roots are shutting down and the plant is drowning, probably because of a pathogen attack in low dissolved oxygen (DO) water conditions.. The reason it is only happening with the smaller plants (so far) is probably because the bigger plants are more established and able to ward...

    The BubbleHead Gang

    Absolutely agree, awesome harvest JonnyB!!! Like I said, I'm only running 800-900 ppms. This is the first grow where I'm trying just one reservoir change. I just got done with an overnight flush using plain pH'd water and Clearex. The flush water started at 90ppm last night, and ended at...
