It depends on what type of nutrients you're feeding them, what frequency and amount and the TDS of your irrigation water and when they were last repotted. There's no hard and fast rules - if you get a build up of chemical based salts - you need to flush them - that doesn't necessarily mean...

Hi Doug, welcome to the site dude. Okay, here's what to do. As soon as you can, get a slightly larger pot, get some decent quality potting soil - something like a Multipurpose compost with good % of peat content - and repot your plant as far up that stem as you can. It's a bit leggy, but...

Hey Mango, welcome to... nah that'll just get me into trouble :)

What are the spectral outputs of those do you know?

Amazing how much people fret about ph, yet totally ignore the EC and TDS of their irrigation water that can cause way more problems than out of whack ph in a soil grow. I don't know how many more times I have to say the same thing before people start to understand what it means - soil buffers...

Use the 'wet/dry' method. Feel the weight of a fully watered pot and then feel the weight of a dry pot. When the pot feels light again - water it again. Don't stick your fingers into the soil, you'll damage roots, and if your hands aren't clean you can start introducing harmful pathogens and...

Drew, it depends entirely on which lamp you have. Sun Glo make daylight bulbs for terraniums that can also be used for plant growth - but it does depend on which one you have.

You didn't TCG, and it was wrong of me to have taken my anger out on you. I'll happily answer your question in pm - away from the meddling fuckwits this site seems to possess in large quantities.

Flora Nova is a bloom nutrient at 4-8-7, which should be fine. What levels are you feeding at? Unless you give me the information I need - I can't help you.

I'm done giving people advice on this site for some numpty to come along and jump on me for it. I'm sick to death of people jumping on every single fucking word I say. I'm fucking fed up with it and I've had enough. If you suffer because of it - tough shit - thank Beenthere. Do what you...

Why don't you ask Beenthere, he seems to think he knows everything.

What a shame, what a beautiful plant. Hard to say exactly from just a picture, would need more background information really, but it looks like salt buildup. I can't advise you on anything until I know more about what you've been doing. What stage in flowering is it? What water do you...

I don't give a shit VirginHarvester - do what you like - use what you like.

I never said he should go organic, as usual you twist peoples words and meanings. I suggested he should consider making a choice - grow organically or not. There are advantages to be had from growing organically and disadvantages for growing chemically - I didn't see you explain either of...

The nutrients contained within organic sources are not immediately available to the plant and it depends a lot on the microbial activity of the soil as to how efficiently and quickly they're chelated into plant useable forms.

Oh really? Then why do some go out of their way to grow organically then? Seems stupid to me to use organics and shove nasty chemical salts in with it - you get the advantages of neither and the disadvantages of both. But as with everything else on here - each to their own.

I think the first thing you need to decide is whether you're growing organically or not.

Clearly they do - because they're producing them as a commercial seed and claiming you'll get 100% female plants from them. If they don't have that knowledge then they're liars aren't they? Who said anything about stabilising via breeding, backcrossing etc and removing the hermaphrodite...

This isn't quite right I'm afraid kp. Chlorophyll in chloroplasts use light in a chemical reaction to split Co2 and H2o and recombine them to make sugar, which is used as a food source by plant cells to fuel metabolism. 6(H2O) + 6(CO2) = C6H1206 (sugar) 6O2 (Oxygen) You can't just increase...

Skunky The problem with them is as you've highlighted here - it's the increased risk in getting a hermaphrodite plant that you don't spot and manages to pollinate all your plants if you don't spot it in time. There is an increased risk of that happening when using feminised seeds, unless you...
