That feed is for flowering. Can you pick up some grow nutes? Order online perhaps? You will just need PLAIN water NO NUTES for those small plants. Also make sure water level is 1" UNDER the netpots for the first two weeks then lower to 2". Amazon search for Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Grow or Ebay...

Do you intend to keep 4 plants in 6 gallons of water? You want about 2.25 gallons of water per plant. Sorry also I think it is pre mature for HPS right now. You want that thing to grow not flower. If you can swing 20$ walmart has 6500k shop lights you can leave 3 inches above the plant 24/7...

there will usually be a fluctuation in pH over 24hrs when growing just embrace it. I find it best to PH down/up every 48 hrs or when you top off with fresh water to keep things under 6.5 and above 5. Hope that helps

Ideal PPM for tap water is 0 - 300. 450 has a ton of impurities! It's almost thresh hold. 500 and above is REAL HARD / Bad water. If your water is that high in PPM out of faucet I would almost want to boil the water a day before I use it. Make sure you add some H202 to kill bacteria. Also you...

Just be careful with both methods. Topping stunts growth for about a week and drives you crazy when you don't see any growth happening right away. Bending Tie Down can cause a break in the stem. You have to almost start from germination to keep things trained as the stems get hard and tough real...

How are you testing ppm? 1000ppm just seems way high for week 4. You want to only be around 500 to 700ppm tops. Discounting the ppm out of the water. So if your tap is around 200 lets say you want your ppm/meter to read 700-900ppm. because 900ppm (water & nutes) - 200ppm (water) = 700ppm (nutes)...

As far as going by ML I don't think of it that way. I uses PBP always and love it. I go 1/2 Tablespoon per/Gal for 1 week after sprouting. Then I bump it up to 1.5 Tbps for the next 2 weeks. Then bumping it up to 2-3 Tbps depending on how the plant is looking and taking on the nutes for the rest...

Not true. I do NOT have any root rot issues whatsoever. I do not use H202. It is simple. Lightproof tanks lead to clean rez's. Most algae and fungus need a light source to grow. Make sure your air stone is clean or get a new one and light proof the tank. Clean all the crud out or get a new dark...

H202 will be fine with any nutes really. However you don't really necessarily need it unless you know you are running a non-lightproof tank. How often do you change the rez? You are going to have to cut away those rotten roots and let the plants grow some new ones. You don't want that crap in...

IF roots are doing ok then I would not mess with it too much. How are your air stones/bubbles looking? If they are working then I wouldn't sweat it.

Hrmmm Any way you can order some online? Amazon or Ebay? If not then I guess you can take your chances with MG. I assume you have no way of checking PH / EC? It will be a learning curve and you may lose that plant or two in the process w/out knowing all that stuff. Trial and Error is how I...

So I am Blue Dreamin :blsmoke: and decided to give my 2 centavos~ YOU WANT CHEAP GROWING MEDIA? Get a sponge at the 1$ dollar store near you im not kidding. They are cheap and easily replaceable if needed.? I have successfully just poured (Top-Fed) (I guess) distilled water through the sponge...

Demz lookin gud!

? He will be fine with 150HPS in a small space? However I would add a 150 CFL for side lighting once the plant gets bigger. It will help yield in the end. Are we talking 1 or 2 plants? If anymore you will definitely need a stronger HPS.

Hmmm To the bottom or to the roots? Do you notice your nutes clinging to the roots at all?

Im not a big fan of GH Nutes, but I do use the PH Up/Down. Roots look good also. Roots do like a small slow current w/bubbles, but in pic 10 it looks almost torrential. Can you slow the bubble current down a bit? I could be wrong, but it looks a little volatile from the pic. Lots of bubbles is...

AK47 leaves sometimes look like they are banana-ing out, but that is just the way it grows. If they were straight leaves and are now becoming banana like then I would check for heat stress and PH levels.

So what you are saying is you have some clones and some bag seed and are worried about them being in the same water rez? I would do bag seed separate from clones as if it turns out they are male you would be safer not having to untangle/cut roots later down the road.

I like the circular airstones if you are going with airstone at all. Airstones from petsmart suck ass and break too easily.

^^^^ Exactly. usually the nute and added vits will stick to roots making things look scary especially after a rez change, but the color/vits should dissolve from the roots over a few days. No smell = ok. Smell and Slime = no good.
