I change weekly for several reasons: 1. Using multiple formulas (fox farms 3 liquids, 3 solubles, and floranectar) I have no idea what ratio of nutes they are consuming. So rather than guess to the correct ratio to add back, I simply change it out. 2. One of my nutrients contains many organic...

Towards the end of those pics (the 11th one) it looks like you might have some sort of fungal issue going on, but it could just be the flash from the camera making it look powdery white. Also, those plants are really stretched out with some serious node spacing...how far away is your light? What...

Change your h2o and nutes every week. Get your EC meter soon, it is essential. Your water is excellent quality for hydro, most tap ppm is around 300-600. RO, in my opinion, is useless and an expensive investment. Also, buying 10 gallon of h2o every week is going to get old (and expensive). Just...

My opinion is that when growing in hydro/aero the plant develops so fast that sometimes it outgrows its self. I think the leaves grow so fast that they are too heavy for their stems. I think it is completely normal , and also a condition of development of larger fan leaves. In development they...

That 10x10 should have been 8x8 for hid and 7x7 for hps..my bad I'm high as fuck. Here is the link I use for every question I have about lights and ballasts. http://www.specialty-lights.com/plant-grow-faq.html#area But rest assured, my advice was pretty accurate, and given my experience, I...

Ok, first things first. You absolutely can NOT do hydro with soil or any "living" medium (in your case peat moss). You should start seeds and cuttings in rockwool or something similar. Put that in the center of the net pot and surround it with hydroton (little clay rocks). This will ensure that...

Thanks man. To check genetics you can use Google, or any reputable seed bank. There is a plethora of information at your disposal.

My first thought was it was root bound. I think the general "accepted" rule for lighting is 100w dedicated to each plant. Or, if you gave hps or mh in your grow area you can assume that 400w will cover a 4x4 foot area, a 600w will do 6x6, and you guessed it 1000w will do 10x10 foot.just...

True..I didn't even look at how low his lighting was, just looked at the pic. Good catch midwest.

I have 340 ppm out of the faucet. I fill up buckets and let them sit open for a few days to evaporate the chlorine out, retest and is usually down to 320 in 2 days. This water has always worked perfectly for me. I pull the quarterly water test results and check for boron, cal, mag, fluoride, and...

how deep is the container? How old is she? Looks like she might need to be transplanted into something to allow her roots to develop bigger so she can eat more. Though, if you think it's big enough, you could try to slowly start increasing the nutes a little bit.

Not gonna lie, I am quick to supplement with a chemical nute if it looks like problems are on the way. The way I keep nute lockout from happening is to use a lot of beneficial microbes (microbe brew from the bush doctor line which is fox farms). I also use sledgehammer from ff (1 drop per...

I think he meant using a sump (pond) pump to drain the water out of your Rez? I would probably just buy a wet/dry shop vac and use that to quickly drain the rez) I'm not entirely sure, but you can get a good h2o pump for your Rez for about $50 on amazon. I myself have never heard of air mixing...

I feel ya. I guess I just thought if he was having problems with nutes that it would be the easiest (albeit not the cheapest) solution. I didn't think about cost (well a little, which is why I suggested na bicarb instead of some of the more expensive buffers that can be added to soil to help...

Your welcome, let me know if you have any questions buddy...and dont forget to rep of someone helps you out...

Ok, here is the thing. Tin foil is not going to work on your rez. It is notorious for making hot spots that can reflect back (kind of like a magnifying glass) and burn parts of the plants. What you can do is go to wal mart, go to the camping section, and look for emergency blankets. They are...

Make sure to post a pic of your edited trichomes, let us know what worked incase we run into the same problem sometime.

Yeah, The every day person doesnt usually have a need for it, but if someone is having problems maintaining ph/nute concentration by just measuring them out, then they may benefit quickly by simply using a $40 meter. There for a min I thought you were dismissing my advice as bogus, when I was...

That green growth is algae and is not a good thing, as it could quickly cause root rot, or even clog your pump and misters. Your rez should be completely light proof to prevent algae growth; spray paint it black a couple of times, cover it with mylar/reflective insulation. To answer your...
