And as for the flushing procedure....I just use twice the amount of water (2:1 ratio), (i.e. 1 gal pot gets flushed with 2 gal of water)??? My only other question, and I know this might sound stupid but after all I'm still a n00b. Do I use PH balanced water to flush the pots??? Or could I use...

Sweet! Thanks guys for all your suggestions. :blsmoke:

I didn't even think about the pet stores and such, cool. So, after I adjust the water, do I just go about my normal watering schedule or should I flush my plants until the soil is the right PH level???

Hello people, I just discovered today that my soils PH level is at 8.0 maybe even a little more. I've got 8 plants and each one is reading the same. What would be the correct way to go about lowering the PH level??? I don't have access to PH up or PH down but I'm about to go to the...

Okay, if I don't have any PH up or PH down, do I use white wine vinegar to bring the PH level down???

Thanks brother... Yeah, it's city water and I believe chlorine is the reason for letting it sit out, if I'm not mistaken. However, I'm wondering if there are any other steps to be taken in order to clean the water???

I'm wondering if there is a way to clean and PH my tap water so that it can be used for my babies? Bottled water is getting a bit expensive :blsmoke:.

Actually, that pic is from Ca(Calcium) deficiency, which from what I understand now, is caused because of low P(Phosphorous). Okay, so what your saying is make sure the ph level is right and if not then adjust them accordingly? The water I use normally is between 6.8 and 7.0. Should I drop this...

So if I add some nutes that are high phosphorous to the water I use for the soil should reverse this effect???

The ballast is remotely located on the outside, on top of the cab and yes I have a couple of intake fans and a couple of exhaust fans. As for the strain, most of them are AK47 with two blueberry I believe. I'm trying to build a cool tube for the light so that I have a little bit better control...

Hello people, I'm still in the vegging stage, 7 weeks now. I switched from fluorescents a week ago to a 600W HPS. However, I'm curious about adding my fluorescents back into the mix. I'm wondering if anybody else has tried this combo and if so what was your experience??? Advantages or...

Well, I believe I'm going to take a stab at building my own cool tube :hump:.

Anybody???

I was thinking something along the lines of the ones that are coming from the main stem??

Hello people, My babies have been growing like crazy and some of the upper fan leaves are getting huge! So much in fact that they are covering some of the branches. Would it be okay to remove some of these fan leaves in order to get more light to the branches in question???
