    Roots won't grow out of net pots - Flood & Drain Method

    This actually just turned into an emergency. After checking the plants today I noticed my fears have come true. Just like the other plant that died, my main plant's food leaves from the main stem are all drooped. This occurred overnight so I can only think of two things that could cause this...

    Nutrient Uptake Question

    How is that possible? Is it the strain? I would have thought there would be some sort of nutrient lock out around that point. Do your plants seem normal/healthy at that level of ph? I know that a ph of 7 is neutral but there has to be some reason why learning material tells us to keep the nutes...

    Roots won't grow out of net pots - Flood & Drain Method

    Greetings, I have a flood & drain setup where the reservoir the the plants sit in is not covered in any way, when the solution is pumped up from the lower reservoir you can see it. I don't seem to have too much of an algae problem yet but I am concerned about the plants becoming root bound...

    Nutrient Uptake Question

    I have been going back and forth on whether to simply listen to those that say to have PH in high 5.0 values if dealing with hydro and mid 6.0 values when dealing with soil. I thought a simple nutrient uptake chart that shows which nutrients are available at what ph level would help, but two...

    How long should roots be submerged

    That actually does help a bit. I use GH nutrients which could fall under cheap, but then it may be the most widely used so maybe it's because of the quality or ease of using the product. Thanks for the contribution

    How long should roots be submerged

    Greetings, I have attempted a few different methods of growing and I have now reached the ebb & flow. I am manually performing the flooding and draining by having net pots in rubbermaid containers and filling them so the solution is flush with the top of the rockwool cubes. The solution sits...

    Plant going limp and I don't know why.

    Yeah, I'm not sure what else it could be. I didn't know that too small of a container could kill the plant. When reading the bibles it says it stunts growth, but I think telling the reader that it will kill their plant they'll make sure it doesn't happen. Thank You very much sir

    Plant going limp and I don't know why.

    Hey. I opened the cab this morning and I noticed that two of my plants are going limp. The sunleaves and tips to the branches are limp as if it's approaching death. When I pick up the dixie cup that they are in there not dried out. These plants have been in the cups for 1 1/2 weeks and I...

    Good to know. Thank you for the info i didn't know it would grow so quickly

    If using flood and drain can resevior be clear?

    In order to see the progress of the nute solution intake, and since the roots arn't kept in this container, and if the solution is changed every 7-10 days, could the resevior be transparent? I have seen hydro systems and reseviors to buy online with no tops so maybe it's ok. Thanks

    This is weird, clone goes limp after first night in flower.

    Doesn't that suck? When I would think of SOG I thought people would simply root hell of clones (maybe 8-12) then put them in the flower. I was thinking of that though but since the roots came out the bottom I thought it definitely survived. I put it back in veg which may shock it but there is no...

    This is weird, clone goes limp after first night in flower.

    ok everything was fine with it while in veg. I just got it though (2 days in veg total). Roots were out the bottom of a 2" rockwool cube. This morning, after putting the clone in flower yesterday, I got up to check it and everything was limp. It has been about 7 hours since then and it is still...

    Recommendations for stabilzing pH in hydro?

    Chabnok thank you sir. That is the answer for what I should do. Simply drain the old solution and pre-mix new solution in an extra bucket then allow pressure/gravity to fill the first bucket back up from the full pre-mixed bucket. The plant doesn't have to move one inch so once you set an lst or...

    Recommendations for stabilzing pH in hydro?

    I have a very basic bucket setup where when I go to change the ph I have to take the plant off to allow easy access to the nutes beneath. Any easy methods that the pros use?
