    To Flush or Not to Flush?

    I'm currently about 1 week away from switching my plants to a flowering schedule, and am debating whether or not I need to flush them before starting the flowering nutes. I have not used any nutes at all during veg, mainly because my soil had a good mix and I'm only keeping them in veg for 6...

    2nd Grow - Brown leaf tips... only 2 weeks in

    I just started my 2nd grow 2 weeks ago (indoor, in soil), and am noticing a problem. I have 6 plants, and all but 1 of them have brown tips on the leafs. I'm using water with a pH of 6.8 run through a Brita filter (pH measured after filtration), and soil with a range of 5.5-7 pH. Lights are...

    Digital pH meters - Recommendations?

    Thanks Banditt. I should have specified, but I was hoping to find something a bit cheaper.... is there anything reliable under $50?

    Digital pH meters - Recommendations?

    Does anyone have a recommendation for an easy to use digital pH meter I can get online? I'll use it to measure the pH of runoff from soil, as well as to test the water I use before I feed. Thanks much!

    My 1st Grow - Crystal Pics

    Alright thanks. Just to make sure I'm not crazy though... take a look at these. Is there any amber at all? Hard to get the camera to keep focus....

    My 1st Grow - Crystal Pics

    Yeah that was my take too. I realize there's variation in strains as far as how long it takes a cloudy crystal to turn amber... but does anyone have experience with an estimated range? Am I looking at something like 3 more weeks, or is it possible that it would be less? Thanks in advance.

    My 1st Grow - Crystal Pics

    I'm coming towards the end of flowering (I hope!) of my first grow. I wanted to get some opinions on how the crystals look, and how many days/weeks away from 25-50% amber I am. Any ideas?

    Crystals Shots - 3 Closeups

    Thanks - BTW, I'm going for at least 25% Amber, but no more than half. You think it'll take 3 weeks to get that far?

    Crystals Shots - 3 Closeups

    1st grow... these are 3 shots from the same bud. Any thoughts on how close to ready she is?

    1st Grow - Bud Pics - Ready?

    Okay... however when I zoom in on the trichs, they are about half clear and half cloudy. I'm thinking I should wait until more are cloudy, and some are amber. Any idea on how many days/weeks that could take? I'm headed out of town for 2 weeks. Will that be too long you think?

    1st Grow - Bud Pics - Ready?

    This is my first grow, and I'm not sure if it's close to ready or not. The plant is a sativa, from bag seed. She's been in flowering for about 10-11 weeks. Any thoughts on how much longer to let her stay before harvest?

    Thought my problem was fixed - looks like it's not - please help! (pics)

    Lights are CFL's, warm white, they're not close enough to burn at all. I'm pretty sure now that the pH of my water is too low, so I'm going to use distilled water going forward. When I mix in the nute mix I mentioned I'm going to start using (15/30/15 NPK), I'm going to add a bit of baking...

    Thought my problem was fixed - looks like it's not - please help! (pics)

    Last weekend I posted about a problem, which seemed like was caused by nute burn. On Monday, I flushed my plant with water 3X the size of the container. Until yesterday/today, everything seemed fine (no new problems with any leaves). The new problem is in the pics in this post, and is on...

    Something is wrong - Please help! (pics included)

    Thanks again for all the help. My lights go off for 12 in about 3 hours, so I'm going to hold off until tomorrow when they come on. Any recommendation on whether to use more nutes at all at some point after the flush? If so, how long would you wait?

    Sorry for sounding stupid.... but, in the pot right? Just let the water drain through the holes in the bottom? And this won't drown her?

    Something is wrong - Please help! (pics included)

    Thanks again Riddleme. So just to make sure I got it right - I don't use 9 gallons all at once right? That would drown the plant, no? I gave it about a 1/4 gallon 3 days ago with no nutes, just brita water. If you can clarify how I should administer these 9 gallons (all at once, or spread...

    Something is wrong - Please help! (pics included)

    Riddleme - I flushed with just regular Brita water. I don't know what the pH was. I did a search on here regarding how to flush, but I can't seem to find the right answer. Is distilled water the right to use when flushing? The pot is about 2.5-3 gallons.
