    Rockwool cubes

    I used 4" cubes on my first grow, and I found they held too much water and I was getting some ram's horning....my next grow, I switched to 3" cubes placed in a pot half full of hydroton, then the rockwool, then more hydroton, and I have not had any issues since doing so. I grow using ebb&flow...

    Opinions, please!!!

    I have 7 ice plants going (26 days from seed) and 6 of them are doing good. One started out a little twisty, but it has grown out of it. There is another one that is REALLY twisted. It has broader leaves than it should, with the stem attached to the leaf all the was to the base of the stem, it...

    whats happening to this plant??

    If it is not nute burn, try moving it out of the grow tent...I had a hydrofarm habitat that killed several plants, which was a known grow tent problem.......they turned yellow, then brown, then crinkled up, then died......also, when they were seedlings they were light, light green, which is not...

    Quick Question

    I suggest to induce flowering at 12" (about 4 or 5 weeks) and flower for 8 to 12 weeks, depending on the strain. My last grow took 16 weeks and 5 days from the day I planted the seeds. It was an indica; sativas take longer.

    AN Sweet Leaf

    I used AN Sweet Leaf in my last grow (4 white widows) and I THINK it enhanced flavor/aroma some.....not drastic, but enough that I used it again this grow. I am growing Ice from 420 seeds. The plants are 26 days from seed, and about 5" tall with 4 nodes, and they STINK. I have grown this strain...

    Al B. FAQt

    Al, since you are the resident expert on SoG, wanted to ask you a question......I am growing in a 4x4 ebb & flow w/40 gal. res, 3" rockwool/hydroton medium, under a 400 watt HID light (MH veg/HPS flower) and three 42 watt CFL's (450 watts actual??). I have all factors (temps, RH, VPD, nutes)...

    Bloom Additives, What do you think?

    They sound great...I use Advanced Nutrients line, and Oooze sounds like Overdrive (by AN) which I think is AMAZING...either way, good luck and enjoy your harvest!

    AN Barricade & pH

    I will try the 70/30 mix...I do have a total breakdown of a water sample from my faucet, so I can now see what the ppm's in my water are......as for using additives, I like them...I feel like I have seen gains with each one I have added, and my scales definitely say so.....it could be just...

    need exact diagnosis of my plant problem

    I agree with bonz......like I have said before...I have cured 90% of my "deficiencies" environmentally (i.e. pH, temp, RH, VPD)...

    whats wrong with this one?

    What lights are you using.....you might want to get more light on them......they look like they would like it.....and maybe a little closer, too.....I have my 400w MH about 16" from the tops and my plants that are that tall have like 5 leaf sets (nodes) and are bushy....they are 21 days from seed.

    Plants Dying, Need Your Help!!- Lots Of Pics

    Not trying to be argumentative, but why would you want your plants to stretch?? I keep my light as close to my plants as they can stand to optimize lumens and to keep my plants short and busy....I like 10" plants with 12 nodes.......not 2' plants with 8 or 9......I would strongly suggest some...

    Mutant Ice

    I have 7 ice plants going right now, 20 days from seed, 400w MH, ebb & flow, AN 3 part + additives @ ppm 400, light is 14" from top of canopy.....5 of the plants are lush, green and looking awesome......the other two are interesting......on was a mutant from sprouting....it has now begun growing...

    Look What's wrong

    First off...relax. They look ok. The nute burned leaves will eventually curl up and fall off, they will not return. Oh well...as long as new growth looks healthy (it does) and your roots look great. BUT.....you do not want your roots to soak in water w/o oxygenation....go out to a department...

    Look What's wrong

    It is nute burn, most likely. Flush the plants and lower your ppm's, and if no meter, then add fresh RO water to your res before you pH it. Also, keep your pH between 5.5 and 6.0 in hydro. 7.5 or 7.0 is way too high for marijuana in any growing style I am aware of. We really need more info to...

    AN Barricade & pH

    I grow under 400w HID, 25 gallon res, ebb & flow, AN nutes. My last grow I used micro-grow-bloom with bud blood, big bud, carbo load, sweet leaf, voodoo juice, piranha, tarantula, sensizym, and overdrive. I use RO water. I would add my nutes to my res, and add 7.5 ml of AN pH down, and I would...

    PH RO water

    My Hanna pH meter says right on it DO NOT PLACE ELECTRODE IN DISTILLED OR DEIONIZED WATER.........nothing about RO, and since it is no longer pure when nutes are added, nuted water is no longer RO, distilled, de-ionized, or dangerous to use.
