    Yellow leaf mobile deficiency help.

    Definitely, they were droopy after so I put it on a stand to let the air circulate to the bottom of the smart pot and upped the temp a few degrees to get water and nutes moving. Perked right up this morning and are getting proper green colours. One good way to tell what is going on if there...

    Yellow leaf mobile deficiency help.

    I have recently had a problem similar where my plant was showing all sorts of deficiencies. I phd my water and it was just under 8. I flushed my soil and it was coming out at 5.2. I flushed with phd water at 6.7ish until it was stable coming out and sitting around the ppm of the water. I...

    Deficiencies or Toxicity? Or just a pH problem.

    Did another pH'd flush and it came in a little low, but I measured the run-off and got 250ppm (water is about 130). Then ran another gallon and got 178 ish. I think she is just starving...

    stressed out new grower looking 4 help!!!please!!!

    For such a room, you might want to consider LED lighting. For small closet grows a single 400-1000w hid isn't going to break the bank, but when you start getting up to 8 lights, the electricity quickly climbs. Also, depending on your heat and ventilation potential... with such lights, you...

    1 led light or 2 for autoflowers

    Basically, when you start to flower you should be using almost double the light for flowering plants. With HID a 200w veg will want a 400w flower. However, if your led is more than the plant can effectively use, then it should use the rest during flowering when it needs more. You can mitigate...

    Need a little help with my plant (nutrient burn or deficiency?)

    I never used nutes with a pot that size. My lower leaves started dying. I transplanted and all my problems went away. 3 weeks later and I am getting deficiencies, time to start feeding. I found that a rootbound plant gives strange symptoms. Move to a bigger pot after flushing, transplanting...

    Deficiencies or Toxicity? Or just a pH problem.

    Moisture stress as in overwatering (I need to water a little less than normal because of the LEDs) Humidity that is too high and the plant can't get rid of water easily. Airflow under the canopy to move excess moisture from the plants. I tested the runoff after my pH flush and it was sitting at...

    Deficiencies or Toxicity? Or just a pH problem.

    I never did a preflush. My runoff used be really low then I flushed a bunch of times and my runoff is about 0.5 ph lower than my water going in (I heard this is normal). I might have to pick up some calmag, but the fert has just about everything in it unless there is just not enough.

    Deficiencies or Toxicity? Or just a pH problem.

    Hello, First time grower here. Having some troubles with my plant. I have spent hours and hours reading different sites on troubleshooting, but I would rather get some direct feedback. She isn't that big because I learned about being root bound the hard way with a little clay planter and...

    Carbon filter to heavy for tent

    If someone likes this, and knows a little about wood, you could always go out and buy some 2x2 or 2x4's and a few screws (please not nails...) and put something like this together.

    Ventilation - help stealth grow

    From my exp, where ever you are vegging will smell a little bit and wherever you are flowering will be quite smelly. You could daisy chain your grow areas (watch for light leaks into flowering), but you would have to rig something up to suck the air from your veg tent to the flower tent, then...

    Closet help

    Also, the fluctuating temperatures create a problem. You can control interior temps a lot easier and that gives you a more reliable grow environment. If it is negative pressure and you have an air tight intake, you shouldn't have any scent leaks.

    Closet help

    Air circulation, if you have heat problems should exchange the air in the room no more than 3-5 times per minute. If you don't have heat problems, you are looking at about once every 3-5 min to keep co2 levels comfortable for the plants. Your 190 cfm fan, without any extras can exchange it 2x...

    DIY Grow Tent 2x4x5.5

    I have heard that with adequate air circulation and ventilation, that shouldn't be a problem, but I was thinking about it just for more reflectivity. I only built it this strong to make it easy to take apart and move if need be. Take off the tape and a few screws, and the top and bottom just...

    DIY Grow Tent 2x4x5.5

    Intro: I don't have a lot of room to work with at the moment, so I hung a 450w (215w) led in a rather large closet. The walls are plywood. My plants, cannabis and atropa belladonna, have been doing pretty good so I figured "who needs a tent". The more I read, the more I realized that even a...

    Light brown tips after I switched to LED

    I have a 450w LED and it is drawing roughly 215w. The manual says 16-24 inches away. With your light I would think a minimum of 18 or 20.

    Interplant Diseases

    Hello, I am currently growing atropa belladonna. I have been since the summer, now. I started a cannabis plant about a month ago. I have noticed spots on the leaves of the belladonna plants, usually starting around the tip or the edges of the leaf, that could either be a calcium deficiency...
