    Alternative to "Blue Max" for DIY Flood and Drain

    https://www.rollitup.org/do-yourself/401668-diy-flood-table.html I want to use this format, but the price of Blue Max makes DIY pretty pointless. Anyone know of an alternative?

    what is wrong with my plants?

    Your either foliar feeding or pests I would say. The ladder is more likely. The little white dots almost look like aphids, but definitely can't be sure.

    yellow spots unsure of what to do...

    Fuck your test kit, get a digital meter. Also I have tried vinegar, people say it works but imo it causes problems. This two things being said something is effecting your plants Mag intake, and I remember when I was using vinegar to lower pH I saw problems like this. I would say flush...

    Please help.

    Neem oil. I pretty much believe neem oil should be in every grow room. Its totally non harmful, and is effective at treated just about everything. Any time I'm suspicious about fungus, or bugs being around I don't even think to spray it. If nothing else it makes my leafs perdy! Dyna-Grow...

    Need help bad... No pic but very detailed explanation of problem and room set up.

    I believe it for sure. I was trying to give the guy a very rough idea of why nutrients combining definitely was not his problem. I hadn't considered the previous point though, definitely a legitimate point.

    lol I think we've all got "that friend". I bought a quart of pH up when I first started a year and a half ago, and its still sitting in a cupboard somewhere lol. Every now and then it gets some use when I'm trying new pH down solutions and they end up way more powerful then I expected.

    Problem with early plant

    Don't feel bad though. I think just about all of us have unloaded 50 bucks on seeds and fucked everyone up. It happens to the best of us, get some practice on swag seeds. Once you've got it done it'll be like second nature.

    Problem with early plant

    Yeah swag seeds are the way to go for your first couple of runs. Its a delicate process and an easy one to fuck up if you don't know what your doing. Put the good seeds on hold for now. As soon as I plant the seeds they are under a light, make sure to cover them up with just a little bit of...

    Problem with early plant

    Something with little to no nutes added, fox farm happy frog served me well when I was first starting out. I mix my own for seedlings. Usually I use about 40% peat moss, 40% vermiculite, and 20% perlite.

    Orange and crispy leaf tips?

    How far away and how powerful is your light. That is definitely some kind of burn. Whether its nute/wind/ or light is a tough call. There's a small chance it could be some kind of pest too have you checked around the lower leaves of the plants for unwanted guests?

    Never once thought of combining nutrients outside of a water solution, that seems to make sense though lol.

    broken branch. please help!

    I dick around with bending way too much and have this problem on a regular basis. I use the bamboo sticks they sell at a lot of plant/hydro stores to prop the branch back into place by tying it to the bamboo with twisty ties. The plant should heal up fairly quickly. It may undergo a bit of...

    light green at top 1.5 weeks into flower

    Pretty normal. If your changing to bloom nutes your plants are getting less nitrogen. This will show up in new leaves first and will start to become very prevalent in older leaves just before harvest.

    Please help.

    Way to big to be pH or a nute deficiency. My guess is its some kind of pest or fungus.

    Also nutes will likely not combine for complicated reason if you don't want to know stop reading here; The roots of most plants absorb nutrients through ion exchange. I don't remember the specifics but the roots eject positively charged ions in order to break the bond soil and water to have...

    A pic says a thousand words, but if I had to guess it is pH issues. How often do you change your res? It sounds like some kind of bacteria is consuming the available O2 in the water and raising the pH. Nutes can get as specific as you want them. All depends on the brand you run. Most intro...

    Problem with early plant

    Two things to add; If you want to save this grow you might have a chance if you do all of the above^^plus add a little bit of soil around the stem so it doesn't topple over. Next time don't use potting soil. Potting soil has nutes in it that upset the natural chemistry of the seed. Seedlings...
