    wilting after transplant

    I always sprinkle some mycorrhizae powder on the root balls and in the holes. Never seen a plant fazed by the operation.

    Another pest thread

    I have a lone plant in a 4x4. Noticed some bugs a week maybe 10 days ago. Not sure what all I'm dealing with. Mainly whiteflies I think. Maybe a couple thrips. And just today I think I found some spider mites. No webs yet. I continue to remove every leaf with live bugs or eggs on leaf...

    Flush or not to Flush?

    I've been using advanced nutrients for awhile with mostly great results and their feed charts recommend flushing the last week. I'm beginning to suspect this is because the feed charts lean toward overfeeding. Scientific research shows no noticeable difference between flushed or not. Then again...

    Black Friday & 3x3 / 2x4 setup

    Mars hydro eBay store currently running tent sales. 76.00 US for 2x4x6. 3x3x6 for 94.00. No idea about shipping to Europe. Delumee has a decent variable speed vent fan/filter combo at around 120.00 US for a 4" and around 150.00 for 6" on Amazon. Replacement filter cartridges are available at...

    First outdoor grow

    Looking good. A little late in the game for this run but bigger pots would up your game. Also, consider fabric or air pruning pots. The roots will appreciate it.

    Broke two big branches

    Can wrap with soft plant tie wire, pipe cleaners, or whatever you have on hand. I got a huge split at one of the first top sites on a big plant. The plant didn't seem to notice it. I pulled together best I could and wrapped with pipe cleaners. I don't think it hurts them noticeably but suppose...

    Confused about advice in LED watts

    Hyperlite groplanner gp1600m 150w currently on sale at Amazon for 44.10. The best light no one has heard of.

    Spongy Stems

    No pics because there is some distance between us and he's not very tech tech savvy. Doesn't even grasp texting yet. I posted this morning before work. Heat and humidity is what it is. Tent is located on a screened in porch. Planning to take a couple 150w over next visit. Will get pics then.

    Spongy Stems

    Dli has been 35-40 over the last week or so. I had 2 autos sprout about a week before his and his are double the height of mine if not more. I think I'm gonna loan some better lights barring some revelations here. Thanks.

    Spongy Stems

    Helping a friend on his first grow. 3 plants in a 2x4x6. All 3 plants have soft stems. Almost like pinching a soda straw. Bending LST is out of the question. Gave him some silica and a second fan. Never seen this before. They seem to be growing too fast. 5 gal fabric pots, Advanced Nutrients...

    Are these too big to LST?

    And outside in front of God and everybody too.

    Are these too big to LST?

    My daughter brought home a sick, root ball bug infested plant on death's door a few weeks ago. Did what I could for it and not only survived but began to thrive. Wasn't planning to do anything but feed and water it but wound up bending it over. 2nd pic is what it looks like after a week of a 5...

    What’s the best led

    Ok after going to the groplanner site I see the 640w 6-bar light is 450.00, the 800w 8-bar is 600.00. Don't know if they ship free or not. Keep an eye out for Amazon if time permits. They run some pretty good discount coupons on this brand.

    What’s the best led

    Got a steal on a groplanner 640w 6 bar awhile back. Think I wound up shelling out 299 with coupon. Currently not seeing on Amazon anymore. Bars can be easily removed as/if needed. Only gripe is that the dimmer detents in 25% increments, although adding a dimmer controller resolves for full 0-10...

    Help Identifying Yellow Spots

    Maybe no connection but it looks like air inlet vents are closed. 2x2x5 space would need 20 CFM for minimum air change and preferably more. Inadequate air changes would be detrimental but no idea what symptoms would show up first. Happened upon this, although the article is in reference to...

    Should I remove some leaves?

    Id start by removing the lower 1/3 leaves for starters then wait a few days and thin the canopy some more. She has a nice shape for sure.

    Newbie building a system around a ViparSpectra XS1500 light

    To clarify, unless you're planning on two plants, a single 150w would suffice for 1 reasonably sized. plant. Two lights would just be a slight bonus to offset the PPFD falloff as the intensity fades further from center. Currently I'm using 2 150s on one plant but it has a broad canopy. If my...

    Newbie building a system around a ViparSpectra XS1500 light

    It's 150w at 100%. Doubt you'll need to run it or the viparspectra full blast.

    Help with skunk

    Sounds like he may be referring to ph for hydro. Ph for soil grows is usually a little higher. Im not familiar with your soil type so cant say. Maybe i need to educate myself about it. I run happy frog and water around 6.3 has been working well for me. Edit: not seeing any glaring thumbs down...

    Help with skunk

    I think I see stems reddening also which I think can indicate magnesium deficiency. Others here with way more insight than I. Probably best to list all your parameters such as soil, nutes, feed/water frequency with ph ranges, etc. Day/night temps. The more info you can share, the more likely...
