Is she underdeveloped for having been flowering for 2 1/2 weeks? I noticed the root issue a day or two after I flipped her to 12/12 and I'm not sure if between the rot the nutrient switch and the shock of having H2O2 added to the mix I might have set her back. I only vegged her for three weeks...

I just finished draining and filling the res with nutes and H2O2. There weren't as many floaters as last time, and I'm pretty sure I've got 98% of Debra's roots out of the mix. For those of you who haven't read my other threads, I started this grow with Fox Farms trio and promptly switched...

Did you just upgrade the three bulbs you have on the plant, or did you add some more? Those CFL's are pretty worthless if they're further than a couple inches away and your plant is already pretty tall.

Per the MSDS on H2O2 ((http://purehealthsystems.com/h2o2-msds.html)) it can take between 8 hrs and 20 days for Hydrogen Peroxide to break down into H2O and O (both which can be used by a hydroponic system). What is the active ingredient in DM Zone, and what is it's half-life? I'm not trying to...

No worries at all. Just keep in mind that if you aren't home when the lights go out and you left the door open then you could have a problem because light would be getting in. So you're creating more work for yourself by having to open and close the door manually. A good exhaust fan could...

Huh? Maybe I'm confused here.... Are you worried about light leaking OUT when the lights are on, or light leaking IN during lights off? Light leaking out isn't a problem at all unless you're trying to keep things stealth. The problem is if light gets in during lights-off time. That can...

Checked the res yesterday and found that my airstone had knocked a lot of leftover roots from Debra loose. I did a swap for fresh water and H2O2, and I'll do one more change today or tomorrow back to water/nutes/H2O2. Keeping my fingers crossed. Here's a pic of the reservoir today, and one...

Well I separated them day before yesterday. ((https://www.rollitup.org/aerogardeners/410926-have-pull-male-today-how.html)) I was as gentle as I could be with Crystal. She seems to be enjoying the extra room. :) I checked the res yesterday and found that my airstone had knocked a lot of...

Well, if you plan on upgrading your setup soon then I'd go with a proper size for the bigger space. If not, I'd go with a size appropriate for my temporary space and either buy a second one and/or upgraded when I expanded. That's just me though. :) Whatever you do, try and post some pics of...

Were you told that by someone trying to sell you an HPS? From what I've observed a 400w is just fine for a personal grow, but it depends on how many plants you intend on growing and the square footage of your grow area. Are you going to continue growing in your bathroom? The 1000w at...

I've heard about keeping the male cut way back but alive so that you don't have to separate out the roots, but the idea kinda scared me. It seems like there would be a lot of upkeep required in keeping it alive but not producing pollen, and shitty consequences if you failed. It might be a...

Thanks guys! I was able to separate more by hand than I expected by kind of "fluffing" the roots around underwater while gently pulling them apart with my fingers. The couple of cuts I had to make with scissors were mainly to the male plant's roots. Once they were separated I put the female...

Few strains are naturally purple, but there are a few exceptions. What are your temps? Low temps can cause purple colors as well.

And no, I'm not trying to start a CFL v. HPS debate. There is no comparison; HPS are far superior. I'm just saying that for a single plant being grown in a bathroom, under a single CFL... well from what I've seen even $20 worth of Wal-Mart CFL's would improve its situation 110%. And the...

Although it is generally agreed that HPS lights produce higher-quality denser buds, many people have done successful small scale cfl grows. The trick is that CFL's need to be placed all around the plant due to their lack of penetration where as with an HPS bulb you can get away with just...

Are they still in the water that had the bennies + Zone or did you make up fresh water with Zone alone? And is there any improvement since yesterday? I sure hope it works out for you dude, that root rot is nasty stuff!

I'm screwed, aren't I? :sad: Well, here goes nothing. I'll separate what I can by hand and then go in with the scissors. I wonder if it's better to cut more of the female's roots (since they can grow back) in order to ensure I don't leave excessive dead matter in the res, or to treat her...

Thanks guys. I feel kinda silly putting pictures of two little plants on the internet when there are so many TOP-NOTCH grows posted here. But we all gotta start somewhere and I just want to see if doing this regularly (and slightly bigger) could work for me. So I guess for now Crystal...

Hey guys I have a small Aerogarden grow going, so far so good. ((https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-growing/410802-dees-1st-grow-aerogarden-bagseed.html)) Out of my two plants (Debra/Crystal) it looks like only Crystal is female. So Debra's gotta go! Their root systems really got intertwined this...

And the plants as of today. I'm gonna have to pull Debra tomorrow. :(
