Almost looks like spider mites to me (or what I've heard they can do)... @ least on the widow pics. First thing I would do is inspect your leaves both top AND UNDERSIDE w/ a magnifying glass & see if you spot any mites. Then you can either confirm or eliminate the possibility of mites. If it...

I agree w/ the hand method. or better yet use a thermometer. if you have a thermometer shoot for 75-70 degrees F. If you don't have one use the hand method. if you feel good heat off the light w/ you hand just above plants then it's too close. If you don't have a reflector & cooling duct fan...

I would think the soil that will inevitably mud up & drain into your reservoir mixing w/ your nutes & clogging up your pump would be bad. I would say rockwool to start cuttings in then all clay pebbles for medium would be a much better way to go.

Actually as an added note... can anyone back this jello thing up. I'm thinking about it and in my mind I would think if you add jello then CO2 woudl just be released as normal until the gelantin took effect & then either restricted the CO2 alltogether or didn't. No offense Potlike but I am...

I'm still not sold on the yeast. I would love to hear from someone what a packet of yeast + 3/4 cup of sugear & some water (& maybe even jello) will produce & what it will cost vs. dry ice. I've still yet to try it & when I do I will share my findings on how long dry ice will last. As far...

If you clone you should get the exact same genetics. which means yes you will get triple nodes on your other plants unless those triple nodes didn't come from genetics but rather due to so sort of other environmental stress or something, but i would say that's unlikely unless you live next to a...

Sounds like you're gettting a handle on things. & i don't have a clear idea of what you got goin on but here's what I would suggest if you haven't already done these things that is... #1 get your ballast(s) outside the grow room, they produce heat. #2 If you light reflector(s) are not sealed...

That's what is being used for the grow i'm helping with. So far just pro grow & a drop or 2 of Super thrive. Do you use anything else? & what size pots do you use & how often do you water? Right now I think i super saturatied the gals on the x-plant. I think they used up all the nutes but the...

bump. still lookin for any recommendations for nutes

here's the set-up... 1000 Watt switchable balast, so 1000 MH for veg, then 1000 HPS for fruit Medium is a "soiless" mix (which looks just like soil, lol). But using 2 gal grow bags with a mixture that is 2 parts Pro-Mix & 1 part Fafard #3B. Add to that 1 or 2 handfuls of Perlite. So there ya...

I was thinking of dry ice for a bit of increased CO2 until next time around when a proper system should be affordable. I just don't see the $50 a day? unless you are looking @ prices of ordering online where you might spend a ton on special shipping. In my area dry ice can be purchased @ the...

True.... the 250 watt HPS will be much better light for flowering also. As for the heat you ideally want to put a reflector on that 250 watt hps that is set up for cooling. One that has a lens in bottom & openings on either side to attach some flex ducting. then you can get a cheap duct fan @...

bump. anyone?

i would say w/ 2 27watt cfl's & a 150 watt HPS you could just about do a very small 2 stage area. you could use the 2 cfl's for seedings (if you have access to clones that would be Sooo much better) & use the 150 HPS for flowering. you could raise 4 clones to about 12" tall & then throw them...

Hi all, i'm helping my friend w/ his first grow. it's technically my 2nd grow but might as well call it my first because my 1st was very amauturish & done over 12 years ago on just standard flourescents. Anyway, trying to do it up right & got a 1000watt light goin w/ a yieldmater II reflector...

post some new pics in a couple days. Hope the tops w/ new growth start looking better. If that's the case then I would say all is good. hope they straighten out for ya :)

Well IMO more info is needed. You have a 250 watt MH. but are you using a reflector & if you have a reflector is it set up w/ a tempered glass bottom & a 6" (or 4" or whatever size) opening to hook up a duct fan? if so are you using a duct fan? all of this matters. if your reflector is set up so...

i would take your $80 from slots & invest in a ph meter (or test kit w/ drops) & a light timer. A cheap timer will run you about $10 and a Ph meter about $20 (cheaper if you get the kit w/ drops). good luck!

If I didn't see the top growth starting to straighten itself out & look normal than I think I would consider scrapping it & starting over. It's possible i guess that they could just look funny but potency will be fine but i wouldn't count on it. How's the growth rate?

I'm not the most experienced grower there is but from what i know you ideally want to have around 50 watts per square foot & 7000 lumens per square foot. So the short answer is no. you don't have enuf light to grow 1 plant much less 4. @ least if you are planning on harvesting anything from it...
