    PH Perfect? More like PH Pain in the A$$

    For my most recent grow, I had to switch to the "PH Perfect" Sensi 2-part from the standard Sensi 2-part. My experience has been less than pleased. It seems that the PH wants to stay put now, but at 6.5.... With the standard stuff I might have to add about 1tbsp of ph down to bring my res to...

    My Hash-Wine experiment.... (I was high, had an idea, and ran with it)

    So, I made bubble-hash with a 3 bag set, and the water was still quite full of goodies. I didn't really feel like filtering further, so I decided to do the following: To the 4 Gallons of Hashy-Water I added: 4 Concentrated Juice Mixes (from the grocer's freezer) 1 5lb bag of sugar (about 10...

    1 plant out of 3 looking sick (Hydroponics)

    I currently have 3 plants started from seed, in a 4x4 flood table, and one of them is turning yellow. The roots look okay, the other two plants look great, just one is looking sick. I am not sure how to approach this as the all of the plants are getting identical feeding time and nutrition. Is...

    Video Update (Day 1 of Week 7 in Flower)

    Its so hard to get an idea of the beauty of these ladies with pics alone. The video is lower quality, but you get the gist. Check the videos in my signature for previous videos of the same grow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh9MZPQk7_E

    Are these males???

    Hello, I am not sure if what I see here are male pre-flowers or not. Any input would be appreciated. Each is a pic from a different plant.

    Stoner Moment

    I dropped my pH meter in my 40gal res.... :-( Needless to say, it no longer functions. I have to say, the liquid pH test solution is a pain in the ass compared to the ease of the digital meter. I was wondering, though... I always had a hard time trusting the readings since the nutrient solution...

    Ready to flower?

    Greetings, These 5 beauties were germinated from seed, and spent their first couple of weeks of life in my prop tray under CFL/T5 lights. As of today, they are only 3 weeks into their veg cycle. I topped them about a week ago, and they responded very rapidly. I was wondering, do they look...

    12 hours condensed into just over 1 minute

    I did a quick time-lapse for 12 hours so I could learn how. Also, I really want to do a time-lapse of 1 photo every hour for the entire life of my next generation, so this gave me an idea of what would be involved. Anyway, I just thought I would drop this off in case others wanted to see it...

I have been gathering the ingredients for this cabinet over the last couple of months...

    When Is It Time to Flush (DWC)?

    What indications should I watch out for that tell me I am near ready for harvest and should begin flushing? I hear people say 2 weeks prior to harvest, and I know what the trichomes look like when ready to harvest, but what should I notice before I flush with plain water for a week or two?

    Are these clones ready to veg?

    Greetings... This is my first attempt at cloning, and so far so good. I was wondering if these roots looked developed enough to take them out of the dome and place them under 400w MH in their hydroton homes. Input is greatly appreciated.

    Pruning the top 1 week into flower...

    I have a plant that it reaching the glass on my light, which is as high as it can get. If I were to prune it, would it cause the plant to herm? Would I stunt the progression? What do you suggest for dealing with height after the plant is mature?

    "Designer" Colors?

    Hear me out... I remember in school as a small kid, we used to take white flowers and place them in food-dyed water. The color would get wicked up to the pedals and change the color of the flower. I was wondering, if I added some food coloring to my water in the last week of flower (water-only...

    What should I expect to see??? (pics)

    The strain is "OG" per the dispensary from whence it came, if that is familiar to anyone. I have a few questions, with a couple pics below to show you the growth rate. This plant it growing pretty damn fast, but it seems pretty stretched out to me. I was wondering, will this keep getting tall...

    Progress So Far (Dated Pics)

    The one on the right was transplanted to the hydroton from soil, and suffered a lot of problems. It recently recovered (nute deficiency/root rot/lots of dying leaves), so the condition is actually a blessing. The one on the left, I bought as a clone, and had one incident involving the cube...

    Medical O2 DWC?

    I have a medical oxygen concentrator which has a peak flow rate of 15lpm. I was wondering, would this benefit my plant if I ran this to my bubble stones instead of the straight compressor? I am only running 2 buckets at the moment, and I am sure the flow rate is ample. I am just wondering if...

    To clip, or not to clip?

    Hey all, This plant recently recovered from a pretty bad case of root rot. The 4 oldest fan leaves already completely died, and I clipped them off. I was wondering if I should leave the yellow leaves on until they are brown, or should I go ahead and clip them now? I am wondering if they are...

    Yellowing progressively from top to bottom

    I have an issue where the leaves of the plant are starting to turn yellow. At first only the bottom set, then as they completely turned yellow, the next set started, and it appears to be moving on up. My setup: 400watt MH, 18on/6off Bubble Bucket with Top Feed (self-contained) (feeding 15min...

    First Grow Closet (operational/under construction)

    Hey all, I just wanted to show off how I spent my weekend (and my paycheck :/). I am fortunate enough to have a extra bedroom/office with an unused closet. On the right is the veg, the left will be flower (once I get my first plant that far). have the top for nute/supply storage. Lighting...

    Does this mean it's a female (pics)?

    I was wondering if the little "spikes" coming from the joint where the branch and the stem meet were an indicator of gender (see bottom pic). As well I was curious if any of you more experienced growers can tell me if the purple hue is a quality of the strain, of is this what it looks like when...
