    bubbleponic CFL veg poor growth pale meristems 10L res

    I recommend getting or using 32 6500k cfl maybe like 4-6 for a 2x2 area for the vegging and adding some 2700k bulbs for flowering, more lights=more growth. Most cfls put out lumens 1-2 inches away from bulb any farther they decrease rapidly so have the plant close and have a fan blowing past the...

    To flush or not to flush

    Was talking to a friend he was saying something about let the plant dry before flush then after a day or 2 let it go back in water so it can soak up the water after it fully used the nutes inside the plant. Idk if it will increase taste but going to try I will get back to you in 3 weeks when im...

    From Seed it takes around 30 days for the plant to become mature. When the plant is mature you will be able to tell the sex of the plant usually starts at the top of the plant and works its way down. Female will have 2 hairs/pistils like bud, and a male will have a scorpion tail(Water droplet...

    One plant looking weak - yellowing leaves with yellow vain

    Is that under a hps light if so move it out of the light and check the plant. The hps light can be tricksters. Also, is there enough light to reach the bottom? Cause I have some plants they have a couple of branches that dont get light any more so they turn kinda like a neon green color.

    Confused whether to FIM or top??

    the first pic where my finger is, is where I topped the plant thats probly 1 1/2 weeks of growth after topping under a 600w hps then put under cfls . The second pick was to show you what a node was but cruzer beat me to it, and its the stem of the plant in the picture, there is probly 2 or more...

    Confused whether to FIM or top??

    So you decided to Top to gain a clone. I would top it so the top when your done is about 5-6" which would probably be 3-5 nodes strip the bottom nodes so you have enough stem to go into soil I would say 1-2"make sure to coat that entire part with the rooting gel since where ever the gel goes...

    Confused whether to FIM or top??

    First pic where I topped the plant, second pic the stem with 3 nodes 1 under ground and 2 above ground you can see where I cut the leaves off to promote ventilation, and the third pic ending result. Yes Cruzer is right its better to take clones from the lower part Ive had 100% success cloning...

    Confused whether to FIM or top??

    Yes the nodes are where leaves poke out at and new growth usually forms above the leaf petiole connecting point to the stem. Heres some pics of my mother plant that was a seed(even distribution). The main point of topping and fimming is forcing the plants hormones to go somewhere else and to get...

    Confused whether to FIM or top??

    I would suggest try fimming if it doesnt work you can always top, thats what I did since I didnt cut enough of the new leaves to halt it growing upwards and the leaves I cut where missing the tips. So I topped it a few days later and now I have at least 4 main tops and another 8 semi tops...

    questions please help.

    If you plan on having 3 foot plants I would suggest 1 plant per container so they dont fight over soil. There is a couple of options you could do with lights, metal halide(usually for vegging) or hps(High pressure sodium usually for flowering) lights cost alot but work excellent they usually...

    1st grow in 3 yrs. Drooping Leaves Plz Help

    How close is the water in the res to the cup holding the plant? If you have roots it should not be touching like 1/2" away so it has a air gap. Pls get the tin foil away from the plant use white paper to cover the hydroton so no light goes into the res. Check ph, res temp and ppm if you have a...

    Cool Tube Question

    Ok so then you should have the other ends of the cooltubes go to fresh air or where you get the intake air from outside the grow area. Ive seen a room before where they used 1 fan to exhaust everything out and a phylum(not sure if that is the name) pretty much a box where all the exiting air...

    questions please help.

    When growing outdoors there is no such thing as complete darkness. But having light on above them at night is not a good idea, its a weed you will be surprised how much they want to survive. To make sure I would suggest finding when the sun rises and sets in your area and make sure its above 13...
