    Illegal Smile is right i used to think more the merrier when it came to bubbles.I have played with an over sized air pump long enough to actually see my root mass run away from the strong current of high pressure.Tiny non violent bubbles to stimulate root growth that they do not run from in the...

    Help!!! Switched to flowering nutes and plants are drooping.

    Weedler is right SHOCK.Typically the plants should recover in a week or so and the fan leaves will lift back up out of shock.I have had a set go all the way through bloom with the large fan leaves staying wilted and shocked, it did affect my harvest.

    PH Raise Causes Brief "cloud" in Nutrient Solution, What's Happening?

    Its calcium falling out/or locking out of the solution due to the acid.I saw the same white cloud when first adding nutes to the water and then the pH up to the nutes.Now i add my pH up to the water first and then the nutes and no white cloud forms and no calcium loss.Hope this helps.

    Where to stick it? Options other than rockwool for clones?

    I clone in peat pellets and a homemade humidity tent under a couple of fluorescent bulbs. I have a 98% success rate within 7 to 10 days i have roots.Then the clones are placed in pots covered with hydroton clay pebbles.This would work if you took your cuttings and placed them into the...
