So, 1st timer on the hydro. I have been using vinegar up until now to decrease pH. Its simply not cutting it now and my DWC tank is fluctuating back to basic too quickly. What is the contents of pH down for hydroponics I have a gallon of leftover buffer solution at 4.00 that I had used a long...

Wow guys its been a bit since I've posted here but I'm in dire need. I recently moved, and I found out since its an older house that none (none! lol) of the outlets are grounded. Playing with electricity in the past, this scares me but it seems to have worked for years with only a few...

Alright ya'll....hopefully someone can help me So i'm building a fluorescent fixture from 2*4's and plywood. I am using 8 ft T12 bulbs I initially bought a whole fluorescent kit, but now decided to buy the ballast and sockets separately. I just bought a GE-260-IS-MV-N-DIY ballast for use...

I dont really know why im posting this. but im pissed off about my plants always seeming to develop nutrient problems!! i keep getting better but i also keep experiencing more and more problems. its freakin annoying. I wish there was a complete slow-release fertilizer out there so I didnt have...

Alrighty, I need to put a lot of fluros in my room but it would be much better for me to put them on a 240 volt. The kits at home depot all say 120volt on the side.... Would I have to buy my own fixtures and ballasts in order to get a 240 (I think they might actually be a true 215 volt) fluoro...

Alright guys, I have finally decided to make my veg area out of fluoro's because I cannot deal with the heat from another HID light. Unfortunately, I need a large area (like 50 sq feet!) covered by these fluoro's -and I have no experience fluorescents in growing. I was looking online at...

Alright, I got some loud noised from all the exhaust in my room (from the light exhaust to A/C exhaust). Outside it gets pretty loud if you come within 10 feet of them.... Anyone have any way to cover up the noise or stop it?

Symptoms: brown spots that originated in the lower fan leaves and have taken over my plants. Causes: -Mold? -Mag/Cal? -Root Rot? -?! Initially I thought it to be a disease/mold in my room (as my water clones grew mold on the stems before they rooted :( ). So I sprayed with Neem...

So I am wondering if it is ok to take clones from mother plants that have been stressed.... They have undergone some fert problems but I have been nursing them back to health. They are looking better each day. I am wondering if the clones would be affected genetically by any environment stress...

How do I delete my user account?

So I have been trying to examine my water to see if it is suitable for use w/ plants. I do know that there is an extreme amount of iron bacteria in it. (My toilet tank is covered in brown slime and my water stinks). Is this bad for plants? What else should I check for in my water? I know to...

Here are some spots I just noticed on my plants. I am thinking it is nute problem - not sure what though. They have gotten a couple doses of 5-3-5 fertilzer, then water for awhile and now just got a couple doses of 10 - 3 - 1. They're in 2 gallon buckets, soil. Under a 600w hps. Pics -

Hey all, I am currently growing soil and I am wondering what is something cheap and effective that I can use for water overflow in my new room. I need to either have a huge container (8'*7') or a few smaller ones that fit together without wasting space.

Alright :fire:, elec has been giving me a fit... I plan on using the 30 amp timer box that seems fairly popular. http://www.google.com/products?rlz=1C1GGLS_enUS307US308&sourceid=chrome&q=30%20amp%20timer%20box&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wf Now, I am confused about the timer. People talk...

I have a 240v 30amp circuit for my dryer. It is a 3 cord wire to it. So I believe its what you call a dual phase? I can just change the outlet to an outlet that would fit by 240v ballasts and plug everything into it - correct? I am just curious if there is a big difference between the 3 wire...

I want to do 24 hours of light right now but my lamp news time to cool so I have been having it on a .5 hr off and 23.5 on. I figured the cycle doesn't matter as long as its more than 12 hrs and I have done 18/6 with no problems. My question is a half hour enough time before the light switches...

I know this has probably been asked but I couldn't seem to find it.... Can I use my tap water for my plants? I know you have to let it sit open to let the chlorine evaporte - how long does this take? How do you tell if you have other chemicals like salt in it that are not good for your plants?

Hey all, sorry about not having pics yet -ill try to get them up soon but my camera is freakin out. Some of my fan leaves are good in color - very green and all but the blades of the leaves are kind of hiding under one another. The leaves and blades are big but like I say the blades arent...

Some of my babies have (I believe) some root rot. I transplanted them into some new soil. Is there any chance of them surviving? If so - what should I do to help? If not - let me know.
