    Transplanting seedlings

    Hi all, Random question that I wasn't able to find info on (maybe my search skills needs improving): When I transplanted my seedlings, from an aerogarden to soil, one of my seedlings had a very long taproot. When I move a plant like that into soil, should I move it as-is, or should I trim...

    Nute coloring or root rot?

    Hi all, and sorry - I've been looking at pictures of root rot, and I still can't tell whether I've got it or if it's just stained roots from nutes. Figure I ask! Growing in DWC, using r/o water. water temp is 64 ph has been at 5.8-6.0 steady at 300ppm using Flora Nova Bloom The new growth on...

    Advice on light being too close

    Hi all, I'm using a prefab blurple (advanced led xte 300, actual power draw rn is 270w) in a grow tent, so height is limited. The tops have gotten awfully close to the light - like within 6 inches. I've been supercropping to keep the tops as far away as possible, but they keep bending right...

    Pruning just growth tips, not fan leaves

    Hi all, Question for you guys. Putting the discussion of whether to prune or not aside for a second, let's say I'm pruning. It seems that conventionally, growers will remove ALL growth below a certain point, like this (not my pic): Is there is a reason why they don't leave the fan leaves on...

    No idea what's going on with these leaves

    Hi all, I got a set of leaves from one node on a plant looking funky; some of the leaves have curled and crisped up, and there's a few leaves with a light discoloring. these discolored areas also feel thinner but softer, like velvet. sorry all, I'm a bit high, this might be...

    Worried about my little autos

    Hi all, I got three auto Grand Daddy Purps going, at the start of week 6, and I got sort of a random question: The plants are still pretty short - under 6 in. - and haven't begun their stretch yet; however, they have fan leaves that are bigger than my hand. I'm worried that it's not growing...

    Drooping - should I be worried?

    Hi all, Got myself 3 autoflowering plants in DWC, 4 weeks old. Water temp steady at 67F, air temp currently at 73F, humidity around 40%. The plants are fine except that they are drooping. Is this a concern at all (ie should something be done)? It's not that bad yet, but I also didn't want to...

    Is this under or over-feeding?

    Hi all, And sorry as well - still a noob, and I'm rarely sure about these things from looking at pics/posts.. My 3 plants are about 3 weeks old from planting from seed, and they are currently in the same res. Same strain as well. Two of them are getting brown spots, and one of them also has...

    What to do with crispy leaves

    Hi all, I know I fcked up badly and deserve the criticism.. but I have a question (that would've been helpful to ask weeks ago) I overfed, terribly, at the end of the final stretch during flower. Leaves have since turned crispy and started dying. Should I pluck all crispy leaves? Or should I...

    Light burn or nute issue?

    Hi all, I realize I should be able to find the answer to this question online, but I haven't been able to.. appreciate any insight! I'm not sure if what I'm seeing is light burn or a nute issue - the tips of all the leaves have turned brown. The rest of each leaf is fine. Any thoughts? Long...

    Question about hydroguard and similar

    Hi all, Wanna first say how helpful RIU has been - thank you all. Topping up my DWC res last week, I had mixed extra nutes, so I put an extra 2 gallons aside in a 5gal bucket. I had a pair of air stones going in it. Today, I went to pour this water into the res, and I noticed a gunky/slimy...

    Input on roots in DWC

    Hi all, Noob here asking for thoughts on root health. I think I have a general sense of what to expect from healthy and unhealthy roots, but I'm not sure if the roots on my current plant in DWC is doing okay. No slime on roots, and water smells like it usually does when i mix fresh nutes...

    Mixing nutes in high-pH tap water

    Hi all, If I have tap water with a high pH (~9), will it be an issue to mix nutrients without lowering the pH a little bit first? In general, does nute lockout occur quickly, or will adjusting pH after mixing prevent it? From what I've gathered, most people recommend adjusting pH after adding...
