Even with spraying just before lights on I had problems with the heat of the water evaporating damaging my plants, another reason i gave it up entirely.

As for BS answers that's because RIU isn't a text book with set answers, it's a community, people try and help each other. Big surprise, people are fallible.

Burn on your plants after a foliar feed means that you have too many salts or too much ammonia present in your water, that's what causes burns. Tone back your nute concentration=no burn. I foliar feed outside, at high noon, on a day when i's 95F and clear, with no problems.

I always go 1/6th of what the fert instruction says for dirt for my lava rock/hydroton flood and drain table. I always get good crystal. Blueberry, orange bud, white rhino, #1 skunk.

i did try to smoke it and its bad no effect like yr smoking nothing and i have a dual specturm bulb not a hps but it is more in the red spec i had a hermi from my plants the pollenated some buds but got that under control too so when do i start flushing? i hope the tric start showing though cause all was going well untie now :( but if it is not uncommon then maybe i am stressing my self out

Get a hps if you can. I never flush. I cut and vase them in RO water for the last twenty-four hour shift removing them when the light comes on.

Where I live there are no grow shops so its very hard to get stuff but where can I get dry ice from?

But i am saying hps is great for flowering and u can get some hps's that push out more UV b but standard HPS's do not. When flowering i run my lights as follows 5 days HPS and 2 days MH, I do this so i get alot of resin on my plants and to keep the bud nice and heavy

So let me get this straight, and by no means do I want to step on any toes here, so forgive me if I do. Your saying it is better to flower with MH rather than HPS. Im no expert by no means but this goes against everything I have every been taught, seen or read. I kinda thought everyone knew to use MH for veg and HPS for flower. Maybe I have been researching the wrong information highway.

No. HPS is the bulb to use, IF your only using 1. If your using two or more, a "Blended spectrum" is preferable. MH lights encourage trichome production, along with low RH.

As for my opinion, I think I'm seeing airy buds. Your light might be too far away. Or the glass might be taking out too many lumens. Usually air coolers use 1,000W lights for this reason. Not discouraging you, just saying. For every foot away from your light source you go, the lumens level is cut into a quarter. So a 95,000L Digilux is 95,000 lumens 1 foot away from the bulb. At two feet that's only 24,000L. At 3 feet, 6,000L. I would not recommend putting a MH in a tube, because glass absorbs a lot of UV radiation. Also, nutrients might be a factor. Micro-nutrients are required for resin production. Make sure your nutrients list Copper, Boron, Manganese, Iron, Molybdenum, and Zinc. If organic, try General Organics seaweed. Great trace source. Try to control RH and temp. Air should make leaves "Dance" a little. Good luck and keep growin'.

the bulb is about a foot away from the tops and with regards micro nutientes I dont have the full list as it says more trace elements found next grow I am using advance nutrients micro for flowering then see if that might be the case but come on no cristals at all I think this is strain related because they have always been healthy plants they still are but just no resin production after 4 months waiting this sucks

I know this is a dated post but I didn't see anyone say that you probably aren't loading enough sugars into the plants. Up your dosage of sugars (I use AN Carboload..its aways worked best out of any of the tons I've tried) This directly relates to your crystals. I ran one nute cycle without a sugar additive and my shit had a weak yield. After using the same amount of Carboload as I do AB I get way heavier and denser yields and never get burns.

Do lookout if you are getting burning of pistils thou. Too much hydroplex/bigbud can fry your pistils easily thru your flower cycle which I've learned the hard way :/

You don't actually need sugar unless you're organic. It won't give you trichs if you have none either.

I just got carbo load but I will use it in my next grow as i think its abit too late not to start them right?
just had a problem with my vegiging plants some of them are drooping cause of the temp in my country this happened over night is there a high possiblity that they got stressed? and turn male if theey are feminised seeds? problems problems
