BTW, Marijuana is NOT a weed! Lol. A weed is an UN-desirable plant that you DON'T want around. Lol. The old anti-marijuana squares years ago considered it a "weed", and started calling it that, because THEY didn't want it in our society, so that's how the name stuck. I personally call it a...

Espoma Flower Tone is what I used to use years ago, mixed in with the bottom half of the soil ONLY, and I got some great results with that, but as a topping, or tea, it's very hard on seedlings because of the highly water soluble salt they put in it also. Although, It does have the Beneficial...

That's some good "Organic" info there. Just be careful with SOME organic Fertilizers, cause some of them can POSSIBLY still have some STRONG water soluble salts in them. I.E. Espomas products. They just happen to be collected "naturally", instead of being by-products of other industries, so...

Any questions or advise you guys may have are greatly appreciated as this issue has been driving me nuts for maybe 2 years of more now, especially knowing that I did good for 15 years b4 that. I keep racking my brain and trying to figure out what I might be doing different now since I moved. Lol

I really appreciate the response GroErr. I've tried straight peat w/ perlite too, and some with a little compost in it, and everything usually at about 6.4-6.8 PH. I don't think that I mentioned it, but I used to be very successful indoors. I accidently cut out part of my post above...

What kind of mix could I make with these components to make a decent indoor potting soil? All that I have to work with is; a little compost out in the yard, a 13 gal. garbage bag worth of composted bunny poo, a small bag of MG(Miricale Grow brand) perlite, quite a bit of plain course...

Going with a pour-through and test method, what's the average to max EC/PPM you would want to see in soil for 2 week old seedlings? I'm starting to see a lot of dying tips on my first set of true "spear" leaves again, now that I'm getting my 2nd-3rd nodes started coming in, with the first...

MXW3LL. Yes. My fairly new Hana combo meter, with the handheld probe on a cable, stays calibrated very easily, and seems to be VERY accurate and reliable, with very little maintenance. I check it about every two weeks, and it's always spot on, with the 4.0 PH test solution, and the 7.0 solution...

I also meant to say that I NEVER even let children SEE me smoking, as to not set a bad example, and I've always been that way. NO worries there.

SRY so long. UPDATE towards end. Thanks for all the responses so far guys and gals. Thanks for addressing that cigarette smoke question PoodleBud. It's the first time anyone has tried to answer that for me. Lol. I've ALWAYS figured it has to be VERY bad for them, so I absolutely try to keep...

Small update here. Reminder. I'm going 400w MH Blue and soil this time. So, I've bought me some more MG(Miracle Grow) crap :-( seed starting mix and MG cactus/palm/ citus type soil mix, and more MG perlite. I already have a huge bag of generic coarse vermiculite also. I think this is my first...

This is what ALL my different kinds of seedlings start to do in here at about week 1-2, and they're pretty much dead by week 3-3/12. This is a random pic off the net, but none of my different stuff even gets quite this big before problems arise. I've thought I might be over-watering at times...

booms, I think you might be right on, :cry: , but I just don't want to admit it just yet. Lol. If there are any other possible causes of this issue, I would still love to hear them. I've cleaned this place to the point of driving me mad already. Lol

Is a mildly warm soil, this Hyponex, a bad starting choice for seeds? It's worked for me before, with just a little splash of drinking water here and there.

Also, I have cantaloupe seedlings that just popped up under my 400w light the other day, in the same setup and area, and the seed leaves opened quick and green, but there seems to be no new, real leaf growth after two days since? IDK, LOL. Is a 400 Hortilux BLUE light bulb a good one for...

Little update here. ALL my watermelons seedlings went outside two nights ago into a 5 gallon pot of random, well drained soil, 6.8 PHish, 0.2ECish, that was outside all winter long seasoning in the pots, and were having the same problems, but now the stronger ones have picked up QUICK, after...

I thought about another good bleaching, but I did it a year or so ago when I moved in this place, which had also been remodeled and painted a year before the bleaching. I have also lived in both sides of this makeshift duplex, with the same results, even after being a neat freak, and doing a...

Hello every1. I've been growing lots of crap indoors for years, but with better success. For the last few years I've started having BIG troubles. I'm tryin to start lots of different types veggies and herbs indoors, in an enclosed 2 1/2' x 2 1/2' area, under a 400w Blue MH, and a 400w HPS...

Oh yeah. My tap is only 80ppm after de-chlorination and I usually mix it half and half with RO.

OK. I could use a little help with my Lucas formula math, and would love what ever input that you master hydro growers may have on any of this below. (my questions below are NOT all math related, so please don't be scared off with out reading to the bottom)(I included a couple of tips also that...
