    DWC slime?

    It's been 11 days since I started running the res, first time doing DWC. Res temp is 23.5C, it fluctuates slightly around that. I know it's a bit higher than ideal so I've run bennies since the get go, not just a random one, the ones that are recommended for DWC to fight slime. I'm not seeing...

    More air stones?

    I saw a few before and afters and it did miracles, roots full of rot and one week later they are white. I found one with 20x higher concentration of bennies than Hydroguard, I think it also might help to have them there from the get go and not only when shit hits the fan. I'm thinking...

    More air stones?

    After much research I decided to try bennies first. I have a pack of bacillus amyloliquefaciens I'm going to use since the get go to colonize the roots. These have long been used in agriculture to fight root pathogens including pythium. Plus they offer a host of other benefits such as growth...

    More air stones?

    So from my research more air is better but at some point there is an oxygen saturation point and there are no more benefits. This is the bucket I bought https://indoorgrowingcanada.com/collections/dwc-deep-water-culture/products/alfred-dwc-1-plant-system-kit The pump...

    Is this Phosphorous deficiency? Lime green growth, red/purple stems, bronze spots

    Thanks for the help. I have raised the light to let the plant recover, top dressed with some lime and adding a slight bit of nitrogen

    Is this Phosphorous deficiency? Lime green growth, red/purple stems, bronze spots

    It's a TS1000, a pretty weak LED but it was at like 11 inches I think in the pics and 100% power. I guess I already ruined the plant since light bleaching reduces potency :wall::wall::wall::wall:

    Is this Phosphorous deficiency? Lime green growth, red/purple stems, bronze spots

    This has been a long growth, I think 4 months now. Some pics under natural light

    Is this Phosphorous deficiency? Lime green growth, red/purple stems, bronze spots

    Yes it was pre cooked with lime. Not sure about the light, I had moved it close but put it up a a good few inches again to see if it's that.

    Is this Phosphorous deficiency? Lime green growth, red/purple stems, bronze spots

    FML is all I can say. Organic grow, switched to flowering 3 days ago. Everything had gone perfectly up until now. About a week or so ago all new growth is bright green, I notice bronze spots. Stems had been purple/red for a while but now it's extending to the middle of the leaf lines (I don't...

    Is this plant ready for flowering?

    I think it's just because of fast new growth. 2 weeks ago I gave some plankton organic fert which is high in N and immediately caused a level of N toxicity in the lower leaves. In the pics if you pay attention you can see burnt tips, darker color and clawing in the lower section.

    Is this plant ready for flowering?

    That has to be it. I know a ton of people at 12" and none of them have problems. Even 8". I'm sorry for your plant, hope it recovers. My plants normally don't get very big, although this time I changed a lot of things for the better so maybe it will. If it gets out of hand ill tie some more

    Is this plant ready for flowering?

    TS1000 light at 100%. The canopy is not even and so is the distance, but I just measured and it's 10-11 inches at most spots.

    Is this plant ready for flowering?

    I stopped all training and just let it grow for 2 weeks, should I let it gain more vertical grow or good to flower now? Looking to maximize as much as I can.

    Weed that tastes like chemical waste, smells like rotten ass and harsh like sandpaper

    So I got my answer, I abused fertilizer and now I'm smoking advanced nutrients. I was right after all, it is chemical waste. >:( My logic was to follow what the label said and if the plant is not showing nute burn or other symptoms of overfeeding then it's ok. Apparently it is not. This time I...

    Weed that tastes like chemical waste, smells like rotten ass and harsh like sandpaper

    Wow that's some next level knowledge. I went with White Widow and LSD this time, thought it would be safer to go with these more readily available strains.

    Weed that tastes like chemical waste, smells like rotten ass and harsh like sandpaper

    It's not the pallet, it's so bad I showed it to some other people and they were instantly like damn what did you do. Feels bad man, I see posts of these people who on their first grow get these monster plants and buds with the thickness of my forearm

    Weed that tastes like chemical waste, smells like rotten ass and harsh like sandpaper

    So maybe it was the advanced nutrients nutes. I didn’t think it would be excess nutes giving the bad taste and smell because there was no nute burn. I’ll start at 1/4 strenght this time. My soil this time is a mix of 50/50 happy frog and ffof with 30% perlite, extra dolomite lime and some puffs...

    Weed that tastes like chemical waste, smells like rotten ass and harsh like sandpaper

    Not sure, will check. I got a feeling every weed I have ever bought from a dispensary had black ash. I did follow the instructions on the nute bottles. I have a new set of nutes, the general hydroponics flora trio. Can anybody tell me what dosage would you recommend for this line? Half? Full...
