    COMMERCIAL GROW.Never seen this before ANY THOUGHT??

    Do you use dolomite lime in the soil? I have seen this happen when I do not have the dolomite added well in advance of using the soil. Especially when it is just a few leaves. I am assuming these are all clones from the same mother

    too often watering can shut a plant down.

    Plant problem

    I say overwatered - there is plenty nutrients in those pots for the plants to use - your goal is to get the pot full of roots while not over watering. You want the roots to stretch to the edges and they will only do that if the soil is moist along the way without making the bottom soggy.

    Nutrients for soil grows

    I find the COM Stonington rather rich as well as the Lob/Compost - I use them to amend my soil and keep it alive. I ran an Auto once with Stonington blend and it was pretty much all it needed.

    Magnesium deficiency

    Many of us have dealt with Mg Deficiency...just as many have caused this ourselves. Mg is the one nutrient that can lock itself out if too much is in the soil Excess Mg will lock it out. Excess Potassium will lock it out. Excess Calcium will lock it out. So be very careful adding Epsom Salt...

    ripped alot of roots when transplanting

    I do bonsai trees and you would not believe what we do to those damn roots. Just be gentle and use something like myco madness - get those roots going again.

    5 weeks in Flower Mag Def

    Bottom line you want a 4:2:1 balance of Potassium:Calcium:Magnesium Otherwise you will see lower leafs show signs of Mag def in week 4-5 flowering. my nutrients below have a bit of mg in the langbeinite but only enough to offset the Potassium. The Lobster meal has high Calcium and zero mg...

    5 weeks in Flower Mag Def

    So I always amend my soil with slight amount of Dolomite Lime - it has made me not have to think of the cal-mag deficiency - it always seemed to work. But I have found because I introduced LOBSTER MEAL or CRAB MEAL it has some good amounts of CALCIUM only - and too much will lock out mg and...

    Adding Emerson Effect to a strip light

    I just added a couple Hyperlite panels to my tent and I was shocked at how the plants reacted - in a good way, Then I saw that they do reach far more into the +700nm range. I am thinking it could be some slight Emerson Effect - now it has me wanting to add more Far Red

    Change from 400w to 600w HPS

    Pros - more light Cons- More power use Many howmgrowers are more apt to not give enough light - messing with Red-White-Blue spectrum before you even have a good saturation of light is not that useful. 600w is good for that tent

    ACInfinity Cloudline T4 & 4" Carbon Filter

    I stopped using HPS so I do not generate much heat. If I was using a 1000w lamp sure I would need to keep it cool. When I was using HPS I had my can-fan on 25/7

    Sannies

    Here is my take on feminized seeds. I formed this opinion from my experience. Say a plant runs on a scale of 0 - 10 and zero is a perfect female plant and 10 is a hermie. I have found that making feminized seeds you definitely move the needle up making the plant more susceptible to hermie. If...

    new SILENT exhaust fan! Which one? Please suggest!

    Cloudline is where it is going. a) Humidity and temp probe (get the 't' model) b) It ramps up when triggered on not full blast right away c) Quiet perfect fan for a tent.
