Are you talking about hydro? If so, your nutes are the best buffer. If your nutes aren't keeping pH in an acceptable range, and there's no other condition, try another nute product. I use Humboldt Master A & B and I never worry about pH.

What the pH "should be" in hydro depends on multiple facotrs, not the least of which is the nutes you are using. For example, Humboldt says with their products, a pH from 5.5 to 6.5 is fine. I think it is almost impossible that a pH of 6.2 is having any effect on this problem.

Here's one with 4 tubes for the same price - much better. Notice they call it a propagation light. But you can flower with t5, just switch to 2700k tubes. So yes I think THIS one would be an omprovement, especially if you also used the cfls with it...

Growing your own is a great feeling and a fun hobby. Just don't get greedy.

I did it last easter for the first time and talked about it on RIU. So this easter was a repeat. Maybe I'll make it a tradition.

I guess we need to redistribute the weed. I have more than I need. I don't want to sell at all, and I only have a few people I want to give it to and they don't use much. I should just grow less but I find I like to grow and do it as a hobby not because I need it. So I accumulate more than I...

1. yes they will find your safe deposit box 2. dogs will find it anywhere on your property unless you bury it 10 feet deep

Bunch of damn potheads around here! My wife and I together smoke less than an ounce a month. Of course, that's top shelf bud smoked in a good vaporizor.

What if you had some buds that you wanted to put into storage off your property. What would you do?

I think the point is, if someone doesn't want to use deprivations techniques on his plants, who is anyone else to tell them they're wrong? Growing for cancer patients, even if true, doesn't make one a better grower and certainly not morally superior.

You can do it but in my experience the time to grow baqck is slow and the yield small. I think it's better to start anew.

You are correct! Drip is for post-nasal. It takes longer than one day for roots to reach the water, but in that time they are fed just fine by the splashing action of a good airstone and a robust air pump. Set you water level so that there is splashing up on the sides of the netpot. better to...

Why would someone pick a name like Cowell or use that avatar if he "didn't" want to start shit or be an asshole?

Yes, 2700k for flower. Keep in mind that those lights don't penetrate like hps. They are not so good for tall plants when the lights are overhead. Best to keep plants small, or use lst.

Limited stress training. It means you gently bend plants over and tie them so that buds on the side get more light and produce larger colas. It can be almost like having a plant that grows horizontally instead of vertically.

At that age, it's not so much how tall they are but how much foliage there is. If they are bushy and healthy looking, you could go to 12/12 right now. If not, let them veg some more.

Defensive much? No I don't subscribe to plants need sleep, so you're mistaken on that, too. I veg 24 hrs and do autos 24 hrs. If my plants want more than 12 hrs of dark somebody will have to convince me it has merit. Maybe I don't "understand" the effect of light deprivation. I'm sure I'm not...

My understanding is that the plants need x (whatever that is) hrs of dark to begin flowering and continue to flower. I haven't been persuaded that "extra" dark has anything to do with when a plant "finishes" which to us means is ready for harvest. I'm not sure why a plant would be in a hurry to...

Is everyone growing sative and no indica? The most interesting part of this is that Indicas should need only 8-10 hrs of darkness which means they can have 14-16 hrs of light out of 24. That's more energy which should translate into more growth and more yield. This would seem to me (if you find...

You might be a grower if - you hear a bit of a news report about "increasing co2 levels" so you hurry to turn it up hoping for some do-it-yourself instruction.
