    Dying Grow Room HELP!

    Looks like over fertilization to me. Nitrogen Toxicity, leaves look like they are burning from the tips and edges inward and the Nitrogen Claw is a dead giveaway. I suggest that you flush the hell out of those plants with properly PH'd PLAIN water and stick to plain water for the next few...

    First Grow: 400 watt HPS, Permafrost, White Widow, White Rhino, Blackjack

    Jolly good work Watson!LOL. That sounds like the exact same issue I'm having, my clones are all lime green too but hopefully that will all come to an end soon. I got a new plan. FYI, so the rest of the story makes sense, I’ve labeled my plants by the generation as they enter the flower...

    First Grow: 400 watt HPS, Permafrost, White Widow, White Rhino, Blackjack

    I've been researching the ingredients that are in the soil that I'm using to make sure that it contains an adequate amount of NPK sources and trace minerals. Using this website http://www.geocities.com/nonamuss/organic_npk.html I determined that G&B soil is almost perfect but it lacks a good...

    Today I moved 3 more plants into the flowering room. The other 3 will stay in the veg chamber until harvest which is 6-7 weeks away. I plan on using Uncle Ben's topping technique again, I am very pleased with the way it works. My PF plant, which started as a clone, has 30 buds sites! The...

    Everything I've read says to keep the light as close as you can without causing heat damage but most grow setup pics I've seen on RIU have the lights much farther away than I keep mine. I think that the light may be too intense and possibly causing slow growth so I moved the light up about 6...

    IGLAW, do you think I am keeping the light too close? I guess that you are the only pro who has 2 cents to spare, no one else has any comments, just flies on the wall :confused:. Thanks again IGLAW for all of your help you've given along the way, very much appreciated:clap:.

    I have been keeping mine about 4-6 inches from the glass of the cool tube. I took these pics yesterday and was reminded of the seedlings that I mistakenly kept too close to the light (they were light green and curled under). I'm still thinking that the plants are nute deficient but just want...

    Bugs!! Indoors?!!! Help (+rep)

    Sand works good (1/2 inch on the top of your soil), Hot Shots Pest Strips will kill almost every bug that enters your grow box. You could also hang some sticky fly paper, no chemicals or products to add to your soil. Good luck.

    Help!help!help! Spider mites are trying to take over!

    I had a bad infestation of spider mites on my first grow. I tried it all, neem oil, Ed Rosenthal's Zero Tolerance, Preditor Mites, Hot Shots Pest Strips, Azamax, Pyretherin Bombs. Neem oil, Preditor Mites, and ZT only killed off SOME of the mites but they came back with a vengence. I had great...

    My PH meter has 3 point calibration which I calibrated using 4 and 7 calibration solution, store didn't have 10 solution. I watered this morning with PH of 6.2 and measured the run-off in CLEAN run-off pans which measured 6.2 also. I think they are just really hungry. The plants looked better...

    Yes, Still using G&B soil. I don't recall adding any nutes during the veg stage but then again these plants vegged for almost 2 months. I've only watered once with the Bloom nutes in the last few weeks. I'm starting to doubt the accuracy of my PH meter, its a good one too $80, but I don't know...

    my plants are getting more white spots!!

    Foliar Feeding with the lights on is like burning ants under a magnifying glass. When the light hits the water, it is like going through a magnifying glass burning your plants; making you think that the plants are sick or diseased. In some cases with good wetting agents you can completely burn...

    street slangs for marijuana

    Hooty Hoo, I got "That Green" off street dealers in Baton Rouge back in my early 20's, I don't miss the stress involved in those transactions. It was important to specify otherwise you might end up with "That White" or "That Hard" (Coke or Crack).

    my plants are getting more white spots!!

    It looks like you have a couple of problems. 1: Your plants aren't getting enough light, therefore they are stretching like crazy. 2: It looks like water splash burns or solution burns. From what I've read its best to spray nutes or pesticides when the lights are off and will be off for an...

    ~1st Time Grow with Stealth CFL cab~

    My only suggestion at this point would be to get your sprouts a little closer to the lights. They look like they are stretching quite a bit. Other than that I think your on the road to success.

    Quick question on ducting. +REP FOR HELP

    I recommend pulling cool air from outside the cabinet to pass through the cool tube. This is what I did. When the light is on the cabinet is only 10 degrees above ambient.

    ~1st Time Grow with Stealth CFL cab~

    Nice little set up. How are you going to grow, Scrog, lollipop? Will you be growing from seed each time or do you plan to eventually take clones. Do you have a plan for odor control or is that a concern for you? Do you plan on raising the tub to get the plants closer to the lights or is...
