    More Purple than Green

    Most strains that have purple/red coloring normally get it in later life, with your plants at such a young age it suggests Mg deficiency or another def, poss phos. Give it a shot of Mg, if that works fine, Marijuana uses alot of Mg during growth..If its still purple and if it looks sick, ie...

    More Purple than Green

    If youre using rain water, depending on where you live, ie proximity to large industrial areas,surrounded by freeways etc, you could be pouring acid rain onto your babies...If you are gonna use rain water, its important to ph check it.

    Starting a autostrain (lowberry)grow now, first grow, need some help/tips

    There are various ways to increase PH, Baking soda works, but its more of a quick fix and isnt great for the plants in the long term..Lime is much better, thats what i use, or you could buy some PH up from a Hydro shop. When i had ph issues, i just emptied the pots out very carefully, spread the...

    More Purple than Green

    yup it could be the strain... might also be worth trying some Mg (epsom salts) foliar feed for a wk or so... ph def can also cause purpling, but as MJ uses alot of MG whilst its growing, thats your best bet.

    Starting a autostrain (lowberry)grow now, first grow, need some help/tips

    Ok here goes... The water you use to pre-soak the beans should be room temperature, soak them until they sink, or for around 10hrs( I ALSO USE THE SCALPEL METHOD AND SCUFF THE SEED GENTLY ALONG THE SEAM, WHICH HELPS THEM ABSORB WATER AND MAKES THE SEED SHELL EASIER TO POP OPEN) Just because a...

    Seeds not sprouting?

    Its a problem if you use it straight out the tap. If you are going to use tap water, you need to let it 'stand' for a couple of days to dechlorinate. Chlorine isnt good for seeds or plants, and thats why you should leave it to stand, so the chlorine can evaporate from the water.

    Seeds not sprouting?

    Also, It might be worth a shot...Try to put them somewhere a tiny bit warmer, see if it makes any difference. I usually germ seeds in trays on my shelf, but at this time of yr i have to put them on top of the PC case,as even though its warm here, its still not quite warm enough. I've found...
