    I hope I can fix this :(

    The problem with PM is that once you have it, it's always there. But you can certainly keep it under control, especially in the veg stage where you can still spray your plants. A few tips from my personal experience of growing on the ground floor :razz: -avoid milk. Since milk contains...

    burned my plant not getting any better

    The parts that are burnt won't heal. They'll end up brown and crispy, crumbling to the touch. But at least the new growth is looking healthy. The real downside is that there will be less leaf surface area for photosynthesis. Otherwise it should turn out OK.

    First grow 4x4 tent 400w/mh 600w/hps

    AWESOME first grow! Looks great so far. Subscribed, and as I will be upgrading to a Dark Roo 120 and a 600 HPS, I really like your setup :) What pH are you using to feed them? are you using anything to lower the pH?

    Gavita Pro 600 lamp: anybody using one? experiences?

    Thanks for the replies! well the tent is 4'x4'x8', so I'm also concerned about the heat output by the lamp itself, even though the ballast itself runs pretty cool. At the same time I'm currently running a 400w HPS in a 3.3'x3.3' tent, and heat isn't really an issue. I just don't know how much...

    Gavita Pro 600 lamp: anybody using one? experiences?

    Hey everyone, I'm starting to plan my next grow room, to be put together right after I harvest my current grow (mid-January). I'll be buying a Secred Jardin Dark Room 120, and I'm excited about upgrading from a 400w to a 600w HPS. I was pretty set on some kind of ventilated lamp (either a...

    Organic 400W Soil Grow: Maple Leaf, Candy Kush & Peace-Maker

    It's been a while since my last post on RIU. Four years ago I started growing (along with my first Grow Journal here on RIU) and have learnt SO much from this forum. 4 years on and not much has changed: I'm still using the same Homebox L with 400w HPS, though this will be my last grow with this...

    Saudi Arabia

    Been away from RIU for a moment and this is the first thread I get back to LOL Actually the penalties for consuming or dealing are very different and much less severe than trafficking or smuggling, regardless of social status.

    Judging by hairs instead of trichomes?

    Don't worry, it will be worth the wait. I juss harvested a 56-day (according to breeder) Indica at day 101! And I don't go by trichomes anymore. Just wait until the calyxes have swollen and the pistils (hairs) have receded onto them.

    Sandmonkey's 4th Grow: ,,, SOMA A+ (aka Rock Bud) ,,, SAGE 'n' SOUR ,,, ICE

    The ice never made it :( they were infested with spider-mites and never got that big. Definitely better suited for a SOG/SCROG style of growing.

    @ tlsdrm73, I just have the output plastic tube scotch-taped to the back of my circulation fan. @chb, thanks for the rep and positivity! 1) I use a blue spectrum horticultural 150w CFL for veg and a 400w HPS for flower. 2) It's from the Big Book of Buds by Ed Rosenthal. They're up to volume 4...

    They still have a few more weeks to go. A lot of new growth (normal for a Sativa; even at harvest), and calyxes still haven't swollen. My pure indicas (Soma A+) are on their 13th week of flowering so don't worry ;) But DAMN looks like them spider mites got your girls bad :(

    It's a good problem to have though LOL. Better over-flushed buds than the opposite ;)
