    Almost finished with first grow. Could I have just had a bad plant? PICS

    I saw that one as well. I'll get them. can run 10 tests on everything with those, at the same price, but with better accuracy. Def worth it. Also, I'll go check out the home depot when I get the chance. I'll try and pick up something similar to what you have listed. That'll help a a lot...

    Aluminum foil causes burn spots?

    Ummm... Wow. Didn't mean to start anything. Well, I've got a while to decide. Probably go with what's easiest for me. My first and only plant is VERY close to harvest. From there I'll have to gget more seeds. I do thank all of you for your help and advice. I've got some thinking to do...

    Aluminum foil causes burn spots?

    Thinking of maybe going with the white. Not that mylar isn't a good idea. I'm just not sure I want to deal with getting it and fitting it when I can g 3 minutes down the road and grab some poster board for $1

    Aluminum foil causes burn spots?

    Shit. Lol. I don't know what I was thinking. I knew that. I've seen so many grow rooms like that. Must have slipped. What kind of enamel will not put of fumes that are deadly to the plant?

    Aluminum foil causes burn spots?

    Trust me, I love this idea. However, I'm not growing in a grow box or a closet. I'm growing in a 3x2x5 (lwh) space built into the wall for a television and the like. The walls are all black with green sponged on. The entire house is this way, or most of it at least. I don't want to just...

    Aluminum foil causes burn spots?

    So I should probably droppd my horribly wrinkled foil and replace with something smoother like mylar? My plant gets burned quick often and it's not from overfert of pH.

    Six 250w HPS for $65?

    Found it on eBay. Guy's feedback is 99.7%. Sold over 17,000 items. THese lights he's selling are brand new. I though HPS were expensive?

    Aluminum foil causes burn spots?

    I've heard it does. If it's true, then it explains a lot. Does Mylar cause burn spots?

    Almost finished with first grow. Could I have just had a bad plant? PICS

    Well, I made two buckets of fresh soil for my future grows. I mixed one bucket of soil from the ground. Where I live I got a lot of clay mixed in with the soil. I mixed in 3/4 bucket of mg soil. 1/4 bucket of sand. pH of the new soil is 6.78. A little high. Number one, is this smart or...

    Well, what if I kept my CFLs and then added a 150w HPS. I can't afford a large rise in electric. I assume this would at least make it a little better?

    What should the water's pH be?

    OKay. So, once I get the pH controlled, I will begin to pH my water to be exactly 6.50. However, my one question is this. Although it seems that a slightly lower pH such as 6.3 will not allow much room for Mg, C, and P, is this a wise choice to lower the pH from 6.78 to 6.5? Should I use a...

    Almost finished with first grow. Could I have just had a bad plant? PICS

    Okay. I'll do that in the morning when the light comes on and I water. I think my earlier reading will prove to be very similar. After the first reading, I tried something new. I took about 1 cup of soil from the pot. Placed it in a filter. Slowly poured 7.00 pHed water overtop and it went...

    I'll check the soil again tomorrow. I checked earlier and got 6.78. Should I try watering with a little lower pH?

    It doesn't get that hot. Maybe 70 degrees. It has good ventalation and a fan is on high constanly, even when the light is off.

    What should the water's pH be?

    And can I safely adjust with BS and Vinegar if I need to raise or lower it?

    I just took an equal amount of soil and mixed it with a perfectly pHed 7.00 equal amount of water. I stirred and waited. Got a pH of 6.48. If that's not the problem, then could it be mg after all? Would Epsom salt help?

    Is this a valid way to check the soils ph?

    I bought a ph meter. Only takes the pH of a liquid. So, I poured some distilled water in a clean glass cup. Took it's pH. I got 7.48. I diluted some distilled white vinegar, put a few drops in until the distilled water had a pH of 7.00 exactly. I then tossed in a some soil. ABout an equal...

    Almost finished with first grow. Could I have just had a bad plant? PICS

    So do you get better yield if you have at least one HPS during flowering? If so, I'll buy one and add it with the CFLs next time. I have a ph meter which ended up being for liquids. Not sure how to test the soil now. What's mg? I used miracle grow soil. Feeds plants up to ten months. I...
