    Guide to Getting Rid of Root Rot

    I can attest to H202 and SM-90. I put a little SM-90 in during res changes, and I add 1 teaspoon of H2O2 per gallon EVERY THREE DAYS. Water is always clear as a bell, roots are completely slime-free, just a little browned from the FloraNova nutes. Of course, I have only one grow under my belt...

    grow number 2 and new setup

    Right now I have 4 x 23w CFL 6000K and a single 2700K in there just to mix it up a bit. When I flower I change out to mostly 2700K with maybe a 6000K or two in there, again, just to mix it up. I have 13 sockets on hanging cords that are adjustable, so I can "flood" the entire area if/when I...

    10 gal res.. Ph always high.. ugh.

    And if you don't want to invest the $$$ in an RO filter, try googling "pure water" on google maps near your location. This seems to be the term all the local RO water sellers use - YMMV. You'll spend between $0.14 and $0.25 per gallon. Using RO, if you keep your reservoir clean with peroxide...

    Water pump runs after the roots hit water..???

    I went out and bought a pump and manifold and never used it. Too crowded in the tank, yet another thing to power and/or fail or clog, and clean, ,etc. The bubbling action gets good moisture all around the hydroton in the net pot - if not, just raise the water level until it does. I had FANTASTIC...

    grow number 2 and new setup

    So, starting grow #2, and only doing 2 plants this time - hopefully my results will be better on a per-plant basis than last time. Last time I used 8 2-inch pots, and only 1 plant was both female AND a good producer. I never weighed it, but it was 11 pint jars packed full of dried bud. Problem...

    No- plastic tote - wooden grow box for specific (small) dimensions of corner of bedroom closet. The wood got contaminated with reservoir leaking water due to the drain valve I installed on the reservoir.

    Another Damn Mold Problem! help!!

    thanks! I did the following: 1. shop vac and dremmel brush to "exfoliate" everything "realllll good". 2. spray EVERYTHING down, again, "realll good", with denatured alcohol. 3. re-coat everything with mildewcide-impregnated paint. the next step is to tack up the panda film I just bought - all...

    Another Damn Mold Problem! help!!

    So now I guess I know where the mold inside the buds came from. The bottom of my box had mold in it. RH is always 30-40, but air circulation is so-so but more importantly, there was standing water in bottom of box. The drain valve in bottom of reservoir became not 100% leak proof. The...

    First Harvest - Need more humidity

    Curing. One of the plants got some mold in a very dense area. I just hope it I did not infect too many of the "good" jars. The ziploc has the moldy bud. Still haven't weighed it. Buds are on the "airy" side for the most part - which I was expecting because it's sativa dominant and I used CFLs...

    My First Harvest

    Somewhat "airy" buds - expected as it's Sativa dominant and CFLs - but surprisingly there was a very dense area, and it got moldy - that's what's in the ziploc. RH was 30-40%, airflow was so-so I guess. I have 2 4-inch fans in the box - may have to "open it up" more somehow. I just hope the...

    First Harvest - Need more humidity

    Box stays between 65 and 75 no problem, but RH is only 35%. I have a humidifier but, looking at the "wick" inside, it sure looks, uh, moldy. I'm not sure I want to stick a moldy old humidifier in the box with my first crop. Am I being paranoid?

    My First Harvest

    Thanks everyone! The beer bottle is normal size, it's about 2 inches behind the buds, I think, ,though. Perspective is off. Here is another one with the tape even with the bud on left. A good 18 inches for the left 2. One on right is smaller but way fatter - hard to tell from pics. I DO have...

    1st Grow - bubbles, CFL, too many plants

    16 weeks of flower. All done. These is the main and 2 sides, there is of course a lot more. Not bad for 300 watts of CFL and 22 square inches and first grow! Now, we wait for the dry and cure...

    Trichome inspection post cure?

    Mine seem to be stuck at 70% cloudy, 25% clear, 5% amber - for a couple of weeks now. Not sure what to do.

    1st Grow - bubbles, CFL, too many plants

    Thanks! Still no real signs of any amber. Lots of trichs still clear - I guess maybe "most" are cloudy. I just took some off 3 days ago for a quick dry and smoke and it was NOT very potent. The bitch of it is I've had my nute level really low for 2 weeks now in anticipation of harvest. I hate...

    1st Grow - bubbles, CFL, too many plants

    OK it's been 12 weeks of 12/12. I noticed sex after 3 weeks of 12/12, so I guess officially it has been flowering only 9 weeks? Man I am SOOOOO ready to smoke this. 6 or 7 days ago I did a res change and dropped to about 200ppm nutes - because I wasn't sure how close to ready it was. Didn't want...
