    Seedling problem

    I had a seed pop with fused leaves that after 4 days needed to be cut open with a razorblade so the serrated ones could come through. Looked weird AF and stunted for the first week or two but now it has almost caught up to its sister that popped at the same time. The growth is different though...

    Is my seedling dead?

    I had a similar issue recently which I think was damping off from overwatering. I tried everything I could and the 2 that showed symptoms never recovered and ended up getting pulled after about 5 days of effort. The other two germd at the same time are going strong now. Id say get ready to start...

    Perlite and Ph?

    Hey all, I've been trying for weeks to figure out what is causing the ph in my res to constantly rise and after about 10 different tests on water at every stage in the system I've narrowed it down to the medium and/or something in the bucket with it. Just to let people know it is a 4 bucket...

    Help - It Smells like Shit!

    Okay so i have an h2o2 solution and root stimulant mix (will post a pic of details later) from the local shop. Also changed nutes to a better brand as what i previously had was really not great and caused a lot of ph problems due to a buffer agent. Balancing the res 4 times a day was a bitch...

    Help - It Smells like Shit!

    Okay so it sounds like the flush is what has caused the coco ones to deteriorate. Will they come good again now they are back to regular feeds or will i need to use the phytoff stuff? Any advice on the green algae in the perlite? Thanks again guys, this is my first grow and just trying to get my...

    Help - It Smells like Shit!

    Thanks heaps guys. Seems like the smell is stronger with the watering so it could be from the pipes sitting stagnant. Will rip the drains apart this weekend and redo so they dont sit in the pipes and have direct flow back to res. Still strange that ive had the issues in the coco ones if the...

    Cheers for the quick replies. Run off read between 500-600 ph 6.3. Have stuck my nose into everythjng i can and cannot locate a source for the smell which makes me think it may be something dead in the wall or roof. Still strange that all the plants have been hit with similar issues at the same...
