    just sprouted curling and yellowish fiest leaves? under soil.

    Put a 6" Buddha in the grow space & provide it a daily offering of 1 joint and 1 shot of booze. Not just any booze but Hennessey or a blended Scotch. Buddha is very particular about his booze. Do this for a week & if Buddha is pleased, he will provide you with health plants & a fruitful yield.

    just potted, advice needed

    Start out at 1 foot, hold your had just above the pot & if the light burns your hand, move the light up another 6 inches. A 250w should be able to go as close as a foot without scorching your plant & (or) the pot it's in but use the hand test because once you get going & get some more powerful...

    clone of a clone

    Yes, you can make a clone of a clone. The same rules apply to making a clone of a clone that you did when making a clone from a mother plant. In perpetual harvests, some people will actually make new mother plants out of clones every 6-8 months. This ensures that a mother plant doesn't take over...

    need ventilation help

    I know you've updated this but a rule of thumb for ventilation is you want to get a CFM fan that contains twice the total amount of CFM's as you have square feet cubed in your space. 10x10x7.5=750 sq ft cubed x 2 = 1500 CFM fan. This ensures you will move your air out expediently enough to...

    Can the Sex of a Clone be Different Than the Mother Plant?

    It is impossible for the plant to become male when taken from a female plant. The chromosomes will ALWAYS be XX & not XY (male chromosome) but as mentioned above, if you stress your plant out too much you will induce the hermaphroditic condition because the plant thinks it isn't going to not...

    thinking about starting a sog grow

    If you are going to grow a SOG it's advised that you seriously plan out everything in advance. How many plants are you looking to harvest & what kind of flowering time is suggested for your setup. Soil or Hydro? Weekly, bi-weekly, tri-weekly, or monthly harvests? There are a TON of variables to...

    just sprouted curling and yellowish fiest leaves? under soil.

    Get your hands on a cheap PH & moisture meter & also get a fan blowing in that setup of your's to get some air movement going. If you're using straight potting soil from a local store of greenhouse, a lot of the time it's very acidic. You also need to make sure that your soil is being allowed to...

    First grow several problems...

    If you notice the plants getting worse overnight then I would start a fresh batch of newts asap. If you see that the damage isn't progressing forward it will take sometime BUT your plants will begin to show signs of overcoming the shock within a few days or so. Within a solid week tey will...

    First grow several problems...

    The fan is going to help cool the temps down and lower your relative humidity. Your plants are showing stress from the PH, temps, & nutrient shock. The more closely you monitor your water, air, & light the more stable your grow is going to be. For future reference you may want to start your...

    how do u go about getting with a company as a beginning grower?

    Try growing & curing your own first to show a proven track record that you know what you're doing. Generally a successful business person will hire people through word of mouth or because they see a proven history that the person applying for the job knows what they are doing. :D

    Just Got My Seeds! Ready to Rock! White Widows, First Grow, 4 Months in Waiting!

    Metal halide bulbs are very efficient and produce a light that is close to full summer sun, with a spectrum rich in the blue end. This promotes fast vegetative growth and compact, stocky plants with short internodal leaf spacing. MH bulbs come in sizes from 70-1500 watts with the 250w, 400w...

    Few problems. Diagnosis?

    This combined with problem #2 tells me you could have over fertilized your plants. Keep a watchful eye trained on them for the next few days & if the problem persists or gets worse, flush your growing medium & re-add nutrients at 1/4-1/3 less strength than you had administered to them before the...

    Will somebody who has any knowedge take a look at my pic 2 c if this is normal!!!

    The plant is pulling the available P or K from the leaves & putting it into the bud production. This isn't something to be alarmed about & if a leave is 50% or more damaged, remove it so the plant can exert it's energy into the healthy leaves etc.
