    HeLP!! my plants are budding and there only 8 inches tall!

    I would think that they would atleast spread out a bit...I gotta ask, how far is your light away from them? Perhaps they might stretch out a bit more if you distance your light from them ever so slightly... Just a thought... :joint...

    Why does PH Rise after Brewing a Fresh Batch of Nutrients?

    Ive noticed the same thing, and always thought that its because the source water has a pretty high PH. I try to skip (unless its really crazy) altering the PH right after adding ferts. Because as you said, pretty much the next day it comes right back. I cant do it that way all of the time, but...

    Anyone Use FF Soluble Pack? Are they Really Needed

    Aeroponics PH help!!!!!!!

    Ph always gets crazy for a minute when feeding, but then it seems to iron out after about 10 hours.. I agree 5.6 -6.3 is where you need to be. How does everything look? Any spots or discoloration? How do you roots look?

    pH swings and temperature/humidity question

    ph should be kept from 5.6 to 6.3 So if ph is dropping when it gets to 5.6 add ph up till 6.3 and let it drift slowly back down..Same thing for ph up, when it gets down to 5.6 up it to about 6.3 and let it drop.. So your asking about temp/humidity probe placement? Id place it near the highest...

    flooded with 60 deg water

    My understanding is that 60 degree water is not really a bad thing at all. I heard somewhere that lower temp water actually carries or holds more oxygen. I think your gonna be ok J

    HELP!! Algae or root rot...lots of pics (posted in plant problems also)

    I’d clean out that res as best as you can a.s.a.p.. There are 2 products that I would highly recommend.. They would be instead of that hydrogen peroxide… 1: Hygrozyme... It cleans the medium and helps prevent disease. Used throughout the entire grow—except during flushing. 2 Roots...
