tested my watering water today, came out to be 7.6+ (maxed my scale out). how do i test my soil with a test tube and the ph testing drops?

everything has been going a lot smoother now. would still like to see the temp down a little (current 85deg). the humidity has been at 25% maybe a bit low. as for PH i've never tested it. i really need to get my typically half baked ass to wal-mart and get a tester. i'm pretty sure your right...

I understand, the thing is is that i put a vent in the only place possible and used it for outgoing air. The reason the room is sealed is because this is a stealth grow that I'm trying to keep from my room mates and the stench of a garden underneath the stairs would definitely be a give away...

Right now with the door open im sittin at 79deg. I have a 6in outlet with a 250cfm can fan i got at homedepo sucking air out. other than that there is no where fresh air can come in, its a fairly well sealed room with the plastic up. im going to put a slice in the plastic in the far low end of...

temp has been staying at around 95-100 deg. while in the light period and about 75 in the dark with the door closed. how crucial is it to the temp lowered during the light period? as i cant keep the closet door open all the time like i would like to

A little update: got the 600w HPS hooked up without the hood (on the way) and got the air vent put in the closet. Right now im just using a 250cfm can fan. The HPS lowered the Humidity ALOT and raised the temp to about 95 degrees! i try to leave the door open as much as i can, but its imposible...

just regular night crawlers or earth worms. i did do some searching on the forum but couldn't really find what i was looking for. so i tryed a few other forums and found this. "The worms will help balance the nutrients in case of over fertilzation which regularly happens and is a human mistake...

anyone ever experimented with putting a/few worm(s) in your potting soil?

been using distilled water sense day one :confused: Do you think all the Nutes in the soil are poisoning the young plants? only other thing i can think of is the seltzer water? has anyone had problems with it before?

Alright, got home tonight and stuck my finger down in the soil and it found that it was dry roughly 3 inches down, but that's after not watering sense wed. my soil is: Miracle-Gro potting mix Feeds plants up to three months I dont know whats going on... anyone?! Here's another one that...

I'm out of town till Sunday so ill see how she looks when i get back. no nutes as of now, but I've just been using a osculating fan in the sealed closet. ill leave the closet door open for a hour or two everyday to let fresh air in.

I noticed today that the ends of my largest plant are starting to turn yellowish. What can cause this? i water about every other day when the soil surface is hard to the touch. i also mist with seltzer water once a day. What could cause this?

I just happen to have bought 9 5gal buckets the other day to use as pots lol. i've always planned on topping and pruning to allow for the 5ft high sealing. Now to get the plants 2.5 feet i just run my lights 18/6 until the desired height than go to 12/12 to start the flowering? right? also...

I'm going to duct a 6' outlet that will draw air with a 125cfm inline from the top of the room and hopefully pull enough air from underneath the doorway. along with an osculating fan. like I'm using now, and leaving the door open for fresh air when i'm around. My main grow dimensions are 5x5x5...

sry, was to stoned and tired last night. ill try to clean them up.

:joint: Okay, so i messed around with a 400w HID and got no where. so i ordered a 600w hps and started to get my room ready for some real vegetation. I lined the entire room with 7mil plastic except for the doorway which surprised me by how much of a vacuum it still created. Those little...

Thanks dude, Although im sure someone has to know the answer.

Ventilation isn't as good as it should be since its under a staircase. so I'm just using a fan in the sealed room until i can afford to order or find a nice inline fan or a squirrel cage fan to duct it out of the room properly with. I'm hoping to save myself some money by using a HID lighting...

First of all i would like to say hello, and thanks for all the great posts. i've been reading the forums for quite some time now and it really helped me get started. So far i've just started sprouting 6 different bag(from decent buds) seeds i got from Northern MN under a 6ft 40w shop light...
