    PPM Chatter

    Should it be assumed that his tap water has sufficient calcium and magnesium for mj's needs? 43 ppms for his tap water seems low enough where he *might* actually need cal/mag or a suitable substitute. Most water reports are available in major cities that can give accurate measurements in ppm's...

    Time

    Germination - 2-4 days. Veg until clone-able - 4-5 weeks, one source states that clones should be taken from mothers who are 2 months old (Cervantes Grow Bible). Clone - to root and harden 1-2 weeks. Clone Veg - Not really needed (as per Al B. Fuct's perpetual system) - otherwise 1-3 weeks...

    PPM Chatter

    Aqua Fina water is basically RO water in that it uses reverse osmosis to filter it clean. They may add minerals after the fact I'm not sure. The bottled water you're thinking about is likely "spring water" like Evian which is basically tap water if I'm not mistaken. 40 ppms tap water is...

    Dyna-Gro vs Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur (AK47 Grow)

    This is going to be an awesome show hb. I've already switched to DG nutes in large part due to your earlier journal. I love the simplicity and low maintenance that I've had using the DG line of nutes. The only thing I've added to the 3 main bottles is a FloraNectar from GH as I noticed that the...

    1st Drip Hydro Grow - (10) Bubble Ice F/ Autoflowers, EcoGrowers, 357Magnum LEDs

    Looking good so far. Your Ph seems a bit high for hydro but it's something you seem aware of. Ph of 5.8 is usually recommended for hydro grows as operating within + or - .2 of this mark means that the majority of nutrients/minerals will be available for the plant. As far as sexing goes I've...

    Nice update! My girls are doing great. My runt is looking like she'll be a week or so early so I'm going to be trying the flood 1 day and 3 days darkness to see if it helps. I posted pics in another thread yesterday, maybe I can dig a link up. --> Update

    Starving Roots from Oxygen before Harvest for Early Cure?

    This is the thread that's been mentioned. The argument is basically drowning a plant starts the process of curing early by removing oxygen to the roots of the plant. Isn't this essentially the same thing as cutting a branch off and hanging it upside down? Both seem to me removing the plant of...

    Want to Know If Your Plants are Finished?

    Day 51 of 12/12. Strain states that estimated harvest time is 65-70 days. I desire a "cerebral" high so if anything harvesting a bit early is desired. I just don't want to harvest too early entirely. This one seems to be kind of the runt of my plants and appears to be maturing faster with...

    Grow Tent Question and Size Of Plants

    No problem mate. I had the same issues in my tent and went with LSTing as well but sadly I did mine during flowering so it wasn't as effective as if I had started during veg. My LST still worked however so I'm happy and have great insight on what I need to be doing for my next crop :)

    is this normal smallest plant biggest buds?3 weeks 12/12

    This is due to the fact that the smaller plant only has 1 spot or cola to focus on when flowering versus the other plants that have to spread hormones to all of the flowering spots.

    First Grow (Vortex and JTR Clones - Need Help!)

    Well for clones that have not rooted properly they have to intake water from their leaves so high humidity is required (@ 70-80%). Once the roots form is when you want to harden clones off a bit and possibly clip leaves to lower transpiration.

    Lighting Times and a Few Other Qs

    I'd just slowly shift the time an hour per day until the desired schedule is reached for minimal shock but I don't think doing it in one day is going to hurt it much either. I think with a 600 watt light you could start @ 2 feet away and slowly work your way down. You could alternatively judge...
