so i tried coco... long story short - i don't like how it limits my options for nutrients and i don't like hand watering. the $ wasn't all wasted - i learned tons of info i wouldn't have otherwise had reason to and my girls in coco will provide clones for a while. thing is, i recently...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_jelly an interesting thought but i wouldn't use it mostly because its too easy to buy stable pH down that has easily predictable results. buying only products made for hydroponics is cheap insurance that cutting corners won't rob you of your investment...

#1. i'll never use my tap water to grow, regardless of what medium or nutes i'm using. as i said, my municipal water supply is recycled and carries lots of shit they don't bother to get out - 300ppm of it. i give that water to my dogs but not my family or my garden. #2. i've tried watering...

they look pratically the same as the pics that i posted on page 28 of this thread, just with some yellowing of the more damaged leaves and there's tiny little new shoots on some of them. i flushed with ro water that's at about 6.5pH and 0-5ppm. my runoff is getting more consistent, they must...

i flushed them for a couple days before the switch to canna nutes. i ran literally gallons of straight ro water through each pot each day. something crazy i didn't mention, the first time i fed with canna after flushing i gave them about 600ppm and the runoff was a 45ppm. i checked over and...

i've been feeding them all with the same mix, i probably should mix something lighter for the smaller ones... feeding canna coco a+b with advanced sensi cal/mg and voodoo. i use ro water that's at 6.5pH and <5ppm because my tap is 300ppm and fucking nasty chlorinated flouridated pharm'ed...

thanks for the replies, zen master and jberry. i guess i'm just wondering if these girls are going to be able to pull through, they look pretty bad mostly because its all the new growth that's fried and all the growing tips are fukt up. i have a set coming out of flower in about 2 weeks so...

i posted some ?'s in others' threads but maybe i'll be able to get a reply here... i've been growing dwc but i have some gdp, hindu skunk and puprle kush vegging in coco, all different ages. canna coco with added grodan croutons and perlite in 3gal pots with about 2" of hydroton in the...

i'm growing some indicas and a sativa hybrid all together in 3 gal pots of canna coco with added grodan coco croutons and perlite. they're vegging under 4' 6400k t5's and their space is kept 70-79F and 40-65% rh with lots of airflow to keep temps consistent. i was feeding with gh floranova...

very nice journal and those are some damn fine ladies you've got there! i had never seen a hermie flower like that till today, thanks for posting those pictures. i have 4 bubblegums that are 6 weeks along flowering right now along side a purple urkle and a hindu skunk. the bg's look to be my...

yeah, i saw that looking through some of al's stuff last night. its a sound reason for avoiding organics from the start but i was too ignorant to do that. also, in ca i can't get more than 7% H2O2 and that drug store stuff has nasty chemicals in it that i'd prefer not to even think i'm...

thanks for the advice gypsybush and fishenfool. i decided to transplant them to soil, finished up a few hours ago. there's a lot of leaves that are burnt from pH spikes but the roots actually looked better as i rinsed them and transplanted. i had been so preoccupied that i didn't notice a...

a buddy of mine told me to avoid organics, but yeah - general hydroponics florablend and floralicious plus are both organic. florablend is a compost tea i can stop using but floralicious plus is a N rich supplement i use as a foliar because i've read N deficiencies are common in flowering. i'll...

hope i'm not just kicking a dead horse for lack of options... i've got 6 girls in 5 gal dwc buckets, 2nd week of flowering and they're all about 2' tall bushy as hell. this is my first grow so i've been fighting ignorance the whole way, fucking up left and right. i had pH issues that...

general rule i've seen for soil is 1 gallon of root space per foot of vertical growth. seems kinda less black and white for hydro, but i wouldn't go below 1gal/1foot. my buckets stay between 3-3.5gal with 1 plant in each. the onlt tub i still use has three plants and stays between 7-8gal. the...

you can mix brands but you have to go by application. don't mix base nutrients and double up on everything but you can use base from one brand and supplements from another brand. ideally you should use all the same brand of products so you know they wont negatively affect each other. i am...

the grow is on day 28 now, the girls are coming along nicely. i had some root rot going, probably from too high of water temps. i got some goodies from advanced nutrients and started using them a few days ago. the root rot seems to have stopped but my solution was a nasty ass mess so they're...

i had some root rot going on a few of my girls in 5g buckets. i do a nightly ritual of changing frozen water bottles, checking ph and checking my girls so i noticed pretty quickly. looked like lightly colored brown slime spreading out from the dense masses of roots. i'm planning on flipping to...

i wouldn't have water flowing into the system at a ph of 7 - that could bite you in the ass real quick. i'm looking into doing a similar setup for my second grow, multiplanted tubs are a pita for anyone determined to wash their shit out regularly. my plan is to have 8 individually plumbed 5g...

damn. nothing?
