    fungus gnats

    We moved!:fire: ................... After trying everything else. Think the landlord had the walls torn down and the place remodeled. Maybe you should have a professional do a thorough inspection, if its a serious problem.

    nutes help, using miracle grow to vedge

    I have been using Miracle grow nutes in veg, and learned that it's easy to over-do it. Never over half strength! I think mayhaps 1/4 is best. I found I good flowering mixture at Lowes for cheap, that's by schultz. It says for cactus, but its a 2-7-7. It seems to be working well for mine during...

    Does this look close to you??

    Looking good man! I say one more week wouldn't hurt. Dont know if I'd water much more. Nows a good time to snip a branch so you can compare the difference in harvest times. bongsmilieI just trimmed a couple off mine to see if waiting makes THAT big a difference in buzz. +1 on the rep!

    My first real (cheap) grow w/records

    The babies seem to be growing a little slower now. I had a small issue with ph, and my meter was out of calibration, so I upped it WAY too much and one of my plants seemed to suffer some leaf discoloration. Since then Ive been watering with plain tap water, the ph of it is actually 6.7 (which is...

    purple stems

    Mine have purple stems on the tops of a few top branches. The leaves up top are showing red veins too. This isn't the first time ive noticed. Im about a month into flower, and it seems like the purple shows any time I'm doing serious ph adjustments, or adding nutes. The color is accompanied by...

    Another DIY cooltube temp reference

    Ahh, the joy of growing in a basement! The little 150W i got unvented could probably be just hanging in there w/o the tube at all. I just feel better about shielding bulbs. The 150 puts out barely enough light for me babies, but im in no rush w/veg and gna do some lst. Gna put the 400 in there...

    My first real (cheap) grow w/records

    Newest update. I got the Hood in and it is damn awesome!! The light on the plants has probably doubled, and the room is cooler. Not to mention I can see now cuz the light is aimed down! The budz are filling out nicely! I think the light has more to do with that than the nutes, but oh well...

    Cristal Paradise on a budget

    Thanks! I play with my setup so often its rediculous. Smoke a bowl, move some shit. Too bad I cant smoke myself into making the plants grow faster! I mean LOTS faster. Here's an update on my room setup changes. Also, Ive updated my spreadsheet and included baby pics. Hopefully as my setup...

    Another DIY cooltube temp reference

    I can't take any of the credit on this, I got the bake-around idea from another thread here. You'll know it when you find it. Just be sure to keep the glass clean, and know that you are suffering some light losses. I got a new yieldmaster for my 400w, and it seems a TON brighter than the...

    Problems blooming

    I waited too long to flower mine, and have had to sacrifice about 6" off the top of 2 (out of 5) for the greater good. I started flowering at 10" and now Im up to 40". HA! I got red stems on mine, but seems to be genetic, they are growing like weeds. Sometimes the redness carries down the stems...

    Another DIY cooltube temp reference

    Okay, I built the neat-o bake-a-round cooltube. Its not quite 4" around, but it will fit a 400 watt hps with some room to spare. Here's the lowdown on what Ive found about the temps. 1 150watt cooltube vented with 4" hose and a vacuum drawn by a small computer fan = room teperature glass...

    Burned tips, Nute burn?

    In soil, my savior has always been plain, clean, luke-warm tap water flush. I use water thats sat out for a couple days, and flush, flush flush. I know you're not in soil, but from all the reading Ive done, it seems easier to correct and spot plants that need nutes, rather than fix ones that...

    Newbie pH problems

    I am a total noob at soil, never even tried hydro. Anyhow, the thought occurred to me: Does PH change according to water temps at all? Well, not so much as the true PH, but maybe the meter doesnt accommodate for temps? Have you tried using another meter to verify your results? Like I said, just...

    Cristal Paradise on a budget

    2 out of 10 seeds survived the soil. Another learning experience. DONT plant your seeds too deep. Yes, 1" is too deep. Also, DONT keep the little bastards drenched in water. All my other variables were perfect! At least I know the two left are probably going to be some tough little...

    My first real (cheap) grow w/records

    I started back on the nutes (2-7-7). I'm about 4-5 weeks into flowering, and i think its going to take another 3-4 till harvest. I have been flushing them regularly and they love it! I plan on Flushing in a week, and adding nutes one last time (if I dont see any suspected nute burn like last...
