You're right, I misinterpreted what you were trying to convey. I agree with you, I don't think it's light burn, but in its current condition this seemingly normal amount of light may be doing it more harm than good. I dimmed it down 33% just before lights off last night and may go further...

I think municipal water varies greatly depending on region. Mine is pretty close to neutral, but that's something to consider. At work we have well water, so I could try that. I agree with you on most points. I think the addition of some sort of low wattage heating element on a thermostat would...

~75* F on, ~65*F off. Don't know, but I'm guessing a little lower with lights on and a little warmer with lights off. Under the pots there's a plastic tray, then a tarp, then a rug, then a wood floor. It's on the second story. There's 6 quantum strips in a 4x2 frame. Lights are a foot from...

I look at them them one or twice a day, if they start to look droopy I lift them up and do the finger check to check that they're feeling light. I don't let them get bone dry to the point where the soil repels water, but I could probably be more observant and. Water is tap water from the...

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I used a relatively inexpensive hm digital tds 4. I also purchased another relatively inexpensive hm digital tds 3, which I believe takes the temperature into account. I also bought calibration fluid. Without the fluid and second meter i suppose my...

Got around to doing a slurry test last night. Survey says.... Tds for the soil is 240ppm. Seems like I was wrong and they might be real under fed. Maybe the fert is old, I read the directions wrong, or I'm just plain not giving them enough. I'm going to try feeding them more and see where that...

I just did some googling and checking the runoff isnt the right way to check tds or pH. I'm going to get some soil, mix it 1:1 with distilled water, let that brew, strain it, and then test that water. Thanks for the tip. I didn't notice the stems were potentially abnormal

I have no idea. I'm in a mix of potting soil and perlite. I add fertilizer every other watering at the recommended ratio. That's about once a week. Hearing it out loud is making me cringe. It's a wonder they're alive. I just got a tds meter. If I check the runoff would that give me an idea of...

Thanks. I don't doubt they could use a drink, but I'm worried about misdiagnosing and doing the exact opposite of what's needed.

First plant should recover. I wouldn't feed it anything more than water though until it does. With the main stem broken it's effectively "topped". Auxillary shoots will grow from the growth tips in the little "elbows" (there's a pair at each node). I don't know about the second, but it's...

I tried the mosquito bits before and they didn't work nearly as well for me. You could try letting them soak in your water for a long time beforehand or mixing them into your soil. They're intended to treat pools of water where they're always wet. The yellow sticky traps are decently effective...

I've had good success with Gnatrol. "GNATROL WDG BTI kills fungus gnats soil/hydroponic OMRI organic". You can get a bag on ebay and add a bit to your water. Per the listing: Gnatrol WDG (Water Dispersible Granule) is a highly effective, natural biological control for fungus gnats. It...

These are two different strains - Gelat.OG and White Widow. both have the same problem. First pic it with ambient room lighting, second pic is under LEDs. Plants get about 33,000 lux at the canopy with 4,000k 80 CRI white LED quantum strips. Plants are in vegetative stage with light on 18/6...

It was for sure the timer. I simply set it up wrong and it didn't have sufficient light on time. This is above and beyond the discussion, but hypothetically if this plant were pollenated normally by a male do you think the seeds created would be more likely to herm? I'm learning towards...

This thread builds upon my last thread, which could e found here: https://www.rollitup.org/t/should-i-remove-the-bud-from-a-revegging-plant.1038636/ If nothing else, just look at the photos from November in the first post to see what it started with. These are them now: I started four...

I know plants can herm and self pollenate from stress experienced during the flowering phase. Do you know if a plant is more inclined to herm from earlier stress even if it's gotta better during the flowering phase? And by extension would that apply to clones (as it's the same plant) ? And what...

For sure. It's just dry soil and I vacuumed it out after the pic, but I've been neglectful. Would that happen with any reveg or potentially just this one because the bud? I wanted to let it grow until it had enough growth to cut off a bunch of it without killing it. Just to clarify, it's in...

I wanted to post an update with images. It took awhile, but my plants recovered. I left all the bud on this guy just to see what'd happen. Half the plant is growing decently with a shit load of pistils. The areas with the densest nugs have the most abnormal growth. It looks like it co tinued to...

I accidentally sent a small plant into flowering mode. I fixed the light cycle, but I also was fertilizing improperly by not watering til it came out the bottom, so over weeks it built up and all my plants stopped growing. After a long while they're finally showing signs of life again. For this...

Since I've last posted here I upgraded the lighting to quantum strips, lengthened the lights on period to 18 hours a day and put the two plants mentioned earlier in their own tent under quantum strips on 12/12 with a 730nm initiator at light out. Though they're small I'm happy with how they're...
