so just like a bottle of ice floating around? HMMMMM very good idea.

i have to agree. heat, alone, has nothing really to do with algae. algae is a product of light. because algae has to photosythesize to grow. heat will give you bacteria but algae and bacteria are not the same thing.

i heard something about someone using hydrogen peroxide for something with their grow what is that all about? and doesnt the brand grotek.. isnt that for co2

550 sounds good. ^_^ glad i could help

well mixed in with the water it wont be like that. in fact i dont even know what the ppm of my solution is. only once mixed in. remember you can always add more so dont do too much. i do about 1/2 strength of the nute solution and 1/2 of the supplement. again like i said, lets keep in touch on...

well i was doing quarter strength and that was obviously not enough because i got all that yellowing. so, i would say that 1/2 would have been sufficient even now i am just using like 1/2 strength foxfarm + 1/2 strength calcium magnesium. and i dont know what im going to do when i switch to...

what do i use for co2?

yeah i picked mine up on ebay, with shipping and everything it was 18 bucks? it was made by hanna?? i think. blue top with a black stick thing. looks uber 70s style but it works great. i might be wrong cuz im a newb but imho 1400 ppm is WAYYYYYYYY too high for veg. I dont even think you want...

word. you'll sizzle your plants

you NEED a ppm meter. i found this out the hard way. it's way way way to difficult without one. and trust me i got ripped a new one for not having one.. :( my ppm is like 450, and im 2nd and 3rd week of veg. (some of my plants are at different weeks because of a cat mishap)

UPDATE: So i think ive decided to NOT top our survivor. or if i do, to do it when i come back. im afraid that in topping it, it will get more bushy and take over more of the light which needed for those plants in round 2, they're already growing slow enough as it is without this MONSTER...

Actually it wasn't nute burn it was like nute depletion. it's not that early the survivor plant is in its 3rd week. and as soon as i added the nutes, a couple days later it went away, i havent seen any yellowing since then. it wasn't so much nutes as it was a depletion of calcium and magnesium...

I dont know which is female on any of them? I don't know if I should clone I don't really have anywhere to put them after they root. I;ll take some more pictures today and someone give me a clear precise place to cut

^^ wait i thought topping was lopping off the literal top of the plant? so effectively i want it to grow upward as little as possible and more OUTWARD. but where are these new branches coming from? sorry im confused. i just dont want to do it and do it wrong ya know cuz it's not like once i do...

right but my worry is that, i dont want them to get too bushy because of room.. so you think i should cut off the very bottom branches? i think that would be okay, since they are all yellow from that lack of supplement issue. do i just cut them right off? as you can see with the round 2 they...

UPDATE: havent 'topped' anything yet. still deciding if its a good idea. Here's an overshot of everyone: Day 21 of survivor: It's growing more. ^_^ Heres a top view and here's a shot (sorry for the blurryness) but you can kinda see this tiny leaves in the nooks of the branches...

so the males have little testes

Still growing and such, I didnt top yet, still a little unsure if i should. Ill take some pictures tomorrow. got a tiny tiny yellow dot on one of the fan leaves of the survivor i figure this means add more nutes. so i put a little more of the cal/mag and the foxfarm. pH is at about 5.8 PPM is...

I like that 2nd picture. :)

So no topping? :( OKAY
