I'm a newbie on my first grow so don't take my advice as gospel. The yellowing of the "baby leaves" is OK. The plant is generating upwards growth as long as this continues, a few of the bottom leaves yellowing and falling off is normal. Your brown tips are not really bad at all, barely...

Al, coming from you that's quite a compliment! Thanks! I have read many of your posts and learned a great deal from them so thank you!

Whenever panhead. Take it easy. I've been (am) in the same boat. Take care of yourself and your wife, we can wait but appreciate your dedication.

Well AlB, your diagrams showed a coffee can with fins and a secondary can over the one with fins to hold the light so the rain cap would just replace the first can or... The rain cap can be outside the dryer with a bulb wired inside it. A "S" shaped light trap using pvc or galvanized elbow...

AlBFuct; To increase the surface for the coffee tin by adding fins, how about we replace the coffee tin with a Class B Rain Cap such as the one shown in the attached image. Its aluminum so it will dissipate the heat evenly and quickly and the fins are already cut. They run about $8 at Menards...

Dear Panhead, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife. I have learned allot from your threads and would just like to say you have already gone above and beyond contributing and being a valued member of this forum. Many Thanks. Take care.

I'm watching too! Thanks

So it looks like my light bulb idea wasn't a waste on bandwidth after all! OK 100 watt incandescent light inside a coffee tin and hooked to a dimmer. You adjust the dimmer to get the temperature you want. Put one of those radio temperature gauges in the dryer and you should be set to go!

Yes, a forum dedicated to coco or soilless growing. Maybe a subforum of the hydroponic forum.

Glad to hear! When using coco, flushing (with correct ph water) always seems to be the right thing when you're having problems. Hard to hurt the plant by over watering in coco due to its properties. In soil you have to be a little more careful but you have to get the bad stuff out. That is why...

Don't take the rockwool out. You will upset the roots. Coco is good because it is difficult to overwater. It drains well and draws air into the medium when you water. Just make sure the plants don't sit in water (that is, make sure the plate the pot sits in is dry). Your plant doesn't look all...

UPDATE: Third plant ph runoff at 4.6 and wouldn't budge! Water in was PH of 6.0 and I used 2 gallons of water on a 3 gallon pot. Is ph runoff even significant in a soilless medium?

I am growing in a 50/50 Coir/Peat Moss mix with a touch of perlite for good measure. Fox Farm nutes ph'd at 5.8 (after the nutes were added) but my runoff is measuring 5.1 on one plant and 5.5 on the other (it was a water to almost 30% waste versus volume). Should I be concerned? Is it also...

I really screwed up mine and they did an almost miraculous recovery overnight. Your ph is way to high. I'd drop it now since it's only going to get worse. Also, your ph'ing the water AFTER you put your nutes in right? That's the way to do it.

YES! Don't water with your present water anymore! Drop the ph to 5.8. i has similiar problems; https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/59937-light-green-leaves-top.html Check this the very first comment of this thread which states; We have one friend who keeps his ph at 5.2. Ours...

I have a RO and have been using RO water but I also have a well that has a high iron content. Can I use this or will the high iron damage my plants?

Did you use a regular green bulb? I mean, any old incandescent green one? I'm getting ready to flower soon and was always wondering if I needed a green horticultural bulb or if a plain green one off the shelf would do.

I disagree. Fox Farm nutes are organic! Earthworm castings, Norwegian kelp, bat dodo, all that good stuff. That don't sound chemical to me. As to question from enjoikr3w, NO no nutes after flush. Flush should be with room temp water and 2 to 3 times the volume of the soil. Blow the bad stuff...

P.S. Dear Buster, That was some reaserch bro! .03 lumens per square foot. WOW. Where the hell you find that! LOL

Go with the pro's. They say seal light leaks (as well you should since they are also a security breach). Use foam door gaskets, tarps on wire, whatever you have too. Your already pushing Mother Natures envelope by growing inside. You have to keep as much consistant with "Mom" as you can...
