djxtreme, thank you. This is exactly what I've been searching so long for. I will also adjust my PH after I add nutrients. I was adjusting it before adding nutes in the past. May I ask what your ratio for veg is? and if you use a 1:1:1 ratio when switching between veg and flowering?

Hey man, This is coming from another beginner but... I've heard that a flat white painted surface reflects 99% of the light that hits it. I've also heard that if mylar crinkles, it can concentrate light and burn your plants. Just a thought. Happy growing.

I've been monitoring my PH with the general hydroponics kit that has a liquid you drip into a small vial filled w/ reservoir water. Then compare the colour it changes to a scale on the side of the bottle. Tonight I'm ordering a EC / PH electronic tester to gain greater accuracy. I've been trying...

About my grow: - DWC bubbler 12L water in 18L bucket - 6.0 PH (using 3.5 - 4 ml PH DOWN) - GH flora series - 20% strength of directions on bottle - 24 C (75.2 F) w/ constant air circulation - 50% humidity - 36" tall - clone planted, vegging started March 13th, 2013 - flowering started 12/12 May...

You know I have yet to learn about E.C. Thanks for tipping me off. I'm going to educate myself. I don't have a meter to measure it yet... And thanks Natureboy, I will note the difference between top and bottom leaves, and keep and eye on P and K during bloom because that is when the rusty claws...

Here's where I'm coming from; last batch of plants I harvested had problems with nutrient burn. I was using 30 to 40% strength GH flora series. The first symptoms I noticed before they got bad was curling, browning tips. I'm now running 20% and the leaf tips are just starting to curl. Today I...

Chamber B is now at day 62 since the 12/12 cycle started. After some discussion on the forums I've learned that I'm burning the shit out of my ladies. I downed my formula from 40% to 20% and took some control pictures. It looked like they were still burning a little so now I'm down to 10% of the...

6 x 23w = 100w CFL placed <3" from tops.

You are correct tussel. The two on the outside are taken from 46 days ago when they first showed sex. The two middle ones I look on Feb. 20th when flowering was about a month underway.

First of all, thanks to everyone for the advise. Funny how wet feet can make your success rate go from 0 to 100%. Resilient little bastards. Especially the one on the far left.

Thanks for the prognostics! I've heard about running straight water for a period of time towards the end near harvest. Is this a good idea?

I'm using 40% of the recommended strength indicated on the GH flora series bottles. I've got two small computer fans on my light frame pointed down for circulation. The temp at the top is 22C 71.6F and the base is 20C 68F. The humidity sits at 50%. PH is 6.5 It looks like nutrient burn to me...

Another area of potential error is that when I took the clones I didn't use sharp enough scissors. I have a sterile scalpel now for my next attempt. Maybe I should be using distilled water too...?

Outside the domes the humidity is 30%. I'm using tap water. I suspect the tap water is hard. I've seen calcium deposits on kitchenware. Those temps are taken beside the heat mat which is why I moved it. Now it's on the floor and the clones are about 12" above it. The temperature in the chamber...

The yellowing...

I've been flowering for about a month and a half now and I'm getting lots of fan leave turning brown around their edges; I read somewhere that during flowering the plant puts all it's energy into bud production and therefore some fan leaves might turn yellow and fall off. Another thing I have...

I'm losing this war. This will be the 3rd session of taking clones since the origin. I've not had a single mother, I have been taking clones from clones. Is this a problem? My success rate in previous attempts have been around 60-70%. But now 0%. They are losing their colour. Here's what they...

Here's the setup. I've got two chambers to grow in. They are 30"x20"x92" each. There's a space between the chambers that I've have heated to 28C (82.4F) and I have the door slightly open to allow the convection of the hot air to keep the air flowing. This is my temporary ventilation system until...

Wow I don't know how I missed that one! Oh wait, I know.... :bigjoint:Thanks!

I read in the FAQ that you have to be allowed to make a journal. I've searched but not been able to find any more info on the subject. Can anyone help me out please? :joint:
