    drastic ph fluctuation

    if possible, transplant into soil. get a good potting mix, and add micorhizzae. chappys power organics from plantitearth.com will work well. i dont know if you're a first time grower, but soil is very forgiving and much easier to care for. i dont know how you are flowering in rockwool cubes....

    3 week veg and the leaves r drooping nasty

    hey buddy, check temps. could be burning or could be overnuting. nute burn generally makes the leaves curl under, so this could be a problem. make sure the growing medium is well aerated, and give it a good flush. leave them alone for a few days, switch over to the foxfarm nutes easily, and...

    drastic ph fluctuation

    also i should mention that higher alkalinity creates nutrient lockup. that could be a problem. if the nutes have locked, they are no longer chelated and unavailable to the plant. post some pics if at all possible and i can help you out a LOT more.

    drastic ph fluctuation

    oh sorry, didnt read first post fully.... i just saw rockwool, thought rockwool cubes (seeds//cuttings). well into flower, your ph should be about 5.8 for hydro systems. im assuming you are using hydro, since you are using rockwool... which i should mention is a bit of an odd growing method, but...

    drastic ph fluctuation

    youre probably overnuting... i rarely use nutes on seedlings, and only like once every third watering if that. my ph stays around 7 for seedling growth. i think you should give them a good flush with a ph neutral water, and let them be for a few days. keep temp at 70-75-80 (75 preferred), and...

    Standard HPS vs EYE Hortilux enhanced bulb

    Go for enhanced HPS if possible. It throws out a higher CRI and Lumens. If it's 2x the cost, however, its not worth the expense.

    Paper towels dried during germination. Are my seedlings going to die?

    your chances of them living are good, however they will have a very slow start to life. your best bet is to get them in some really good potting soil, throw in some micorhizzae, and let nature do the rest. but for future reference.... i usually just plant right in the soil. they sprout above...

    Lowryder 2 hybrids

    haha, i know man... i understand the frustration. out of 50 plants, im left with 46. all are doing well and entering the vegetative stage. my foxfarm nutrients lineup just came in, so im going to start a journal on how well they compare to other nute lineups. also, my "chappys power organics"...

    Bag Seed vs. Amsterdam stuff

    nothing wrong with bagseed at all. in fact if you get good bagseed, you can grow it out to sensimilla, thereby improving the quality. the potency is genetically determined, but the gardener can improve quality with good growing methods. i ask everyone i know who smokes to save any good bagseed...

    How Easy is it to Cross Strains?

    seems that what people dont understand here is that in "mother nature" the plant crosses itself all the time. nothing wrong with this "inbreeding". it doesnt hurt the plants in any way.

    Lowryder 2 hybrids

    How Easy is it to Cross Strains?

    except, you wont make "super" versions by crossing same lineage. more uniformity will occur than mix matching, but most offspring will be comparable to the originals.

    Lowryder 2 hybrids

    Update: I have started several new strains for crossing. A couple new and a couple that i previously had pollen for but seemed to have misplaced. ICE, white satin, satori, speed queen, skunk #1, original thai haze x skunk #1, and nirvana special have been started. I will start Lowryder in 1...

    Hot Topic: Molasses Explained!

    haha, indeed. I do know that when ive used molasses it helped. I didnt do a side by side specifically, but when clones from a strain were used in a second grow, second grow using molasses, yield was 12% higher. the only difference between the two grows was the addition of blackstrap.
