    Compost brewer/air diffuser recommendation

    We'rE="Richard Drysift, post: 12207034, member: 896148"]Last time I tried to use a bloom booster it threw off my ph & my plants got all fucked up- don't waste your money. I only give my plants in mid flower an AACT maybe once & they barely need it. AACTs are good for boosting populations of...

    Compost brewer/air diffuser recommendation

    Hi Richard. I am just entering mid flower right now and have been considering a bloom booster. I just have my flowers in Roots 707 soil and have brewed AACT Teas with much success. Most of the veg cycle was done in the 5 gal pots that they are still in, so i assume a lot of nutes have been...

    Building a compost pile!

    Do you stay away from paper that has been inked with synthetic ink? my employer throws away tons of paper all the time. I was thinking about using that for a cover layer every few layers. But it seems to me the inks would not be good. I know Down to Earth uses vegetable inks for their...

    Building a compost pile!

    Hey GreaseMonkeyMann. Is it not a good idea to start a compost pile if it rains? It's pouring down right now and i was intent on starting my pile today. I got a bag full of wet leaf and i don't want to keep it in their for too long. Unless like you've told me before, the nastier the compost...

    Building a compost pile!

    I'm looking forward to adding 2 Gavitas in my FR, since i am not utilizing a big portion of the space. I'm hoping that will add residual light to my nearby LED Setup. I basically made 2 squares of LED panels and hung a short socket 600w in between both of them. That works out but i noticed my...

    Building a compost pile!

    Hey guys, I'm intent on starting my compost pile tonight, but I don't have a nice rock to start one on like that. I was wondering what I should use as my compost floor, because I am assuming it would be wise to use a barrier between the compost and the ground. I have a bunch of rotted fruits and...

    ShLUbY's Garden

    Hey shluby. I use Safergrow Mildew Cure for powdery mildew and neem oil for mites. I have yet to knock out the population for good, probably due to shoddy construction and a wild grassy backyard, but I control them very nicely using those 2 on a rotation, although I haven't had to use mildew...

    Canoeing top growth, purple burn on leaf tips, fading leaves, and brown necrosis

    I wonder if I can nurse them back if I let them dry out and water way less from thereon.

    Canoeing top growth, purple burn on leaf tips, fading leaves, and brown necrosis

    Okay. I for sure identified them as springtails and I found out the problem. I got 2 donor plants recently from a friend and I checked their pots and they are very light. Those plants are extremely healthy. I compared them to my diseased pots and they are heavy as shit. I checked the drainage...

    Canoeing top growth, purple burn on leaf tips, fading leaves, and brown necrosis

    D o you know if root aphids are easy to find on the surface of the soil or If they localize to the root only? Do they hop like springtails do?

    yellowing, not sure.

    Hi JME. Are you implying that the yucca or sledgehammer would help or be a detriment to a plant in this condition? I'm assuming that the yucca would help? My plants are looking similar to the OP.

    yellowing, not sure.

    I have some vegging plants right now that look a lot like this. The yellowing and slight canoeing of the leaves (not major canoeing from high temps or lumens). However, mine have a lot of purple marks on the middle leaves and brown necrotic spots. I dont know what i'm doing wrong. Dont know...

    Canoeing top growth, purple burn on leaf tips, fading leaves, and brown necrosis

    No bueno. I'm thinking since there are millions of these in each pot, they must be bad. I hope to find a solution to control population. I will get my soil pretty dry before i rewater. And from then on, i will use a lot less water, as i believe that is one of my problems. But if there is...

    Canoeing top growth, purple burn on leaf tips, fading leaves, and brown necrosis

    If you look on the left side of the soil in my picture, you can see a lot of little long white bugs. Gotta look real close though. People keep telling me it is springtails and not to worry about those because they are harmless. But my plants are sickly and they are doing terrible, although my...
