    Nitrogen deficincy? need help, or quick reply

    Here's my suggestion... Flush one more good time. Make sure you use 3 gallons of Ph Balanced water for each gallon of pot size you have, and a flushing aid if those are available where you are. Fox Farm makes one called Sledge Hammer, Advanced Nutrients makes one called Final Phase, and...

    My first Closet Grow on Low Budget ( 2 x Aurora Indica 2 x Short Rider Auto ) 2012

    Sorry - one more thing... How long did your homemade CO2 generator last? Could you tell any difference after you added it to the grow? I was thinking about adding one to my room, but I'm already in flower, and my understaning is CO2 is most helpful during the vegetative state.

    My first Closet Grow on Low Budget ( 2 x Aurora Indica 2 x Short Rider Auto ) 2012

    I know it hasn't been too long yet, but you got another update for us? Just started from the beginning of your journal and read my way through - Have to say... PROPS buddy. Things are looking great. For your first harvest ever, you should be extremely proud - you did very well. I do have a...

    Short Rider Auto from Nirvana : First Harvest - May 2012 - 94 days from seed

    Thanks for the info... Great to hear others opinions on the strain I'm growing. I'm on about day 40 under 250 HPS 18/6, and my taller girl is 3'6" tall. She's not stretchy though. Once the buds fill out I don't see any reason I couldn't pull an OZ or maybe 2.

    Auto's life-cycle

    @ Allenbud - I guess it's just an advertising scheme when Seedbanks & Breeders claim 60 days from seed to harvest. But maybe I just got a weird pheno. My plants are around 45 days old now, and I think they still have a month to go - BARE MINIMUM! They have surprised me though in their growth...

    Auto's life-cycle

    @ superjoint. I'm not sure if there's algae in my soil or not. I did have these gnats in a previous grow, but that was my fault. There weren't even any drainage holes in the container I was using. Had bad root rot and fungus gnats. That was a while ago. I thought I had eradicated them and...

    Lighting efficiency question - Dimmable, Selectable, or regular Ballast?

    Thanks for confirming that! That was my suspicion, but with all the people I know who are doing it, I kind of doubted myself. I may go with one of the newer Lumatek selectable ballasts though. They seem like the way to go. Definitely better than dimming down a normal ballast to the power I...

    Auto's life-cycle

    OHhh, and I'm going to start using the ChaChing on my next feeding. It says to use in the last 2 weeks of flower before flush. I hope I'm not that close yet becuase my buds haven't really started filling out, but I think it will be ok to go ahead and start now. I'm just going to be super...

    Auto's life-cycle

    I've always been afraid of using foil as I've heard it causes hot-spots. I guess I could give it a try though. I would like to protect the soil. I was kind of lazy and didn't cover my carpet in the room with anything, so I mixed up a concentrate of the Azamax in a spray bottle and treated the...

    Lighting efficiency question - Dimmable, Selectable, or regular Ballast?

    SO, I was shopping for a new light and ballast today, and had a question that even my very experienced "mentor" at the hydro shop couldn't answer very clearly. I am not on a very large scale. My grows are strictly for personal use - and I don't smoke huge quantities - 2 plants at a time keeps...

    Update Journal Format??

    I absolutely love this forum and all of the pros who are willing to pass along their knowledge. I only have one beef with the design of the site. The "My Journal Section" just doesn't flow very good. I've had people tell me that they don't visit my journal often becuase of the format, and I...

    Fungus Gnats?

    Thanks guys. I've applied the Azamax already, and plan to do it until the last 15 days before harvest, or until they're all dead - whichever comes first. I know I should have covered the carpet with some plastic or panda film before ever starting my grow, but I neglected it for some reason...

    Fungus Gnats?

    Sooo, I applied the Azamax last night and I'm praying it worked. I haven't seen any of those lil guys today, but I know it's too soon to tell. My wife asked me what seemed like an ingenious question, and I wanted to throw it out here to see if anyone had some input. She has this cleaning...

    Skunky Munkey Grow 1

    I don't like it either. I just started it in the "My Journal" part of this site. When I started it I didn't know the formatting would be so terrible. And I'm too lazy to copy eveything into a new thread. Is there a way to convert a journal into a thread? Or at least choose a different...

    Skunky Munkey Grow 1

    They're definitely looking nice. CAN'T wait to see them in a couple weeks! I don't recall reading the particulars of the tea you made up. What was in it? Or was it store-bought? Have you ever used tea's during flowering? If so maybe you could hook me up with a recipe or something, I would...

    Auto's life-cycle

    <<--- I know this is off-topic, but look at this weirdo stalk! I think she may have herpes. Going by the comments from where I posted this earlier, most said it was just where roots tried to come out and then got pruned by the light and oxygen. Still - it's definitely odd looking. About 1-2...

    Auto's life-cycle

    @superjoint. Glad things are going well. Can't wait to see how your girls end up. Going to put some pictures in this post of my girls from earlier today. I guess I'm happy with them. We'll just have to see how things go. I am happy that I seem to have these Fox Farm nutrients "dialed in"...

    Auto's life-cycle

    @knowmad. You CAN do whatever you want. If it were me though, I would give your plants some sort of lights out period. As hard as we try, we very rarely beat mother nature at her own game. So why not try to replicate her as closely as possible? If your boss said "I need more production...

    When to switch to Flowering Nutrients?

    I'm glad I started giving them flowering nutrients when I did. If I had continued with the Fox Farm Grow Big, I don't think I'd have room for both of them in my little closet. These pictures are from about ten minutes ago. I know they look yellow in the pictures, but I can assure you, they are...

    Skunky Munkey Grow 1

    Loving the root pictures berkman. Especially the ones that are starting to branch off. They are nice and pearly white! PROPS buddy. Have you figured out what's causing the problem with your leaves? Is it too much nutrients, a defficiency, or something else altogether? Hope you get that...
