Hey again, I definitely wouldn't toss the plant at all, didn't mean to come across like I was saying that. Next time you are at the grocery store pick up a little ivy house plant to practice good watering techniques, far less stressful than your cherished seeds!

I'm no expert, but I think both are going to be equally bad. Assuming you are using soil, the way that I found works the best to tell when the plants need water is to get familiar with the weight of the pot when the dirt is dry and in need of water. Once you know that weight (you can even use a...

What do you use fatty fat fat?

You made me "wat". Seriously though, wat? I'd be embarrassed to admit how much time I spend reading up on growing currently. When I ask these questions... it's because I didn't see the answer in the past couple weeks of browsing the forum :P

Seedlings definitely need water more than every eight days! The roots on a seedling aren't more than a couple inches deep in soil at that height anyways, so if the top couple inches are dry it will not do good! Other possibilities for what could be wrong... the plant looks like it is a little...

Have you flushed ("leeched") them at any point? I had flushed my plants with the wrong pH water without knowing it. I just used the same tap water that I was using for watering, which at my place has a pH of 7.5+ I think my plants got nute lockout from incorrect pH. The gentleman who posted...

Are there RO systems that are sub $200? I am finding tons of systems that can do 100 gallons a day... but I dont need anything close to that. Perhaps there are less expensive ones that I am just not finding because I am using the internets wrong? Thanks for the advice, I might just have to bite...

I'm in the process of setting up a multi tub DWC setup. Each tub is going to be holding about 14 gallons of water, 6 plants per tub Do you DWC guys make weekly trips to the grocery store and buy them out of distilled water? Or does everyone just use aquarium drops? My home tap water sits at...

Once again, thanks for all the great info. I didn't know that those enzyme mixes were doing the same thing as H202. Looks like another trip to the hydro store is in order... I think I'll just pick up one bottle of everything as I keep finding out I need all these bottles that looked useless when...

As I mentioned earlier, I had a couple of my four ladies end up FIMed incorrectly. This resulted in normal single stalk plants which were shooting up way faster than the bushy FIMed "spiderplants". I had been tying down one of these, and the other I just started tying down last night. I...

All the advice is very much appreciated gentlemen! I will be using AN this time around... I thought I said that somewhere in this post, but it might be somewhere in my others. The local shop stocks all their stuff and is knowledgeable about it's use. I have a friend who swears by fox farms as...

This guide helped me a lot. http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=11688 After reading 90% of the different possible deficiencies, I decided that pH was probably my problem as it looked like my plants had multiple deficiencies all at once. We will see how they are doing in a few days after...

I had a bad experience moving a plant that was under 24 hour light from one kind of light to another during its cycle. I would keep it under CFL lights during the dark period of my flower room. During the "daytime" in the flower room I'd put the mother under the 1200w of HPS lights I have in...

I'm swapping to DWC for my next grow and will be using Advanced Nutrients SensiGrow 2 part grow & bloom. I am a bit confused on feeding and can't seem to find the answers to some super basic questions about how to feed plants in a DWC setup or how to use nutes in a hydro setup in general. In a...

After doing a lot of research about what could be causing my leaf issues on my little clones, I started to think there was a pH problem. Another dude also suggested this in my thread in the "plant problems" section. I got this idea because there was no single "deficiency" that my plants seemed...

After doing a bunch of reading, and having someone confirm my thoughts in my grow journal thread... I've decided it's a pH problem which is what I think you are saying. I'll be zipping over to the grocery store in a bit here to pick up some water. Gonna be another FUN afternoon pouring water...

I totally agree about the pH problem. When I picked up the stuff for my next grow, I also bought a pH / EC / PPM meter. I hadn't checked the water at my house AT ALL up to that point for pH. Turns out my houses water sits ~8. Unless someone has better advice, I think I'm going to take a ton of...

Here is some pics of one of the clones that is looking terrible. The leaves start with brown spots that expand as the leaf dries and turns brownish yellow and then gets crunchy. This was at first just with the veg leaves, but is now starting to effect the bud growth leaves :( Please, any...

Now that I have hopefully explained my setup, I'll just be posting updates with pics as things change. Currently the plants have been budding for 24ish days. The three clones look like hell - the large leaves are dying and turning yellow with spots... and then falling off. The big plants look...

I put my plants on a 12/12 light schedule around the 4th of the month. This was about a month after the seeds first showed through the soil. Right before changing the light schedule, I replanted the plants into their final containers. I had also FIMed the plants right around the same time. This...
