That's not burn of any kind, that was the sign of an early calcium deficiency. You can tell exactly when you started feeding them , and you were probably a few days late (which also would explain the slow growth) :) Those leaves will continue to look worse and worse as they get larger. Don't...

Cool, I have never used them, and I usually avoid commenting on anything I don't have personal experience with...I just always imagined them breaking up and going through the system and clogging my pump. I grow good size plants, the stalks will end up bigger than the rooters, so they would be...

1- You must have some nutes in the water or it will not grow. It has by this time used up all the energy that was in the seed. Soil growers may add plain water for a bit as there is some nutrient in the soil, but hydro growers must have something in the water for the plants to grow with...

I can't remember from the far red thread if you mentioned whether the reduced flowering time also reduced your yield. Could you give us a bit more about that please Captain? I'm not sure I have what it takes to re-read that whole thread :/

If 1 square meter equals 10.76 square feet Then 3 square meters equals 32.28 square feet nxsov180db gets the gold star. doz I believe you are picturing 3mx3m which is 9 sq m which is 96,84 sq ft

Are the roots long enough to hang down into the nutrients? For the first week or so I would keep the water high enough so that the pot is in the water at least a quarter inch or so, just so the hydroten can wick up whatever water the plant wants. You might even water from the top a couple...

IMO not a good idea to go too long between res changes. I have done so in the past as I wanted to be thrifty with nutes, but my yield was a lot less. The wastes that the plants produce tend to build up over time and need to be changed out. Also you will have an increasing percentage of your...

Maybe in soil, but not hydro, Once it gets its first set of leaves it needs something other than water to grow with. My last seed run I waited a couple days too late to give them their first food and the first set of leaves showed MAJOR calcium, magnesium, and other deficiencies till they were...

You train your roots? And prune them? Please tell us more :) Or are you saying that you slow down root growth by the way you train the tops of your plants.

Keep in mind that although most people talk about the adult gnats and will give you tons of advice on how to control them, its the larvae that are the real concern. People who are soil growers don't often get to see what's going on in the rootzone. While the adults buzzing around the top of...

If that was the case this thread wouldn't exist :) The large plant I was referring to earlier was 6 feet wide and 7 feet tall (180cm+ wide, 210cm+ tall). The 10-12 gallon (37-44L) bucket was much too small It became rootbound in the second week of flower and certainly affected the yield on...

Well this is a good example of why the question is dependent on style of growing, and really has more to do with DWC than what you're doing. Obviously a 20 gram plant doesn't have a giant root system, but last run 1 my smallest plant was around 250g, my largest was over 700g. So really, each...

^^ This. Find a plumbing supply place, everything will be much cheaper there than at hardware stores. I use flexible spa hose, its very tough. You'll need to switch over to bulkheads though, but they're sooooo much better its worth it. I would never use uniseals, and the supply place charges...

Currently experimenting with just this issue. In my experience, 5 gallon buckets are only good for veg, I need to switch them over to a larger bucket in my grow area, as they completely get choked off. Some strains grow bigger root systems though, and I can't even make it through veg with the...

Yeah he was basically saying that its probably easier to pull big weight growing sog with high yield strains, which is obviously true.

Thanks for including that info, it makes for some interesting reading. I think you must be on to something there when you speculate that in the old days they weren't separating seeds before testing. If you watch videos from the Ocean Grown crew especially VaderOG, they say that when they smoke...

Yes he uses Recharge regularly, so has tons of beneficials, but the MammothP with its colonies of phosphorus solubilizing bacteria provided a level of growth in flower that he wasn't getting before.

When are we getting another youtube update? (I was your first sub :) )

But which part are you speaking of for that price? They make a whole line from small to large cobs. Without knowing the wattage or lumens produced there is no way of knowing if it is a good deal.

Got a link for those? They sound sexy
