    Milky white trichs at 3 weeks 12-12

    No, it's a healthy looking plant, it's actually a seed from a hermie that I had grew with bag seed , it dosen't look any thing like the other ones. I know some plants ripen faster but three weeks of 12-12!! Gotta be something I'm doing wrong. It's a 3 Gal pot, growing in Canna Coco coir and A+B...

    Milky white trichs at 3 weeks 12-12

    I am growing bag seed, only 3 weeks into 12-12 and all trichomes are milky white already and like 10% of pistils are changing colors. Is it normal for all trichs to be milky white already? Buds are still very small.

    Yellowish discoloration along the veins of the new leaves

    Only the top of the plant was affected. I was suspecting that it was too close to my 600W HPS and already moved the light up, hope that's all it was.

    Yellowish discoloration along the veins of the new leaves

    No, regular tap water that i let stand a week prior to using. Tap water is 0.3 EC so I add Cal-Mag until it gets to 0.5 then I add my nutrients untill water is 2.0 EC.

    Yellowish discoloration along the veins of the new leaves

    It is a DWC, roots are fine, plant is getting tap water that I let stand for a week almost. GH 3 part nutrients (I keep it at around 2.2 EC) I balance pH at 5.8. My tap water is 0.3 EC so I add cal-mag 'till I hit 0.5, then add nutrients. My question is, what am I doing wrong!? I know this...

    Is this a male flower spiting a pistil?

    Very comforting, thanks guys. I've seen a few like this and was taking them off by fear of having them open up into a flower. Just seems like they are more round, like a male pollen sac. Most calyxes are more elongated like a tear drop.

    Beneficial Tea Question

    Yea, I noticed the buckets would start having that fish tank smell in them after a week when they were just starting. Now, all I smell after a week are nice healthy white roots, it's like an earthy potato smell. I think I will change it every 10 days or so now. Thanks for the input, this is my...

    Leaf Problem or too healthy?

    They are self pollinated hermie seeds. I selected my favorite female from the last batch and am cloning her right now.The ones in the pic are all hermie seeds though, not clones. Some leaves have 4 and 6 points so I'm starting to think the big one is a mutant...I don't care as long as she turns...

    Beneficial Tea Question

    Hi guys, I just brewed my first batch of beneficial tea with Aquashield, EWC and ZHO and molasses. My question is, can you leave the bubblers run longer without changing water? I was hoping to be able to leave them running two weeks now instead of one. Would this be safe or would I be venturing...

    Leaf Problem or too healthy?

    I don't know why a DWC plant could be dehydrated and if anything, it's too cold in the attic in the winter, not too hot. My tap water is at 150 ppm and my solution totals at 1350ppm. I started adding cal-mag and bring my water up to 250ppm with it since I spotted the rust spots on some of the...

    Leaf Problem or too healthy?

    I don't know why a DWC plant could be dehydrated and if anything, it's too cold in the attic in the winter, not too hot.I have no problem keeping reservoir temp between 65 and 70. Sometimes I have to add a fish tank heater just to stay up there. I assure you it's not too hot. My tap water is at...

    Hillbilly Chiller help Please!

    I have a large tote that i can sit two 5 gal buckets in and then, add water in the tote, about half way up the 5 gal buckets. Afterwards, I still have room in there for three 2 litres of ice (old ginger ale bottles that i filled with tap water) that I rotate in the deep freeze, six in all. So...

    Leaf Problem or too healthy?

    This is my favorite , they are random feminized seeds from a herman, this one is 32 dayss from sprouting. The cocos in the back are doing good too, they are 28 days from sprout. No fancy manifold for me, these are going to be V2 only, Y or slingshot...whatever you want to call it. Only 16 days...

    Flora Micro root stain

    Thanks for your reply. I reflected a bit after reading your post and realized that the hot water tank has never been replaced and used to be hooked up to galvanized pipes. I was using hot water to get to 68 degrees when refilling my bucket(to avoid shocking the roots). After comparing my hot and...

    My house is not new, but all plumbing was redone, it's a combination of PEX and copper pipes. I'm using city water, it measures at 150ppm, I add cal-mag to bring it up to 250ppm. I put aquashield every 4 days.
