The lime only raises the PH if its below 7 its a buffer as mentioned but keeps everything neutral or at 7. As for the water I use Tap and store it in a 12 gallon tall kitchen trash can that is aerated. I am also hanging a cheap fish tank filter with a large nylon sack of activated charcoal that...
most likely you need to add heating matt under the tray which helps produce the humidity without needing to spray the dome. Just add some water to the tray and the heating matt will keep your growing media nice and warm and it will produce high humidity. Remember the cutting will get the water...
Lol watching CSI has me convinced its the pictures your taking that will lead them right to you. They look up a mfers latitude and longitude from a picture all the time now on the shows, the phone cams supposedly now tag all the pics with lat and longitude like gps.
You did not mention what kind of lights your using, if you dont have HID then dont expect anything that big unless your very lucky with first grow, more wattage will bring more size more than any food you give
Until something knocks my socks off I like the Blueberry from BCBUD they finish extremely fast, normally at 6 weeks they can be taken down and the buds start from a dense ball and build tight the entire way, I have grown a lot of purple strains but the blueberry is still the one that turns heads...
sounds like you used some good medium and yes you can definitely re use soil but you want to make sure to stay organic if doing so or its not that simple. Start reading about TLO or just organic growing and you will start to learn the natural ingredients which make up the good soil. You can...
The best thing to do is grow more shit next time so you dont run out and start plucking shit before its done, lol as mentioned your not speeding up the chemical reactions you are just speed drying its better to just go buy a dam bag and stop running out, if you have to find a way to speed dry...
And that humidity is fine for veg but you want to drop it way down during flower below 40% or just at it to finish up, try the dirt its way more forgiving, hydro is cool and fast but not for beginners. Stay green
I think you should ditch the rockwool and put them right into a soiless mix, or bury the rockwool in the mix as well, Pro Mix or Sunshine mix are two very good ones but starting off with clones and keeping them in rockwool I think is a mistake and bound for trouble. The rockwool was to get them...
forgot cloning autos and just let them germninate and get a shitload of seeds. Pay less for the regular non fem seeds and just purposely let them germinate so you have 500 or so seeds and dont have to buy them again, this is much easier than trying to clone something everyone says not to.
Sorry to hear man but I cant believe it would be that hard to hide an auto outdoors somewhere seeing as the light pattern does not matter and its going to flower no matter what. Fuck that dude if your getting evicted why not roll out now and hide that mfer somewhere outside and figure out what...
i dont care when I am taking clones and wet the soil in the cups I use with tap water but beyond that I always let it sit out, I use 12 gallon kitchen trash cans as my nute resoviors with air stones, since you will need a large container for nutes if you have not already learned, you are already...
Another note everyone is suggesting the ocean forest soil which is good but you will want to go with organic ferts with that as its an organic soil and you should not buy that and then put chemical fertilizer in it as it will kill all the beneficial shit. If your going to use chemical fertilizer...

if your having issues you need to go ahead and start off right and not get cheap shit from home depot. Sunshine Mix or the Bcuzz are two good grow mediums that wont burn your shit up or give bugs in your closet...
I would say they look fine stop fucking with them and allow them to do thier thing, with all the nutes your blasting them with already I would just stick to what your doing and dont look for more "tricks" if it aint broke dont fix it. You should be able to do another grow and tell us what worked...
The company Atami makes Bloombastic also have a line of grow medium
